On November 8, 2016, California voters approved Proposition 64,
which legalized possession and consumption of marijuana for adults
21 and over and immediately reduced or eliminated many criminal
penalties for marijuana in California - including the sale, and
cultivation of marijuana.
As the state gears up for full implementation on January 1, 2018,
Matt
SotoRosen, a senior trial attorney with the San Francisco
Public Defender’s Office, and DPA’s own Rodney Holcombe,
joined the show to discuss what marijuana legalization looks like
in California one year later. We also dig into the oft-overlooked
criminal justice provisions in Proposition 64, including record
clearing or resentencing for previous criminal convictions for
marijuana.
