California Proposition 64 and Health & Safety Code §11362.2 allow Fresno residents 21+ to cultivate up to six cannabis plants indoors per private residence, but outdoor home cultivation is banned under FMC §9-3320.
Under California Proposition 64 (Health and Safety Code §11362.2), adults 21 and older may cultivate up to six cannabis plants per private residence for personal use. Local governments may not ban indoor cultivation but may regulate it and may prohibit outdoor cultivation. Fresno chose to ban outdoor cultivation entirely under FMC §9-3320, restricting all six plants to a fully enclosed, secure indoor space at the residence. Plants must not be visible from public view. Cultivators may not sell their personal supply, and only one residence per parcel may cultivate even if multiple adults live there.
Outdoor cultivation, exceeding six plants, or visible cultivation triggers FMC infractions starting at $100, escalating to misdemeanor charges under Cal. H&S Code §11358 for cultivation beyond the six-plant limit.
