LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Latest on recreational marijuana sales in California (all times local):
5:45 a.m.
About 100 people are lined up in the parking lot of the Harborside marijuana dispensary in Oakland, California.
They're waiting for the doors to open at 6 a.m. Monday so that they can be among the first customers to buy legal pot in the state.
The crowd sipped coffee and munched doughnuts, braving overnight temperatures in the mid-40s (around 6 degrees Celsius).
The dispensary says the first customers will receive special gifts. Harborside is one of about 90 California businesses that received state licenses to open on New Year's Day.
A law allowing the state's first legal retail pot sales went into effect at 12:01 a.m.
