So you have your medical cannabis prescription and you're ready to grow your own supply—now what? For many Canadians, cultivating legally approved marijuana plants at home is an empowering step toward better symptom management and peace of mind. But growing your medicine properly takes planning, patience, and a bit of education.

Whether you're in Toronto or anywhere across Canada, understanding how to grow safely and legally is key. At GrowLegally, we help patients nationwide—starting with a consultation at our Medical Cannabis Clinic in Toronto, where we guide you through every stage of Medical Cannabis use, from prescription to production licence.

Once you've received your ACMPR licence from Health Canada, your plant limit is based on your daily prescribed grams. Even a 5-gram prescription may allow 25 indoor or 10 outdoor plants, with higher prescriptions allowing even more. Health Canada recommends choosing a secure grow space, ensuring adequate air flow and filtration, keeping your environment clean and free of contaminants, and avoiding the use of unapproved pesticides. Proper drying, storage, and labelling of your cannabis are also important for safety and compliance.

For indoor growing, use full-spectrum lights, controlled temperature and humidity, and reliable odour control like carbon filters. Many patients separate vegging and flowering stages with tents or divided rooms for better efficiency. Outdoor growing requires an enclosed, non-visible area, ideally protected from pests, weather, and unauthorized access.

Strain selection should be based on your needs—some strains are favoured for chronic pain, others for anxiety or sleep. Take time to choose genetics that align with your goals.

At GrowLegally, we offer this service at no cost when registering with a licensed producer. If you need help with your licence, setup, or planning your grow, our team is here to support you.
