Growing your own medical marijuana can be a safe and rewarding experience when done with the right guidance and proper care. Many patients in Toronto and across Canada turn to home cultivation to access affordable, consistent, and personalized cannabis treatment. At our Medical Cannabis Clinic in Toronto, we support patients through every step of the process—from prescription to safe home cultivation—so you can grow with confidence.

Medical Cannabis use is legal across Canada for patients with a valid prescription under Health Canada’s ACMPR regulations. Once approved, you’ll be authorized to grow a set number of plants based on your prescribed dosage. Safety is essential—not just in how cannabis is consumed, but also in how it’s grown, stored, and handled at home.

The first safety rule is following your plant limits. Health Canada takes compliance seriously, and exceeding your limit can result in legal consequences. GrowLegally ensures your prescription and grow licence are calculated correctly and submitted properly so your grow stays compliant.

Choosing a safe location for your plants is next. Whether indoors or outdoors, the site must be secure, out of reach of children, and locked to prevent unauthorized access. Indoor grows require proper ventilation, clean electrical setups, and stable temperatures to prevent mold, pests, or fire hazards. Using fire-safe lighting systems and monitoring humidity is key to keeping your home—and your medicine—safe.

Odour control is also important. While cannabis plants naturally produce strong aromas, charcoal filters and sealed grow tents can help reduce odour, especially in shared buildings like condos or apartments. If you live in multi-unit housing, you may also need written approval from the property owner or condo board. We’ll help walk you through these steps.

Always store dried cannabis in a locked container, away from heat and sunlight. Health Canada requires secure, labelled storage that limits access and protects your supply. If someone else is growing for you, they must meet the same safety standards.

While there’s a small fee to apply for a grow licence, at GrowLegally we offer this service at no cost when registering with a licensed producer. For many patients, the long-term benefits—financial, physical, and emotional—make home growing worth it.
