Ohio Issue 2 (2023) legalized adult recreational cannabis. Lakewood residents 21+ may grow up to 6 plants per person, max 12 per household, in a secure area not visible from public view.
Under Ohio Revised Code Chapter 3780 (enacted by Issue 2 in November 2023), adults 21 and older may cultivate up to 6 cannabis plants per person with a household cap of 12 plants total. Plants must be grown in a secured area not visible from public space or accessible to those under 21. Rentals may prohibit cultivation via lease. Lakewood has not passed a local ban on home grow, which is consistent with state preemption that limits municipal authority over personal use and home cultivation quantities.
Exceeding plant limits: civil and criminal penalties under ORC 3780. Visible or unsecured grows: local nuisance enforcement possible. Renter leases may permit eviction for violation.
