About Us
Despite its documented efficacy, cannabis use remains out of reach for many people worldwide. The majority are located too far from a region where medical marijuana is legalized or simply cannot access it due to financial barriers; therefore unable to reap the rewards that come with using this therapeutic plant – as evidenced by thousands of years of safe usage and various scientific studies.

Laws
History of Rules Regarding Cannabis Legalization in California
To the best of our knowledge, in 1972, California was the first state to put the question of whether or not to decriminalize cannabis for medical use to a vote cast. Medical marijuana use, possession, and cultivation are now legal in California thanks to Proposition 19, but sales to the general public are still illegal.
In 1996, California made history by becoming the first state to legalize Medical Cannabis for medical purposes through Proposition 215 – also known as the Compassionate Use Act. This revolutionary law meant that patients and caregivers could use cannabis without fear of legal repercussions or punishment.
In 2003, The Senate approved Bill 420, mandating the introduction of an identification card system for medical marijuana patients and refining the legislation originally proposed. This new law ensures that all relevant regulations are correctly defined and easily accessible.
In 2016, Californians approved Proposition 64 with an overwhelming majority, effectively legalizing the recreational use of cannabis and creating a new world of opportunity for its adult users.
In the face of unprecedented challenges in 2020, posed by a global pandemic, Governor Newson acted quickly to ensure that Medical beneficiaries in California still had access to vital healthcare services. His executive order kept MMICs valid and securely provided essential medical care across the state.
