San Joaquin County District Attorney's Office Announces Awareness Campaign Targeting Sale of Unlicensed Cannabis Products

Stockton - Following the State of California’s Emergency Regulations regarding the sale of intoxicating hemp products, the San Joaquin County District Attorney’s Office has launched an awareness campaign addressing the sale of unlicensed cannabis products from smoke shops, unlicensed dealers, and black-market sources.

Unlicensed cannabis products may contain fentanyl, pesticides, and other lethal contaminants, posing serious health risks to consumers. The month-long campaign will include social media posts highlighting the dangers of purchasing these products and warning dealers and sellers that they will be prosecuted if caught.

“The sale of unlicensed cannabis products often targets the most vulnerable members of our community, including youth,” stated the San Joaquin County District Attorney’s Office. “These products frequently contain dangerous contaminants, including fentanyl, that can lead to serious harm or even death. We will not tolerate the sale of these unlicensed and potentially deadly products in San Joaquin County. If you engage in the sale or distribution of unlicensed cannabis products, you will be prosecuted.”
