Home Grow Laws in Nebraska
Home cultivation of cannabis is prohibited under state law.
Plant Limits
Overview
Nebraska has not legalized cannabis for recreational or medical use, making all home cultivation illegal. The state has some of the more conservative cannabis laws in the country, and multiple attempts to place medical marijuana on the ballot have faced legal and political challenges.
Possession of small amounts of cannabis is treated as a civil infraction on the first offense, but cultivation of any amount is a more serious criminal matter. There is no home grow allowance of any kind, and residents caught growing plants face significant legal consequences regardless of the intended use.
