California Cannabis Market

California cannabis market pioneered the modern cannabis policy reform movement in 1996 when voters passed Proposition 215, the Compassionate Care Act. State voters approved Proposition 215, the law that made it legal for doctors to recommend cannabis to patients.

In 2015 Gov. Jerry Brown signed three bills that toughened regulations for medical cannabis businesses and sought standards for documentation and testing. The bills are known as the Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act (MMRSA). Collectively, the legislation also paved the way for medical cannabis businesses to turn a profit. The legislation is impacting marijuana business models in other ways. The laws have eliminated the idea of home-based dispensaries. The Act requires licenses for the cultivation, manufacture, distribution, transportation, laboratory testing, and sale of medical cannabis. Cannabis Cultivation Business

Though voters failed to approve adult use in 2010, they voted overwhelmingly in 2016 to make adult use legal in a state that represents the world’s sixth-largest economy.

Cannabis Licensing

On November 8, 2016, California voters have approved cannabis for recreational use.

On June 27, 2017, the legislature passed, and Governor Brown signed into law the Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MAUCRSA), which creates the general framework for the regulation of both commercial medicinal and adult-use (recreational) cannabis. Under MAUCRSA, the Bureau of Cannabis Control (Bureau) is the lead agency. The Bureau is charged with licensing, regulation, and enforcement of the following types of commercial cannabis businesses: distributors, retailers, microbusinesses, temporary cannabis events, and testing laboratories. The Manufactured Cannabis Safety Branch, a division of the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), is responsible for regulating and licensing manufacturers. CalCannabis Cultivation Licensing, a division of the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA), is responsible for licensing cultivators and implementing the Track-and-Trace system.

On January 1, 2018, the state began issuing licenses for commercial cannabis activity. Additionally, on January 1, 2018, two new cannabis taxes went into effect: a cultivation tax on all harvested cannabis that enters the commercial market and a 15 percent excise tax on the purchase of cannabis and cannabis products. Vertically integrated cannabis business

As of December 2022, the state’s three licensing authorities have issued 12,060 commercial cannabis licenses to cannabis businesses throughout the state of California, including 7,673 cultivators, 879 manufactures and 1,092 retailers, 487 non-storefront retailers, 1,246 distributors, 383 microbusinesses, 187 transporters, 68 event organizers and 45 testing laboratories.

CalCannabis Solves Representation Issue

AUTHOR: “Jordan Zoot.  “aBIZinaBOX Inc., CPA’s”

PUBLISHER:  CANNABIS LAW REPORT

CalCannabis Solves Representation Issue – approximately thirteen months ago [1], we discovered that agencies in California that regulate the cannabis industry [“CDFA-CalCannabis“, “CDPH-MCSB“, and “BCC“, collectively the “Regulators”] did not have a procedure for representation of applicants and licensees by counsel or other qualified representatives. We wrote a letter to the California Attorney the General Counsel for each of the Regulators. The response we received from CDPH was

I can address the procedures and future plans for the Manufactured Cannabis Safety Branch. I’ll let the Bureau and CDFA weigh in with responses from their particular offices.

The California Business and Professions Code, in section 26001(c), defines a cannabis license “applicant” as “an owner applying for a state license pursuant to this division.” If the member of your firm who is completing the application for the business is considered and disclosed as an owner, they may complete the application on behalf of the business. Because of this definition in state law, I do not anticipate any immediate changes to our system to allow a representative (non-owner) to complete the application.

We wrote a follow-up letter in June 2018 [2]. Two weeks ago, we reached out CalCannabis Director, Mr. Richard Parrott in a follow-up effort. This afternoon, we received an email from CalCannabis Staff Counsel which contained the following:

“The Department received your e-mail below and attached letter on February 5, 2019 and it was forwarded to me for response.  You ask how an applicant or licensee can appoint someone to communicate with the Department regarding their application or license.  The Department allows applicants to authorize delegates to communicate about a specific application or license.  An applicant or licensee can designate a contact person by making a request in writing identifying the contact and uploading the request to each applicable active application or license record.  Once verified by the Department, the delegated contact may speak with the Department on behalf of the applicant or licensee.”

We spoke to Staff Counsel and our understanding is that CalCannabis intends to disseminate a document the policy. We appreciate the confirmation that a procedure exists to ensure that applicants and licensee dealing with the Regulators. Director Parrott was incredibly helpful in getting to a solution.

Our next step is going to be to revisit BCC and CDPH-MCSB to highlight the need for a consistent representation procedure for all three Regulators. We would encourage the Regulators to consider the promulgation of guidelines for the qualification and conduct of representatives [3].

