Yes, it is Legal to Smoke Weed in California.

California legalized recreational marijuana use for adults 21 and older following the passage of Proposition 64 in 2016. Here’s what that means:

  • Possession: You can carry up to one ounce of dried cannabis and up to eight grams of cannabis concentrates (like edibles).
  • Where you can smoke: You can only smoke in private residences or licensed establishments. Public consumption is still illegal.
  • Driving: It is illegal to drive under the influence of cannabis.
  • Purchase: You may buy cannabis products from licensed dispensaries.
  • Age: You must be 21 or older to legally purchase or consume cannabis in California.
