iGrow, a new megastore opening in East Oakland is a place to buy all your marijuana needs and is located just down from the Oakland Airport. You can pick up all your gear for growing medical marijuana and is located ina 15,000 square foot warehouse. It even has an on-site doctor.

iGrow also sells fans, lights, fertilizer, and a technician to teach you how to grow the best marijuana possible. The only thing it can't sell is the seeds to grow the plants.
Oakland is no stranger to pot clubs and it was the first city to pass a law for cannabis clubs. At Oaksterdam University students can even take a class in 'Bud Tending 101'.
The founder of iGrow spoke about his success:
"We’re excited that iGrow was born in the epicenter of the cannabis movement." Dhar Mann, 25, told Weed Bay. "And we’re even more thrilled to see the strong support that the City of Oakland and the community has shown us for the grand opening of our new business."
There is some local opposition to the store however, but most residents are in favor of such a business venture.
The grand opening day also falls on the same day a petition will be handed in to allow pot for pleasure, with twice the number of signatures needed.

What are they going to jail for, a hydroponics store? They exist all over the country, but at least in California the business owner can be honest about what the equipment is primarily used for. Go crawl back into your hole in the middle of the country and stay out of California's business.

RealDeal,What is the deal with you authoritarian types and anal rape? Rush Limbaugh does the same thing all the time. He always brings up the imagery of anal rape (bend over and grab your ankles) like it is the first thing that pops into his mind. From your post it seems that you would take great pleasure in seeing someone anally raped for doing something that you disagree with. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying you're gay. The reference always comes from someone who who claims to be virulently opposed to homosexuality. But there really seems to be an internal struggle with many authoritarians between their disdain for gays and their obsession with sexually humiliation. Anyway I hope you can work this out and I wish you the best of luck.

Seems to me like you are trying to be a copy cat of a real hydro store called Green Coast Hydropnics that has been around for years. Their site is IGrowHydro. At least you could have come up with a different name.

I think marijuana should be legalized for every medical reasons. I live in Atlanta, Georgia, and if you havent found out.. I live in the bible belt, such as i cant buy alchoal on sundays or cannot buy alchoal after 11:30 p.m. every day of the week. I have made pleanty strong statements about why mariuana should be legalized, due to multiple reasons such as economy boost. I do not think marijuana will be completely legalized for consumers, but i strongly think marijuana should be used for medical use.
