The Patient Care First medical marijuana dispensary opened last week on Angie Avenue in Ceres, drawing traffic volumes that have stunned neighboring industrial park businesses.
"I didn't even know such businesses like this existed but they are certainly drawing a lot of business," said an employee of a business west of the cannabis dealer who did not want to be quoted.

A heavy security guard force was maintained at the northern entrance of the building as well as the parking lot to the east where cars were coming and going Friday afternoon. Mostly young people were flocking to the business but stopped by Stone Protection Services security guards at the front door asking to see medical marijuana cards and seeing if they were referred to the new Ceres shop from the Charity Way facility being closed down. Those without a card were denied entry.
