Moorpark allows indoor cultivation of up to 6 cannabis plants per household as required by California state law (Prop 64). Plants must be grown indoors and not visible from public areas. No commercial cultivation, sales, or warehousing of marijuana is allowed anywhere in Moorpark.
Under California Proposition 64 (Adult Use of Marijuana Act), adults 21 and older may cultivate up to 6 cannabis plants per residence for personal use. Moorpark permits this indoor cultivation as required by state law but prohibits any outdoor growing. Plants must be kept in a locked space not visible from a public place. No commercial cultivation, processing, distribution, sales, or warehousing of marijuana is permitted in the city. Medical marijuana patients with valid prescriptions may have cannabis delivered to their homes, but recreational delivery remains prohibited in Moorpark. The city's smoking ordinance (Chapter 8.32) regulates where marijuana may be smoked, applying the same restrictions as tobacco.
Growing more than 6 plants, outdoor cultivation, or any commercial cannabis activity violates both state and local law. Outdoor plants visible from public areas may be subject to administrative citation. Commercial operations face criminal prosecution. Contact Code Compliance at (805) 517-6232.
