OVERVIEW The California medical marijuana (MMJ) laws provide a defense to
criminal prosecution for certain personal and collective (group) marijuana-
related conduct. The two MMJ laws are the Compassionate Use Act
(1996), commonly referred to as Prop.
215, and the Medical Marijuana Program Act (2003), commonly referred
to as SB 420. These laws effectively legalize, under State law, certaincultivation, transport and distribution activities where prescribed steps are
followed. The difficulty is that there remains some ambiguity,
disagreement and misinformation about the scope of the MMJ laws and
the activity that is legal under those laws.
Abner Chernis, LLP makes it our business to keep abreast of changes in
the MMJ laws and arm our clients with that knowledge. It is our prime
directive to keep our client out of harmsway, and we believe an educated
and informed client is critical to the equation.

COLLECTIVE/NON PROFIT FORMATION
If you are considering collectivecultivation activity, either with a largegroup of people, or where money will beexchanged, it is recommended to form alegal entity for the collective and register
it with the California Secretary of State. Abner Chernis, LLP has developed an
expertise in assisting clients in theformation of MMJ collectives, andaddressing all of the challenges that arise
between the formation and operational
stages. Our approach is not cookie-cutteror one-size-fits all; at Abner Chernis, LLPwe consider each client as having uniqueconcerns and needs and once weunderstand those issues we craft a solutionto meet the clientsgoals.

COLLECTIVE/NON PROFIT FORMATION CONTD. Formation is much more than filing a registration or incorporation
document with the State. There are several different types of legal
entities, including several different forms of non-profits, that may be
utilized for MMJ business activities, depending on the clients unique
goals and desired activities. The entities have differences from oneanother which may be important to you.
Abner Chernis, LLP can remove the uncertainty in the law, answer your
questions, and allow you to move forward with confidence. While we do
offer packages to clients to meet their budgets, we can also perform
specific tasks as needed and in an efficient way.
