It is no secret to people with common sense that California has transformed from "The Golden State" to the "Crazy State". This is especially true since voters passed the Proposition 64 initiative legalizing recreational use of marijuana.
While this is the case, don't bother bringing your stash of pot to Sequoia National Park or any other national park in California.
Fresno's ABC30.com reported:
When traveling to a national park, park officials recommend leaving marijuana at home.
"Possession and use of marijuana is prohibited by federal law, and as a result is prohibited in national parks," said Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks Public Affairs Officer Sintia Kawasaki-Lee.
If caught with cannabis, officials say it will be confiscated and you could be fined.
These are the rules, regardless of Proposition 64, which legalized the drug in California.
