Cannabis remains illegal under Texas state law. Home cultivation of marijuana is a felony in Texas regardless of the amount. Texas has a very limited Compassionate Use Program for low-THC cannabis oil for specific medical conditions, but it does not permit home cultivation. Plano follows state law and has no local exception.
Home cultivation of cannabis in Plano is governed by Texas state cannabis regulations. In states where adult-use cannabis is legal, residents 21 and older may typically grow 4–6 plants per household in a private, enclosed area. Plants must not be visible from public spaces without visual aids. Growing areas must be secured against access by minors. Plano may impose additional local restrictions including indoor-only cultivation requirements, prohibition of outdoor growing, or total local bans on home cultivation where state law permits. Cultivation for sale without a commercial license is prohibited. Odor from cannabis plants that creates a public nuisance may violate Plano's nuisance ordinance. Rental properties and HOAs may have their own prohibitions regardless of local law.
Exceeding plant limits: $250–$1,000 fine and plant seizure. Visible cultivation from public: $100–$500 fine. Cultivation in prohibited areas (local ban): $500–$2,500 fine. Sale without license: criminal charges.
