“Cannabis is agriculture, and all farmers deserve a seat at the table. For too long, stigma and outdated policies have silenced those who cultivate and care for this plant. As Napa continues to lead in food, wine, and hospitality, we must also lead in cultural policy—by honoring the legacy of cannabis farmers, advocating for equity, and creating space for education, healing, and economic inclusion. It’s time to end the silence and shape a future that reflects the truth: cannabis is part of our shared Californian story.”

Napa County lacks a legal cannabis framework, leaving room for unregulated sales and illicit activity to thrive. The Napa Valley Cannabis Association advocates for common-sense cannabis regulations that prioritize public safety, support licensed businesses, and give law enforcement the tools to curb the illegal market. Smart policy means safer communities and a controlled, transparent cannabis ecosystem.
Legal cannabis sales can create a significant new revenue stream for Napa County—supporting hospitals, schools, infrastructure, and emergency services. By permitting regulated cannabis cultivation, manufacturing and distribution we can responsibly unlock millions of dollars in annual tax revenue to reinvest in our communities.
Unlicensed cannabis cultivation harms our environment through toxic pesticide use, illegal water diversion, and deforestation. By legalizing and regulating cannabis in Napa, we can protect our watershed, enforce sustainable practices, and ensure that cannabis farmers meet the same high environmental standards required in wine and agriculture. Responsible cultivation protects what makes Napa unique.
The Napa Valley Cannabis Association hosts ongoing educational events and community forums focused on cannabis safety, responsible use, wellness, and science. We work with healthcare professionals, policymakers, and local leaders to offer evidence-based information—reducing stigma and ensuring our community makes informed choices.
Legal cannabis presents a powerful opportunity to diversify Napa’s economy. From cultivation and compliance to hospitality and retail, the industry offers living-wage jobs, career pathways, and entrepreneurial opportunities. NVCA supports policies that ensure local residents, legacy farmers, and small businesses can benefit from this growing sector.
