The Freedom to Farm Act regulates the cultivation, possession, and use of marijuana for personal use by adults in Tennessee.

The Freedom to Farm Act establishes guidelines for adults to cultivate, possess, and use marijuana for personal use in Tennessee. It allows registered adults to grow up to 15 marijuana plants, with no more than 5 being mature, in a private, locked area of their residence. The act also permits the possession and use of marijuana trim, seeds, and drug paraphernalia for planting and cultivating marijuana. The Department of Agriculture is tasked with setting up a registration process, collecting fees, and distributing surplus funds to support farmers' markets.