More Attention to Energy Usage as California's Recreational Cannabis Program Gets Set to Launch

More Attention to Energy Usage as California’s Recreational Cannabis Program Gets Set to Launch

If Colorado’s experience is any indication, energy use is expected to spike with the recent legalization of recreational marijuana in California, much as it did when data centers sprang up throughout the state.

For example, just two years after Colorado legalized recreational marijuana in 2012, grow houses consumed about 2 percent of the power supply in Denver alone.

According to a 2012 study…

// The Black Market For Weed Is Still Thriving In California (HBO) ... Recreational marijuana became legal in California in January. But for small-scale veteran growers like Jason Fleming, licensing backlog may shut his business down before he sells a single nug on California’s new legal market. The state already had a 22 year old medical marijuana industry that outlined a legal route for patients to purchase pot from licensed dispensaries, but left the path for the weed to the shops in what can only be described as a very, very, gray area. The Medical and Adult Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act changed all of that — now all growers have to be licensed, and their wares need to be tested in a lab. “We want to make sure that people are getting safe cannabis, that when they come to a licensed retail store. they know it’s safe to consume,” says Lori Ajax, Chief of the Bureau of Cannabis Control, which regulates distributors. Growers and consumers also pay new state and local taxes that can get as high as 45%. Despite the significantly higher overhead, Fleming is determined to make it in the new, legal marketplace. He’s complied with licensing law by purchasing a growhouse for $25,000 a month, and filled out all of his paperwork. But Sonoma County has kept him waiting for local approval for six months. Without that, he cannot begin growing, so there’s no money to be made. “If this keeps continuing then we're going to have to operate this place as a black market grow to continue to pay for the legal grow,” Fleming told VICE News. Richard Parrott is the Chief of CalCannabis, the state agency that licenses medical and recreational cultivators, is familiar with stories like Jason’s. He told VICE News that he had heard of backlogs of applications with local authorities, but there wasn’t much he could do about it. “The state doesn't have any purview over the locals,” he said. To stay afloat, Jason can use his growhouses that are already up and running to sell to medical dispensaries. He can also sell some of his product at seshes, a type of underground marketplace that operates in the last remaining gray areas of the state’s medical marijuana laws. But the costs of getting his business off the ground demand more than a flimsy financial life vest. As time passes, an emerging black market fueled by consumers who can’t bear the brunt of the new taxes has come knocking.

State Of California Officially Promotes Marijuana Industry With New Campaign

The state of California is launching an educational outreach campaign meant to promote the marijuana industry and provide resources to help farmers secure and maintain cannabis cultivation licenses.

The California Department of Food and Agriculture’s (CDFA) CalCannabis Cultivation Licensing division is spearheading the “This is California Cannabis” campaign, which involves community events and workshops to inform residents about licensing opportunities within the market and technical assistance they provide.

“CDFA is committed to the success of our state’s commercial cannabis cultivators,” Karen Ross, the secretary of the department, said in a press release. “’This is California Cannabis’ celebrates the passion and hard work of licensed cannabis growers and highlights how we’re all working together to protect and promote the health, safety and quality of the industry.”

This is California Cannabis.

California is home to some of the most resilient and dedicated cultivator communities.#growwithCA#WeAreProud#ThisIsCaliforniaCannabis#CaliforniaCannabis pic.twitter.com/yWGfUaaxUr

— CalCannabis (@cal_cannabis) September 2, 2020

Another part of the outreach effort is a quarterly newsletter that will feature profiles of licensed cultivators, policy updates and tips. The department started by publishing three profiles of farmers based in Humboldt County, Santa Barbara County and Monterey County.

They also released several companion videos showcasing the farmers and highlighting how CDFA supports the industry and works with businesses to ensure that they’re in compliance.

“To live in Humboldt and to grow weed, it’s an amazing life,” CaliGardens owner Spencer Sanborn is shown saying in one of the state-funded videos. “We care about the people around us. If that can make it through, I’ll feel like I have succeeded.”

“You get to be a whole company. To be able to build out a whole team because you’re not trying to hide things is massive,” Christina DiPaci of Caliber Farms out of Monterey County said.

“We’re proud of California’s vibrant cannabis cultivator community,” Richard Parrott, director of CDFA’s CalCannabis Cultivation Licensing Division, said. “California is known for growing the best cannabis in the world and our licensed cultivators are leading the way with innovative practices and environmental sustainability.”

What makes the campaign unique is that it’s a state body not just providing resources to regulate the marijuana market but proactively reaching out and promoting the industry.

During California’s legislative session that ended this week, lawmakers approved bills to reform cannabis tax policy, promote marijuana business access to the banking system and create a state-regulated appellation program that’s designed to clarify where cannabis products are cultivated. A proposal to regulate hemp and CBD failed, however.

