Introduction
Yes. Marijuana is legal for both medical and 
recreational use in California. Voters approved 
recreational cannabis was in 2016 and medical 
cannabis in 1996. Recreational cannabis became 
legal in California in 2016. Under this law, adults 
over 21 years of age can use and possess 
cannabis for recreational purposes. They can also 
give cannabis to other adults (as long as there is 
no payment in exchange). While consuming 
cannabis is legal in California, it is unlawful for 
any person to engage in the use of marijuana 
items in a public place.

Medical cannabis has been legal in 
California since 1996, when voters 
approved the Compassionate Use Act, 
also known as Prop 215. This law allowed 
for the medical use of marijuana when 
recommended by a medical doctor. In 
2003, Senate Bill 420 expanded 
protections by creating a state ID card 
program for medical cannabis patients, 
and allowing non-profit cannabis 
collectives to form.
