Is It Legal To Grow Hemp In California? As of November 2016, it is legal to grow hemp in California now finally after all these years of fighting to make it legal for personal use. Here is a document explaining the law to you.
California marijuana laws changed drastically with the decriminalization of possession (under 28 grams) and legalization of medical marijuana under the Compassionate Use Act (Proposition 215) in 1996. The state’s marijuana laws were drastically relaxed once again in 2016 after voters approved the Adult Use of Marijuana Act, which was on the ballot as Proposition 64. Under the new law, adults 21 and over may purchase, possess, and consume up to 1 oz. of marijuana in their private residence or in an establishment licensed for marijuana consumption. Adults also will be allowed to grow up to six marijuana plants and keep the herb that is produced, as long as it is done in a secure space not visible to the public.
While most criminal sanctions for marijuana were lifted immediately after the general election, the regulation of businesses, production facilities, and marijuana consumption establishments will be phased in over time. Licenses are scheduled to be granted in January 2018.
I hope this is as helpful to you as it is for me