Meanwhile, a federal court recently ruled that California regulators must comply with a Drug Enforcement Administration subpoena demanding information about certain marijuana businesses as part of its investigation into potential illegal distribution of cannabis oil from Mexico.

New Post has been published on https://supremekalm.com/breaking-california-cannabis-agencies-announce-license-feedeferral/

BREAKING: California Cannabis Agencies Announce License Fee Deferral

On May 14, 2020, the three California cannabis agencies, the Bureau of Cannabis Control, Department of Food and Agriculture CalCannabis Division, and Department of Public Health’s Manufactured Cannabis Safety Branch announced that licensed cannabis businesses with “licenses expiring between now through June 30, 2020 may request 60-day deferrals of their license fee payments.”

The announcement notes that the fee deferral program is a form of COVID-19 relief, and even notes that although cannabis has been deemed essential by the State of California and cannabis businesses have been allowed to keep operating, those same businesses have not been able to seek federal economic assistance.

With respect to the actual fee deferral, the announcement notes:

The Bureau of Cannabis Control (BCC), California Department of Food & Agriculture (CDFA) and California Department of Public Health (CDPH) will begin accepting requests for fee relief immediately. License fee deferrals may be requested by those with a state cannabis license expiring between now and June 30, 2020. With a deferral, the license fee will be due 60 days from the date of the license expiration. Refunds will not be given for fees that have already been paid.

In addition to this financial relief from the state cannabis licensing authorities, cannabis businesses may be eligible for tax assistance offered by the California Department of Tax & Fee Administration, and the Franchise Tax Board. For more information on tax relief and other small business resources, visit theState of California’s COVID-19 Response website.

A licensee who is unable to comply with a licensing requirement due to the pandemic may submit a disaster relief request to their respective licensing authority. To provide immediate assistance to licensees, licensing authorities have been providing relief from certain regulatory provisions unrelated to fees since the time of the first stay-at-home orders.

We are happy to see the state providing economic assistance to cannabis businesses, especially here where license fees can be so high. In fact, back towards the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak, I wrote about how the state should extend licenses for certain businesses. Fee deferral isn’t exactly the same but it does provide certain cannabis businesses with assistance during these hectic times. Please stay tuned to the Canna Law Blog for more developments on California cannabis and COVD-19.

WHY THE BLACK MARKET FOR WEED IS STILL THRIVING IN CALIFORNIA Small-scale, veteran growers like Jason Fleming could be shut down by bureaucracy before they sell a single nug on California’s new legal weed market. Recreational marijuana became legal in California in January, but the state already had a 22-year-old medical marijuana industry that outlined a legal route for patients to purchase pot for licensed dispensaries. But how the weed got from growers to those dispensaries was shrouded in what can only be described as a very grey area. The Medical and Adult Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act changed all that — now growers must be licensed and have their wares tested in a lab, which means a much higher overheard and a licensing backlog. To stay in business, some growers have turned to the state's resurging black market, fueled by consumers who can't bear the brunt of new taxes as high as 45 percent. "I get a lot of black market clients that I never had before, asking me to do stuff on the black market now," Fleming told VICE News. "Do I want to do it? No, it's not what I want to do. I want to stick to the legal market." So far, Fleming has complied with licensing law by purchasing a growhouse for $25,000 a month and filled out all of his paperwork. But Sonoma County has kept him waiting for local approval for six months. Without that, he can't start growing — or making any money. As chief of CalCannabis, the state agency that licenses medical and recreational cultivators, Richard Parott is familiar with stories like Fleming's. He told VICE News that he'd heard about backlogs of applications with local authorities. But there's not much he can do.

California Agencies Release Proposed Permanent Marijuana Rules

Last Friday, July 13, 2018, all three agencies overseeing California’s implementation of the Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (“MAUCRSA“) dropped proposed permanent regulations that will eventually replace the readopted emergency regulations that are active now. For the text of those proposed regulations go here, here, and here. Importantly, these regulations are just proposed; they are not in effect and they won’t be in effect until after the 45-day public comment period so long as the agencies move to adopt them without changes.

The proposed rules don’t make massive changes to the existing regime. In fact, many of these rule additions and clarifications should have already been in the mix as fundamental, common sense standards for operation in line with former federal enforcement priorities. More than anything else, these proposed rules represent technical fixes to pretty large gaps in the existing emergency rules.

