A number of cannabis activist groups held a webinar online on Tuesday in an attempt to ramp up a campaign of pressure on Gov. Gavin Newsom to convince him to approve a bill that was just approved by the California legislature in late August, which would grant a path to market to small marijuana farmers.

Origins Council, Supernova Women and Equity Trade Network, as well as California NORML, all took part in an online meeting where they asked participants to sign a letter requesting Newsom sign the law. Assembly Bill 1111The 28th of August was the date that the lawmakers approved the bill.

All the groups agreed that it could be a lifeline for small farms and social equity companies. Both demographics are struggling in California’s competitive cannabis landscape.

“It is a bill which allows small cultivators the opportunity to sell their cannabis products at cannabis festivals,” explained Ross Gordon. Origins Council represents small cannabis farmers in California. “It is an opportunity for small growers to sell directly to the consumer.”

Gordon pointed out that there are already licensed marijuana event overseen by the Department of Cannabis Control, but those only allow licensed retailers to conduct sales, while farmers are not licensed retailers. Most farmers do not want to jump through all the hoops necessary to become a retailer.

Ramon Garcia, cofounder of Equity Trade Network, said that the recent California State Fair, where marijuana consumption and sales were allowed for the very first time, set a precedent for similar events and opened the floodgates to demand from other events.

“It set a precedent for all fairgrounds to be able do it.” Garcia said that by day three, fairgrounds in San Diego, L.A. and Orange County had called to say, “We want to do it.”

Genine Coleman, executive director of Origins Council called the bill a “opportunity for small farms to partner with brands”, to help grow their businesses. She said that the bill could be a boon to both the farms and rural regions where they are grown.

Coleman said that we need anything to boost the economy.

Gordon said that the bill would still contain several guardrails for farmers to adhere to.

• Farmers will only be allowed to participate in licensed cannabis events such as the Emerald Cup.
• Farmers will only be able to sell cannabis products that they have grown or made themselves.
• The annual cap on event sales, excluding taxes, would be $175,000
• Transporting goods to and away from any sales event would still require a licensed distributor.
• Starting in 2026, the size of the farms that are eligible to participate will change. These farms must have a canopy of at least 10,000 square feet of outdoor canopy or 5,000 square foot of mixed-light canopy or 2,500 square foot of indoor canopy. These sizes would more then double in 2027.

The bill’s fate is not yet known. A spokesperson from the Governor’s Press Office said that the bill would be “evaluated on its merits” and that the deadline for the governor to sign it was Sept. 30.
