California Proposition 64 prohibits cannabis smoking, vaping, or consumption in any public place, including Stockton sidewalks, parks, and vehicles, even though personal possession of one ounce is legal for adults 21 and over.
California Health and Safety Code section 11362.3 prohibits smoking, vaping, or ingesting cannabis in any public place, on school grounds, in vehicles on public roads, or anywhere tobacco smoking is banned. Adults 21 and older may possess up to one ounce of flower or eight grams of concentrate, but consumption must occur on private property with permission. Stockton enforces these state rules and prohibits onsite consumption at unlicensed cannabis events. Driving under the influence of cannabis is a separate offense under Vehicle Code section 23152, regardless of where consumption occurred.
Smoking, vaping, or eating cannabis in public, on school grounds, or in a vehicle triggers infraction fines, doubled penalties near schools, and possible misdemeanor charges if combined with other offenses.
