This bill legalizes the growing and possession of marijuana plants for personal use by individuals aged 21 and older. Specifically, it allows for the cultivation of up to six marijuana plants for personal recreational use, with a maximum of 12 plants per household. Additionally, qualifying patients or their designated caregivers can grow or possess up to 10 marijuana plants for personal medical use, also with a maximum of 12 plants per household. The bill stipulates that such possession and cultivation will not be considered a crime, offense, act of delinquency, or civil violation of law.

The bill amends existing law by removing previous restrictions on marijuana possession and cultivation, specifically deleting the provision that classified possession of marijuana in amounts greater than five pounds or ten plants as a crime. It also introduces new legal language that clarifies the conditions under which individuals can grow and possess marijuana plants without facing legal repercussions. Furthermore, the Cannabis Regulatory Commission is tasked with implementing rules and regulations to support the enforcement of these new provisions within 90 days of the bill's effective date.
