California’s massive marijuana industry is a multibillion-dollar game, and as of last Thursday, it is at last a game with some rules.

With less than six weeks to go before the advent of the recreational marijuana era, the multiple state agencies responsible for regulating legal cannabis sales at last released a set of emergency regulations.