All three California agencies tasked with regulating cannabis are now finally on the same page about the disclosure and vetting of “owners” versus “financial interest holders” and, importantly, if an “owner” is an entity only “the chief executive officer and members of the board of directors of the entity shall be considered owners.” In addition, the agencies clarified that none of them will issue temporary licenses after December 31, 2018. This was already in MAUCRSA, but the agencies clarified that temporary licenses with an expiration date after January 1, 2019, will be valid only through that date with no additional 90 day extensions. This is significant since a temporary license is the only way licensees can operate post-local approval but before receiving their annual license. Further, all three agencies are addressing issues regarding CEQA compliance prior to licensure and responses to disaster relief, and medicinal and adult-use licensees can still do business with each other to get product to market. Each agency has also upped the required details on annual licensing submissions relative to standard operating procedures (SOPs) and plans.

The highlights of the more specific significant changes/additions/clarifications from the three agencies are:

Department of Food and Agriculture, CalCannabis Cultivation Licensing (oversees cultivators and processors):

Individuals and entities will still only be allowed to have one Type 3 medium license, and there’s still no limit on the number of Type 1 or 2 cultivation licenses anyone can have (other than those limitations set forth by cities and counties, if any).

Outdoor licensees won’t be able to use use any light deprivation techniques.

Licensees are prohibited from accepting returns of cannabis plants or nonmanufactured cannabis products after transferring possession of cannabis plants or nonmanufactured cannabis to another licensee after testing is performed.

Nurseries can now develop and maintain dedicated R&D areas in their facilities.

Department of Public Health, Manufactured Cannabis Safety Branch (oversees manufacturers): 

CDPH-MCSB implemented some notable changes to their definitions of certain cannabis terms. For example, the term “concentrate” would now include inhaled products (such as shatter, dab, or wax) and “edible cannabis product” and would include “a cannabis product that resembles traditional foods or beverages and cannabis products that dissolve or disintegrate in the mouth.” They’ve also proposed the terms “infused pre-roll,” which would mean “a pre-roll into which cannabis concentrate or other ingredients have been incorporated” and “orally-consumed concentrate” to mean “cannabis concentrates that are consumed by mouth and are not otherwise considered edibles.”

You can’t manufacture, prepare, package, or label any products other than cannabis products at a licensed premises.  “Cannabis products” also includes packaged cannabis, pre-rolls, and products that do not contain cannabis, but are otherwise identical to the cannabis-containing product, and are intended for use as samples.

You can’t manufacture, prepare, package, or label cannabis products in a location operating as a retail food establishment or as a processed food registrant, and you can’t do the same in any location licensed by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.

Edible potency limitations are staying the same (no more than 10 mg of THC per serving and no more than 100 mg per package), but “orally-dissolving” edibles can have up to 500 milligrams THC per package, if: (1) The cannabis product consists of discrete servings of no more than 10 milligrams THC per piece; (2) The cannabis product is labeled “FOR MEDICAL USE ONLY;” and (3) The cannabis product is only available for sale to a medicinal-use customer.

Use of the word organic (or any variation of that word) on any product label is now going to be false or misleading unless the National Organic Program (the federal regulatory program governing organic food) “authorizes organic designation and certification for cannabis and the cannabis or cannabis product meets the requirements for such designation and certification.”

There are now increased packaging and labeling requirements for pre rolls and dried flower, and the labeling requirements generally for all products have increased.

Child-resistant packaging would be eliminated, but tamper-evident packaging would still be required for cannabis products.

Bureau of Cannabis Control (oversees retailers, delivery only retail, microbusinesses, distributors, and labs):

Making up your own SOPs would no longer be a requirement for the annual license. Instead, the state would have you input all of your SOP information into pre-established forms.

You won’t be able to pump in the smell of cannabis to your licensed premises via a vaporizer device or diffuser.

The state is cracking down on cannabis giveaways and generally getting stricter on licensee advertising attractive to children.

“Limited access area” security now applies to all licensees, not to just retailers.

On rejections and returns, licensees now have to reject whole shipments and they can’t just pick and choose inventory they want to keep from those shipments.

Distributors are receiving more clarity in their rules such that they can now package prerolls but can’t store live plants, they can transport tested product to more than one retailer, distributor, or microbusiness, and they can perform just quality assurance reviews of product if another distributor has already had that product tested.

Retail exit packaging has to be resealable, child-resistant, and opaque.

Statewide delivery would be permitted regardless of jurisdiction. The specific rule states that “A delivery employee may deliver to any jurisdiction within the State of California.” Given the hostility of some cities and counties to any form of commercial cannabis activity, or those cities that require you to have local approval to deliver (like Los Angeles), this is bound to cause conflict between the state and the locals.

The 45-day comment period has begun, so get your comments in now or forever hold your peace in California as the regulatory landscape continues to shift slowly but surely.
