Naperville follows Illinois state law on cannabis. Recreational home cultivation is prohibited statewide. Only registered medical cannabis patients may grow up to 5 plants at home. Naperville banned recreational cannabis sales in 2019.
Under Illinois Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act (410 ILCS 705), recreational cannabis home cultivation is not permitted. Only patients registered in the Illinois medical cannabis program may grow up to 5 plants at home in an enclosed, locked space. Naperville City Council voted 13-1 in 2019 to ban all recreational cannabis business operations within city limits. The city's medical cannabis dispensary (3C Compassionate Care Center on Quincy Avenue) was allowed to continue medical operations but could not sell recreational cannabis. The city has not reversed this ban. Possession and use of recreational cannabis by adults 21+ is legal under state law, but sales and commercial operations remain banned within Naperville.
Recreational home grow: state law violation, Class A misdemeanor. Medical grow exceeding 5 plants: license violation. Operating cannabis business in Naperville: local ordinance violation with fines.
