"Recreational marijuana is now legal in California - and that's a game changer for public health. Though 25 other states have already legalized weed for medicinal purposes and four for recreational purposes, the size and population of California puts its decision in a different league and it could lead the way to figuring out policy around the drug. Current projections have Maine, Nevada, and Massachusetts voting to legalize recreational marijuana, while Arizona voted against legalizing recreational pot. Akash Patel, president of Cameo, remarks that: "Signing of this LOI does not shift the company's focus on its ongoing commitment to mineral exploration. However, we expect to complete our due diligence within the next 45 days and update our shareholders along the way."
