Is that how many joints you’ve smoked legally since the law changed in California?  No, this is a tutorial on how marijuana laws have evolved this year and where they are now.  Here is a fact.  Recreational use of marijuana became legal in California on January 1, 2018. The legalization is the result of voter passage of Proposition 64 in November 2016.

If you are over 21 as you read this, you are allowed to possess up to one ounce of dried marijuana or eight grams of concentrated cannabis.  Now, here is what you NEED to know!   Adults who exceed these amounts can be charged with a misdemeanor and punished by up to 6 months in county jail and/or a fine of up to $500.

So, it is NOT a free ride by any means.  You can still do jail time for just possessing weed.  You may have lost track of that.  If you or a loved one is facing a fine or jail time for marijuana consumption in California, then call San Jose Criminal Attorney William Chestnut.  Sit down with Bill at his office and consider your options.  That number is (408) 298-6990.
