Riverside County permits up to six cannabis plants per residence indoors for personal use, mirroring state Proposition 64 minimums while restricting outdoor cultivation in unincorporated areas.
California Proposition 64 (Health and Safety Code 11362.2) allows adults 21+ to cultivate up to six plants per private residence for personal use. Riverside County codified compliance through Ordinance 348.4801, requiring indoor cultivation in a locked, secure structure not visible from public view. Outdoor personal cultivation is generally prohibited in unincorporated areas, a restriction allowed under HSC 11362.2(b)(3). Plants must be out of public view, and the residence cannot use cannabis for commercial sale without state and county licensing. Tenants need landlord consent.
Exceeding six plants or outdoor cultivation in unincorporated areas: code citation, abatement order, plant destruction, fines.
