Cannabis regulation, solved.

GreenState Group.
Licensed. Educated. Compliant.

Get licensed. Train your team. Stay audit-ready. The full California regulatory lift — consulting on the work, a platform that proves the work, every recommendation citing the rule behind it.

Three outcomes.
One named team.

Tier 1 · Licensed

Get licensed.
The first time.

DCC applications, local permits, CEQA pathway — coordinated on one clock. Every classification from Type 1A through Type 12, filed before the Jan 1, 2026 provisional sunset.

73
DCC license denials and revocations in 2024 alone.

Most cited § 15010 (CEQA compliance) or § 26055 (local authorization) — the two sections every packet we file is scrubbed against first. DCC, Feb 2025

Tier 2 · Educated

Train your team.
The rule before the violation.

A regulatory education center built for cannabis — per-employee training pathways, the searchable rule library, CE programs, and a control center scoring readiness by site. The cannabis answer to RegEd, on top of the consulting practice.

§15042
4 CCR §15042 makes pre-access training a hard legal gate.

The licensee may not grant premises access until security awareness, facility access rules, and badge discipline are completed and recorded. Every employee, every site, every day — provable on demand. DCC regulations, Title 4 Div 19

Tier 3 · Compliant

Stay compliant.
Quarterly — and when the notice lands.

Quarterly operational audits, monthly METRC reconciliation, SOP upkeep, ownership-change filings — the cadence that catches the variance before it becomes a notice. And when one lands anyway, a named defender on the line inside the CCR 15002(d) window.

481
Product embargoes DCC issued in 2024.

Every one started as a missed quarterly-audit finding six months earlier — a METRC variance, a stale SOP, a premises photo out of sync with the state file. MJBizDaily, Feb 2025

The steady-state cadence

01

Walk-through

Physical audit of the premises against DCC, local, and CDTFA standards. Limited-access, camera coverage, product flow, signage, training logs.

02

Reconcile

METRC-to-POS variance at the package level, monthly. CDTFA filings against actual sales data. SOP currency check against today’s operation.

03

Close findings

Every finding comes with a dated closeout and a named owner. Not a finger-wag — a deadline and a deliverable.

04

Repeat the cadence

Ongoing retainer clients see the variance in week one, not on inspection day. Regulatory intelligence keeps the calendar ahead of the agency.

$30K
When the notice does land — per-day penalty ceiling.

DCC’s Disciplinary Guidelines allow up to $30,000 per violation, per day against anyone operating outside license scope — six times the $5K/day licensee rate. The CCR 15002(d) window closes in 10 business days. DCC Disciplinary Guidelines, Sept 2021

Crisis defense, on the clock

24h
Response-line turnaround

Named defender on the line within one business day. Document production the same day if the window demands it.

10d
CCR 15002(d) window

The response window that starts the moment the notice is served. Missing it forfeits every procedural defense on the record.

1
Named defender, not a team

One voice on the agency call. One record, one narrative — coordinated with your retained counsel, not running parallel to them.

California-wide

58 counties.
200+ cities.
Every local path, mapped.

Local authorization stalls most state applications. BPC 26055(a) demands evidence of it before DCC issues a license. We walk the CUP, competitive, ministerial, and zoning-clearance paths in every California jurisdiction that permits cannabis activity.
