November marked a rather important milestone since my recent move to California. My state driver's license arrived in the mail, and I bought weed legally for the first time.
Before relocating from New York to the Golden State, I heard it was inconceivably easy to get cannabis here (though admittedly, it's now even more convenient in places like Washington and Oregon).

Thanks to startups like Eaze and Meadow, you can get a prescription online in minutes and have the product delivered to your doorstep.
