This will Be California’s First Pot Factory [Video]

California’s best medical marijuana dispensaries are clean, safe, and polished. The places that grow the weed they sell will not be. This proposed pot factory would produce $50 million of weed annually in an super-sterile, eco-friendly environment. Sounds good to me.

The factory is a component of an offer by Gropech, a non-profit group that’s hoping to get a permit from the Oakland City Council in coming months. Chatting with The Atlantic , co-founder Derek Peterson stated that California legitimized the sale of marijuana while leaving its production to illicit farms and repurposed garages.

The laws in California were type of backward because they addressed retail sales before wholesale production…It’d be like in case you built a gaggle of liquor stores, and only afterward built distilleries.

Thus, Gropech contends, California’s medical cannabis is hardly medical, potentially containing pesticides, bugs or mold that may be harmful to users (try not to dwell on that the following time you’re medicating.) Gropech says their factory will probably be built to ” medical laboratory standards,” which they pronounce ” lab-or-a-tory,” ensuring healthy weed that truly deserves the respect of being called medicine. Oakland City Council, make this happen. [ The Atlantic ]
