Dennis Peron’s vision of legalization will be complete only when the legal cannabis marketplace works for everyone without narcs and illicit alternative marketplaces. This effort continues in the California State Legislature and in the news media and in industry forums across the state.
Right now, we are working to support Senator Scott Wiener’s Senate Bill 34, the Dennis Peron and Brownie Mary Act. This crucial legislation is needed to allow for the tax free compassionate distribution of cannabis under California’s new legal system of rules and regulations. This entire concept ended in January of 2019 when Proposition 64’s new rules kicked in.
Then, on October 13, 2019 California Governor Gavin Newsom signed the Dennis Peron & Brownie Mary Act into law, restarting in one stroke of the pen all the compassionate access programs for the State of California. Our mission continues as we work to increase the scope and scale of these programs to pull all of California’s patients off the illicit marketplace in favor of providing them with the highest quality lab tested cannabis for free.
