We’ve held the licenses. We’ve sat across from the DCC. We cite the regulation, not the rumor — every BPC section, every CCR rule, every DCC form.
California runs the most complex cannabis regulatory regime in the country. Operators lose licenses in the gaps — between what the statute says, how the regulator reads it, and what the local counter accepts. We close those gaps. Every recommendation cites a specific BPC section, CCR rule, or DCC form. No opinions. No theater.
“The operators who survive the next cycle are the ones whose compliance was already defensible before the inspector knocked.”
Provisional-to-annual conversions began. Operators needed specialists. We were operators ourselves — so we became them.
A multi-site retailer received a surprise OSC. We responded inside the statutory window. All three licenses stayed intact. The defense practice started that week.
Every recommendation cited. Every deliverable specific. Every submission reviewed twice. Every engagement since has cleared first-pass DCC review.
