Can a newcomer grow their own in CO if they don't sell anything?

Well do they? I am moving there from Alaska and know I'll have to reside there 2 years before getting my "badge", but I'm not looking to sell weed there just yet. Can I legally grow 6 plants (and 6 for wifey and 6 for son?) for personal consumption?

apparently its legal in some towns and not others, based on local ordinances

Check with your local county,but shouldn't be an issue

Don't you need to be a Colorado resident ? I think once you get your DL you're good.

Can't grow for people under 21

stay dank

If your 21+ and have state id / dl then you can grow recreational. Get a red card as well and you are medical (much more respect from leo).

Badges are for working in a dispensary / opcl / mip

Check local laws at county and city levels m

I got that covered bro; I'm WAY past 21. ...but they still card me at Brown Jug; gotta love stupid laws. (not really)

You can grow for personal use anywhere in the state. As far as i know no city's have outlawed personal use or growing. I believe the way A-64 is worded they cant make personal use or personal growing illegal only the business end can be opted out of and made illegal. A bunch of city's have opted out of a-64 as far as businesses go. Meaning no commercial growing or sales.

As far as to how much you can grow each person is allowed 6 plants with no more then 3 in flower at a time. They must be in a secure location so you can't just go out in your back yard and grow unless you have a green house that can be locked. The thing that would suck in your case is each person would have to have their own secure grow room or green house. So your plants must be separate from your wife's and sons and so on. Not sure how it will go with separate tents. If a tent was locked would it be considered secure under A-64. I guess time will tell on that one.

Having said that I really don't think small personal growers have much to worry about. There is a ton of folks growing for the black market here and they are more worried about them then busting small personal growers. Hope this helps

Edit: Forgot to mention that if you got a red card ( medical MJ ) the amount of plants you can grow for personal use goes up to 12 plants. Red Card prices dropped this year costs 35 bucks to file the application now

some municipalities (Denver) limit total recreational plant count to 12 (6 veg, 6 flower) regardless of how many adults over 21 live in the residence. always check local laws.

Hold up,where are you getting the idea that co-inhabitants have to separate their grow spaces? That is not explicit in A64 or subsequent legislation as far as I know (please correct if wrong). Same locked space for all tenants seems a reasonable interpretation .

Let us also remember that violation of said code is a violation of city ordinance only, with very limited penalty mechanisms. Just saying

this is true in denver, anyway. each separate municipality will handle it different though - who knows how a less-friendly place like adams county will enforce limits. but denver officials have stated that it will be "complaint based" and in in most cases will be treated as a code violation rather than a criminal offense. theyll make you chop a few down and give you a fine. but, i still wouldnt want them coming to my door if i was egregiously over the limit, they can always just drop your address to the feds if they get a complaint and youre running 99 plants in your basement, ya know?


so you should still be cautious if youre a commercial producer especially if youre sending it out of state.

i find that its really easy to produce enough for myself while giving away a shitload to friends and staying within the limit for my wife and myself. dont be greedy.

Good info here, thanks everyone! I'm headed out to CO this coming week as a canna refugee. It sucks I have to pick up and leave my family and friends, but I've reached that point in my life where I need to live without fear. I've held a decent job for 7 years now and despite stability, I finally realized that I'll continue to be unhappy until these laws change. "Ain't nobody got time for dat" Luckily I've got some friends there already and they've provided a place to stay until I get back on my feet. Can't wait to start some of my collection. 6-12 plants... 3 flowering. I'm happy to abide by rules that make sense! ​
