Is 'concentrated cannabis' a legal form of medical marijuana?

Is concentrated cannabis a legal form of marijuana in California? Yes, as this criminal defense lawyer explains.

A person with a valid medical marijuana identification card may legally possess and use concentrated cannabis. Without a medical marijuana card, however, possession is a misdemeanor carrying up to one year of county jail time.

Concentrated cannabis used to be a wobbler, meaning that even possession for personal use could be prosecuted as a felony. But in November 2014, California voters passed Proposition 47. This changed it to a straight misdemeanor.

A person previously convicted of possession of concentrated cannabis as a felony can now apply to be re-sentenced under Proposition 47 down to a misdemeanor.
