What to know in San Marcos
San Marcos is an inland North County city on Highway 78 between Vista and Escondido, home to Cal State San Marcos and Palomar College.
Campuses
Cal State San Marcos and Palomar College set their own campus rules, and a campus is not a private residence. Check the campus policy before bringing cannabis onto either.
Parks and trails
Discovery Lake, Double Peak and the city's trail network are public places. Consuming cannabis in a public place is prohibited statewide and can bring a fine of up to 250 dollars. San Marcos's own rule for city parks, trails and facilities is listed above; read it, because it covers more than consumption.
Bringing it home
If you shop outside the city, the state transport rules apply on the way back along Highway 78. 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.
