I was going to see friends who live in Los Angeles, CA, however while there, I was surprised to find out that they had legalized recreational marijuana.
Where I live, the only marijuana that is legalized, is if you have a medical marijuana ID card, however at that point, you can go into any marijuana dispensary, show your ID, & you are able to purchase any marijuana product that you want, however from what our friends were telling me, in Los Angeles, CA, you can go into any marijuana dispensary, with or without a medical marijuana ID card, & purchase marijuana products.
What surprised myself and others the most, was that you could legally smoke recreational marijuana as long as you are over the age of 21, but you could not smoke in public. The only time you were able to smoke was if you were on your own property or in an area that allowed smoking, then in Los Angeles, CA they consider smoking as the use of marijuana, cigarettes, or even vape pens which include the discreet vape pens. Apparently, Los Angeles, CA wants to allow adults to use marijuana but they want it to be used responsibly. In one way I agree with them. I don’t suppose young children should be subjected to any type of cigarette smoke be it tobacco cigarettes or marijuana cigarettes. With all the hype about the danger of vape pens, I can also understand that they don’t want younger people to be around, however my friends & I made sure that when both of us were smoking marijuana, both of us kept it only inside the condo & on the enclosed patio.
