The Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA), adopted by the voters of the State of California in November 2016, decriminalized nonmedicinal cannabis and established a regulatory system for nonmedicinal cannabis businesses in California. The Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MAUCRSA), enacted by the California Legislature in June 2017, established a comprehensive set of laws regulating both individual and commercial medicinal and nonmedicinal cannabis activity throughout the State of California. Under California law, local jurisdictions are authorized to either permit or prohibit the operation of cannabis businesses within their boundaries.
The city now desires to permit, license, and fully regulate commercial cannabis businesses and commercial cannabis activity within the city.
