Adults 21 and older in Detroit may cultivate up to 12 marijuana plants per household for personal use under MCL §333.27955. Plants must be in a secure, enclosed area not visible from public spaces or readily accessible to minors.
Michigan's MRTMA at MCL §333.27955 authorizes home cultivation of up to 12 marijuana plants per residence regardless of how many adults live there. Detroit has not added stricter local limits, so the state cap controls. Plants must be grown indoors or in an enclosed locked outdoor structure not visible from a public street, sidewalk, or neighboring property. Cultivation in rental units depends on the lease; landlords may prohibit or restrict cultivation under MCL §333.27954(2). Sale of homegrown marijuana is prohibited; sharing up to 2.5 ounces with another adult is allowed. Local enforcement comes from Detroit Police when complaints involve odor, structural hazards, or unsecured plants accessible to children.
Cultivating more than 12 plants, growing visible from public view, allowing minor access, or selling homegrown product can lead to misdemeanor or felony charges under MCL §333.27965 and city nuisance citations.
