Medical cannabis is legal for CA patients under MAUCRSA. Contra Costa County Title 88 restricts commercial dispensaries in unincorporated areas; personal medical cultivation allowed (6 mature plants indoors).
California's Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MAUCRSA, BPC Sections 26000 et seq.) governs medical cannabis. Patients with a physician's recommendation or County-issued Medical Marijuana Identification Card (MMIC) may possess and cultivate cannabis for personal medical use. Contra Costa County Code Title 88 restricts commercial cannabis activities in unincorporated areas: Chapter 88-28 bans most commercial retail dispensaries, while allowing a limited number of cultivation, manufacturing, distribution, and testing permits in agricultural and industrial zones subject to Board of Supervisors approval. Personal medical cultivation is allowed indoors, limited to six mature plants per residence. Outdoor cultivation is generally prohibited under Chapter 84-66 unless specific permits are obtained. State-licensed delivery services may deliver to County addresses regardless of the local dispensary ban, per state law and court rulings. Patient confidentiality under HIPAA and the CUA applies.
