× The federal government has shut down due to the failures of the President and Congress to continue government funding. Millions of Californians receiving benefits from state programs may be impacted. For now, California’s Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) will continue to provide services and enroll eligible families as long as funding is available. No new federal funding to California WIC will be provided until the President and Congress take action. Families should continue to use their WIC benefits and attend their WIC appointments. This information is subject to change, so please monitor the California WIC website for updates.

Please be wary of potential highly partisan political messaging while visiting federal government websites for information related to the federal government shutdown.

MANUFACTURED CANNABIS SAFETY BRANCH

The three state cannabis programs were merged to form a single new state department called the Department of Cannabis Control (DCC). DCC now licenses and regulates all commercial cannabis activity in California.

We've launched a new state cannabis website with expanded resources for cannabis businesses, consumers and the public.

Some pages of the Manufactured Cannabis Safety Branch's website will remain live for a short period of time as we transition into DCC. Visit or bookmark www.cannabis.ca.gov to stay connected.
