Legal Status of Marijuana in California

In California, both medical and recreational marijuana are legal. Adults aged 21 years and older can legally possess, privately use, and give away up to one ounce (28.5 grams) of marijuana, and cultivate no more than six marijuana plants at home. The sale and taxation of recreational marijuana are regulated by the state.

Medical marijuana has been legal since 1996 for patients of all ages with a physician's recommendation under the Compassionate Use Act. This includes minors, although they need parental consent and cannot purchase marijuana themselves.

Despite being legal at the state level, marijuana remains illegal under U.S. federal law. Additionally, local governments in California have the authority to regulate or ban various marijuana-related activities within their jurisdictions, so the availability of cannabis products can vary by locality.

Please note, for the most accurate and up-to-date information, consulting the official state websites or legal professionals is recommended.
