Visiting a dispensary in California

California was the first US state to legalize medical cannabis in 1996 and passed Proposition 64 legalizing recreational use in 2016. The Department of Cannabis Control (DCC) regulates all commercial cannabis activity in the state.

Adults 21+ may purchase up to 28.5 grams (1 ounce) of cannabis flower and 8 grams of concentrate at a licensed retailer. Cannabis must be purchased from a licensed retailer — not from unlicensed delivery services or storefronts.
