Proposition 64 made the recreational use of marijuana legal in California starting January 1, 2018. The legislation changed the procedural posture of our criminal jurisprudence that had long treated Marijuana or Cannabis as serious drug with serious consequences for violators. Some of the key takeaways from the proposition is that now adults can possess up to (1) ounce of dried marijuana or (8) grams of concentrated cannabis. They may also grow up to six (6) plants for their personal use, subject to certain restrictions.
