CA SB67

Requires the Department of Food and Agriculture to establish standards by January 1, 2018, allowing licensed cultivators to designate county, city, or city and county of origin for cannabis, provided 100% is produced within that jurisdiction.

Prohibits cannabis from being advertised, marketed, labeled, or sold as produced in a California county, city, or city and county unless it was actually produced there, and bans use of these names if cannabis names are likely to mislead consumers.

Requires the department to establish a process by January 1, 2021, for licensed cultivators to establish appellations of origin for cannabis in specific geographical areas, with 100% of cannabis in products meeting appellation requirements.

Prohibits approval of appellations of origin unless they require planting in ground within the canopy area and exclude structures (greenhouses, hoop houses, etc.) and artificial light in the canopy area.

Declares the act furthers the purposes of the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA) and takes effect immediately as an urgency statute.
