Let me get this straight. So if the majority of voters for FOR legalizing marijuana, anybody who is 21 and up can legally buy and use marijuana in California? That is 100%? Are there any catches?

California voters believe that our laws criminalizing cannabis (marijuana) have failed. According to a recent statewide Field Poll, a majority, 56 percent support legalizing cannabis.
The time for reform is now.
The Control and Tax Cannabis Initiative will:
• Control cannabis like alcohol: Allow adults 21 and older in California to possess up to one ounce of cannabis
• Give local governments the ability to tax the sale of cannabis to adults 21 and older
• Generate billions of dollars in revenue to fund what matters most in California: jobs, healthcare, public safety, state parks, roads, transportation, and more
This is according to the taxcannabis.org website.
Basically, it would legalize cannabis for purchase or growth for those who are 21 years or older. It would allow the carrying of up to 1oz of cannabis (about 28.3 grams) at any time and in any county, however, this law would give the liberty to any town or city to legalize growing or purchasing within their borders — you could, however, still have up to 1oz on you, that umbrella law would super-cede any local law.
Annual revenues from legalization could bring more than 1 billion dollars to the state. The number one cash crop of California is marijuana, number two is grapes. We don’t see any profit from this crop because of the law, once legalized the revenue would start coming in. If the law is passed cannabis would be legalized instantly so you would be able to purchase or grow within local restrictions, the next day.
