What to know in Little Italy
Little Italy is the northwest corner of downtown San Diego, a dense strip of restaurants, patios and condos along India Street, a short drive from the airport.
Patios, piazzas and the waterfront
India Street's sidewalks, the Piazza della Famiglia, the Saturday market and Waterfront Park are public places. Consuming cannabis in a public place is prohibited statewide and can bring a fine of up to 250 dollars. A restaurant sets its own house rules for its patio.
The airport next door
At San Diego International Airport the security checkpoint is federal jurisdiction, and carrying cannabis across state lines is a federal offense 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.
