San Francisco’s 29 medical cannabis dispensaries have received just eleven complaints in five years , making them a global model for safe, reliable access. But every crop yields some bad fruit, and at least one club — Nor Cal Herbal Relief — has had some serious problems over the last year.
This summer, the city seems to have successfully dealt with the problem by re-assigning the dispensary to new owners who are taking the historic responsibility much more seriously. The new Waterfall Wellness Health Center is fantastically well-stocked and almost always empty — making it a downright delight in the otherwise dry southeast corner of the city. Few patients know the club is under new management and has cleaned up its act. It wasn’t always so.
