Methodology
Manufacturing licences in California come from the California Department of Cannabis Control (CA DCC) and are usually split by extraction method — volatile, non-volatile, or infusion only. This list tracks that licence file directly rather than a directory, so it includes the white-label and co-packing operations that never carry a consumer-facing brand.
