How much medical marijuana can I cultivate legally in San Diego, California?

Medicinal Marijuana Cultivation LawsOutlined in SB420 are state wide limits regarding cultivation, but these limits can differ county to county, and can be changed upon a physician’s recommendation that a patient needs more or less. In San Diego county it is best to follow the general, California state limit of 6 mature OR (not and) 12 immature plants per qualified patient. If you are a caregiver, you may cultivate 6 mature OR 12 immature plants per patient.

There is debate on the legality of SB420 and its ability to limit the number of plants a medical marijuana patient can grow. Prior to SB420, the laws were vague, and allowed medicinal cannabis patients to grow whatever amount they deemed necessary for their medical needs. To stay safe and legal, it is always a good idea to get a doctor’s exemption if you anticipate needing to cultivate more medical marijuana than is allowed in the state guidelines set forth by SB420.
