Cannabis in California: Where are We Now?


Since late 2016, marijuana has been legalized for recreational use in California. While there has been considerable growth in the economy in terms of revenue, taxation and jobs, the industry has also had its challenges. We will be discussing the current environment of the industry and the unique challenges from a financial, legal and human resources perspective and impact on California employers.

Join fellow Sacramento Chapter members and local finance professionals for cannabis industry discussion with Jennifer Barrera, Executive Vice President, and Erika Frank, Executive Vice President, Legal Affairs, and General Counsel from California Chamber of Commerce.

Attendees can expect to learn:
  • the impact on California with the legalization of recreational use of marijuana;
  • unique challenges on access to banking and capital and impact on financial industry; and
  • impact from human resources and legal perspective on California employers.
