Welcome to the
California Cannabis Industry Association
California's Collective Voice for the Cannabis Industry
Our Mission
To promote the growth of a responsible and legitimate cannabis industry and work for a favorable social, economic, and legal environment for our industry in the state of California.
The California Cannabis Industry Association was founded on the principle of strength in numbers. The thousands of California businesses involved in our state-legal cannabis industry represent a significant economic force. As the industry's most influential state trade association, CCIA works everyday to ensure our burgeoning business sector is represented in a professional and coordinated way at the state level.
Industry in Action - February 16, 2023
The Legislature’s deadline for introducing bills was February 17, 2023. A total of 2,632 bills were introduced, representing the highest number in more than a decade and the third highest in the past 17 years.
As of today, CCIA is tracking 32 cannabis bills, as well as a handful of non-cannabis bills that may have an impact on the legal cannabis industry. Please note, this is not a complete list, as a number of bills introduced are in “spot” form, meaning that they make no substantive statutory changes. In fact, we are aware of two additional bills, yet to be identified, that will impact on the cannabis industry once they are amended. The first, is an enforcement-related bill being explored by Assembly Member David Alvarez. The second bill, by Assembly Member Greg Wallis, will direct the Department of Cannabis Control to provide real-time access for local governments to access track and trace data.
The Benefits of Membership
Your business's participation with the California Cannabis industry Association means being represented alongside hundreds of other responsible industry leaders committed to bringing about a legitimate and professional cannabis business community.
During the legislative process CCIA has been extremely successful at building coalition partners outside of the cannabis reform movement. This includes medical organizations, law enforcement, labor unions, local and state government associations, and environmental protection groups. Together we create a coalition focused on responsible policy and regulations at the state capitol.
In addition to shaping the legal and regulatory framework for California's emerging cannabis industry, CCIA membership also provides a statewide platform to promote your business while offering you valuable discounts from participating cannabis industry partners.
