OMG!! California Legalizes Marijuana As Hundreds Queue Up To Purchase
Hundreds of excited customers waited in huge lines inCaliforniaas the Golden State turned a shade greener with its first sales of recreational marijuana on New Year's Day.
California launched the world's largest regulated commercial market for recreational marijuana on Monday, as dozens of newly licensed stores opened for business up and down the state.
A shop in Santa Cruz hung a banner proclaiming 'Prohibition is Over!' and one in San Diego handed out T-shirts showing the first moon landing and declaring a 'giant leap for mankind' to mark the occasion.
Freebies and food greeted those who waited in long lines to get their hands on weed with names like 'Oh Geezus' and 'Banana Breath.'
Lines were at least 40 minutes long in some stores and buyers came from as far away as Iowa, Kansas and Canada.
