A recent survey conducted by an online real estate brokerage
found that nearly half of all respondents would reconsider
purchasing a property if they knew marijuana – even a legal
amount – had been grown inside the home.1
Nevertheless, the Cannabis Act and Cannabis Control and
Licensing Act now permit British Columbians to grow up to four
cannabis plants in their home, with certain
restrictions.2
As there is no current limit to the size of home-grown cannabis
plants, under the right conditions, four plants could yield up to
five kilograms (or 11 pounds) of cannabis each year in their
homes.3
While some are eager to flex their "green thumbs,"
others are concerned that this level of production could have
negative impacts on health and safety, as well as on the buying,
selling, and maintenance of real estate.
