a specialty practice.
California Cannabis HR.
DCC compliance, dispensary SOPs, OSHA programs, and ICE preparedness for California cannabis operators. Senior HR built for the most regulated industry in the state.
Audits, SOP libraries, retainer scopes. Quoted by need.
For cannabis operators who can’t afford a compliance miss.
You operate a dispensary, a cultivator, a distributor, or a cannabis brand in California. You know that one DCC issue, one OSHA citation, one ICE visit handled wrong, can end the operation.
Most generic HR consultants do not work in cannabis. Most cannabis compliance firms do not do HR. This practice does both — senior HR with cannabis-specific knowledge, built for the operators who are actually doing the work.
What I work on.
- DCC compliance reviews and gap analyses
- Dispensary, cultivation, and distribution SOPs
- Hiring, onboarding, and termination procedures for licensed operations
- OSHA programs specific to cannabis facilities
- ICE preparedness and bilingual training
- Harassment, discrimination, and required California training
- Employee handbooks built for cannabis operations
- Retainer support for ongoing operations
How it works.
Most cannabis engagements start with an audit — where the gaps are, what the risk is, what to fix first. From there we build SOPs, train managers, and put a system in place that holds up to a DCC visit, an OSHA inspection, or an employee complaint.
For ongoing operations, a retainer makes the most sense. For one-time projects (audit, SOP library, training rollout), we scope and quote.
Let’s do this right.
Cannabis HR is too expensive to get wrong. Let’s talk.
