procedures for commercial activity which are different than those
  which regulate grape farms, wineries, distribution and sales of wine
  and beer. Commercial cultivation, infused-product manufacturing, and
  distribution licenses, consistent with the declarations, purposes
  and goals of this section may be issued if fees are equal to or less
  than any such fees charged for similar wine industry
  activity. Should the Alcohol Beverage Control Board fail to enact
  regulations, a person or business acting commercially, shall not be
  subject to the penalty provided in 11420 (b)(2)(B).

  (8) All pending state court actions under said amended statutes
  which conflict with the provisions of this Act, shall be dismissed
  with prejudice.

  (9) The state and/or local jurisdictions may regulate the
  processing, distribution, sales, and outdoor use within 600 feet of
  a school, and in residential zones.

  (10) Experimentation, development, research, testing, cultivation,
  sales, or possession of genetically-modified (GMO) marijuana, hemp,
  and its seeds, shall be banned throughout the state of California.

Section 2. Provisions

(a) This Act adopts the definitions of marijuana, concentrates, and

to include the species Cannabis Indica, Ruderalis, and Americana, as
well as any plant part, form, derivative, interspecies hybrids or
cross-breeds, and all non-genetically-modified strains of the Cannabis
genus and plant.

(b) State taxes and regulations which may be similar and apply to the
grape farming and wine industries, produce and processed agricultural
products and brokerage industry, distribution, wholesale and retail
sales, and transactions of agricultural crops and products shall apply

winery industry as an example, so long as the results support these
declarations, purpose and goals.

(c) All wholesale and retail products with a final THC level below 0.3
percent shall be authorized for sales as hemp products. All marijuana
or hemp products with a final THC level of 0.3 percent or above shall
be restricted for sales to persons 21 years of age or older and
regulated in a manner similar to wine, so long as the results support
these declarations, purposes and goals. Both hemp and marijuana are

(d) The State of California, and all branches of its government, shall
