Assuming it passes and survives the court challenges this is my thought:

1. The medical pot stores will just convert to convenience store type places where anyone can come in and buy it.

2. You will see a crop of these types of stores popping up at the borders so that people in the neighboring states can hop over the border and buy their weed. kind of like how all around the border of Nevada there are casinos that are there to service those who want to just jump in and gamble a little, but not go all the way to vegas or reno.

3. Pot will become a major cash crop in Cali. People can grow and sell it just like they would wheat or corn.

4. Hemp would then also become legal and should become a major cash crop. The uses for hemp are vast and it grows fast so the potential to make a lot of money off of it could be great.

5. There could then be a boost in the number of businesses that create and sell hemp based products.

6. The sheer amount of money raised by the taxes off the pot sales will encourage other more liberal states to follow suit.

Just a few thoughts.
