California Proposition 64 (2016) and Health and Safety Code 11362.2 allow adults 21+ to cultivate up to six cannabis plants per private residence. Sacramento permits indoor home cultivation but restricts outdoor visibility.
Under California Health and Safety Code 11362.2, an adult 21 or older may cultivate up to six living cannabis plants per private residence and possess the harvest from those plants. Sacramento aligns with state law for indoor cultivation in a private, locked space not visible from public areas. Outdoor cultivation must comply with city restrictions limiting public view and odor nuisance. Tenants must follow lease terms that may prohibit cultivation. Cities cannot ban indoor home cultivation outright but may impose reasonable regulations. Cultivation must not be visible from any public place, sidewalk, or neighboring property using normal vision.
Exceeding six plants, growing where visible to the public, or producing an odor nuisance can result in citations, plant abatement, and possible criminal charges under H&S Code 11358 for over-limit cultivation.
