Cannabis Regulation, The Path Forward After Prop 64

California state assembly discusses Prop 64 / AUMA rollout in 2018 with officials from Bureau of Medical Cannabis Regulation, Department of Consumer Affairs, Justice Department, Department of Public Health, Department of Food and Agriculture, California Highway Patrol, California Cannabis Industry Association, California Growers Association, and others.

Joint Informational Hearing on Prop 64 / AUMA – Assembly Committee on Business and Professions (Chair, Rudy Salas), Assembly Committee on Health (Chair, Jim Wood) and Assembly Committee on Agriculture (Chair Anna Caballero).

Editors Note: I thought it would be useful to cut the three hour policy discussion on California’s Prop 64 rollout in January 2018 into discreet segments and put them on youtube to make them accessible to more people.
