This pioneering alliance serves as a cornerstone to combat the endemic issue of illegal cannabis operations within California.<\/p>\n<h3>The Ubiquity of the Problem<\/h3>\n<p>Since the legalization of cannabis in California in 2016 under the Adult Use of Marijuana Act, unlicensed cannabis activities remain a significant problem. These illegal operations make up the majority of cannabis activities in California, resulting in a public safety issue, environmental degradation, and an unstable market for legitimate cannabis businesses.<\/p>\n<h3>Why is This Important?<\/h3>\n<p>Fresno City Attorney Andrew Janz pointed out the impact of these operations. They threaten not just public safety but also diminish the tax base that legal cannabis operations could provide. Additionally, these underground activities target vulnerable populations, including children and minors, with no fear of repercussions.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the CAPP Program?<\/h3>\n<p>The CAPP Program offers local governments a unique set of tools. It increases the scope of <a href=\"https:\/\/oag.ca.gov\/news\/press-releases\/attorney-general-bonta-announces-eradication-nearly-one-million-cannabis-plants\">illicit cannabis enforcement<\/a>, provides essential resources, and facilitates cost-effective evidence collection. This holistic approach allows for large-scale, statewide prosecutions against entities involved in illegal cannabis operations.<\/p>\n<h3>The Nuts and Bolts of the Partnership<\/h3>\n<p>Fresno receives comprehensive support from the DOJ, ranging from legal consultation to logistical assistance in evidence collection and administrative procedures. This multipronged assistance ensures a thorough and effective approach to identifying and penalizing illegal operators.<\/p>\n<h3>Economic Impact<\/h3>\n<p>Illegal cannabis operations aren&#8217;t just a criminal issue; they&#8217;re an economic one too. They undercut the revenue that the legal industry and, by extension, the state could earn. Thus, this new program also aims to protect and uplift the legitimate cannabis industry in Fresno and <a href=\"https:\/\/blackcannabismagazine.com\/licensed-cannabis-farms-under-siege-unwarranted-raids-and-canine-casualties-spark-controversy\/\">across California<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>A Model for Future Partnerships<\/h3>\n<p>Attorney General Rob Bonta has high hopes for this venture. He believes that the CAPP Program, with its innovative approach, will set a new standard for how local and state governments can collaboratively address complex issues like illegal cannabis activity.<\/p>\n<h3>Final Thoughts<\/h3>\n<p>The launch of the CAPP Program in Fresno marks a crucial step in the ongoing struggle against illegal cannabis operations. By offering a comprehensive, multi-layered approach, this program could very well become the new paradigm in combating illicit cannabis activities, not just in California but across the nation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction In an unprecedented move, the city of Fresno has teamed up with the California Department of Justice&#8217;s (DOJ) Cannabis Administrative Prosecutor Program (CAPP).
