CANNABIS TRADE ASSOCIATION?

       

       2017 welcomed a new time of enlightened legislation here in California and Jan 1st, 2018 we celebrated, although bitter-sweetly at times, the statewide legalization of recreational cannabis.  Here in Lake County, the community welcomed the adoption of recreational cannabis with open arms. In 2019, the Lake County tax office reported 1.3 million dollars in revenue from cannabis sales alone and over 100 new jobs. The boom of the cannabis industry breathed life and opportunity into our impoverished and primarily agricultural community, devastated by fires over the past 6 years. By supporting this new and lucrative industry, it is the hope of the LCCA to continue to advocate for and advance sound cannabis legislation in Lake County.   

​

       Despite the many documented medicinal benefits and multi-billion dollar industry cannabis became in the United States, cannabis remains Federally illegal and remains a Schedule 1 drug with cannabis businesses unable to gain access to FDIC backed banking. This has made financial backing, financing, logistics and employee payroll difficult at best impossible for most. In spite of this, California implemented the METRC track-and-trace system, making some cannabis business operations even more laborious and time consuming.

​

       Amid these constant changes in cannabis retail compliance at the state and local level, small business owners in rural communities like Lake County understandably struggle to keep pace with state legislation and local compliance. The LCCA aims to ease the pain cannabis business owners experience as cannabis transitions into the legal market for both recreational and medical use. 

 

       Please join us as we educate public and private cannabis markets and advocate for just cannabis legislation within Lake County and the state of California.
