43 3. BOE Requires A Seller s Permit for MMD What is the California State Board of Equalization (BOE) policy regarding sales of medical marijuana? The sale of medical marijuana has always been considered taxable. However, prior to October 2005, the BOE did not issue seller's permits to sellers of property that could be considered illegal. A policy change was issued in October 2005 and the Board directed BOE staff to issue seller's permits regardless of the fact that the property being sold may be illegal, or because the applicant for the permit did not indicate what products it sold.
44 4. Monitoring and Compliance Inspect financial records Process applications Randomly test product Inspect labeling Inspect premises Monitor Video Community Communications Complaints Violation reports Answer questions
45 Local Public Perception - 1 Use amongst minors will increase No absolute conclusive studies yet Conventional Wisdom, Regulating location, security and price can reduce cannabis access to minors. A 2015 Columbia University study showed usage did not increase among teenagers in states in which medical marijuana had become legal. A 24-year long study recently reported in Lancet medical journal found that states that legalized medical use had reduced rates of teenage use after enacting the laws compared with states where the drug remains illegal.
46 Local Public Perception - 2 Marijuana is a gateway drug No absolute conclusive studies yet Prescription opiates Conventional Wisdom:, The scientist who coined the gateway term recently came out with a new paper showing that it s actually nicotine that is, biologically, the most potent gateway of all. A recent analysis by RAND's Drug Policy Research Center (DPRC) suggests that data typically used to support a marijuana gateway effect can be explained as well by a different theory. The new research, by Andrew Morral, associate director of RAND Public Safety and Justice, Daniel McCaffrey, and Susan Paddock, has implications for U.S. marijuana policy.
47 Local Public Perception - 3 Local Crime will increase No absolute conclusive studies yet Drugged Driving will increase No absolute conclusive studies yet

53 Typical Implementation Path 1. Create a committee within your municipality including staff from affected departments and polling and cannabis consultants. 2. Develop an implementation plan that deals with your survey, ordinance, and tax measure. 3. Conduct a survey of your broader community to scientifically understand health & safety preferences and taxation preferences. 4. Draft a health and safety ordinance and get it approved by your council. 5. Propose a tax measure, and get it approved by your voters. 6. Rigorous monitoring and compliance
54 Let s Do this Right! Efficiently provide Cannabis Medicine to patients Develop mature, safe, adult-use cannabis marketplace Eliminate Black Market and associated criminal activity Ensure unavailable to anyone younger than 21 Control Potential for drugged driving
