States that are legal for recreational purposes

Hey everyone! I have a question regarding growing in states where it's recreationally legal, so if anyone lives in one of these states I would love your input!

Is it legal to grow your own in that state still? And what are the conditions? My state is going to have it on the ballot this year, and I would hate for there to be a stipulation that you can only grow on a commercial level. I don't think that's how it works, but I would love to know from someone who is living in a state where it already is legal on the recreational level.

It probably won't stop me and I know that that particular law could also vary from state to state, but I was just curious. Thanks in advance!
 
Massachusetts here - they legalized recreational sales and personal growing here at the same time (with a delay on the rec sales, which starts July 1). I'm pretty sure there aren't any legal states where you can't grow your own; only the rules vary (although Nevada is a bummer — you can't grow if you live within, I think, 25 miles of a dispensary!). Canada, on the other hand, I believe is not allowing growing at all, which seems just stupid to me.
 
Do you need a medical card to grow it still, or do you just get something like a permit to grow?

Thanks for the response, it seems like a silly question, but I have been wondering about it.
 
Washington is rec legal but still illeagal to grow without a medical card. You can only buy seeds or clones if you have a medical card.
 
Canada, on the other hand, I believe is not allowing growing at all, which seems just stupid to me.

Not 100% true ;) If you have an acmpr your legally allowed to grow 3x 1g perscription, ie: 3g/day script is 15 plants, it must be approved through health canada. As for everyone growing for recreational is a no go until bill c-45 passes... When it does its 4x plants per household are allowed.
 
I do know live there but I know you can in Colorado as I have a friend there who does and I know another friend from Canada who doesn’t live there but funds a grow there because if the Strict guidelines there with there new medical program.
 
I live in California and we are allowed a total of 6 plants as long as there out of site and locked away outdoor not to sure I heard the city decides if to ban it or not thats why gonna keep my outdoor stealthy
 
In Mass? Don't need anything. There are rules (can't be visible from a public location, limit on # of plants—stuff like that) but you don't need to register your grow or have a med card or anything.
 
The passage of HB 75 changes that, making it explicit that households can have up to 12 plants, six of which may be flowering. Two adults over the age of 21 would have to be living in the home.In their homes, Alaskans can possess as much marijuana as those plants produce. In public, people can possess up to an ounce legally.

Oregon here. Rec is legally to grow. Can have 4 mature and 4 immature plants. A mature plant is defined as being taller than 12” and/or more than 12” in diameter. Can possess 8 oz I think at home and gave up to an ounce on you.
 
I believe MA is 5 (or 6, not completely sure) plants per adult in the household (so theoretically we could have up to 12 but obviously don't have the space). The jury's still out on whether growing is allowed in rental properties; the majority of objections seem to think that any grow uses massive amounts of electricity, creates mold and fire hazards, etc.

It's still 100% illegal if you're in public housing. No smoking in public (is not and probably never will be enforced).
 
Hey all, just joined up here! In Maine we're allowed, (per person), to have 6 flowering plants, 12 mature, and unlimited seedlings under the fairly new recreational law, it was pretty much the same thing under the med law we had before that.
 
Aloner, are you a night shifter or an early bird? I get out of work at 4am, wind down until 6 and then go to bed. I've noticed you have posted at this hour before so I had to ask lol
 
Early bird. GWE is one of my first stops when I get up. I've done the overnight shift thing at a previous job, didn't love it lol
