Growing Marijuana Legally: State-by-State Map 2021

109.146Some states still prohibit medical cannabis users from cultivating their own cannabis, however.


In some locations, it's a no-go, no matter how far you are from a dispensary.



In other states, you can grow a couple of plants at home if you live more than 25 miles approximately from the nearest cannabis vendor.


Plant Tracking (and Fees)


Still other states have particular growing requirements such as tagging your plants with your registration number for the Medical Marijuana News program.


Sometimes, costs apply to the tags-again, it varies by state.

In a lot of places, people try to keep their grows hidden anyway. After all, security is a leading issue (more on that in a minute).
