Welcome to the City of Mt. Shasta Cannabis page. The City on October 23, 2017 approved regulations for the Cannabis industry in the City Limits. The approved regulations are separated into three parts: zoning, retail licenses, and industry licenses. The City does allows for personal growing with some requirements. Cannabis use in public space and on Federal land is prohibited.
Personal Use
Cannabis usage in California is legal for individuals over 21 years of age with some regulations. The California Department of Public Health has created the “Let’s Talk Cannabis” Initiative to identify information about legal, safe and responsible use, and health information for youth, pregnant and breastfeeding women, parents and mentors, and health care providers.
The CDPH is committed to providing the public with the facts that are needed to make safe and informed choices. For more information on “Let’s Talk Cannabis” and the CDPH visit The Let’s Talk webpage.
