Cannabis arrests in Michigan dropped by 98% since legalization, but now lawmakers are trying to undo that progress.

The right to cultivate cannabis in your own home is one of the most fundamental pillars of cannabis reform.

Most medical marijuana programs in the nation allow edibles with proper labeling and dosage limits. Meanwhile, over half of the programs allow home cultivation.

Home cultivation promotes personal freedom and fairness. Adults can brew beer at home. They should not face criminal penalties for growing a limited number of cannabis plants.

Washington legalized cannabis over a decade ago — but adults are still prohibited from growing it at home. SB 6204 would finally fix that injustice.

Washington is one of just four adult-use states that still criminalizes home grow. And as one of the two original states (along with Colorado) to legalize possession and adult-use sales, the ongoing criminalization of home grow in the state is all but incomprehensible.

Good news! As you may recall, as part of Connecticut’s legalization law, starting tomorrow, Friday, October 1, medical cannabis patients who are 18 or older will be allowed to grow cannabis at home!

Yesterday, the New Hampshire Senate ignored the needs of patients, voting 15-9 to “table” the medical cannabis home cultivation bill. This means HB 350 will not be considered unless the Senate votes to remove it from the table (which is extremely unlikely). As a result, home cultivation will remain a felony in New Hampshire, with no exception for registered patients and caregivers.

The New Hampshire House has been voting to pass medical cannabis home cultivation bills since 2009, but unfortunately, these bills have failed to become law. In 2019, the Senate joined the House in passing a home grow bill, but it was vetoed by Gov. Chris Sununu, and the veto override effort fell three votes short in the Senate. As a result, home cultivation remains a felony in New Hampshire, and there is no exception for registered patients and caregivers. But lawmakers are trying again in 2021.

Home cultivation of cannabis is a felony in New Hampshire, and there is no exception for registered patients and caregivers. Today, the House of Representatives voted to change that by passing HB 350, a bill that would legalize limited home cultivation for registered patients and caregivers (up to three mature plants, three immature plants, and 12 seedlings per patient).
