What to know in Bonsall
Bonsall is a rural community in the San Luis Rey River valley, along State Route 76 between Oceanside and Interstate 15.
On State Route 76
If you shop in a nearby city, the state transport rules apply on the drive home. Cannabis rides sealed or in the trunk, nobody in the car may consume it, and driving under the influence is a DUI.
The river valley
The river park, the valley's trails and its roadside pullouts are public places. Consuming cannabis in a public place is prohibited statewide and can bring a fine of up to 250 dollars.
The rules behind this page
State law is the same in every part of the county: where you can consume, purchase limits, the border, and the military rules. What changes from place to place is whether the local government allows stores, when they may open, and who may deliver, which is what the section above records.
