RE: Item #12 Adoption of Resolutions for Cannabis Taxation and Regulation The United Cannabis Business Association is the premier cannabis trade association representing cannabis retailers throughout the state. UCA advocates responsible and equitable cannabis policy both on a state and local level. With the overwhelming majority of local jurisdictions currently maintaining prohibition against legal cannabis activities, we wish to acknowledge and support the progress that the City of Huntington Beach continues to pursue in regulating locally.
We strongly support and encourage the City Council to adopt the resolutions to both place a tax as well as a question of if to regulate in front of the voters for the November 8, 2022 election. We applaud the level of transparency that this process allows the residents in considering what is the most responsible policy for the city.
Should the item be approved by the City Council, we look forward to engaging with the city and its residents as discussions around the regulation ordinance continue. We wish to thank the council for addressing a number of the concerns we brought forth, as well as point out there remain several very concerning issues to be addressed. Additionally, we are very pleased to see that the city is making an increased effort from previous to expand its outreach and education into the community on the complexity of cannabis regulations. We look forward to many more such meetings and thank you all for increasing the transparency and opportunity to interact on these discussions.
Sincerely,
press firk
