California’s cannabis industry may have won a battle in 2016 with Proposition 64—but now it’ll have to fight the war

Californians may have voted to legalize cannabis nearly two and half years ago, but the industry is now facing a formidable opponent: city hall. Or, to be precise, two dozen city halls.

A legislative committee in the statea measure earlier this month that would have banned home deliveries of cannabis on similar grounds.
