1-1-18 is a day that will change the laws of California to where anyone over the age of 21 can legally purchase marijuana for personal use. This law will have the collateral damage such as the availability to those under the legal age to have access to the drug from friends, and family which is the same problem society has to deal when it comes to underage drinking.

I see what is coming is a period of adjustment that will at sometimes seems like America during the prohibition of alcohol. There will be a new reality for California and those millions who come here from across the globe. There will be a learning curve between those who are sworn to enforce the law, and those who choose to ignore what laws are on the books.

This will be a new chapter on what was called “The New World Order” by former president Bush. Marijuana the drug of choice for musicians and minorities on the fringe of society will now be out there for everyone who wants to get high both legally and of course illegally. The journey to uncharted territories begins. The slippery slope to whatever begins on 1-1-18. Good luck.
