Additional things to note:
State law also requires all persons accessing any cannabis facility to be 21 years of age or older with proper identification. Please keep your government issued photo ID on hand at all times.
Due to recent changes in California state law, smoked cannabis consumption is not permitted aboard any CA PUC-licensed vehicles. We are really sorry about this and we are aggressively lobbying to fix this. #vote
