CA has ocean adjacent. They already have a huge problem w/ caulerpa species choking other, native plants out of the coastal ecosystem - they don't want more problems.
The result: if it's a noxious weed type species anywhere (gerbils & caulerpa), or if there's any potential for it to establish itself in the wild and out compete native fauna (pirhana, gerbils, caulerpa) or if it's transgenic and freaky looking (glofish), you are not allowed to have any in your home.
They're just funny that way.
