California’s Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MCRSA) and Building a Medical Cannabis Facility in California

California’s Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MCRSA) can often be difficult to navigate, as it includes provisions for six separate licenses, with twelve different license types to guide different legal activities pertaining to building a medical cannabis facility in California. CalCann prides itself on the work and expertise of the founders, Aaron Herzberg  and Chris Francy, in helping those building a medical cannabis facility in California understand and interpret California’s Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MCRSA) to ensure complete compliance.

Here are some of the components of California’s Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MCRSA) that CalCann is able to help those building a medical cannabis facility in California with:

• Vertical Integration. Since many in the legal marijuana industry work across different areas of cultivation and manufacturing, CalCann can help with the often difficult process of vertically integrating different business streams due to licensing restrictions. We help businesses who are building a medical cannabis facility in California apply for the proper licensing to ensure that they can legally run all business streams within the provisions of MCRSA.
• Grandfathering. Facilities who are already operating within local ordinances may continue to do so past January 2018 until their licenses otherwise approved or denied. We will work with both existing businesses and those building a new California medical cannabis facility to ensure that they are MCRSA compliant, confirming all required licensing is in place for the full implementation of MCRSA under Proposition 64.
• Application Qualifications. The process to apply for MCRSA licensing is quite rigorous, requiring fingerprints to be sent to the Department of Justice, as well as other provisions required to prove that you can legally cultivate or sell marijuana or marijuana products. We help ensure that individuals get the appropriate licensing required for the type of marijuana related activity, and guide our clients through the process of the application.
• Regulations on Cultivation, Deliveries, and Transportation. MCRSA has some very strict guidelines in terms of cultivation, delivering and transporting marijuana and marijuana products, which those who are working within the legal marijuana industry must understand. We help our clients who are building a medical cannabis facility in California understand each regulation to ensure that their processes for cultivation and transportation are legally compliant.

There are a lot of specifics contained in California’s Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MCRSA); enough that it is easy to get lost in the regulations when building a new medical cannabis facility in California.

Aaron and Chris know MCRSA, as well as the other regulatory structures that have been put in place around the legalization of marijuana, and are excellent guides for their clients in ensuring total legal compliance.
