'Barstow belongs to Satan': 29-acre Calif. pot mall plan draws controversy

An abandoned outlet mall could soon be a new 29-acre “cannabis super center” in the middle of California’s Mojave Desert.
The development sits along one of California’s busiest traffic corridors, located about halfway between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. A cannabis real estate firm was marketing the “cannabis super center” as “the most unique green zone property in the entire country”
The location is a former outlet mall that has sat vacant for nearly two decades, but a new developer has already broken ground on retrofitting the mall’s 24 different buildings into legal pot businesses. Initial plans include licensing for 20 different pot farms, six cannabis distributors, five cannabis manufacturers and two retail dispensaries

Sounds like a nice place to visit

so much going on these days, things move so fast.

I never have understood the prohibition on a weed. I believe alcohol is a lot worse than marijuana.

Not a good time to try farming in the California desert.

indoor takes a lot less water than outdoor..

Thats a lot of roof surface on all those buildings, they might even put in a rainwater catch system..

I read there's a glut in the market, that growers aren't being paid. Is that true? Too many hoops to jump through and what-ifs. Long live the black market.

too many people see it as an easy way to make a lot of money and flood their markets. it's happened in the past, as states started to legalize. some states auto correct after a couple of years, as people fail spectacularly, and some states stay fucked up...
usually, after the first two years prices regulate and supply drops enough to make it worth while again, at least on our market.
