MODESTO (CBS SF) — One of California’s best known and longest running cannabis dispensaries won’t be forced to shut its doors – at least for now.
The dispensary — Jayden’s Journey — and its special customers are anxiously waiting for the final word from Stanislaus County officials on the fate of the clinic.
The dispensary’s clientele are dozens of military vets, who feel angry, hurt, and betrayed.
“It’s gut-wrenching not only to myself but to everyone here.” said U.S. Air Force Veteran Chris Barnes, who lost a leg and suffers from severe nerve pain.
The main reasons they use cannabis, the veterans explained, is for post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD, traumatic brain injury, anxiety, pain, or depression.
