This means people 19 and older can grow up to four cannabis plants at home and licensed stores can sell up to four plants, or the equivalent of 30 grams of dried cannabis in seeds, to one customer.

Below is a summary of the law:

• A person 19 or older can grow up to four plants at home.
• There is a maximum of four plants per household.
• Cannabis plants and/or seeds must be bought from a licensed cannabis store.
• A person can’t grow cannabis in multiple locations.
• Cannabis must be grown indoors and kept in a room, container or enclosure that’s not accessible to people under 19.
• Any harvested, home-grown cannabis can be kept unpackaged and unlabeled in a person’s home or in public.

If you rent your home or live in a condo, it’s important to know other laws may apply (e.g., The Landlord and Tenant Act, The Condominium Act). Your property manager or condominium board may have rules about using or growing cannabis in the building. Ensure you know and follow the rules specific to your residence about cannabis use and home grow.

Growing cannabis safely
Always ensure you’re following municipal and provincial laws, including local bylaws, when growing cannabis in your home. These include bylaws about:

• Fire safety
• Electrical safety
• Zoning
• Inspection requirements
• Remediation requirements

Ensure all cannabis plants can’t be reached by anyone under 19 years old and pets. When growing plants indoors, it’s recommended to keep them in a ventilated area to avoid mould developing on your plants or in your home.
