I'm originally from southern cali but currntly live in Northern cali

Socal is better weather all around
you can walk around in a T-shirt and shorts all year long, it stays pretty much in the 70-80's during the winter/fall sometimes dipping as low as 60's during the summer, if you are near a beach, its GREAT weather all the time, if you go a little inland, it can get quite hot, in the 100's at times

The marijuana policy is socal seems to be a little more professional, but also very pricey. I went to a club in venice beach and saw an oz of some really effective looking medicine for over 700$ which is ridiculous imo.

Norcal has awesome weather during the summer, its nice and sunny out and yet a very nice chilling breeze. I guess I should point out that im talking about the San Francisco area. The clubs are abundant, and the prices are great, especially if you order over the phone for a delivery.(as the clubs that own a place to sell their product have to pay for rent and that brings up the price of the product)

The marijuana policy up here seems to be stronger, cops don't care nearly as much as they do in socal. I see lots of people walking around smoking pot on the streets. Which kind of irks me a bit.(Less police to enforce laws???) But the prices are much better than socal for the same quality.

With that said, california is known to have crazy weather.

Yesterday it was sunny in the high 80's and today its foggy and raining slightly. two days ago it was windy as hell.
don't ask me idk the weather can't make up it's mind around here.

hope that helps
