What will this Proposition let me do?

I hear a lot of people expressing concerns and questions about what Proposition 19 has to say about growing your own marijuana. Can you grow it? Can you keep it? Can you consume it, transport it, sell it?

Can I grow my own?

Let's start with cultivation. Section 3 of Proposition 19 clearly states that, for anyone over 21, it shall be "lawful and shall not be a public offense" to
Cultivate, on private property by the owner, lawful occupant, or other lawful resident or guest of the private property owner or lawful occupant, cannabis plants for personal consumption only, in an area of not more than twenty-five square feet per private residence or, in the absence of any residence, the parcel. Cultivation on leased or rented property may be subject to approval from the owner of the property. Provided that, nothing in this section shall permit unlawful or unlicensed cultivation of cannabis on any public lands (Section 11300(a)(ii)).

In plain English: anyone over 21 can grow as much as they want in a 25-square-foot area for personal consumption, on your own private property, rented or owned, provided, if rented, it's okay with your landlord.
