area locations are seeing the most pot sales..... and which are taking their time in rolling out the legislation. while some cannabis dispensaries in oakland and san francsico allow customers to toke up.....there are many places in the bay area still without shops that sell what's now legal in the state to consume. that's because proposition 64 approved last november allowed for each city and county to put their own rules in place.....and that is making for a slow rollout of the new law in some spots. 54:26 writing a thoughtful and careful ordinance that really explains what a jurisstiction wants to do does take some time according the the california tax and fee administration there's been 250 million taxable transactions in the nine county bay area during the first six months that recreational weed became legal. here is a map that shows how some are seeing brisk business.....the local top seller of pot is the city of san francisco which had 83 million dollars in cannabis sales.....while the county of napa has not had a single taxable pot transaction.that might change next year....since the city of napa is in the process of allowing

medicinal dispensaries in town...and american canyon plans to issue a limited number of permits for commercial businesses like grow houses in their industrial area. and while the county allows for pot delivery and for people to grow their own....the ban on commerical cannabis businesses put in place right after prop 64 became law remains in effect.

you grow cannabis next to wine grapes at all benicia in nearby solano county recently rolled back their ban on commerical pot...several dispensaries are vying to be one of two permitted in the town of 28-thousand people, in areas away from their quaint downtown....but there is no limit on the number of cannabis cultivators, manufactorers, distrubitors or testing facilities that will be allowed in their industrial section. 5300 we know there's a black market...for cannabis anyway and if we wanted to try to get ahead of it one of the things to do was to regulate it and be very scrupulous in who we invited in and allowed in and so we are in that process nowthe vice mayor says voters will decide this november whether or not to allow the city council to tax those businesses...using the money generated to help pay for services like police and fire departments and libraries...because right now....57:46 clearly we need additonal sources of revenueif measure e passes....the city council late november just how high to set that tax rate....to help them raise the funds they need.....but not so steep to those cannabis businesses from moving in. maureen kelly kron4 news news

more about her motivations but she says she's not doing any interviews at this time. we also reached out to the san francisco 49ers who say they are also not commenting at this time.

on twitter, by halftime, there was a blue checkmark next to his name. during the offseason, he's worked with fellow southern miss alum brett favre... and he had some motivation from the packers legend with a pregame text. "he just told me how proud of me he was. he sent me a message before the game. he said, 'nopressure. just be yourself,' and that's what i tried to do before the game and during the game. so, justtried to stay calm out there and lead the offense. obviously, we got some veterans on the o-line, so it was just a very collective effort."how'd you sleep last night?"i slept good, except i woke up about ery hour. but, those hour periods were great. no, i slept prettygood. no, the marriott - spent plenty of nights there." " there's a lot on his plate coming in and being his first time in a real nflgame, non-preseason, started off real well, was very poised. got the guys in and out of the huddle anddid a helluva job." on the other side of the conversation, you just saw the video of the raider defense being attacked...

but the offense had some serious problems as welll... the 49ers got to derek carr 7-times...and never let him get comfortable, holding him to zero touchdown passes. the raiders now 1-and-7... and before the game, jon gruden made headlines saying that he's received calls from plenty of players that are dying to be raiders. afterwards, he said he wants people to be excited about the team's future. i know it's not looking pretty right now, but i've heard a lot of negativity over the last six orseven months and rightfully so. but, we're going to build a championship football team here and i knowa lot of people, as players, as fans and just in general want to be a part of this."" i think going forward, we build that trust and see who really wants to be a part of this. you see who really wants tobe here. who really wants to turn this thing around? who really wants to do the hard things that nobodyelse wants to do? it's easy to say, 'mmm, i'll go do it somewhere else.' that's easy. i think we figurethat out, and i think that going forward we find out who's a raider" finally tonight, regardless if you are a 49ers or raiders fan, both can come
