PROP 32 IS UP FOR REVIEW. WE NEED YOUR HELP TO ENSURE CANNABIS REFORM.

AGENDA

OUR 2022 LEGISLATIVE AGENDA
New Marijuana Business License Category for Distributors

Distributors are a key stakeholder in this industry, and they should be represented in licensing discussions.

Cap on Marijuana Business Licenses (Excluding Dispensaries)

In the “Green Rush” cash grab, it is important to protect early adopters from larger, poaching companies.

Solving “Seed to Sale” challenges, and / or fixing METRC

The verticals of this young industry still face regulatory challenges. We want a simplified legal environment for integrating businesses from seed to sale. The technology piece of this business needs updating, software like METRC needs to improve so we can track the plant throughout the seed to sale process.

Strengthen Regulation of Testing Labs

This is critical for protecting both patients and the labs who are already doing their due diligence from corner cutters and “half-steppers”. Regulatory strength here would be a hallmark of a serious, maturing industry.

Direction & Resources for Efforts to Counter Illegal Marijuana Grows

And not just an unlicensed person growing in their garage…we need legal protection against large land grabs and unregulated price gougers who side skirting testing.

Better Regulation of Agricultural Pesticide / Herbicide Levels and Practices

We need to even the playing field for our growers who are doing things the right way while protecting both the land and our patients.

Establish Insurance Payment Bonds to Reduce Use of Cash-Only Transactions in the Marijuana Industry

Cash-only transactions do not signal serious, mature industry. They are frowned upon in regulatory environments.

Creation of Incentives to Research Commercial Use of Hemp and Cannabis

Researchers lead to some of our greatest opportunities, but must be protected from the need to churn out profits in the same way as scientists in other fields.

Establish OMMA as a Free-Standing Agency

OMMA should be independent from controlling stakeholders.

Questions, we need to pressure state legislators to pass this into law.

Limited patient access was never a permanent solution. Instead of relying on State.

Legalize Home Delivery & Dispensary Drive-Thrus

In the world of online ordering and app delivery service, our industry suffers from undue regulation here.

WHAT ELSE WE'RE WORKING ON
RELATIONSHIPS WITH PURPOSE
At times, the arena of legislators, regulators, and state officials can feel like an ivory tower. But these are real people, with real concerns. We are building relationships with them, while combining your input with our expertise, to provide a stronger, more meaningful industry voice.
