Adults 21 and older in Los Angeles may cultivate up to six living cannabis plants per private residence under California Proposition 64, with plants kept indoors, in a locked area, and out of public view, mirroring statewide Health and Safety Code Section 11362.1.
California Proposition 64, codified at Health and Safety Code Section 11362.1, permits any adult 21 or older to cultivate up to six plants total per residence, regardless of how many adults live there. Outdoor cultivation is allowed only when the plants are not visible from a public place and are secured behind a locked enclosure. LA does not impose stricter local plant counts but enforces nuisance, odor, and electrical safety rules through LADBS, LAFD, and LAPD. Renters need landlord permission. Plants must not be cultivated where minors can access them and cannot be sold without a state license.
Exceeding six plants is a state infraction or misdemeanor under HSC Section 11358. Cultivation visible from public view, missing locks, or any sale without a license can also trigger LAMC nuisance abatement and code enforcement.
