Recreational home growing is illegal in Illinois. Adults 21 and older may possess up to 30 grams, but only registered medical patients may cultivate, capped at five plants. A non-patient home grow is a civil violation, not a permitted activity Peoria County can authorize.
Illinois legalized adult-use cannabis under the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act (410 ILCS 705, 2020); adults 21 and older may possess up to 30 grams of flower. Home growing, though, is not part of that. Only a registered medical patient 21 or older under the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Program Act may cultivate, capped at five plants over five inches tall per household, in an enclosed, locked space out of public view. A non-patient who grows faces a civil law violation punishable by a fine up to $200 and forfeiture of the plants. Neither Peoria County nor the City of Peoria can authorize recreational home cultivation; state law controls.
A non-patient home grow of five or fewer plants is a civil law violation, a fine up to $200 and forfeiture of the plants; larger grows carry escalating criminal penalties under state law.
