“What’s being billed as the Bay Area’s largest full service marijuana superstore opened in Oakland filled with the enthusiastic support of local politicians, reports CBS Station KPIX in San Francisco. But don’t expect to buy any pot there. The very first customers Thursday at the iGrow store on Hegenberger Road found a doctor ready to help with a medical marijuana prescription, even a massage therapist. The actual plant however was nowhere on site. ‘Basically we have everything you would need for medicinal marijuana except for the plants itself. So everything from the systems to the nutrients to the pest control,’ said operations manager Justin Jorgenson. In other words, it’s not a pot club. It’s a gardening supply store that sales sophisticated hydroponic systems to help you grow your own — whether that’s pot, tomatoes or roses. ‘We’re saying look, we’ll openly talk to people about marijuana if they have the correct documentation,’ Jorgenson said.” (01/28/10)
