SACRAMENTO – Currently, there are more than 10,000 temporary state cannabis licenses in the state system that will be expiring between now and the month of July 2019.
In March alone, more than 1,000 temporary growing licenses issued by the California Department of Food and Agriculture are set to expire.
The state – under current law – has no ability to extend a temporary license, despite the fact thousands are set to expire.
To make matters worse, thousands of applicants who wanted to comply with the law and applied for a temporary license did so in the last quarter of 2018, leaving a massive backlog for the state regulating agencies.
