The law has gone into effect as of Januarly 1st and will allow all residents 21 and over to harvest as well as cultivate up to the maximum 6 plants per household, or residence, as long as they are of legal age.

The laws can be and often are confusing and can have very different penalties for different types of individuals. It is legal for someone that is over the age of 21 to have no more than the 28.5 gram limit of cannabis to be legal and lawfully possess, when somebody between the age of 18 as well as 21 is in possession and ownership of no more than the 28.5 gram limit of cannabis could be charged and arrested for an infraction.
