California regulators have rolled out a new marijuana database that's meant to help consumers, stakeholders, and lawmakers better understand the legal cannabis market. This database provides valuable information on licensed businesses, product safety standards, and compliance with state regulations. With the growth of the cannabis industry in California, this tool is essential for ensuring transparency and accountability.

Marijuana legal was expected to bring the industry out of the shadows. But in some states, the black market is alive and well. Illegal cannabis businesses pose a significant threat to public health and safety, as their product are not subject to the same rigorous testing and quality control measures as licensed dispensaries. Consumers must be vigilant in checking for a valid cannabis license when purchasing product.

The new marijuana database aims to address these issues by promoting transparency and compliance within the industry.

The California Department of Cannabis Control says they have a new tactic to crack down on illegal cannabis businesses - targeting landlords.
