Medical Marijuana Dispensary Opens In Riverside

[GreenSurfer]

The city's first medical marijuana dispensary is scheduled to open Saturday. The Inland Empire Health and Wellness Center Medical Marijuana Collective is a non-profit organization where people with a doctor's recommendation will be allowed to buy marijuana from those permitted to grow the drug under state law, the Press-Enterprise reported.

Manager William Sump said they are complying with city regulations, which include having security guards on duty when the collective is open.

The collective has about 150 members, Sump said. Just across the street is the THCF Medical Clinic, where people can seek a doctor's recommendation for marijuana.

In Los Angeles, pot shops have cropped by the hundreds over the past few years, while the City Council alternately stalled on regulating them or declared moratoriums on new ones.

The Inland Empire Patients Health and Wellness Center
Medical Marijuana Collective will open this Saturday, Dec. 5. It is the only collective of its type in the state. Instead of the usual storefront dispensary model where a patient goes in and buys their medicine from a display counter, member patients will buy directly from cultivating members at tables set up in the collective.

It will not only be the most legally compliant collective in the state, it will also be a collective where member's can actually talk with the growers about how their medicine was grown and processed. Since the patient will be directly dealing with the grower, the cost of the medicine should be lower - hopefully significantly lower. Getting your medicine at the IEPH&WC
will be educational and enjoyable, so come on down and check out the opening weekend. To join the collective you must bring your doctor's recommendation form and California ID.

Hours of the Collective for the first couple weeks will be Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11a.m. to 6 p.m.
The Collective is located at 647 Main St., Space #2A in Riverside 92501.
For more information, call 951-782-8400.

I agree. This place is awesome, I have never seen so much medicine in all my life and it was all very good quality. Its cool to be able to talk to the grower and the competition factor makes for better deals.
