Cannabis businesses in California are regulated at two levels: the state issues licenses by activity type, and each city or county can independently license, restrict, or prohibit cannabis businesses within its boundaries. A county's rules apply only to its unincorporated area — incorporated cities set their own. This map is a re-presentation of the Department of Cannabis Control's public dataset; consult an attorney and the relevant local jurisdiction before relying on this information for business decisions.
