Starting Jan. 1, anyone 21 and older will be able to legally buy marijuana in California with just an ID.

However, only shops with both local permits and state licenses to sell recreational cannabis will be able to open their doors to customers who don’t have doctor’s recommendations for medical marijuana.

The Bureau of Cannabis Control on Dec. 14 started issuing temporary licenses for recreational marijuana sales. Here’s a map of every shop that’s so far sanctioned to sell cannabis to adults on New Year’s Day. The map will be updated frequently, with new state licenses issued each day.

Celebrating a major shift in cultural attitudes about cannabis — or just looking to enjoy the right to get high without legal entanglements — Californians lined up at dispensaries up and down the state Monday morning to be among the first to purchase recreational cannabis, more than a year after voters passed Prop. 64.

In the pre-dawn darkness at KindPeoples collective in Santa Cruz, a line of 80 people snaked around the building before doors opened. The first sale – a eighth of a gram of indica flower called ‘Nine Pound Hammer’ – was made, to resounding applause, to UC-Santa Cruz professor of Sociology and Legal Studies emeritus Craig Reinarman, 69,whose research has focused on drug policy in America.

“It feels great. It is long overdue,” Reinarman said. “Cannabis prohibition was conceived in fraud, spread by racist fears full of misinformation and myths. And now the law is finally catching up with the culture and people.”

Cali is so Dis-Jointed.

Ten.six miles and two towns away.

It will likely be so costly, as to incentivize growing your own at home. A quick check indicates you can grow up to six plants.

I subscribe to the "gateway" theory.  Since all mind altering substances diminish judgment, by the time you need a good decision, you lack the capacity.

I assume you apply that rule to alcohol and nicotine as well as to pot?

Then they won't allow employers to drug screen applicants,  but the company could still get sued if an intoxicated employee harms a customer.

Where did you see that there will be no drug screening?

The purpose of buying wine is to run out of wine.
