That is not quite right actually. Parts of the law (in particular possession, consumption, and growing for personal use) became legal right after the law passed. The permitting for legally selling and therefore being taxed does not go into affect until 2018.
Randolph is dumb and we should look at voiding his contract. Shouldn't have been where he was with the people he was with doing what he was doing.

So he can claim that 2 pounds as personal use for recreational purposes? What a load of manure. Of course, should he pursue that line of defense he may skate on the charges in LA but still lose his job because of the conflict with the NBA.
I still maintain his biggest mistake in all this, and the one thing that will probably cause it all to end badly for him, is that he showed an unbelievable lack of anything remotely resembling common sense. Comparing his IQ to a box of rocks is what comes to mind, and it's probably not fair ... to the box of rocks.

When Oregon legalized there was this weird stretch where you could just give it away freely but not sell. I doubt this is the case in CA but you really never know. Either way, I am pretty sure the "intent to distribute" charge is bogus and it's embarrassing given the current state of affairs in CA. But when you are in Randolph's position it's all about not being a dumas, which he clearly was, and that's what's disappointing.
Unfortunately now that we are fully legal I believe our prices are highest in the nation.
But you can't go 3-4 blocks in Portland proper without hitting a rec shop. They are possibly more prevalent than strip clubs and brew pubs, which is basically what put us on the map aside from that stupid tv show.

Hey: let's all calm down a bit. Yes it's sketchy that Randolph went to a party in the Watts area. Lots of party folks around. Is it not possible that he put his backpack down and later someone, when the police came, stuffed 2 lbs of weed into it? Just saying: do not jump to too many conclusions, because we do not know exactly what the hell happened. He would have to be a complete blind idiot to carry that stuff in his backpack. Why would he do that? Not to excuse his problematic choice to even be in the neighborhood. But let's see how it plays out.
It is legal and it isn't.
Federal law still classifies cannabis as a Schedule I narcotic. That category is for drugs like heroin that are said to be highly addictive with no medical value.
Even though polls show a record number of Americans believe marijuana should be legal, there’s been no move to change that at the Federal level. Currently 28 states permit medical marijuana and eight allow recreational use, including California.
Here's a good FAQ on recreational marijuana now being legal in California - from the kcra.com website...
Q: How much pot am I legally allowed to possess on my person?
A: 28.5 grams or about 1 ounce

A: Alaska, Colorado, Oregon, Washington
Q: Am I allowed to grow my own marijuana?
A: Yes. You are allowed to grow up to 6 plants for personal use.
Q: Are there shops in the state now where I can buy recreational marijuana?
A: Not yet. You still need to have a medical marijuana card to make purchases at dispensaries. The state is figuring out the rules and regulations to sell recreational use marijuana, which will likely take most of 2017.
Q: Can I smoke weed in public?
A: No, you can only smoke in a private space.
Q: Am I allowed to smoke weed and drive?
A: "Whether it's marijuana, a prescription drug and unknown substance or alcohol, if any of those impair your driving, you're subject to DUI laws in California," California Highway Patrol Capt. Josh Ehlers said.

I am all for legalizing weed. I never will smoke it, but if it helps the state and keeps low level dealers and users out of jail then it's all good. Those are people that my tax dollars will not be paying for to sit in jail for a stupid offense. Personally, there is much much more wrong with CA in regards to politics and outright weird crazy liberal wackos in charge. When I retire I am definitely 100% leaving CA forever heh.. There is way too much wrong with CA and it's never going to be fixed, even with weed money.
Again, I don't think the fuss is about the legality of it or not.
No one would bat an eye if we happened to cut a D-leaguer who isn't good enough for the roster. No one would want a D-league taking up starters minutes, after all.
It's the same principle. We sure as hell didn't sign Zbo for his basketball ability. If that was the case, I don't think it would cause this much of a stink. It was to be a mentor. He clearly can't do his job well enough so we should look for way to get rid of him.
