California Medical Marijuana Card: Common Questions (2026)
Your guide to the most common questions about the Grower’s license in California.
Is it legal to grow 99 plants in California?
Yes, it is legal to cultivate medical marijuana in California. However, patients holding grower’s licenses have access to a growing extended number of cannabis plants.
Is a grower’s license the same as a medical marijuana card?
No. A medical marijuana card identifies a patient, while a cultivation recommendation authorizes extended plant counts when medically appropriate.
How to grow 99 plants legally in California?
To legally grow up to 99 cannabis plants in California, you must qualify as a medical marijuana patient and obtain a valid physician-supported grower’s license (extended plant count recommendation).
How much does a 99-plant grower’s license cost in California?
At My MMJ Doctor, the California 99‑plant grower’s license is available for $199 per year. This includes your medical evaluation and physician‑signed cultivation recommendation when medically qualified.
Where can I get a grower's license in California?
If you are looking for a grower’s license, you can visit and apply on My MMJ Doctor. We will connect you with medical health professionals, who will evaluate you via video call. Our doctors will email your recommendation on the same day.
Is my California Medical Marijuana License valid in other states, too?
No, as every state has different laws, that is the reason why you cannot use your California grower’s license to cultivate medical marijuana outside of California.
Is there an official “99-plant license” issued by the state of California?
No. California does not issue a state “99-plant license” for personal patients. Instead, a licensed physician may provide an extended cannabis plant count recommendation when clinically appropriate. Commercial cultivation requires a license from the California Department of Cannabis Control.
How long is a California grower’s recommendation valid?
Most physician recommendations are valid for 12 months. Patients must renew annually to maintain legal protection for cultivation.
Do I have to register my grow operation with the state?
No state registration is required for personal medical cultivation supported by a physician's recommendation. However, commercial growers must register with the state regulatory authority.
Can I share my homegrown cannabis with other patients?
No. Personal medical cultivation is intended solely for your own medical use. Distribution without proper state licensing is illegal.
