California's Prop 64 would make recreational marijuana legal in the state. If the law passes, it would mean a big shift in the way the Golden State — already the largest market for pot in the U.S. — regulates marijuana. It could also mean big changes in enforcement, as well as the habits and health of Californians. We'll go into some details of every aspect of the measure in Take Two's special exploring the issue, but first, we take a look at how life in the Golden State would and wouldn't change if the law's passed.
