Sustainably and locally-grown marijuana plants and goods were sold to the masses last year at the Los Angeles-based California Heritage Market. The farmers’ market supported the idea of getting rid of the dispensary middleman and connecting farmers directly with the consumers, thus supporting local businesses and allowing the consumer to get the education they desire.
Due to a few legal hiccups – such as getting background checks for all vendors – the hotly anticipated second iteration is still in the works. This particular market was not limited to selling cannabis and cannabis-related products, including a plethora of produce choices that could be found in a traditional market. To circumvent the unforgiving legality behind such public markets, organizers have been looking to states where the plant is legal as well as finding private homes and lands to set up shop.
