What to know in Imperial Beach
Imperial Beach is the southernmost beach city in California, a few miles north of the border, with its pier, its beachfront and the Tijuana River estuary at its edge.
The beach and the pier
The beach, the pier, the boardwalk and the estuary trails are public places. Consuming cannabis in a public place is prohibited statewide and can bring a fine of up to 250 dollars. The city's own smoking rules are listed above.
The border is close
Transporting cannabis across the United States border is a federal offense regardless of California law, and that holds in both directions. Mexican customs has warned that bringing cannabis into Mexico can result in a fine of 80,000 pesos and possible incarceration, with no exception for cannabis bought legally in California.
The Navy field
A Navy landing field sits on the city's southern edge. UCMJ Article 112a prohibits cannabis use and possession by United States service members regardless of state law.
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.
