Personal cannabis cultivation is illegal anywhere in Boise. Idaho Code 37-2732 makes growing even one plant a misdemeanor or felony depending on quantity, with no city authority to authorize home grows.
Idaho law makes no distinction between personal-use and commercial cultivation: any growing of marijuana is unlawful under Idaho Code 37-2732, with penalties scaling to the weight harvested. Possession of three ounces or less is a misdemeanor; larger amounts and any manufacture (including cultivation) escalate to felony status. Idaho Code 37-2732B trafficking thresholds apply if dried weight or plant count is significant. Boise cannot create a personal-cultivation exemption because state law preempts and the underlying activity is a controlled-substance crime. Even sealed grow tents detected by power-utility anomalies, odor complaints, or visual inspection during search warrants are prosecutable.
Cultivation is a felony under Idaho Code 37-2732, prosecuted by Ada County Prosecuting Attorney. Plants are seized, equipment forfeited, and homes may face civil-asset-forfeiture exposure.
