Growing marijuana at home is illegal in Texas regardless of city. Pasadena follows state law — cultivation of any amount is a felony under Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 481. Only licensed TCUP dispensaries may grow low-THC cannabis.
Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 481 prohibits cultivation of marijuana (cannabis with over 0.3% THC) by individuals. Growing any amount is a felony offense. Pasadena does not have local authority to permit home cultivation. The Compassionate Use Program (TCUP) allows only licensed dispensing organizations to cultivate low-THC cannabis (1% or less THC). Hemp cultivation (under 0.3% THC) requires a USDA-compliant state license from the Texas Department of Agriculture.
