Is It LEGAL to Grow Weed in VA? Yes
In Virginia, “Home Cultivation” became legal on July 1, 2021. Adults 21 and over may now grow up to four marijuana plants per household (not per person), for personal use. Plants can be grown only at your main place of residence.
Someone who grows plants must:
- ensure that no plant is visible from a public way;
- take precautions to prevent unauthorized access by persons younger than 21 years of age; and
- attach to each plant a legible tag that includes the person’s name, driver’s license or ID number, and a notation that the marijuana plant is being grown for personal use as authorized by law.
It remains illegal to grow more than four plants, to sell or distribute marijuana grown at home, or to manufacture marijuana concentrate from home-cultivated marijuana. Individuals who chose to do so are subject to criminal penalties.
