Eventually, it went to the ballot three times, and in 1999, the prevailing voter sentiment in San Francisco was to remove the Central Freeway somewhere south of Market [Street].

Eventually, it went to the ballot three times, and in 1999, the prevailing voter sentiment in San Francisco was to remove the Central Freeway somewhere south of Market [Street]. Eventually, we [now] have that Octavia Boulevard and the touchdown of the freeway at Market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Caltrans says the traffic jams for this closure could be significant.

However, as many San Franciscans know, the day-to-day realities in San Francisco can be quite different.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“ I think the risk would be low — but not zero — to show up on 420 and consume cannabis in Golden Gate Park,” Seligson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seligson said that generally, people are less likely to get busted for consuming cannabis in public in San Francisco because “ police have discretion in enforcing these rules, and they have priorities.

But that penalty goes up if you’re caught smoking cannabis in a place where tobacco is prohibited — or within 1,000 feet of a school, day care center or youth center while children are present.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“ That’s where you might see the discretion of a police officer,” Seligson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What about smoking or carrying cannabis on federal land like the Presidio?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area is blessed with a multitude of scenic properties that are owned by the federal government, which could strike someone as the perfect place to \u003cem>(ahem)\u003c/em> take a walk with some friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Seligson said cannabis consumers should be aware that the chances of police enforcing cannabis law are much higher on federal property — and the penalty is much harsher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Possession of any amount of cannabis on federal land is a misdemeanor offense and can carry a maximum sentence of 1 year in prison or a maximum fine of $1,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12057664\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1999px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12057664\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/09/250224-Presidio-09-BL_qed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1999\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/09/250224-Presidio-09-BL_qed.jpg 1999w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/09/250224-Presidio-09-BL_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/09/250224-Presidio-09-BL_qed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1999px) 100vw, 1999px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A person walks dogs through Crissy Field in the Presidio, a park and former military outpost, in San Francisco on Feb. 25, 2025. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“ Do not bring your cannabis, and do not smoke your cannabis in the Presidio,” Seligson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other notable federally owned properties in the San Francisco area include Alcatraz Island, the Marin Headlands and Ocean Beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Cannabis remains federally classified as a schedule one controlled substance, meaning any cannabis use, possession or distribution on federal property is illegal,” Seligson said. “There is no leeway there, and there is enforcement as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
