Lodi permits indoor personal cannabis cultivation of up to six plants per residence for adults 21 and over, consistent with California Proposition 64. Outdoor cultivation is prohibited, and cultivation must be in a fully enclosed area not visible to the public.
Lodi has implemented California's Adult Use of Marijuana Act (Proposition 64, codified at Health & Safety Code §11362.1-§11362.45) with strict local restrictions on commercial activity and a complete prohibition on outdoor cultivation in residential areas. Adults 21 and over may grow up to six cannabis plants per residence for personal use, but cultivation must occur entirely indoors or in a fully enclosed accessory structure that meets building code, with no cannabis or odor detectable from public view. Medical patients may exceed six plants only with a physician's recommendation and only within the enclosed-area requirement. Smoking cannabis in public is prohibited under H&S §11362.3 and Lodi's open-container/public-smoking provisions.
Outdoor cultivation, cultivation in excess of 6 plants without a medical recommendation, or visible cultivation is a violation enforced as an infraction or misdemeanor with fines and required abatement. Repeat or commercial cultivation is referred to Lodi Police.
