The Legislature finds and declares the following:(a) In November 1996, the voters approved Proposition 215, which decriminalized the use of medicinal cannabis in California.(b) In 2015, California enacted three billsChapter 332 of the Statutes of 2015 (Senate Bill 643), Chapter 688 of the Statutes of 2015 (Assembly Bill 243), and Chapter 689 of the Statutes of 2015 (Assembly Bill 266)that together established a comprehensive state regulatory framework for the licensing and enforcement of cultivation, manufacturing, retail sale, transportation, storage, delivery, and testing of medicinal cannabis in California. This regulatory framework is known as the Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MCRSA).(c) In November 2016, the voters approved Proposition 64, the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA). Under Proposition 64, adults 21 years of age or older may legally grow, possess, and use cannabis for nonmedicinal purposes, with certain restrictions. As of January 1, 2018, AUMA makes it legal under state law to sell and distribute cannabis through a regulated business.(d) The intent of MCRSA and AUMA was to ensure a comprehensive regulatory system that takes production and sales of cannabis away from an illegal market and curtails the illegal diversion of cannabis from California into other states or countries.(e) In June 2017, the Legislature passed Senate Bill 94 (Chapter 27 of the Statutes of 2017) that integrated MCRSA with AUMA to create the Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MAUCRSA), contained in Division 10 (commencing with Section 26000) of the Business and Professions Code.
