California’s High Times
Although California was the first state to enact a statewide ban on smoking, it also holds the more progressive laws on cannabis use.
Proposition 64 allows Californians who are 21 and older to possess, transport, buy and use up to an ounce of cannabis for recreational purposes and allow individuals to grow as many as six plants. As well, smoking is permitted in private homes or at businesses licensed for on-site marijuana consumption. The measure would also allow retail sales of marijuana and impose a 15% tax.
