California Passes Major Cannabis Bills
News summary

The California state legislature has passed two significant cannabis bills that could reshape the industry. Assembly Bill 1775 would allow the creation of Amsterdam-style cannabis cafes where patrons can consume cannabis, order food, and enjoy live performances. This bill aims to support the legal cannabis market struggling against illegal competitors by creating a more social and welcoming atmosphere. Assembly Bill 1111 permits small cannabis growers to sell directly to consumers at state-organized farmers markets, with on-site consumption allowed. These measures, however, face potential hurdles as Governor Gavin Newsom, who previously vetoed a similar cannabis cafe bill, must still sign them into law. The American Cancer Society has expressed concerns about AB 1775, arguing it conflicts with existing smoke-free policies.
