In California, adults 21 and over can legally possess up to 28.5 grams (1 ounce) of cannabis flower for personal use. That's about 28.5 grams—far less than a kilogram. If you have a medical marijuana card, you may possess up to 8 ounces (226.8 grams) as recommended by a physician. However, a kilo (1,000 grams) is well above any personal possession limit and is typically only handled by licensed distributors and manufacturers. Always stay within legal limits to avoid penalties.
