Nearly three years ago, Proposition 64 marked the beginning of California’s three state cannabis licensing authorities: The Bureau of Cannabis Control, the California Department of Food and Agriculture, and the California Department of Public Health. Each licensing authority was tasked with establishing new government programs that would shift the nation’s first medical cannabis market created by Proposition 215 to arguably the world’s largest fully-regulated commercial cannabis industry.
In an effort to continuously improve these cannabis programs, and with support from Governor Gavin Newsom, the Office of Innovation under the California Health and Human Services Agency is assessing the online licensing and complaints portals used by the three state licensing authorities. To fully assess these online portals, the Office of Innovation is requesting your feedback.
CalCannabis Cultivation Licensing is a division of the California Department of Food and Agriculture. For more information on the state’s commercial cannabis cultivation licensing process, please visit
