On July 4th, 1996, Jeff Jones opened the Oakland Cannabis Buyers Club
on the fifth floor of 1755 Broadway. When the OCBC was prevented from
distributing cannabis by the Federal government in 1998, other clubs
opened, starting with The Zoo at 1736 Telegraph.
The OCBC stayed open issueing medical marijuana ID cards and
operating a hemp store, moving in 1999 to 1733 Broadway, next door to
the Four Seasons hydroponics store that had just opened.
The Bulldog Coffeeshop opened in December 1999, followed by
Compassionate Caregivers the next year at their original location, 1740
Telegraph. By 2004, 8 cannabis clubs gave visitors a wide selection of
products and created hundreds of jobs in Oakland.
Oakland can be proud to have helped thousands that came from all
over the state before cannabis clubs opened where they lived.
