California’s Bureau of Cannabis Control will hold three public workshops to educate hopeful marijuana business licensees on how to obtain state permits.

The state’s departments of Public Health, Food and Agriculture, and Tax and Fee Administration also will have representatives at the workshops.

The seminars are scheduled for Oct. 12 in Los Angeles, Oct. 13 in Riverside and Oct. 17 in Sacramento, though the bureau hasn’t released exact sites for each workshop. Each seminar will run from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The bureau said in a news release that anyone seeking updates can subscribe to its newsletter.
