Westland follows Michigan's MRTMA, which allows adults 21+ to grow up to 12 marijuana plants per household for personal use in a secure, enclosed area not visible from public spaces.
Recreational home cultivation in Westland is governed by the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act (MRTMA, Initiated Law 1 of 2018), which preempts local bans on personal use and home grows. Adults 21 and older may grow up to 12 marijuana plants per household (not per adult) for personal consumption, provided the plants are kept in an enclosed, locked area such as a locked room, garage, or fenced yard, and are not visible from a public place by normal unaided observation. Sale of home-grown product is prohibited; only state-licensed retailers may sell. Registered medical caregivers under the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act may grow additional plants for up to five qualifying patients (12 per patient) in addition to personal plants. Westland's local ordinances do not impose stricter limits but standard zoning, building safety, electrical permitting, odor, and property maintenance rules still apply.
