First the facts, 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 an adult age 21 and older you may now possess up to one (1)
ounce of dried marijuana or eight (8) grams of concentrated cannabis.
Now the gray areas –
1. It is still a
crime for individuals to sell marijuana in The Big Bear State.
2. You need a state
AND local license to distribute it.
3. Marijuana is still
illegal on a national basis.
4. You can never
distribute it to a minor.
5. And…don’t even
think about driving while you are high.
Having a lawyer just a phone call away who has dealt with
