Early Monday morning, crowds lined up outside of cannabis businesses across the state to ring in the new year with legal purchases of recreational marijuana. We’ll check in with the San Francisco Chronicle’s Cannabis Editor David Downs to see how the state’s new era of commercial pot sales is going so far. And we want to hear from you: What questions do you have about California’s new recreational marijuana industry?
