Pursuant to the provisions of Proposition 64 and the MAUCRSA, the following recreational cannabis laws are in operation in the City of Redondo Beach:
Redondo Beach patients with qualifying debilitating conditions approved to be treated with medical cannabis under Proposition 215, or the MAUCRSA can use cannabis for medical purposes. California makes no distinction regarding age for persons looking to use cannabis to treat approved medical conditions. In Redondo Beach, persons under 18 who have qualifying conditions can purchase medical cannabis by designating primary caregivers to obtain medical cannabis for them.
Whether a minor or an adult, a qualifying patient must first register with the state by obtaining a valid recommendation for medical marijuana use from a California-licensed healthcare practitioner before possessing medical cannabis.
Medical cannabis possession limits exceed recreational cannabis possession limits under state law. Under the MAUCRSA, Redondo Beach patients registered with the state can possess as much as 8 ounces of concentrated cannabis. They can also grow more cannabis plants with the MAUCRSA permitting the cultivation of 6 mature or 12 immature cannabis plants.
While possessing a higher cannabis limit may draw inquiries from law enforcement, the MAUCRSA makes provision for obtaining legal proof for higher cannabis possession limits. The Medical Marijuana Identification Card Program administered by the California Department of Public Health through the county health offices allows registered patients to obtain optional medical marijuana ID cards. This card provides legal protection for possessing more cannabis for approved medical purposes. Also, Redondo Beach patients who present California medical marijuana identification cards at licensed cannabis retailers across California can avoid paying sales taxes on their medical cannabis purchases.
