In case you haven’t heard, California is about to become the largest state in the country to legalize the sale of recreational marijuana.
However, you won’t be able to find a dispensary selling pot for recreational usage in Los Angeles on Jan. 1.
Why? Because L.A.won’t be accepting applications to sell legal recreational pot until Jan. 3. According to the AP, the state of California had issued only 42 retail licenses as of yesterday.
