The ordinance bans all forms of commercial cannabis activity, which also includes cannabis that is grown for recreational use, even if it becomes legal as a result of the November elections. Fortunately, there is an exemption to the rule. State licensed health care and residential care facilities, qualified medical cannabis patients and primary caregivers who have five or less patients, are allowed to grow up to 12 cannabis plants per patient indoors, up to a total of 24 plants. The ordinance also requires strict regulations for growing cannabis plants, including that they be stored in secure and locked areas where they cannot be reached by minors or seen from outside the yard or area they’re being grown.
