Adults 21+ in Lynn may grow up to 6 cannabis plants at home, capped at 12 per household, under Massachusetts law. Plants must be in a locked area and hidden from public view. Lynn follows the state limits.
Massachusetts law (MGL c.94G §7) lets an adult 21 or older grow up to 6 marijuana plants at their residence, capped at 12 plants per household no matter how many adults live there. Plants must be kept in an area equipped with a lock or security device and not visible from a public place without binoculars, aircraft, or other optical aids. Lynn applies the state personal-cultivation limits and has not published stricter local caps; a landlord may still prohibit growing in a lease. Growing for sale requires a state Cannabis Control Commission license.
Improper security or public visibility carries a civil penalty up to $300 and forfeiture under MGL c.94G §7. Growing 7 to 12 plants is a civil penalty up to $100. Unlicensed cultivation for sale brings criminal charges.
