Warning! People of Morro Bay, this is your new pharmacist.


I’m thinking maybe it was the “Up in Smoke” weed van that gave him away.

I cannot discern from the article if this guy is a licensed weed-man who got busted for selling on the street, or is he just a pusher-man. I would think that anyone selling out of their car could be described as “operating a mobile marijuana dispensary.”


To operate a collective one is required to be a 403b Non Profit Organization. As a legally operating collective, it is within the framework of the organization to transport medical marijuana to patients holding valid medical marijuana recommendations.

It is not legal to sell marijuana from a vehicle period, (or anywhere else)


I am gonna file this in my “WHAT on earth was he thinking??!!” file. A head shaker.
