There should be one next to every Dunkin Donuts in every state!

As an SF Bay Area resident, I feel compelled to point out that this is not the first place to allow certified patients to acquire and use cannabis on-premises. Ahem.

I was wondering the same thing Lexica. Aren't there a number of these places in Oakland?

I'm sure there is some technicality the article is referring to that separates the two cases.

Why not merge the two so the cops can hang out with the burn-outs? Peace will spread across the nation!!!
