The passage of Public Law 20-66, the “Taulamwaar Sensible CNMI Cannabis Act of 2018”, as amended by Public Law 21-5, allowed for the personal and medicinal use of marijuana in the CNMI. The Act created the CNMI Cannabis Commission (Commission) to establish a Homegrown marijuana registry for persons who are 21 years of age or older or medical marijuana patients that are authorized to produce, process, keep or store homegrown marijuana at their household or cultivation site.
Implementation of the Homegrown Marijuana Registry (non-commercial). Individuals who are 21 years of age or older are mandated by Commonwealth law to register for a Homegrown Marijuana Registry Card in order to produce, process, keep or store homegrown marijuana at a household or cultivation site. The Commission has created the application and has begun to issue out Homegrown Marijuana Registry cards to individuals who have met the requirements.
The Marijuana Registry is a record maintained by the CNMI Cannabis Commission of the names and addresses of persons who are 21 years of age or older, or medical marijuana patients authorized to produce, process, keep, or store homegrown marijuana at a household or a cultivation site for noncommercial purposes.
