Oakland, CA, Dec. 15, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oakland, Calif.—Harborside is proud to be selected “Best Dispensary” by the San Francisco Chronicle’s 2018 GreenState Cannabis Awards! The first-ever awards honor exceptional performance throughout the cannabis industry.
“There are some moments you know you will remember the rest of your life, and day one of legal cannabis will be one of those moments for me,” said Harborside/FLRish CEO Steve DeAngelo. “Thousands of activists—including everyone who has ever worked at Harborside or supported our efforts—have worked for decades, with tremendous courage and determination, to end Prohibition and its many injustices. My heart overflows with gratitude to every single one of them that I am alive to see this good day. We fought for it, we won it, and now we will claim the full fruits of our victory.”
