INFORMATIONMarijuana Legal Regulations

• California leads the charge in establishing cannabis commerce across state lines.

• California has made groundbreaking moves with Senate Bill 1326, laying the groundwork for interstate cannabis commerce. This law allows the state to establish agreements with other cannabis-legal states, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the industry.
• While federal law still prohibits interstate shipping, California’s progressive stance signals a near future where cannabis products will move freely between participating states.
• What You Need to Know: The industry’s biggest players are already setting up infrastructure to ensure seamless cross-state cannabis delivery once these agreements take effect. This is the future, and California is ready to lead.

• Enjoy cannabis responsibly and legally in California.

• California law permits cannabis use in private spaces and designated outdoor areas, but public smoking remains restricted near schools, parks, and playgrounds. In San Diego, open-air consumption is generally accepted in areas like balconies, private patios, and driveways.
• Hotels in downtown San Diego often allow consumption on outdoor balconies, but it’s best to confirm with management to avoid misunderstandings.
• Pro Tip: Be discreet when consuming in public spaces to respect others and avoid potential fines. San Diego’s cannabis culture is welcoming, but staying mindful is key to keeping it that way.

Navigate cannabis use safely at work and on the road.

• Workplace Protections: California is taking steps to protect employees. Starting in 2024, off-duty cannabis use cannot be used against you in most jobs. However, exceptions apply for federal jobs and safety-sensitive roles. This means more freedom for responsible users, but always check your employer’s policies.
• Driving with Cannabis: Keep cannabis stored in a sealed container and place it in the trunk while driving. Consumption in vehicles is prohibited—whether you’re the driver or a passenger. Drive safely, stay compliant, and keep your cannabis secure.
• What You Need to Know: Violating these rules can lead to penalties, so always transport your products responsibly.
