The three state cannabis programs were merged to form a single new state department called the Department of Cannabis Control (DCC). DCC now licenses and regulates all commercial cannabis activity in California.

We’ve launched a new state cannabis website with expanded resources for cannabis businesses, consumers and the public.

Some pages of the Bureau of Cannabis Conrol’s website will remain live for a short period of time as we transition into DCC. Visit or bookmark www.cannabis.ca.gov to stay connected.
