Once California goes full bore for recreational and once big ag gets into the MJ business, MJ restrictions elsewhere (at least in the Western states) will become essentially impossible to enforce. I am not a LE officer, so I have no firsthand knowledge, but I think that MJ laws may already be impossible to enforce given what I have witnessed at a number of outdoor concerts. Just for context, I live in Utah and I think that the continued erosion of the enforceability of the MJ laws is generally a good thing.
And this is a story because?
Seattle, San Francisco and Portland have had more legal pot shops for a while now, and here in Portland we have more of them than Starbucks.
Funny to see Los Angeles play catch up to other major west coast cities.
