California Cannabis Legalization Initiative

The California Cannabis Legalization Initiative is a proposed law that aims to regulate the cultivation, distribution, and sale of marijuana within the state. It seeks to establish a legal framework for a commercial cannabis industry, including licensing requirements, taxation, and safety standards. The initiative also intends to ensure social equity by providing opportunities for communities disproportionately affected by past drug laws. Overall, it aims to regulate cannabis similarly to alcohol, transitioning from an illegal activity to a legal, taxed industry, while maintaining public safety and public health standards.
