Even with a current qualifying physician’s recommendation, there are limits on where you can use medicinal cannabis:
- You cannot use, smoke, eat, or vape cannabis in public places or in places where tobacco is prohibited.
- You cannot use cannabis while riding in, or driving a vehicle or boat.
- Cannabis activity is not allowed within 1,000-feet of a school, daycare center, or youth center while children are present.
- Even though it is legal in California, employers have the right to prohibit the use of cannabis by their employees and decline an individual for a job. Know your workspace cannabis policies.
- Property owners may ban the use and possession of cannabis on their privately-owned properties. Private property owners determine their own policies.
- Even though Cannabis is legal under California Law, you cannot consume or possess cannabis on federal lands like National Parks, even if the park is in California. The cultivation, possession, sale, and use of cannabis in California may remain unlawful under Federal Law and may be subject to prosecution.
