Legislative Update from the California Cannabis Operators Association

California's 2026 legislative session just passed its House of Origin deadline, and the bills still standing will shape the next decade of cannabis policy. Amy O'Gorman Jenkins, Executive Director of the California Cannabis Operators Association (CaCOA), walks through what advanced means are and what they mean for licensed operators. She covers CaCOA's risk-based enforcement bill AB 2537 (Chen) and its unanimous Assembly vote, the packaging and youth-marketing fight over AB 2249 (Irwin), new dosing rules for cannabis beverages under AB 2532 (Irwin), the tribal commerce questions in AB 2506, and how federal rescheduling is forcing California to rethink a regulatory system built for a different era. Ten years after Prop 64, the conversation has moved past legalization. The real question is whether the legal market can compete when roughly 60% of California cannabis sales still happen outside it.

California Cannabis Policy in 2026: the Road to a Functioning Legal Market

Nearly a decade after Proposition 64 passed, California's cannabis policy conversation has fundamentally changed. The debate is no longer about whether to legalize: it's about whether the regulated market can actually survive. In this episode, California Cannabis Operators Association Executive Director Amy O'Gorman Jenkins joins host Laura Braden to break down the 2026 legislative session. With 21 bills already flagged and more expected, Amy explains why enforcement is the dominant theme, what it will take for the Department of Cannabis Control to finally prioritize real violations over paperwork citations, and how two CaCOA-sponsored bills aim to redirect that focus. Amy also addresses the return of the packaging and marketing debate, including a new white paper CaCOA-produced, called The Packaging Problem, and explains why this legislative round is different from the 2023 fight over AB 1207. She gets candid about the tribal cannabis bill AB 2506 — why tax-free cannabis sales on sovereign land raise serious questions about regulatory equivalency, and why CaCOA is approaching it with caution. Plus, why nitrous oxide legislation matters to the cannabis industry and what it signals about the broader push to hold all intoxicating products to comparable consumer protections. On the optimistic side: new DCC Director Clint Kellum is earning early credibility by showing up in the field and signaling a real interest in expanding retail access. But with 60% of California jurisdictions still banning cannabis retail and an illicit market that still accounts for an estimated 60% of all cannabis sales in the state, the gap between Prop 64's promise and today's reality remains wide. Amy also reflects on 12 years at the front lines of California cannabis policy (from being laughed out of rooms to having substantive debates with both Democrats and Republicans) and what makes her cautiously optimistic about where this industry is headed. What you'll learn in this episode: - Why 2025 was a turning point year for California cannabis, and what changed in Sacramento going into 2026 - How AB 2537 would establish a risk-based enforcement framework at the DCC — and why it's needed - What CaCOA's Packaging Problem white paper found about youth-oriented cannabis packaging, and how it's shaping Assemblywoman Jackie Irwin's upcoming legislation - Why the tribal cannabis bill AB 2506 could undermine the existing licensed market if tax and inspection parity aren't resolved - How nitrous oxide legislation connects to a broader cannabis enforcement strategy - What new DCC Director Clint Kellum is signaling about the department's priorities and industry partnership - The state of retail access in California and why Bakersfield — a city of 400,000 — still has zero licensed dispensaries
