AB 2300, as introduced, Wood. Marijuana.
Existing law, the Medical Marijuana Program, requires the State Department of Public Health to establish and maintain a voluntary program for the issuance of identification cards to qualified patients who satisfy specified requirements with respect to the use of medical marijuana. Existing law provides that the Medical Marijuana Program does not authorize a person with an identification card to smoke medical marijuana under specified circumstances, including in or within 1,000 feet of the grounds of a school, recreation center, or youth center, unless the medical use occurs within a residence.
This bill would authorize a city council or a board of supervisors to prohibit the smoking of medical marijuana within 1 mile of the grounds of a school, recreation center, or youth center, unless the medical use occurs within a residence.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.
