On Sunday, a couple hundred people gathered near the Oakland Airport for a celebration of the grand re-opening of the country's largest cannabis-friendly hydroponics superstore, weGrow, formerly known as iGrow.

 

The new branding is part of an ambitious national expansion. In less than a year, weGrow has become the first superstore of its type, sometimes jokingly referred to as the "Home De-Pot" of hydroponic stores. Oakland Local reported on iGrow as part of a 6-part Cannabis Business series in March. Now weGrow has an operational store in Burlingame, one soon to open in Sacramento, and over 70 franchise stores already under contract across the nation.

 

In other parts of the country an event called "Hemp Evolution" would not likely draw many politicians. But several local and distant elected officials showed up to support weGrow, including City Councilmember and mayoral candidate Jean Quan (who crafted Oakland's first dispensary ordinance), Councilmember Larry Reid (in whose district the company operates), and Councilmember Desley Brooks. State Senator and mayoral candidate Don Perata also attended, saying that since we already have four medical marijuana facilities, "Oakland is a natural for the industry sprouting up." Even a State Senator from New Mexico, Cisco McSorley, came in to offer his support.
