DIRECT TO PATIENT SHIPPING FOR MEDICAL PATIENTS IN CALIFORNIA - CLOSER TO BECOMING LAW 4/29/25

Описание: Today, AB 1332 passed its first committee hearing with all YES votes, and with support from many of the California unions and other cannabis trade groups! While this is just a first step towards becoming law, this was a good day!

This bill is very narrow - only for seriously ill medical patients - but it will make access to medical cannabis products such as natural infusion tinctures, natural flower, and RSO oil, much more easily accessible for cannabis Medical Patients and their caregivers.

Specific small licensed cannabis operators (Microbusinesses with outdoor cultivation and non-volatile extraction manufacturing) would be able to ship these medical products directly to qualified patients' homes within the state of California... this would be the first law in the nation to allow this!

Why is this needed? Because their is an access crisis in California for medical cannabis products. As recreational cannabis has taken over the industry, medical cannabis products have become nearly impossible to find in many parts of the state. This is not the fault of dispensaries, as it makes no sense for brick and mortar dispensaries to carry specialized medical products for only a very small number of patients in their geographic area. Medical patients are dispersed throughout the state, so the only way to effectively and efficiently reach them is through direct shipping - makes sense!

Today has been a good day for the legal medical cannabis movement. We have a long journey ahead of us before AB 1332 becomes law, but today was a very good step!
