marijuana dispensaries that opened early in the east bay today, the first day recreational marijuana became legal in california. some dispensaries in berkeley and oakland opened as early as 6 a.m. after being licensed in california and their respective cities for recreational sales following the passage of proposition 64 in november 2016. underscoring the new legal status of the herb, a personage no less impressive than the mayor of berkeley, jesse arreguin, attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony at berkeley patients group on san pablo avenue. "it's an exciting moment. we worked really hard in the fall to be sure bpg was ready to open," said arreguin, who cut a green ribbon to officially open the dispensary to recreational sales. people were waiting outside the door before bpg opened at 6 a.m., and the same was true art purple heart patient center on fourth street. "we opened at 6 a.m. we had people waiting in line," said kell mckenzie, a team leader at purple heart. reached by telephone around 10 a.m., mckenzie said the store was crowded and the mood upbeat. "it's great seeing the new customers and they seem really excited about looking at the products," mckenzie said. oakland's harborside dispensary opened at 6 a.m. the harborside in san jose opened at 9 a.m. emails and phone calls to the dispensary and its chief executive were not returned. while oakland, berkeley and san jose signed off on various dispensaries to begin

recreational sales starting monday, other cities including san francisco did not approve legislation for it in time for the start of the new year. in san francisco's case, legislation was not signed until early december following lengthy debates over regulatory issues for the dispensaries. ultimately, the board opted for a 600-foot buffer zone around city schools and did not institute bans or caps for the number of dispensaries in each supervisorial district. the city's existing 45 medical marijuana dispensaries and delivery able to begin as early as saturday. (steve) with the legalization of recreational marijuana in california... law enforcement officials are warning that while sales and use may be legal driving high...is not. kron 4's dan kerman reports from c-h-p headquarters in san francisco. whether it's legal or not it's still dangerous to operate a vehicle of any kind if you are impaired, whether it's drugs, whether its marijuana, whether it's alcohol chp officer vu williams says all chp officers have now taken an advanced class to identify roadside impairment and will be putting that knowledge to the test with field sobriety tests. sotthese are tests to see if you can follow directions, whether you can multi task, whether your motor skills are impaired or not. things that you use when you drive a vehicle. whether we have a blood test or not is

not what we are looking at on the side of the raod, we are looking at those tests and determining if they are impaired and making an arrest based on that. and while arrests may be as straight forward as they were before getting a conviction may be harder. ááásot bill fazio/criminal defense attorney 109-120they can quantify alcohol .08, that's a matter of law the same doesn't apply to any drugs including marijuana so it will be more difficult at least initially. criminial defense attorney bill fazio says the lack of specificity when it comes to marijuana gives defense attorneys more options when in trial.

national unity but did acknowledge there are real issues at play.iran hasn't seen the economic boost rouhani hoped would come after the 2015 nuclear deal reduced international sanctions and allowed iran to increase trade. president trump, in one of his first tweets of the new year, said in part, "the great iranian people have been repressed for many years. they are hungry for food & for freedom. along with human rights, the wealth of iran is being looted. time for change!" president rouhani has criticized trump's response saying he has no right to sympathize with iran.hassan rouhani / iranian president: he has created problems for the iranian people when it comes to visas, when it comes to financial issues, or it comes to banking issues. he has been constantly creating problems for us.president trump will be back in washington monday night, the situation with iran no doubt on his foreign policy radar, as deadly protests continue, with no clear end in sight.in washington, i'm omar jimenez.

(( áá v.o. / steve áá )) big news to end a disappointing season for the oakland raiders, now the big quiestionwhat's next for jack del rio and who will be his replacement? (steve) with the new year comes

new laws. we've been

telling you about the new recreational marijuana laws... and changes coming to car registration fees...but there are more. new at six... if you are someone who enjoys the outdoors and the water.. there are some new laws you'll need to know about too. we will break it down for you before you put you boat in the water. (steve) and then a bay area company is launching a new study that will look at dna and weightloss. we'll tell you how you can get involved.. coming up at six. (catherine) the fates of change came quickly yesterday to the oakland raiders... the bay area football team-- now looking for a new coach. (steve) losing to the l.a. chargers was the last defeat for jack del rio. j.r. stone is handling sports for us tonight. (j.r.) the nfl regular season is over and that means the coaching changes are already underway. at least 4 coaches fired. we start with the

