So while this is cool I did not look at the proposition nor any of the legalities surrounding it. If anyone could answer (or provide a link explaining) the following I'd appreciate it: * How will this change how marijuana will be bought/sold? * How will this affect drug testing for Californian businesses? For other businesses? * Are there any catches/gotchas to recreational use to be wary of? EDIT: Thanks for your answers, guys! Good to know =D

If things are done similarly to in CO, where I'm familiar with the precedents - 1. Some medical dispensaries will double as recreational shops and new recreational shops will open. 2. Many CA businesses will continue to test for marijuana. 3. Maybe remember to pick up inside your car before driving out of state. ... but it could go down differently in CA.

Here's a few details: * You can still be fired from your job for marijuana use. * You could still have your children taken from you for marijuana use. * The prop allows local jurisdictions to set their own rules, so your city/county may still ban it. With this prop as a foundation, Californians can choose to continue to develop cannabis law in different directions from here.

Honestly. This already has been going on in CA. The medical marijuana cards are a total joke. In SF it takes ~15 minutes to get one if you are physically at a clinic. marijuana has already been sold, regulated, and industrialized in CA. This law was really about stopping the joke about the cards and getting more tax revenue.

As far as I know the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission doesn’t recognize marijuana users as a protected class. Its up to state law to recognize marijuana users as a protected class in employment if they want to. If they don't then you can be fired for testing positive for marijuana just like you can be fired for being a nicotine user in most states or you can be fired for a whole host of behaviors both illegal and legal. The companies doing drug test will continue. http://www.hrmorning.com/ban-hiring-smokers/ http://www.hrmorning.com/ban-hiring-smokers/
