What does Prop 205 do?
-
It allows adults 21 years of age and older to possess up to one ounce of marijuana and consume marijuana in private.
-
It allows adults to grow up to six marijuana plants in an enclosed, locked space within their residences and possess the marijuana produced by those plants in the location where it was grown. (And you can keep what you harvest, even if it's more than an ounce.)
-
It enacts a 15% excise tax on retail marijuana sales, which will be used to fund public schools and health.
FAQs
-
Will this hurt the medical marijuana industry? What about my current dispensary?
Prop 205 will not affect medical marijuana dispensaries.
-
I heard smoke shops will be hurt by 205, is that true?
No, the initiative absolutely does not eliminate smoke shops or prevent them from selling paraphernalia. In fact, it REMOVES all criminal penalties associated with marijuana paraphernalia, so it creates protections for smoke shops that don't currently exist!
