CA AB2150

Requires the University of California's Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research to establish a study examining effects of commercial cannabis products currently on the market, including high-THC concentrates up to 90 percent, in consultation with the California Highway Patrol.

Study must evaluate public safety consequences of driving after cannabis use and determine best methods for identifying cannabis-impaired drivers using driving simulations, blood/oral fluid/breath analysis, cognitive tests, and field sobriety tests.

Center must report findings to the Department of Cannabis Control, Legislature, and Governor's office by January 1, 2027, with this section repealing on January 1, 2028.

Appropriates $2 million from the State and Local Government Law Enforcement Account in the California Cannabis Tax Fund for fiscal year 2022-23 to fund the study.

Study addresses federal research limitations by examining California's high-potency cannabis products not available for traditional federal research due to federal restrictions on THC content.
