Sacramento Stand Up


It's being called the Wal-Mart of weed: a 10,000-square-foot Sacramento gardening emporium opens Saturday with how-to experts and merchandise to help medical marijuana patients grow pot.
The cavernous weGrow hydroponics store is enthusiastically marketing itself as a retail outlet is the first national franchise for a company that bills itself as a supply and training destination for legal pot growers. In coming months, weGrow stores will open in Arizona, Colorado, New Jersey and Oregon.
The Sacramento Bee says the enterprise started in Oakland last year as a warehouse store called iGrow.
Pot isn't sold or grown at the store.
In the past, hydroponics outlets have avoided any mention of marijuana because pot cultivation is illegal under federal law. But hydroponics stores have exploded as states approve medical marijuana use.
