We’re pleased to announce that the Code and Cannabis Compliance Divisions’ Director, Jeff Merriman, has been appointed to the California Department of Cannabis Control‘s (DCC) Cannabis Advisory Committee (CAC)! The CAC is expected to provide valuable input to DCC’s development of regulations and standards through the comprehensive representation in membership as well as through each member’s unique perspectives on consumer, community, and market issues. In addition, the CAC will provide an important venue for the DCC to hold robust public discussions that support the development of an innovative regulatory framework. The innovation and collaborative approach will benefit all Californians and results in a safe, sustainable, and equitable cannabis market.
