In California it is unlawful for anyone to carry a predominantly white cane unless they are at least partially blind. I dont see it as much of a stretch to extend that law to glasses like these.

Shit. I'm in California and colorblind, which I suspect isn't blind enough to count, but is blind enough to buy the wrong cane.
