Real CA Cannabis Standards
High quality, higher standards
Only cannabis grown, manufactured, distributed, and sold by licensed cannabis businesses is Real CA Cannabis. Here’s what that means for you.
Consumer protection
Real CA Cannabis is regulated to meet consumer health and safety standards and provides vital information about where and how it was grown as well as the substances contained in each product.
Environmental standards
Real CA Cannabis is grown, harvested, and processed using more environmentally responsible practices than cannabis sold at unlicensed dispensaries.
Locally sourced
Real CA Cannabis is 100% California-grown, cultivated exclusively on the state’s world-renowned licensed farms. Because of this, all products can be closely tracked to ensure they’re grown, prepared, and distributed according to state standards from seed to sale.
Consumer Benefits
A win for you and the community
From more confident shopping to supporting local licensed dispensaries, there are plenty of reasons to choose Real CA Cannabis.
A breathe-easy environment
Licensed dispensaries are required to have security guards and security systems so you can enjoy a safer, more comfortable shopping experience. They also discourage underage cannabis purchases by checking all customer IDs to guarantee shoppers are at least 21.
Regulated and trusted products
Since only licensed dispensaries sell Real CA Cannabis, shopping at these dispensaries means you always know you’re getting quality products.
What you see is what you get
No more guesswork. Products at licensed retailers are carefully packaged and accurately labeled so you always get the right dose and strain. This means more predictable effects and confident shopping for you and your friends.
A choice to take pride in
Choosing licensed dispensaries supports the farms they source their products from. These local growers follow cultivation practices that are better for the environment and surrounding communities than their unlicensed competitors. When you buy Real CA Cannabis, you’re supporting more environmentally friendly farming practices.
