Pot wheels: Mobile marijuana dispensary rolls out in Southern California city

A rolling marijuana dispensary has found a new parking spot after officials in the Southern California community of Norco chased it out of town.

Stewart Hauptman had provided medical pot from his motor home for about seven months until he was cited by police for violating a city ban on marijuana dispensaries.

Hauptman's Lakeview Collective-on-Wheels had been selling $10 pot cookies and other items outside a clinic.

But Hauptman says he couldn't afford to fight the city zoning laws.

Hauptman says he hasn't had any problems since he moved his dispensary out of Norco to an unincorporated area of Riverside County this month.

A 1996 voter initiative legalized marijuana for medical use in California, but court battles are being fought about whether cities can ban distribution.
