A new national advocacy organization has launched in Los Angeles to advocate and educate lawmakers on the path towards federal cannabis legalization. Mr. Jason Beck, a longtime Angeleno who was born with cerebral palsy and an early medical cannabis patient, spearheaded the creation of the new organization. The Global Alliance for Cannabis Commerce (GACC) will focus on legislation including, cultivation, manufacture, distribution, public safety, and taxation of medical and adult-use cannabis.
The GACC also recently released the first comprehensive model federal cannabis legislation, which includes the interests of multiple stakeholders: patients, industry, public policy officials, public safety officials, and communities adversely affected by prior laws and policies.
