How Many Recreational Pot Plants Can I Grow?

If you live in a state where marijuana has been legalized for recreational use, you may be wondering how many pot plants you can legally grow. The answer to this question varies depending on the state you live in and the specific laws in that state. Here's a look at some of the rules and regulations regarding recreational pot plant cultivation in different states:

Colorado

One of the first states to legalize recreational marijuana, Colorado allows adults over the age of 21 to grow up to six plants in their own private residence, with no more than three plants in the flowering stage at one time. Individuals are allowed to keep all of the marijuana harvested from their own plants, regardless of the amount.

Oregon

Like Colorado, Oregon also allows adults over the age of 21 to cultivate up to six plants in their own home. However, only four of these plants can be mature and flowering at the same time. Oregon also allows for an additional four plants to be grown if a registered medical marijuana patient lives at the residence.

Washington

In Washington, adults over the age of 21 are allowed to grow up to six plants, but only for personal use. Any marijuana harvested from these plants is limited to one ounce of usable marijuana, 16 ounces of marijuana-infused product in solid form, or 72 ounces of marijuana-infused product in liquid form. Washington also requires that all plants be grown within a secure locked facility that is not visible to the public.

Alaska

Alaska allows adults over the age of 21 to cultivate up to six plants for personal use, with three of these plants allowed to be mature and flowering at the same time. However, Alaska also requires that any marijuana grown be kept in a secure location, away from the public eye.

Nevada

In Nevada, adults over the age of 21 can grow up to six plants for personal use, but only if they live more than 25 miles away from a licensed dispensary. If they live within 25 miles of a dispensary, they are not allowed to grow their own marijuana.

California

California allows adults over the age of 21 to grow up to six plants for personal use. However, the rules regarding recreational marijuana cultivation are still somewhat in flux, and it is unclear whether or not local municipalities will be allowed to regulate homegrown cannabis plants. It is important to check your local laws before starting to grow marijuana at home.

Overall, the laws regarding recreational marijuana cultivation vary greatly depending on where you live. If you are interested in growing your own pot plants, it is important to do your research and find out the specific laws and regulations in your state.
