Overview
This bill allows licensed microbusinesses with an M-license to directly ship certain medicinal cannabis or medicinal cannabis products to patients in California, provided they meet specific requirements. These include shipping via a common carrier, limiting the amount shipped per day to possession limits, and ensuring the recipient is 21 or older. The bill also amends the Medicinal Cannabis Patients’ Right of Access Act to prohibit local jurisdictions from enacting regulations that would restrict this type of shipment, and authorizes free medicinal cannabis shipments by licensed microbusinesses to patients in compliance with existing regulations. It also addresses potential costs associated with local jurisdictions implementing these changes.
