Use marijuana in California legally

In the US state of California, the sale of marijuana for recreational use has been permitted since Monday.

A majority of voters voted in November 2016 for the legalization of marijuana for recreational use. Meanwhile, the use is permitted in six American states. Besides California, these are Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Alaska and Nevada. Massachusetts and Maine will follow later this year.

Economists expect California to receive $ 1 billion annually (835 million euros) in taxes on marijuana sales.
