Official San Francisco Medical Marijuana Collectives
Vapor Room
Comments about the Vapor Room
Let me just say a few things: They always get almost the best bud in SF for only a standard of $50 an 8th, $15 a gram, or $25 for 1/16th. What i gotten from this place is so hard to name, but heres a few of my favs: OG XXX, Champagne(must get it if they have it), Jack frost kush, Jack Herea, Super Jack, Chocolope, OG Kush, bubba kush, and many many more. Whats even better is they give you a sticker with the name on it. I collected all of them.
Another plus is you can smoke within this place, kind of like amsterdam. Theres tables and a volcano vaporizer on each table. You can smoke with a group of friends and relax, or sit there for a quick smoke and leave. I love going here alone at times because i met new people. Everyone here is so relaxed. Although the staff is a bit on the bad side at times, once you get to know them, their great. You can also bring your own water pipe and use it, or roll a zag, which they can provide. They also provide bongs for you.
Grass Roots Clinic
Comments about Grass Roots Clinic
You can smoke in grass roots.
But grass roots by far, had the widest selection. They have 8ths ranging from $35-$60. In their $40 and $45 8ths group, they have almost 10 strains in each, then maybe 6-8 in their $50 and $55 section, and at most for their $60 8ths, 3-5 strains. One thing is for sure, you get what you pay for at this dispensary. They eve give you a 10% discount if you spend over $50 and usually give you free stuff if you buy a lot of stuff here. I love this place. Talking about this palce, i want to go tomorrow now.
Retail shops are a sort of second wave of the San Francisco medical marijuana scene.
California first approved the use of medical marijuana in 1996, but it wasn't until 2004 that the state approved the creation of distribution centers. Now medical marijuana stores are sprouting like weeds in San Francisco (sorry); the city council could vote today to limit their number, the WSJ reports.
Hundreds of stores have opened in the past year, and the city now has somewhere around 1,000 marijuana dispensaries. By contrast, San Francisco , which has more rules governing the shops, has about 30.
Earlier this month, voters approved the creation of retail dispensaries in Maine , which has allowed some access to medial marijuana since 1999. Fourteen states now allow some access to medial marijuana, and five allow for retail dispensaries, according to the Associated Press ( Colorado , Rhode Island and New Mexico , along with California and Maine ).
If retail stores are the second wave, maybe taxation will be the third.
Colorado 's attorney general concluded in a formal opinion issued last week that retail sales of marijuana are subject to state and local sales taxes in most instances. Denver is already gearing up to collect local taxes on medical marijuana, the Denver Post notes. And in Oakland , California , voters earlier this year approved a local tax on medical marijuana sales.
Could taxation go beyond medical use? California is at least considering it. This analysis by a state tax official suggests that a $50 per ounce tax on marijuana could raise between $990 million and $1.4 billion.
While plenty of people remain opposed to full legalization (not to mention medical marijuana), support is growing, the Washington Post noted yesterday. Nationwide, 44% of people favor full legalization, up 13 points since 2000, according to a Gallup poll cited by the WaPo.
