what regulations are you trying to operate under in CA? medical is the only system operating now for growing. rec systems wont be in place until sometime next year at the earliest, for growing only. I dont even think rec sales will be allowed until 2023 at the earliest because the testing permits wont be available to apply for until 2023.Tracking and testing is required for rec sales. Its going to be a long wait.
The below categories will be available when the BMC (Bureau of Marijuana Control) is created. There is 12 total permit types.
I recommend anyone that is interested in CA, read the law first
