Standard Operating Procedures: California Delivery – non-storefront

Standard Operating Procedures: California Delivery

On Nov. 6, 1996, PROPOSITION 215 (also known as the California Compassionate Use Act), was enacted by voters and took effect as California Health & Safety Code 11362.5. The law makes it legal for patients and their designated primary caregivers to possess and cultivate marijuana for their personal medical use, given the recommendation or approval of a California-licensed physician. Our Standard Operating Procedures: California - Delivery cover all regulations necessary to run a compliant operation.

California allows Adult Use by persons 21 years of age or older. The daily purchase limit is as follows:

• 28.5 grams of non-concentrated cannabis.
• 8 grams of cannabis concentrate, including cannabis concentrate contained in cannabis products.
• 6 immature cannabis plants
• The limits provided shall not be combined to allow a customer to purchase cannabis goods in excess of any of the limits provided.
• A licensed retailer shall be responsible for determining that the amount of cannabis concentrates found in manufactured cannabis products sold to customers comply with the requirements.

California allows Medical Use by persons 18 years of age or older with a valid physician’s referral. The purchase limit is as follows:

• If a medicinal cannabis patient’s valid physician’s recommendation contains a different amount than the limits listed for Adult Use, the medicinal cannabis patient may purchase an amount of medicinal cannabis consistent with the patient’s needs as recommended by a physician and documented in the physician’s recommendation.

California Marijuana Taxes:

• Sales tax of 7.25% is collected on all Adult Use cannabis purchases. Medical Patients are exempt from the sales tax.
  A 15-percent excise tax is imposed upon retail purchasers of all cannabis and cannabis products, including medicinal cannabis. Distributors are required to calculate and collect the amount of excise tax due on the cannabis or cannabis products they supply.
