“UFCW workers applaud Governor Brown for upholding the will of California voters with his trailer bill on Prop. 64 implementation, and we anticipate the legislature will adopt this important new roadmap for the future cannabis industry as part of this year’s budget agreement. Proposition 64 promised to protect small growers and prevent monopolies, and any other model would flout the spirit of the law and will of the voters. With the anticipated budget agreement, California leaders are positioning California for a well-regulated marketplace that promotes consumer and worker safety, while ensuring a competitive marketplace that embraces small businesses.”
