The Cannabis Buyers Club was the first public medical marijuana dispensary. It opened in February 1994 at 194 Church Street in San Francisco, founded by the Proposition 215 coauthors, a California law concerning the use of medical cannabis.
194 Church had previously been established in 1990 as a lower profile medicinal marijuana retail location by a small collective of people, and mostly to help those suffering from AIDS. The Cannabis Buyers Club, prior to being legalized under California law, was at Ford and Sanchez Street in San Francisco, 1993. Still subject to legal hassles after that date, it eventually changed its name to ‘Cannabis Cultivators Club.’
