Information about A.B. 390

A.B. 390, California's Marijuana Control, Regulation and Education Act:

Removes criminal penalties for personal marijuana possession and cultivation for adults over the age of 21. Adults 21 and up could use marijuana at home or at a home with the consent of a resident 21 years of age or older. Using marijuana in public would be a $100 fine.
Allows persons 21 or older to grow up to six mature plants. If a garden is outdoors, it couldn't be visible to the public.
Makes possession and sales of marijuana paraphernalia legal for adults 21 and up.
Allows cultivation of industrial hemp.
Bans local agencies from willfully assisting federal law enforcement efforts to enforce federal laws that are inconsistent with California law, and bans the use of state/local resources to do so.
Does not remove penalties for marijuana possession or sales on high school or lower schools' grounds.
Does not change existing law protecting medical marijuana patients, nor does it impose additional taxes on marijuana obtained for medical purposes.
Does not affect the rights of employers to drug test and terminate or deny employment to individuals based on their marijuana use.
Institutes a regulatory system for commercial growers, processors, wholesalers, and retailers, to go in effect 30 days after a change in federal law allowing states to set their own marijuana policies. The system would be similar to alcohol regulation and a fee of $50 per ounce of marijuana would be assessed on retailers.
