Medical Marijuana in California

California adheres to strict regulations when it comes to its medical marijuana program, established in 1996. The state makes sure that cannabis businesses operate safely, stay out of the hands of minors under 21 years of age, and that all products are properly labeled and free of contaminants.

California enforces strict rules for manufacturers, particularly related to cannabis extraction manufacturers and the use of volatile solvents such as butane and propane, popular for making edibles and tinctures. California separates manufacturers into Level 1 and Level 2. Level 1 manufacturers use non-volatile solvents or no solvents at all, while Level 2 manufacturers use volatile solvents. Furthermore, while butane and propane are classified as volatile solvents, ethanol was also on this list until recently, when reclassified as a non-volatile solvent in 2017.

Cannabis can be consumed on private property but not in any public places like bars or restaurants and not on federal land or national parks. You cannot partake in areas where it is illegal to smoke tobacco or within 1,000 feet of a daycare center, youth center, or school. It is also illegal to take any cannabis or cannabis products across California state lines. When driving, cannabis must be in the trunk of the vehicle or in a sealed package.

The Department of Cannabis Control oversees California’s medical marijuana program, and California’s Department of Public Health (CDPH) Medical Marijuana Identification Card Program (MMICP) issues the medical marijuana identification cards and maintains the state’s registry of qualified patients and caregivers.

There is no set limit to the amount of marijuana that patients are allowed to possess; the limits should be consistent with the patient’s needs. Medical marijuana patients are allowed to cultivate up to 6 mature cannabis plants, 12 immature plants, or more with the recommendation of a physician.
