Full Breakdown
2, enacted by Proposition 64 (Adult Use of Marijuana Act), adults 21 and older may cultivate up to six living cannabis plants per household regardless of the number of residents. Plants must be grown in a locked space not visible from a public place. Indoor cultivation cannot be banned by local jurisdictions under state law. Sanger may impose reasonable regulations on outdoor cultivation including requiring plants to be grown in enclosed and locked structures. The six-plant limit applies per residence, not per person. All cannabis produced must be for personal use and cannot be sold without proper state and local commercial licensing.
Cultivation must comply with state environmental requirements including restrictions on pesticide use and water diversion. Landlords and property owners may prohibit cannabis cultivation on their property. Home cultivation areas may not use volatile solvents for extraction. The growing area cannot involve structural modifications that would require an unpermitted building alteration. Electrical systems used for indoor growing must meet California Electrical Code standards to prevent fire hazards. Sanger Police Department enforces violations exceeding the personal cultivation limits.
Violations & Fines
Cultivating more than six plants per household is a criminal offense under Health and Safety Code 11358. Persons 18-20 face an infraction and up to $100 fine for up to six plants. Growing cannabis visible from a public place violates state law. Commercial-scale cultivation without proper licensing is a misdemeanor or felony depending on quantity and prior offenses. Illegal electrical modifications for grow operations may result in fire department enforcement.
