What to know in Rancho Bernardo
Rancho Bernardo is the city's northernmost community, along Interstate 15 south of Escondido, with golf courses, business parks and many retirement communities.
A community of homes
Most of this neighborhood is homes. With the permission of whoever controls the property, a private residence is the lawful place to consume. Leases often prohibit smoking on the premises, so renters should check theirs. Homeowner associations and senior communities often set their own rules for shared spaces.
Bringing it home
If you shop elsewhere in the city, the state transport rules apply on the way back along Interstate 15. Cannabis rides sealed or in the trunk, nobody in the car may consume it, and driving under the influence is a DUI.
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.
