Is sale in CA limited to residents or is it like they tried in CO with being able to buy different amounts for residents and non-residents?
I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

Residents and you must show a valid CA ID. If you bought an ounce a day, well you could probably start your own business aimed at "tourists":
"The law permits adults 21 and up to buy 1 ounce of cannabis per day, which is enough material to fill a few dozen joints. You can alternately purchase up to 8 grams of cannabis concentrates found in marijuana edibles such as candies, brownies and breakfast bars."

That page looks only to address cultivation and retail, not use or possession
County law cannot control state law, just as the feds argue state law cannot control fed law. Hence the cash problem.

I believe it has more to do with the fact that banks won't do business with dispensaries, medical or recreational. While there have been attempts to provide banks with some protection against or an exception to federal law, the risk of seizure is still considered to risky.

Just be careful when you cross County lines with your purchase.

Isn't that a dopeshow?
Not really a concern. While local jurisdictions in California (mostly municipalities but also counties in unincorporated areas) have some ability to regulate the cultivation (commercial and personal), manufacture, and wholesale and retail sale, there's no risk under state law for possession so long as what you possess is within the allowable limits. In short, there's no risk under state law if you purchase legally in one county or jurisdiction and take it back home for use in another jurisdiction.

I don't think that is correct. Prop 64 had no residency requirement. All it required is a valid government ID and proof of age. Can you point to anything that says you must be a CA resident?

No bank will touch drug money. This is true for Weed sales even in legal states. So the whole recreational and medical weed industry is on a cash basis. To the point that the big weed farms, are sitting on piles of cash cause they can not deposit them in a bank. A not so hidden problem in the weed business right now.
There are ways around that issue. No efficient ones, but the IRS does accept cash thru non-bank intermediaries. The dispensary owners I know are more worried about an IRS audit than Jeff Sessions channeling Nancy Reagan & busting down their doors, hence they keep the big dog happy.

How do you equate poor and good neighborhoods wanting or not wanting the stupid kush shops? People (period) do not want them in their areas.
Ironically, dispensaries boost property values though.

In CO, houses within 1/10 mile of dispensaries saw their values raise 8.4% MORE than houses between 1/10 and 1/4 mile
