One of the nation’s leading marijuana investment groups is bringing on its second former federal official.

Seattle-based Privateer Holdings today announced the hiring of Dante Tosetti, a former bank examiner for the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco.

Tosetti, a commercial banking veteran, will come on board as Privateer’s director of treasury compliance, leading the “development of new financial solutions for the cannabis industry,” the firm noted. He will also ensure that Privateer abides by complex financial regulation in the legal cannabis industry.

The California cannabis industry was abuzz following the last-minute passage of the Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act (MMRSA) that was passed by the California Assembly at the very end of the legislative session. Marijuana entrepreneurs were scrambling to read the MMRSA and have been digesting the implications since. Governor Jerry Brown signed the regulatory bill into law last fall and the New Year starts the implementation process that will be coming into focus over the coming months.

A plan backed by Silicon Valley billionaire Sean Parker to legalize recreational use of marijuana in California is on the path to the November ballot, potentially bringing more than $1bn a year in tax revenue, according to legislative analysts.

The proposal, which would allow for the retail sale of marijuana to adults aged 21 and older, is one of the most highly anticipated initiatives, in no small part because California is the country’s largest economy and the eighth largest in the world.

For the first time in history, the cultivation of medical marijuana is considered to be allowed and regulated within city limits. A new state law is prompting San Diego about this and may permit its full operation months from now.

According to Los Angeles Times, Deputy City Atty. Shannon Thomas issued a memo last week describing methods that the city can regulate marijuana cultivation. This includes making zoning regulations that specify the drug or the simple permission of growing marijuana in all areas that are considered as agricultural zones.

A new state law says cities with no medical marijuana cultivation rules by March 1 will permanently cede that authority to the state, but the deadline was a mistake.

A new state law may prompt San Diego to regulate and allow cultivation of medical marijuana within city limits for the first time.

A memo issued last week by Deputy City Atty. Shannon Thomas describes ways the city could regulate growing marijuana, including creation of zoning regulations specific to the drug or simply allowing cultivation in all areas now zoned for agriculture.

The memo also says the city might need to impose a temporary moratorium on cultivation while exploring any new regulations.
