• Cannabis home cultivation among people who consume cannabis for medical and nonmedical reasons rose slightly after legalization, from about six per cent in 2018 to nine per cent in 2020.
• Most people who cultivate cannabis grow within the nonmedical four-plant limit set out in the Cannabis Act.
• Home cultivation was less common in Manitoba and Quebec, the two provinces where cultivation is prohibited.
• There is an association between cannabis home cultivation and workplace use.
• More research is needed to understand the implications.
