Growing cannabis at home is legal in Licking County. Ohio law lets adults 21 and older cultivate up to six plants each, twelve per household, in a secured area that is not visible from public spaces.
Home cultivation is legal statewide, and Licking County follows Ohio law. Under the Marijuana Control Law in Ohio Revised Code Chapter 3796 — renumbered from Chapter 3780 after Issue 2 legalized adult use — an adult 21 or older may grow up to six marijuana plants, with no more than twelve at a single residence when more than one adult lives there. Plants must be in a secured, enclosed area that keeps out anyone under twenty-one and is not visible by normal sight from a public space. Adults may possess up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana. Neither the county nor a township can ban a legal home grow, though landlords may prohibit it in rentals.
Growing more than the six-per-adult or twelve-per-household limit, or where plants are visible or unsecured, can bring civil penalties; cultivating for unlicensed sale remains a criminal offense.
