Other times, I carry bills because I become aware of particular prob- lems,” Brownley said. “I’m carrying a pretty heavy load.

  • Legalizing Marijuana and Abating Environmental Harm: an Overblown Promise?
    Legalizing Marijuana and Abating Environmental Harm: An Overblown Promise? Michael Vitiello* Written in advance of the passage of Proposition 64 (legalizing recreational use of marijuana in California), this article explores why legalization of marijuana is now quite likely. It also identifies arguments made by proponents in support of legalization, including the need to abate environmental harm caused by illegal production of marijuana in pristine areas and elsewhere where marijuana has become a major cash crop. Specifically, the article examines the report produced by The Blue Ribbon Commission organized by Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom and Proposition 64’s provisions addressing environmental concerns. It questions whether Proposition can deliver on the promise to abate the environmental harm caused by marijuana production. In closing, the article focuses on one source for optimism, an increasing number of young marijuana producers interested in cooperation with state actors to comply with the law, especially with environmental regulations.

  • Review of California Municipal Marijuana Business Taxation
    Marijuana Business Taxation Adoption In California Review of California Municipal Marijuana Business Taxation: Background, Case Studies, and Strategies for Adoption Jordan Harrison Kevin Miller Adam Patterson Evan Xu San Francisco State University Master in Public Administration PA715 Spring 2017 Dr. Sheldon Gen May 23, 2017 1 Marijuana Business Taxation Adoption In California ABSTRACT Proposition 64 – the Control, Tax and Regulate Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA) – took effect on November 9, 2016. The Act included the following main elements: ● Decriminalized recreational (non-medical) use for persons over 21 ● Decriminalized personal cultivation of up to six plants ● Reduced state penalties for marijuana-related crimes ● Established state system for licensing and taxation of marijuana businesses ● Allowed local regulation, prohibition, and taxation of marijuana businesses The Medical Cannabis Safety and Regulation Act (MCSRA) established the Bureau of Medical Cannabis Regulation to license and regulate marijuana businesses under the MCSRA. With Proposition 64, this new bureau was renamed the Bureau of Marijuana Control (Bureau) and will license both medical and recreational marijuana businesses starting January 1, 2018 (Bureau of Marijuana Control [BOMC], 2017b). Both acts defer land use authority to local agencies regarding if and where to allow marijuana businesses. In addition to setting state excises tax rates, the AUMA grants cities the ability to establish local excise taxes on marijuana businesses and exempts medical marijuana from the state and local general sales tax that applies to most goods and services. This paper will provide a brief summary of the regulation of recreational marijuana under the AUMA, medical marijuana under MCSRA, and an explanation of the new state excise taxes on both medical and recreational marijuana created with Proposition 64.

  • Gangs Beyond Borders
    Gangs Beyond Borders California and the Fight Against Transnational Organized Crime March 2014 Kamala D. Harris California Attorney General Gangs Beyond Borders California and the Fight Against Transnational Organized Crime March 2014 Kamala D. Harris California Attorney General Message from the Attorney General California is a leader for international commerce. In close proximity to Latin America and Canada, we are a state laced with large ports and a vast interstate system. California is also leading the way in economic development and job creation. And the Golden State is home to the digital and innovation economies reshaping how the world does business. But these same features that benefit California also make the state a coveted place of operation for transnational criminal organizations. As an international hub, more narcotics, weapons and humans are trafficked in and out of California than any other state. The size and strength of California’s economy make our businesses, financial institutions and communities lucrative targets for transnational criminal activity. Finally, transnational criminal organizations are relying increasingly on cybercrime as a source of funds – which means they are frequently targeting, and illicitly using, the digital tools and content developed in our state. The term “transnational organized crime” refers to a range of criminal activity perpetrated by groups whose origins often lie outside of the United States but whose operations cross international borders. Whether it is a drug cartel originating from Mexico or a cybercrime group out of Eastern Europe, the operations of transnational criminal organizations threaten the safety, health and economic wellbeing of all Americans, and particularly Californians.

We explore how climate and water policy interact to influence water availability for cannabis (Cannabis sativa), a newly regulated crop in California, as well as how public discourse frames these interactions. Grower access to surface water covaries with pre- cipitation frequency and oscillates consistently in an energetic 11–17 year wet-dry cycle.
