About Steve DeAngelo and Harborside Health Center:

Harborside Health Center is the nation’s largest not-for-profit model medical cannabis dispensary with locations in Oakland and San Jose, California. The collective was co-founded in 2006 by national cannabis leader Steve DeAngelo, who has contributed four decades of activism and advocacy to the cannabis reform movement. Harborside serves approximately 124,000 registered patients, and offers free holistic health services, lab-tested medicine, a low-income care package program, substance misuse support and education, while strictly complying with state and local laws regarding medical cannabis. Harborside and DeAngelo have also led the way in resisting the U.S. attorneys’ crackdown on regulated medical cannabis providers in California, and currently are litigating two separate lawsuits against the federal government to halt federal efforts to close medical cannabis dispensaries.
