What you need to know if you plan to buy legal marijuana in California as of 2018

Adults over 21 are preparing for something they could never have done in California before: legally buy marijuana for recreational use.

But with the new rules coming into force on January 1, the police tell the research team of our sister network NBC 7 that the law has already brought confusion about what is allowed and what is illegal.

Marijuana will be legal in California, but not on the border

The only stores that can sell marijuana to non-medical patients are companies with state and local licenses. Currently, San Diego is the only city in San Diego County that allows stores previously allowed to obtain state licenses.

Consumers can only own up to an ounce of cannabis or up to eight grams of a cannabis concentrate (wax in vape cartridges, fragments, oil, etc.)

Driving with marijuana is very similar to driving with alcohol. The products must remain sealed and out of reach of the driver at all times. If you are stopped and agents discover unsealed products outside the trunk of your car, you could be cited or arrested.

Marijuana risks and your immigration status

The use of marijuana in a car is strictly prohibited, both for drivers and passengers. Police said that if a driver is arrested and the use of marijuana is suspected, the drug recognition experts will be called during a traffic stop to determine if you are under the influence.

According to state law , it is illegal to transport marijuana products out of state.

The notes that left their mark in 2017 on Telemundo 20

There is no test to measure the blood level for marijuana in your system, but the police said they can make DUI arrests based on the evidence and the testimony of the officer and the expert.

The biggest mistake the police say Californians have had since Proposition 64 was approved is to smoke or use marijuana products in a public place, which is still illegal. Marijuana can only be consumed on private property and offenders may be cited or arrested and could face charges or a fine.

Rituals around the world to receive the new year

Growing your own marijuana is legal, but it has its restrictions. Adults without the medicalrecommendation of a doctor can only grow six plants per residence, not per individual. Plants can not be grown in backyards unless they are in a closed structure out of public view.
