It is what many LA residents are already doing
anyway! Either in their back gardens or even in flower vases, on corridors and
walkways in their homes, many LA residents are already growing and consuming
marijuana mostly in the privacy of their homes. That has now been legalized
somewhat with the passage of Proposition 64. By that act, Californian gardeners
can now grow marijuana with their marigolds and other flowers or home beautification plants. Now in LA, individuals 21 and older are allowed to grow
up to six plants, as long as the plants are not accessible to the public and as
long as their municipalities haven’t restricted cultivation.
According to Los Angeles Police Department, Rampart
Division Officer Joel Certa, in the city of Los Angeles, the law is enforced as
written. What that means is, home gardeners over 21 are OK to plant six or
fewer marijuana plants in a secluded part of their yard. He cautions that other
jurisdictions may have different rules, so, he advises everyone to check with
their local law enforcement agency if they want to stay on the safe side of the
law.
