Adults 21 and over may grow up to six cannabis plants per residence in Berkeley under Proposition 64. Plants must be in a locked, secured area not visible from public spaces.
California Health and Safety Code section 11362.2, enacted by Proposition 64 in 2016, lets adults 21 and over cultivate up to six cannabis plants per private residence, regardless of how many adults live there. Berkeley follows the state floor and does not require a permit for personal home cultivation. Plants must be in a locked space and not visible from a public place. Outdoor cultivation is permitted in Berkeley as long as plants are screened from public view. Local rules cannot reduce the six-plant indoor allowance, though they can regulate outdoor cultivation.
Growing more than six plants, leaving plants in public view, or selling without a license can trigger code-enforcement citations and possible criminal charges under state law.
