Proposition 64 (Adult Use of Marijuana Act)
Proposition 64, also known as the Adult Use of Marijuana Act, was passed in California to legalize recreational marijuana for adults 21 and older. It allows adults to possess, use, and grow limited amounts of cannabis legally. The law regulates licensing and sales to ensure safety and prevent underage access. It also establishes tax frameworks to fund public health, education, and community programs. Proposition 64 aims to reduce criminal penalties related to marijuana, promote responsible use, and generate revenue for the state while maintaining controls similar to those for alcohol.
