Meth is common on the west coast, but crime really isn't that bad in Nor-Cal once you get north of the bay area(Oakland, San Fransico, San Jose, etc).
I'd suggest checking out Mendocino county, Humbolt county, or if you can stand some hot summers I'd check out the north valley around Redding. Get away from the big cities, rent/real estate is rediculous in the bay area, get out to the smaller cities, further away from the bay.
All and all, I'd suggest moving to Oregon, violent crime is low here, and less than a ounce brings no jail time, and we also have a medical marijuana program here, but not as good as Californias in many ways.
