In California there is no state regulation or standard of the cultivation and/or distribution medical marijuana. California leaves the establishment of any guidelines to jurisdiction at a county level.
As of November 2009, all but 3 counties had implemented a medical marijuana program. The status of the remaining three counties is as follows:
- Mariposa: Pending
- Sutter: Pending
- Colusa: Implementation date unknown (we will update you when more is known).
