AI Summary
This bill, relating to the home cultivation of cannabis, amends existing laws to allow individuals aged 21 and older to grow up to six cannabis plants and possess the resulting cannabis and cannabis products on their property, with a maximum of 15 plants allowed per housing unit regardless of the number of residents, provided these plants are not readily smelled or visible from public areas or neighboring properties. It also clarifies that producing or possessing more than six but fewer than 16 plants is a civil infraction, while possessing 16 or more plants is a felony, and allows law enforcement to seize and destroy excess plants. The bill also makes minor adjustments to penalties and definitions related to controlled substances and cannabis, and includes provisions that do not supersede local bans on cannabis activities and offer liability protections for state and local government entities acting in good faith.
