#CAleg is back from recess with weeks left to decide the fate of #cannabis bills touching enforcement, youth ad rules, hemp, testing, beverages, vapes, tribal commerce, and the illicit market.

CaCOA's update breaks down the status of each: https://t.co/wQWpZxzw7G

Dale Gieringer, longtime freedom fighter with California NORML, said, “This type of gathering would have been unimaginable 30 years ago.”

It was inconceivable even six years ago. Insiders said it took years of cajoling local and state agencies to bring the Cannabis Experience to life.

Amy Jenkins, executive director of the California Cannabis Operators Association, recalled backstage how she had to help draft special legislation allowing events like the State Fair’s cannabis experience: https://t.co/0H61Hqo1AB

ICYMI: We recently submitted a coalition letter supporting #AB2537, signaling a shift in how California can compete with the illicit #cannabis market: https://t.co/dTNp5w7NnI

ICYMI: We recently submitted formal comments to the Department of Cannabis Control (DCC) on its proposed Track and Trace Updates: https://t.co/k4LkEj4jaF

CDTFA seized $168M in illicit cannabis and tobacco products since 2019, including $22M in just the first half of 2026.

CaCOA has pushed for this kind of retail enforcement for years. #AB2537 (Chen) would make it permanent state policy. #CAleg

@CAgovernor Thank you, Governor. CaCOA has pressed for exactly this kind of retail enforcement, most recently through our sponsorship of #CAleg's #AB2537 and #AB8. Glad to see #cannabis licensed operators getting a fairer shot: https://t.co/xISdaukDWP

"Legislators come and go. Governors come and go. Regulators come and go. The #cannabis industry must remain, and it is our collective responsibility to ensure that it does. Remaining relevant requires vigilance. And vigilance requires capacity: the people, resources, relationships, and expertise necessary to make our collective voice heard."

Licensed California cannabis retailers verify age, use child-resistant packaging, and follow strict safety standards. Illicit and unregulated hemp products do none of that.

This is what responsible retail looks like: https://t.co/Qfx3YmZLPV

🌿 Legalization should provide adults with safe, affordable access to tested cannabis products of known purity, potency, and quality.

Tax policies that price consumers out of regulated stores undermine that fundamental goal.

California's legal cannabis market won't fix itself. CaCOA fights for fair taxes, enforcement parity, and policies that actually fulfill the promise of Prop 64.

Your voice belongs in that fight. https://t.co/mLpmdK0TMq

CALIFORNIA. "Industry leaders continue to urge lawmakers to simplify regulations, reduce taxes, and create policies encouraging consumers to purchase from licensed retailers. Making legal #cannabis more affordable could do more to weaken the illicit market than enforcement alone." #drugspolicy https://t.co/nC8F1gclbP
