The doors at CannaHelp will be wide open today, but the medical
marijuana dispenary at 73-350 El Paseo will not be selling any of its
usual products.
The dispensary is holding an open house beginning around 10 a.m.
today, to give patients and the public an inside look.
Medical marijuana advocates are also holding rally between 3 p.m. and
5 p.m. at the dispensary, where area patients are expected to talk
about their current problems obtaining medical marijuana.
"We're hoping that the local officials will recognize the need (for
dispensaries)," said Ryan Michaels, one of the volunteers keeping
CannaHelp open. "I want them to take a stand."
CannaHelp is one of two Coachella Valley dispensaries that have closed
or stopped selling medical marijuana in the past week.
The Collective Apothecary of Palm Springs closed last week. CannaHelp
stopped selling the drug Monday, due to staff and inventory problems
following felony charges the Riverside County District Attorney filed
against owner Stacy Hochanadel and managers John Bednar and James
Campbell.
Information: 1-877-760-4367.

The closed sign has been on the door at the Collective Apothecary of
Palm Springs since last Thursday, but now it's official.
The medical marijuana dispensary at 333 N. Palm Canyon Drive has
closed permanently, said Ben Odell of Platinum Realty Management,
manager for the property.
"The owner called me and said they were closing. Jan. 11," Odell said,
citing federal and Riverside County efforts to close down area
dispensaries as the likely cause.
The CAPS closure led to a wave of patients heading to CannaHelp in
Palm Desert, the Coachella Valley's sole remaining dispensary,
creating a shortage of the drug for area patients. CannaHelp is
temporarily not selling any medical marijuana while it attempts to
resolve legal problems of its own.
The dispensary is having an open house today, with a rally between 3
p.m. and 5 p.m.
