Full Breakdown

Minnesota legalized personal cannabis cultivation effective August 2023 under Minn. Stat. §342. Adults 21 and older may grow up to eight plants per residence, with no more than four flowering at a time, regardless of the number of adults living there. The garden must be in an enclosed, locked space not viewable from public places, including streets, sidewalks, or neighboring yards. Renters need landlord permission, and some leases may prohibit cultivation. Minneapolis Title 8 Chapter 280 mirrors state limits and adds odor-control expectations as a nuisance issue, particularly for cultivation in dense neighborhoods.

Violations & Fines

Exceeding plant limits, growing in public view, cultivating without landlord permission, or causing persistent odor nuisances can lead to civil penalties, lease termination, and confiscation of excess plants.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can two adults each grow eight plants?

No. The eight-plant limit is per residence, not per adult. Even with multiple adults living there, the household cannot exceed eight plants total or four flowering.

Do I need landlord approval to grow at home?

Yes if you rent. Landlords may prohibit cultivation in lease terms. Minn. Stat. §342 protects personal grow rights but does not override valid lease restrictions.
