IS MEDCIAL CANNABIS LEGAL?

Medical cannabis is legal under state and local law in California, but it is illegal under federal law. Voters in California legalized the use, cultivation, and possession of cannabis for those with a doctor’s recommendation or approval when they adopted Proposition 215 in 1996. In 2003, the California State Assembly adopted Senate Bill 420 in order to implement and clarify Proposition 215 – effectively expanding its scope. Unfortunately, medical cannabis remains illegal under federal law, and as such, you should know that there can be serious legal consequences for breaking federal law.