oakland raiders who are without a head coach tonight. jack del rio actually announced that he had been fired after the team's thirty to ten loss to the chargers on sunday. that is something that does not happen very often. del rio, a hayward native, was given a contract extension back in february coming off a twelve and four season. the excitement though was short lived as the team went six and ten this year and lost their last four games. amazing how things can change in just one year. they struggled with their identity this year. the offense struggled and at one point defensive coordinator ken norton junior was fired. gotta give it to del rio though. what a class act....speaking and answering questions about his own firing after the team's latest loss. even appeared as though he was close to tears speaking after the game on sunday. "i spoke with mark davis after the game and mark let me know that he's not going to be bringing me back. i'm very grateful. my childhood team. but, it's a results business. i understand that.""did you have

any conversations with mark before today that gave you any indications this was possible." "no.we did not." "he told you at the stadium today... or...""a few minutes ago." (j.r.) as for the raiders next coach. all eyes are on former raiders coach jon gruden. espn reports through "nfl sources" that jon gruden is expected to become the raiders next head coach. nothing has been announced as of right now. the deal could involved partial ownership of the team as well. gruden has been in the broadcast booth for the past nine season. he was with the raiders from 1998 to 2001 before being traded to tampa bay by al davis. a year later gruden's buccaneers defeated the raiders in the super bowl. gruden has been an espn staple since he was hired back in 2009. in his 11 seasons as head coach

jon gruden, or chucky as he is called has made the playoffs in five of those seasons. there is a hope that gruden could get the raiders back to where they were when derek carr led them to a 12 and 4 season. the same season where carr ended up getting injured. carr has not been the same since and there is the thought that gruden could get him back to that prime quarterback he once was. (j.r.) the san francisco 49ers ended their season yesterday on a pretty high note. in fact i'd say they ended it on a really high note with jimmy garoppolo. the team finished the season with the same record as the raiders but they ended it in style. the niners won their last five games of the season. after losing their frist nine games they won six of seven games to end things. the trade the team made with the new england patriots looks like a winner. jimmy garoppolo is now being called the second coming of joe montana. they've also nicknamed him jimmy g and jimmy g-q.. but he will

now become a free agent so we shall see the cost when it comes to keeping garoppolo. a franchise tag could be in his future as well. bottom line here though....there is excitement about this team. if you were able to watch the niners down the stretch you were able to see something special. guys playing together and guys winning football teams. (anchor) time now to check on our weather... with meteorologist lawrence karnow. lawrence karnow: it was a beautiful start to the new year with just a few patches of fog, a few high clouds and lots of sunshine. a weak ridge of high pressure continues to bring us dry and mild weather. but that

new adopters and people of never used it before or people just coming back it's changed a lot, welcome to the world of modern cannabissteve deangelo sells cannabis in all it's many forms here at his harborside dispensary.he understands that for those browsing the bud displays for the first time.... can be overwhelming. for starters....you don't have to smoke it anymore....pot extracts can be smoothed on in salves, taken in drops....and vaped like e-cigerates.it's a really great option you could just pull that your purse almost anywhere and you can take a hit or two very discreetly without without imposing on anybody else's social spacecannabis extracts also now infuse all sorts of edible and drinkable products... but while they go down easy.....he suggests new users not ingest more than 2 and half to 5 milligrams of thc in one sitting.....and wait up to 90 minutes before drinking more. because a little goes a long way, and lasts a long time.start off slow you can always eat more but you can never eat less, you don't want to end up curled in the fetal position very uncomfortable for 12

hours and that can happen if you eat too much cannabis another tip for those new to dispensaries...don't come expecting to put your ounce on your amex ..because marijuana is still against federal law credit cards are not accepted so bring cash, although some clubs like harborside do except debit cards maureen kelly kron4 news (catherine) with the new law in effect...there are a lot of questions on what you can and can't do.. the state will treat cannabis like alcohol...allowing people 21 and older to possess up to an ounce of pot. you're allowed to grow six marijuana plants at home. there's no smoking in public...and you can't smoke within one-thousand feet of a school or daycare center when children are around. no

smoking while driving. a general rule --- you can't smoke anywhere where tobacco is prohibited. while pot is legal in california...it remains illegal at the federal level. (steve) the availability of legal marijuana comes down to location... many communities are still working to figure out how many retail shops to allow...and if any. san francisco officials are still working to figure out how to regulate recreational and medicinal sales. the board of supervisors voted to allow nearly 50 medical dispensaries to sell recreational marijuana as early as january sixth. in the east bay... emmeryville voted to allow a pair of retailers in the city. parts of the north bay have made it much harder to get your hands on recreational marijuana... marin county officials rejected ten dispensary applications.

change. there is also a supermoon tonight meaning the moon will be full and at it's closest point in it's rotation around the earth. a flood advisory is up for coastal areas and around the bay through tomorrow with unusually high tides. on the satellite image you can see the storms continue to spin off of the coast. as we head into the middle of the week, high pressure will flatten allowing us a chance of rain. one the pattern opens up we could see above normal rain over the next couple of weeks. the air quality continues to suffer but should improve vastly once the rain returns. tomorrow we will see increasing clouds and very mild temperatures. some highs tomorrow could be near 70 degrees. rain will become more likely by wednesday afternoon. showers will likely continue on thursday and maybe into the weekend.

years with the raiders.

