Adult Use of Marijuana Act

Proposition 64, also known as the Adult Use of Marijuana Act, legalized the recreational use of marijuana for adults 21 years old and over, imposed a 15 percent excise tax on marijuana sales and established a regulatory framework for the sale of marijuana.

Proposition 64 contains a number of limitations, including where an adult may smoke or ingest marijuana. The locations where marijuana use is prohibited include public places, places where smoking or vaping is prohibited, as well as workplaces that maintain a drug-and alcohol-free environment.
