Full Breakdown

Under ARS §36-2852, adults 21+ may cultivate marijuana at their primary residence. Limit: 6 plants per person, 12 per household (2+ adults). Plants must be in a locked, enclosed area not visible from public areas. Growing outdoors in an open yard is not permitted. Homegrown marijuana cannot be sold. Landlords and HOAs may restrict cultivation. Yuma's extreme heat (115°F+ in summer) makes indoor cultivation with climate control the only practical option. No separate municipal permit required for home cultivation.