(steve) the new year brings new hope for transgender individuals who want to join the military. the defense department is taking steps to receive transgender recruits into the ranks as soon as today. however-- those who join know the legal road ahead could be bumpy. president trump

announced a transgender ban in august -- but it is yet to be implemented. last month, a second federal judge blocked enforcement of the prohibition.

(( áá v.o. / steve áá )) people are protesting in the streets of iran to start the new year andpresident trump gets involved with a series of tweets on the subject.

president trump has

already christened the new year with his first tweet. (catherine) the tweet slams the united states for helping terrorits. the tweet reads, quote... "the united states has foolishly given pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years... they have given us nothing but lies and deceit, thinking of our leaders as fools. they give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in afghanistan, with little help. no more!" (catherine) protests continue in iran... 12 people have been killed in the last few days.. protestors are upset about the rising cost of living and a poor economy... they're blasting the iranian government and religious leadership. iran's president is calling for national unity. iran hasn't seen the economic boost many hoped for....after the 2015 nuclear deal reduced international sanctions and allowed iran to increase trade. president trump is now calling for change... and is offering sympathy for the protestors. (steve)in sports... we have

player reaction to the firing of jack del rio...(catherine) and a big rumor as to who 'might' be the next head coach. j.r. has that story... and all the sports... coming up

the big sports news tonight is jon gruden. will he come to the raiders to be head coach? if so when will he come to the raiders? espn reports through "nfl sources" that jon gruden is expected to become the raiders next head coach. nothing has been announced as of right now. the deal could involved partial ownership of the team as well. gruden has been in the broadcast booth for the past nine season. he was with the raiders from 1998 to 2001 before being traded to tampa bay by al davis. a year later gruden's buccaneers defeated the raiders in the super bowl. gruden has been

an espn staple since he was hired back in 2009. in his 11 seasons as head coach jon gruden, or chucky as he is called has made the playoffs in five of those seasons. there is a hope that gruden could get the raiders back to where they were when derek carr led them to a 12 and 4 season. the same season where carr ended up getting injured. carr has not been the same since and there is the thought that gruden could get him back to that prime quarterback he once was. (j.r.) it has been a very hectic 24 hours for the former raiders coach jack del rio. del rio actually announced that he had been fired after the team's thirty to ten loss to the chargers on sunday. that is something that does not happen very often. del rio, a hayward native, was given a contract extension back in february coming off a twelve and four season. the excitement though was short lived as the team went six and ten this year and lost their last four games. amazing how things can amazing how games. their last four year and lost six and ten this the team went short lived as though was excitement the four season.twelve and coming off a in february extension back contract given a native, was hayward del rio, a often. del rio, a hayward native,

was given a contract extension back in february coming off a twelve and four season. the excitement though was short lived as the team went six and ten this year and lost their last four games. amazing how things can change in just one year. they struggled with their identity this year. the offense struggled and at one point defensive coordinator ken norton junior was fired. gotta give it to del rio though. what a class act....speaking and answering questions about his own firing after the team's latest loss. even appeared as though he was close to tears speaking after the game on sunday. (j.r.) the san francisco 49ers ended their

season yesterday on a pretty high note. in fact i'd say they ended it on a really high note with jimmy garoppolo. the team finished the season with the same record as the raiders but they ended it in style. the niners won their last five games of the season. after losing their frist nine games they won six of

seven games to end things. the trade the team made with the new england patriots looks like a winner. jimmy garoppolo is now being called the second coming of joe montana. they've also nicknamed him jimmy g and jimmy g-q.. but he will now become a free agent so we shall see the cost when it comes to keeping garoppolo. a franchise tag could be in his future as well. bottom line here though....there is excitement about this team. if you were able to watch the niners down the stretch you were able to see something special. guys playing together and guys winning football teams. the 49ers team awards... were announced today... and the big winner was receiver marquise goodwin... he won the most goodwin... he marquise was receiver the big winner today... and announced were team awards... the 49ers teams. football teams.
