Home cultivation of cannabis is illegal in Salt Lake City and throughout Utah; only state-licensed facilities may grow cannabis for medical purposes.
Utah Code Title 4 Chapter 41a and Title 26B Chapter 4 Part 2 govern medical cannabis. Only licensed cannabis production establishments may cultivate cannabis in Utah; patients and home growers cannot legally grow any cannabis plant. Recreational cannabis remains illegal under Utah law. Possession of a cannabis plant without a production license is a felony under Utah Code 58-37-8. Salt Lake City does not override state law, so home cultivation is not permitted within city limits regardless of medical cardholder status.
