Marijuana use is now legal in Beverly Hills, Ca…
Ok let me be more specific Marijuana use is now legal in California. Voters in California along with Nevada and Massachusetts passed Prop 64 and made the recreational use of marijuana legal. These three states join Washington, Colorado, Oregon and Alaska in legalizing recreational use.
This post is not about approval or should I say condoning it or disapproving it. The Voters have spoken it is the Law.
What does this mean in California? It means you can legally use marijuana at home, if you are an adult at least of 21 years of age. Up to one ounce of marijuana buds or eight grams of cannabis concentrates can be possessed at any given time.
In addition, most Californians can now grow up to six plants per home for personal use as lnog as they keep the plants for themselves. Beverly Hills residents can cultivate up to six plants indoors, because there is virtually no back yard available and in addition the City of Beverly Hills has their own regulations prohibiting the growing of marijuana outdoors anywhere in the City.
Now on top, there is a petition going on to have criminal record or jail time reversed for those convicted of a crime for marijuana usage. Keep in mind this is a long and ongoing process, do not expect it to happen soon.
Lastly you can carry, give away or accept up to eight grams of cannabis.
Wow the Police should have calibrated scales with them? Just thinking out loud… I suspect there will be easier ways to stop the blatant violators. In Beverly Hills, you cannot smoke cigarettes and electronic cigarettes in public places. Now this will also apply to Marijuana consumption. Hence the answer is easy there will be violators and that is how the police will stop them.
Just as alcohol, marijuana cannot be used in a vehicle or before driving a vehicle. Now I anticipate violators will be blatantly driving and smoking… that in turn will get them stopped and charged with having an open container of marijuana in the car.
Well these are the easy thing to look for. Now what will the Housing Market’s effects be? We need to reach out to the states that have this legal already. My first reaction is there will be marijuana contamination, allergies as well as disclosure in the sales transaction.
I can just see it: seller disclosure, seller has been growing marijuana for the past 20 years and smoking it for recreational use as well. Buyer needs to do their own investigation if the fumes are harmful to the house as well as to the buyer. Seller will not re mediate smell embedded in the house due to smoking marijuana for the past 20 yearsJ))
