Happy Tuesday, Cannifornians!

Look what we made! This is the first-ever edition of The Cannifornian‘s weekly newsletter. Every Tuesday we’ll be sharing the best cannabis content – from news stories to fun features to original videos – created by our journalists throughout the state of California and our media partners throughout the country. We’ll also be offering up recipes, strain reviews, entertainment guides, opinion pieces and more from The Cannifornian‘s growing team of talented contributors. And we’ll give you a heads-up on what to watch for over the coming week in the rapidly evolving world of weed.

As the past several days have shown, the real work began after Californians legalized recreational marijuana on Nov. 8. In Sacramento, regulators and stakeholders are scrambling to find a solution to the cannabis industry’s banking woes, while interest groups are squaring off over how weed should be distributed. Meanwhile, cities and counties throughout the state are grappling with whether to regulate marijuana businesses or continue long-standing bans.

Enough politics. Two L.A. residents teamed up to write “The Scratch & Sniff Book of Weed,” which will of course come out on 4/20. (As Facebook follower Kathryn Turner said: “These publishers know their audience.”) Speaking of that holiest of stoner holidays, we’ve started adding California 4/20 celebrations to our events roundup. And we dare you not to feel a bit more relaxed after looking at these photos from a cannabis farmer’s market on a ranch in Malibu Canyon.
