[quote=Anonymous]There are special regulations in CA gor cannabis growers and workers. The supervisors/owners should be attested and prosecuted!

1. Everyone who works in cannabis cultivation has to be at least 21.

2. Cannabis cultivation workers are NOT considered agricultural workers. From CA state website:

Q. Are employees in cannabis cultivation considered agricultural workers falling under IWC Wage Order 14?

A. No.  Although employees in cannabis cultivation are working in defined agricultural occupations for an agricultural employer, the Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (“MAUCRSA”) specifically provides that those employees are subject to IWC Wage Order 4-2001, not IWC Wage Order 14-2001 governing agricultural occupations. [California Business & Professions Code §26065].  As such, employees engaged in the cultivation of cannabis are entitled to overtime pay for hours worked in excess of eight in any workday or more than 40 hours in any workweek.  (Agricultural employees are entitled to overtime after 10 hours in any workday, or more than 6 days in a workweek.)  Employees engaged in the cultivation of cannabis are also entitled to double their regular rate of pay for hours worked in excess of twelve in any workday and for all hours worked in excess of eight on the seventh consecutive day of work in a workweek.   Employees engaged in the cultivation of cannabis are entitled to applicable meal periods and rest periods and may recover one hour of pay at the regular rate of pay for each workday that the meal period or rest period was not provided.

3. Since marijuana is NOT legal under federal law, any non-citizen who is working on a cannabis farm is potentially putting their ability to become a citizen in jeopardy.
