Description

On Nov. 6, 1996, PROPOSITION 215 (also known as the California Compassionate Use Act), was enacted by voters and took effect as California Health & Safety Code 11362.5. The law makes it legal for patients and their designated primary caregivers to possess and cultivate marijuana for their personal medical use, given the recommendation or approval of a California-licensed physician. Our Standard Operating Procedures: California - Cultivation cover all regulations necessary to run a compliant operation.

California allows Adult Use by persons 21 years of age or older. The daily purchase limit is as follows:

  • 28.5 grams of non-concentrated cannabis.

  • The limits provided shall not be combined to allow a customer to purchase cannabis goods in excess of any of the limits provided.
  • A licensed retailer shall be responsible for determining that the amount of cannabis concentrates found in manufactured cannabis products sold to customers comply with the requirements.

California allows Medical Use by persons 18 years of age or older with a valid physician’s referral. The purchase limit is as follows:

  • If a medicinal cannabis patient’s valid physician’s recommendation contains a different amount than the limits listed for Adult Use, the medicinal cannabis patient may purchase an amount of medicinal cannabis consistent with the patient’s needs as recommended by a physician and documented in the physician’s recommendation.
