New 2018 California laws include the following:
Proposition 64, which was enacted by the voters in the general election in November 2016, became effective in January 2018. This proposition changes the state laws concerning marijuana use in California but it does not affect the federal laws for marijuana. The federal administration Department of Justice at the time the proposition was passed had a policy not to prosecute individuals who possess or use marijuana in states where the use was legal under state law. The new federal administration Department of Justice has explicitly taken the opposite position and announced its intentions to aggressively prosecute individuals in states where marijuana is legal.
