Prop 64 legalized the recreational use of cannabis in California in November 2016. However, the use, sale, and possession of cannabis over 0.3% THC in the United States remains illegal under federal law.
As a result of recreational legalization, the City of Santa Rosa and the County of Sonoma do not prohibit adults from growing, using, or transporting cannabis for personal use.
The cannabis industry in Sonoma County offers visitors a bit of everything from farmers to manufacturers to retail. We understand that travelers want to get to know Sonoma County beyond just the vineyards, and Visit Santa Rosa believes it's the perfect time to highlight the growing and varied market of increasingly sophisticated and curious tastes available to discover in our beautiful destination.
If you’ve ever wanted to explore the therapeutic benefits of marijuana without the high associated with THC, then you might want to try CBD. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis. Many of our licensed dispensaries help in determining the best CBD products to meet your needs.
In addition to dispensaries tours are available from operators like The Sonoma County Experience or explore the cannabis trail. There are also businesses to business and business to consumer trade shows and events like Hall of Flowers and The Emerald Cup.
