Finding a retail outlet to buy non-medical pot in California won’t be easy — at least initially. Meanwhile, Fresno, Bakersfield and Riverside are among the communities that have adopted laws forbidding recreational marijuana sales. State regulators have said shops must have local and state licenses to open for business in the new year. Since then, five more states have passed recreational marijuana laws, including Massachusetts, where retail sales are scheduled to begin in July. “It remains to be seen if this can balance itself out.”At first, pot shops will be able to sell marijuana harvested without full regulatory controls.
