Medical Marijuana Dispensary Opens In Riverside

Marijuana will now be sold legally in Riverside — for medical purposes.

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.
