However there are still laws which make the possession of marijuana illegal, under certain circumstances. One of those laws is Health & Safety Code 11357, also called HS 11357, or 11357 HS. Health & Safety Code 11357 makes it illegal to possess more than 28.5 grams of dried "flower" cannabis, or more than 8 grams of concentrated cannabis, such as hash or "dabs". For minors under the age of 21, possessing more than the legal amount of marijuana is an infraction, that can result in fines and possibly drug education classes. For adults over the age of 21, a violation of Health & Safety Code 11357 is a misdemeanor, with a maximum sentence of up to 6 months in jail if convicted. However some California counties do not enforce marijuana-related crimes, or only enforce them if there is a very large amount of marijuana. Other California counties do still prosecute marijuana crimes, and in one of those counties Health & Safety Code 11357 is a serious offense.
