The game has changed for cannabis and hemp businesses in California. On October 9, 2015, Gov. Brown signed into law the Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (“MCRSA”). Less than one year later, in November 2016, Proposition 64 was approved, the Adult Use of Marijuana Act “AUMA”, legalizing and governing the recreational or “adult use” market.
Thereafter the Medical and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (“MAUCRSA”) codified the regulations of both prior legislation. Today, MAUCRSA (aka SB94) governs the cannabis and hemp industry in California along with the regulations set forth by the Bureau of Cannabis Control, Dept. of Public Health and Dept. of Food and Agriculture – the three licensing agencies tasked with issuing cannabis business license in the State.
January 2018, California began issuing licenses to cannabis businesses thought the state that had already acquired a local permit from their city or local jurisdiction. Let Manzuri Law advise your business and navigate permitting, licensing and compliance for your cannabis business.
