><br>
> (a) This Act shall be known and cited as the Jack Herer
Cannabis & Hemp Revenue Act.<br>
><br>
> (b) “Cannabis” means "marihuana" or “marijuana” as defined in
Section 11018, “concentrated cannabis” as defined in Section
11006.5.11421(a), as cannabis sativa L, cannabis Americana,
cannabis chinensis, cannabis indica, cannabis ruderalis, cannabis
sativa, or any other variety or strain of cannabis, whether the
living plant, dried plant, leaf, bud, flower, particle, resin,
root, stem, seed, stalk, or any derivative, concentrate, extract,
preparation, or any product thereof.<br>

and operated by the members of a group. A collective should be an
organization that merely facilitates the collaborative efforts of
patient and caregiver members including the allocation of costs
and revenues. As such, a collective is not a statutory entity, but
as a practical matter it might have to organize as some form of
business to carry out its activities. The collective should not
purchase marijuana from, or sell to, non-members; instead, it
should only provide a means for facilitating or coordinating
transactions between members.<br>

prosecuting, and punishing otherwise law-abiding citizens. <br>

> (c) Medical Marijuana is important for the health and welfare
of the people of California.<br>
><br>
> (d) Taxing Cannabis and Hemp will generate millions of
dollars in annual revenue for California.<br>

by eliminating the black market. <br>
