Discovery Channel is set to announce a potentially controversial new series: A docu-soap reality show set in the country’s largest medical marijuana distributorship and starring a pot reform activist. This fall, the network will unveil Weed Wars, where cameras follow the day-to-day dealings of a California ganja store.
The show follows Steve DeAngelo, the owner of Oakland’s Harborside Health Center, which serves 80,000 clients. According to the network, DeAngelo strives to provide patients with the highest-quality product and uses his business to promote the national regulation and taxation of cannabis.
“Weed Wars fearlessly pulls back the curtain on a once illegal and still controversial world,” said Nancy Daniels, executive vp at Discovery Channel. “From the inner workings of the business to Steve’s distinctive leadership style, Weed Wars is a fascinating glimpse into this highly unique setting. Like Gold Rush or Deadliest Catch, these are guys pursuing their own version of the American Dream.”

California passed the Compassionate Use Act in 1996 that permitted legalized pot dispensaries where customers can select from a variety of toke-able or edible products if they have a doctor’s approval. Some have accused the Act of essentially legalizing marijuana. But in addition to providing relief to some patients struggling with severe illnesses, the passage has also resulted in a new breed of local-owned brick-and-mortar outlets at a time when retail stores are shutting down as commerce increasingly shifts to big box stores and Internet.
The show will follow the journey of the plant from germination to harvesting to sales at Harborside, which has opened up a second location in San Jose despite “constant police monitoring and security sweeps,” says to the network.
What do you think, will you check out Weed Wars this fall? It’s sort of like Cake Boss with pot … or not.

a friend of mine is trying to get a job here...he said he might even get on the show..

regarding harborside...FUCK THAT PLACE. ive given that place alot of my business in the past, but once i learned about their corrupt actions i am boycotting them and advising many to do the same..


HHC contributes lots of money to the ASA, which is one of the most corrupt marijuana groups out there....in san diego they are supporting more regulations that target dispensaries not within the collective. they are basically trying to create a monopoly where only their dispensary can do business...they are doing this by lobbying for increased zoning regulations that will shut clubs down...

in oakland HHC has done the same as well, theres only a few clubs in oakland because HHC has eliminated competition..

their nugs are frosty and sometimes good but always lacking in taste, its all hydro, warehouse grown crap.....and its way too pricy. and the whole consignment thing is BS...i gotta wait an additional MONTH on top of the 2 months it took to grow to get paid? who would even bother with that! plus they give your information to the feds...they dont care about mom and pop growers, they are collaborating with big warehouses and setting up their own 50kw warehouses left and right... eventually they will grow all their own pot and hand over grower records to whatever LEO agency raids them...

the clones are all 8th generation watered down genetics....the best clones i bought where some fire OGs, but they lacked vigor. threw one outside in a 200 gallon and it barely grew, one of the worst plants in my garden.....

Unfortunately, this heavily goes into the area of taunting the DEA and this dude will soon be busted.... I wish it wouldn't happen, but mark my words.....it will

I would never do a show like this if I was in this guys position
