MSK Client Alert
December 6, 2016
On November 8, 2016, California voters approved the Adult Use of Marijuana Act (“AUMA”) by approving Proposition 64. AUMA largely legalizes the recreational, non-medical use of marijuana in California, as well as the sale of marijuana to recreational users.
What does AUMA permit?
As of November 9th it is legal for any adult (21 years or older) to:
- Possess, transport, obtain, or give away to other adults 21 or older no more than one ounce of marijuana or 4 grams of concentrated cannabis.
- Cultivate up to six marijuana plants per residence and possess the marijuana produced from those plants.
How does AUMA impact medical marijuana?...
