The Cannabis Distribution Association (CDA) represents a diverse group of cannabis distributors. In California, our members distribute over 30% of licensed cannabis products sold statewide. Beyond California, we have a growing presence nationwide by way of the CDA Interstate Task Force. We welcome participation in the task force from representatives of state-specific cannabis trade organizations. Since 2016, we have been a critical stakeholder in cannabis policy, advocating for solutions that ensure the economic viability for small business, promote supply chain integrity, and prioritize consumer safety. CDA, formerly the CGA Distribution & Transportation Committee, was formed in 2016 as a partner organization to California Growers Association (CGA).
