In 2020, California passengers will not be able to smoke marijuana in any moving vehicle

REDDING, Calif. — In 2020, California passengers will not be able to smoke marijuana in any moving vehicle.

Current law did not allow passengers to smoke marijuana in the passenger seat of a standard moving vehicle however there was an exemption in place for limousines, taxis, and party buses.

However, lawmakers voted to end the exemption under Senate Bill 625 that allowed passengers to consume marijuana while in a bus, limousine, taxi, pedicab, housecar or camper. While passengers in any of those vehicles will no longer be able to ingest cannabis, they will still be able to drink alcohol.

This will affect the recreational-users the most because marijuana has become a popular party drug since it was officially legalized in the state of California in 2016.

"I would say the rules and regulations for cannabis have been rolled out in ways that can be seen as not fair for sure. On the other side, I do understand that you know cops and enforcement need to be able to tell if someone is driving and smoking because that is unsafe," said Laythen Martines, the owner of Sundial Collective in Redding.

Passengers in party buses and limos will still be allowed to consume alcohol.
