What offenses does Prop. 64 reduce or eliminate?

Prop. 64 reduces or eliminates certain offenses based on the amount of marijuana, the person’s age, and the person’s prior offenses. Whether Prop. 64 will help you depends on all these factors. Below is a general summary, and you can find a detailed chart in APPENDIX U on PG. 1045.

Prop. 64 changed the criminal penalties for the following four criminal offenses:

    Possession of marijuana or concentrated marijuana (Cal. Health & Safety § 11357)
    Cultivation of marijuana (Cal. Health & Safety Code § 11358)
    Possession with intent to sell marijuana (Cal. Health & Safety Code § 11359)
    Sales or transport of marijuana (Cal. Health & Safety Code § 11360)

The new penalty (either a misdemeanor, infraction, or dismissal) depends on the specific offense. For example, some offenses became outright legal (such as possession of up to 28.5 grams of marijuana or up to 8 grams of concentrated marijuana) and some offenses were reduced to misdemeanors (such as sales of marijuana).
