Cannabis Home Grow

As of May 1, 2025, people 19 and older can grow cannabis in their home in Manitoba. The Cannabis Regulation outlines this new cannabis law in detail. Below are the key things to know if you want to grow cannabis at home.

• A person 19 or older may grow up to four plants at home.
• One household can only have a maximum of four plants, even if two or more people over 19 live there.
• A person cannot grow cannabis plants in multiple residences.
• Cannabis must be grown indoors in a room, container, or enclosure that’s not accessible to people under 19.
• Any harvested home-grown cannabis can be kept unpackaged and unlabeled in a person's home.
• A person can carry a maximum of 30 grams of their home-grown cannabis in public, unpackaged and unlabeled.
• A person cannot possess more than the equivalent 30 grams of dried cannabis, which could include their home-grown cannabis, in public. 

All starter materials (seeds or plants) must be bought from a licensed Manitoba store. A full list of licensed stores can be found here.

It’s important to note other laws may apply (e.g., The Landlord and Tenant Act, The Condominium Act). If you rent your home, your property manager may have rules about growing cannabis in your unit. If you live in a condominium, there may be rules in place that restrict home grow. Ensure you know and follow the rules specific to your residence about cannabis use and home grow.

Home Grow Complaints

The Manitoba government and the federal government share the responsibility of regulating non-medical cannabis in Canada. Contact Health Canada about issues with cannabis bought from a licensed retailer (e.g. quality issue with seeds or plants). Contact law enforcement for issues about illegal home grow practices (e.g., too many plants in one residence, selling home-grown cannabis). For complaints about home grow in an apartment, condo or rental property, contact the appropriate landlord, property management company, or condominium board.
