The California Safe Communities and Parks Act (Statutory Initiative, #15-0036) did not qualify for the November 8, 2016 election ballot as an initiated state statute.[1]

Many other marijuana legalization initiatives were circulated in California in 2016. As of March 4, 2016, the clear front-runner and the most likely to reach the ballot was the initiative called the Adult Use of Marijuana Act.
