Arizona legalized recreational cannabis in 2020 (Proposition 207, Smart and Safe Arizona Act). Adults 21 and older may cultivate up to 6 plants per person in an enclosed, locked space not visible from public view. Households with two or more adults 21+ may grow up to 12 plants total. Gilbert follows state law and does not impose additional cultivation restrictions.
Gilbert allows adults 21 and over to grow a limited number of cannabis plants at home under state law. Typically 6 plants per household or fewer depending on local rules. Plants must be in a locked, enclosed area not visible from public spaces. Odor control may be required. Landlords may prohibit growing in rental properties. Local jurisdictions may impose stricter limits than state law. Growing for sale requires a commercial license.
Exceeding plant limits: warning, then fines $100 to $500. Visible grows: citation. Growing for unlicensed sale: criminal charges.
