What kind of marijuana laws are already on the books in California?

In 1996, California voters passed Proposition 215, making it the first state to legalize the use of medical marijuana for qualified patients.

The next Subsequent legislation passed in 2003 which was structured to regulate medical marijuana usage

In 2010 legislation was passed making possession of less than 28.5 grams of pot reduced to a misdemeanor ticket.

In 2015, the state passed the Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MCRSA), clarifying laws pertaining to how and where medical marijuana businesses could operate in the state.

This ground breaking legislation set standards for issuing licenses to medical marijuana businesses to operate

With the passage of the AUMA prompted California to construct two separate regulations for the use of marijuana for medical (MCRSA) purposes and one for recreational (AUMA) use.

This is a complicated process and a challenge to implement rules specifying the licenses for legal marijuana dispensaries and the recreational use of marijuana in the state of California, who is looking at Colorado who has more successfully regulated the medical and recreational cannabis regulation resulting in a smooth transition.
