Adults 21 and older in Hennepin County may grow up to eight cannabis plants per household under Minn. Stat. 342.09, with no more than four mature plants flowering at one time.
Minnesota law allows adults 21 and older to cultivate cannabis at their primary residence. Households may grow up to eight plants total, with no more than four flowering simultaneously. Plants must be grown in an enclosed, locked space not visible from public spaces and not accessible to anyone under 21. Hennepin County and member cities may not prohibit home cultivation but may apply general nuisance, odor, and ventilation standards. Renters need landlord permission, since landlords may restrict cultivation in lease terms.
Exceeding plant limits, growing in view of public, or allowing minors access can trigger criminal charges and forfeiture of plants under Minn. Stat. 342.09.
