Now that the marijuana laws have changed in California, how much marijuana is considered legal to carry?
Yes, we are all stoked now that marijuana is legalized for sale and use without a medical recommendation!
Rules have changed but the laws are still strict when it comes to carrying and consuming marijuana. Although it is legal to buy, it is still considered a federal crime to carry marijuana in your car. The legal way to travel with your medical or recreational marijuana is by simply leaving in the back of your trunk. Just like alcohol, if you are caught driving with it, it is considered as an open container, and at that point, police are able to search and seize your marijuana. Since the very beginning when medical marijuana was legalized in the 90s this rule has never changed: Never open the bag of marijuana merchandise in your car until you have gotten to your destination (your home). By law, medicinal marijuana stores have always closed the bag with a staple just to make sure there is no tampering while you are driving. Same rules will apply to recreational marijuana in California.
