Have you read the bill? I got through some of it. To sum it up, they are going to do whatever they want when this is passed. It was eerily similar to a North African Health Ministry bill I recently reviewed.
Nothing like the great state of California creating a black hemp market…
There is an out of state exemption. Best to utilize your excellent weather (minus the fires) to produce quality. Just don’t sell your product in Cali.
It might be worth looking at buying or leasing a small property in a bordering state to obtain a hemp permit. Export your products over the border for safe keeping.
I have 3 hemp permits in the southeast, it’s helps more than you’d think.
Problem is i ship alot of wholesale raw cannabinoids and retail products that I produce ( non inhaleable) overseas.
They are saying everything coming in from other states has to be vetted. They have not said how. I think they will bury us in paperwork and fees/ compliance costs. But it sounds manageable for now. The smoke vape guys are clearly the number one target.
I am kinda close to Nevada so i might just pull
Permits there.
@shattertramp I’ve read the bill and work with FDA/DEA/EPA. It’s going to be interesting. All cbd and hemp if sold in CA will now have to pass rec testing standards to begin with on top of lots more. Other states or countries will have to have CA inspectors check production for GMP before they can sell into the state like FDA inspects India based or China based factories. Much more also…
@PanaceaPlantSciences thank you for the input, I know we all expected some form of regs it will be interesting to see the extent of them and how we can adjust accordingly
