How the consolidation affects you
For now, you do not need to take any specific action. We will share additional information during the coming days and weeks, including updated contact information and answers to common questions.
Old email addresses for staff will redirect to their new DCC email address for several months. If your point of contact changes, we will provide updated contact information.
Cannabis businesses
Your license or license application transferred to DCC automatically. You do not need to submit a new license application. Your current license is still active, even if your license certificate lists the old licensing authority’s name. Your license will still expire at the time listed on your license certificate. Email licensing@cannabis.ca.gov with any license or application questions or info@cannabis.ca.gov with general questions.
Local governments
DCC staff will continue to email your office regarding applications to confirm compliance with local requirements. Email locals@cannabis.ca.gov to update your point of contact or send us a copy of your most recent ordinance.
Law enforcement
You can continue to coordinate investigations or complaints with your existing points-of-contact. Email enforcement@cannabis.ca.gov to reach our enforcement team.
Researchers
The consolidation does not affect your grant funding or the amount you were awarded by the Bureau of Cannabis Control. Email questions or required grant reports to grants@cannabis.ca.gov.
