California Cannabis Regulations

Cannabis Regulations

Cannabis is legal in California for both medical and recreational use. Proposition 64, passed in 2016, allows adults 21 and older to legally possess up to 28.5 grams of cannabis flower and 8 grams of concentrate. Home cultivation of up to 6 plants is also permitted.

However, public consumption remains prohibited, and it is illegal to drive under the influence of cannabis. The Department of Cannabis Control (DCC) oversees all regulation and enforcement. This section breaks down medical vs. recreational use, public safety laws, and the latest updates in California cannabis regulations.
