California

Cannabis is deemed an essential service by the state of California which enables continuing cannabis operations provided they adopt social distancing and anti-congregating measures and follow the CDC's policy of Interim Guidance for Businesses and Employers to Plan and Respond to Coronavirus Disease. (California Bureau of Cannabis Control Notice, March 21, 2020)

The ShowGrow Long Beach dispensary gives patients the option of pre-ordering through Weedmaps, iheartjane.com or the Long Beach web site https://bamcannabis.com/california/longbeachdispensary/.

The store is arranged for social distancing and undergoes constant cleaning. All staff are appropriately masked and follow CDC guidance.
