Prop 64 permits them, though it doesn\u2019t allow local roads to be closed off to delivery drivers.

Your local city council, planning department or county board should be able to answer this question quickly. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Nugg<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">, California\u2019s largest online cannabis marketplace, provides <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/getnugg.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">medical cannabis delivery<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\"> across the state.

That might be tempting, especially if you\u2019re in medical need, but the penalties are steep fines and possible criminal charges. Ultimately, local governments must be forced to consider the situation reasonably and compassionately\u2014or be replaced. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"5\"><strong>Can I Smoke Cannabis in Public?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-4115 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/getnugg.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Webp.net-resizeimage-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"352\" height=\"293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getnugg.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Webp.net-resizeimage-1.jpg 421w, https:\/\/getnugg.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Webp.net-resizeimage-1-400x333.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getnugg.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Webp.net-resizeimage-1-300x249.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 352px) 100vw, 352px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Simply lighting up on the street will likely result in a fine.
