California Proposition 64 allows adults 21 and older to cultivate up to 6 cannabis plants per household for personal use. Simi Valley requires cultivation to be indoors and out of public view consistent with state law requirements.
Under California Health and Safety Code 11362.2 (Proposition 64), adults 21 and older in Simi Valley may cultivate up to 6 cannabis plants per household for personal use. Simi Valley requires all residential cultivation to occur indoors in a secure, enclosed space not visible from public areas. Plants must not be visible from the street or neighboring properties. The growing area must comply with building code requirements for ventilation, electrical load, and fire safety. Growing accessories (lights, fans, generators) must not create noise or odor that constitutes a nuisance. Medical cannabis patients with valid recommendations may have additional cultivation rights under MCRSA. Local ordinances may impose additional restrictions beyond state minimums.
Outdoor cultivation in public view is a code violation. Exceeding the 6-plant limit is a state law violation. Cultivation that creates nuisance conditions (odor, noise, excessive electrical use) results in Code Enforcement action. Commercial-scale cultivation without a license is a criminal offense.
