The name “Oaksterdam” is arrived at by mixing the names of cannabis- tolerant Amsterdam and Oakland, and the downtown district near the 19th Street BART station is now home to eight medical marijuana clubs. One such club is a new three-story dispensary on Telegraph Avenue that owner Ken Estes says will eventually house an organic food cafe, along with an on-site chiropractor, acupuncturist and a doctor.
Apparently the first of its kind in the United States, this cannabis community offers a range of services. Patients can pick up city-sanctioned patient identification cards, purchase $550 lung-friendly inhalers that allow the medicine to be vaporized rather than smoked, get marijuana-growing equipment or buy cannabis in any form, from green buds to lollipops.
“San Francisco and Oakland have Chinatown and Japantown. Now we’re going to have pot town. Better yet, hemp town,” said Randy Csongor, the manager of Best Collateral pawn shop, which sits in the middle of medical marijuana row.
Club owners are circumspect about where they get their product, which they sell to patients at prices ranging from $50 an ounce to more than $400 an ounce for the highest grade.
The dispensary owners — who acquire the usual business licenses but no other official permits for cannabis distribution — are caught in an uncomfortable legal position. The city and state say they are legal under Proposition 215, the medical marijuana compassionate use initiative that California voters passed in 1996.
