Cat Packer has been tapped as the first executive director of the new Los Angeles Department of Cannabis Regulation.
Mayor Eric Garcetti made the appointment Wednesday.
“Taxing and regulating legal cannabis in Los Angeles will be a complex process — we need someone leading the effort who understands and can navigate those nuances,” said Garcetti. “Cat’s experience makes her an excellent fit for this new role. I am confident that her work will help us implement new regulations in a way that is fair and equitable for all of our communities, respects our neighborhoods and raises valuable new revenue for City services.”
