Recreational marijuana is legal in California<\/em>. However, that doesn\u2019t mean that teens are allowed to partake in marijuana.<\/p>\n

At this point, it\u2019s legal for anyone who is over the age of 21, to grow, use, and carry marijuana. That age limit is important. If a person is 21 and enjoying some marijuana, they\u2019re fine. The same isn\u2019t true if their 19-year-old friend is doing the same thing.<\/p>\n

The one exception to marijuana use in teenagers is if that medical marijuana<\/em> can be prescribed to anyone who is at least 18 years old. That means that if an 18-, 19-, or 20-year-old has a prescription from a legit doctor, they can legally use marijuana. If a teen is prescribed medical marijuana, they must adhere to the rules laid out in the prescription. The slightest deviation could result in them facing serious legal repercussions.<\/p>\n

Teens who are caught illegally in the possession of marijuana will face the same legal consequences<\/em> they\u2019d face if they were caught with alcohol. As long as the teen is merely in the possession of the marijuana but not using it, they will be charged with an infraction. The consequences of this particular marijuana infraction include a fine, mandatory drug education, and community service.<\/p>\n

Teens who are caught operating a car after they have been illegally using marijuana will face the same consequences that they would had they been illegally drinking. In addition to fines and drug counseling, they will face license suspension. The more times they are caught driving while under the influence of marijuana<\/em>, the more severe the legal consequences become.<\/p>\n

At the end of the day, it\u2019s important to make sure teenagers understand that it\u2019s really in their best interest to wait until they are 21 before they experiment with marijuana. While they still have to be careful and make sure they don\u2019t take so much that their ability to drive is impaired, by waiting until they\u2019re legally able to do so, they don\u2019t have to worry about getting into trouble for simply having marijuana<\/a> in their pockets or tucked into a purse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
