California public licence records

Find the licensed companies behind California cannabis suppliers and trading names.

Browse active licence records by legal entity, trading name, category, or county. Free records carry no score. A supplier can separately request a five-criterion evidence review, and payment never changes the result.

Buying from a supplier this week? Start with how to read a COA.

Public records first. Scored reviews only after submission.

Licence records are free and unscored. A scored review appears only after the supplier submits evidence for all five criteria.

3,742 California suppliers have a free licence-record profile. Each one reproduces that company's licence numbers, types, status and expiry from the state register, with the source on the page. No score is assigned to any of them.

Browse the supplier records, every licensed distributor, or read what the five criteria check before you buy from anyone.

No supplier has completed an evidence review yet. A scored review appears here only after all five criteria have been checked, with the source for each. If you supply cannabis, a $49 review includes the written result and publication for 12 months, whether the result is strong or weak.

The five criteria, in short

Each is scored strong, mixed, weak, or unverified. Unverified means the evidence could not be obtained — it is a gap, not a mark against the supplier.

1. Licence status

Checked against the issuing state’s public register, not the supplier’s own website, and matched to the name on their paperwork.

2. Testing transparency

A certificate of analysis for the batch you are actually buying, from a licensed lab, with the batch identifier on the document.

3. Regulatory record

Published recalls, embargoes and enforcement actions — and what the company did after one.

4. Documentation response

Whether lot-linked paperwork arrives on request, complete, inside a stated deadline.

5. Claim consistency

Whether public claims about potency, origin and licence scope match the documents behind them.

What $49 does not buy

A listing, a position, a score, or the removal of a published recall. Disputes need evidence, not payment.

About BestWeedSuppliers.com

BestWeedSuppliers.com solves a narrow problem: the name on cannabis packaging may not match the legal entity on a licence or COA. The directory connects those records without pretending a licence is a quality score.

A supplier can pay $49 for a separate evidence review against five published criteria. The fee buys the review work and 12 months of publication, never a favourable result or a higher position. Nothing else here is for sale — no products, advertising, sponsorship, or paid placement.
