Michigan law lets adults 21 and over cultivate up to twelve marihuana plants per household for personal use under MCL Section 333.27955, and Grand Rapids may not prohibit this, only regulate visibility and security.
The Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act allows residents 21+ to grow up to twelve plants at their primary residence, regardless of how many adults live there. Plants must be in an enclosed, locked area not visible from public spaces, including shielded outdoor enclosures. Grand Rapids cannot ban personal cultivation but enforces nuisance standards under property-maintenance and odor rules. Sale of home-grown product is prohibited; only gifts to other adults are allowed, and processing using flammable solvents is forbidden.
Exceeding the twelve-plant cap, growing in plain view, or selling home-grown cannabis is a misdemeanor under state law and may also trigger Grand Rapids nuisance abatement and odor enforcement.
