California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed off on a law that will allow the state\u2019s cannabis companies to sell weed across that state lines \u2014 if, that is, federal law ever legalizes such an act. The legislation, Senate Bill 1326<\/u><\/a>, is part of a package of marijuana bills that were recently approved by legislators.<\/p>\n

It is the second such state law in the US to grant the governor the ability to enter into cannabis agreements with other states. Oregon passed its version in 2019<\/a>. Of course, interstate marijuana commerce is still quite illegal under federal law, as are most forms of marijuana, in general. <\/p>\n

Other laws from the same reform package<\/u><\/a> that have been signed into effect by the governor include one that prohibits doctors<\/u><\/a> from discriminating against medical marijuana patients when making decisions about treatment, and another that regulates medicinal cannabis products for pets<\/u><\/a>. Some crucial criminal reform measures have also been passed, including one that seals the records for some Californians that have been convicted of cannabis-related crimes.<\/p>\n
