We are witnessing the downfall of cannabis culture. Everything that used to be great about marijuana is now being commercialized by greedy entrepreneurs who want nothing but your money. They would like nothing more than to monopolize the "industry", lobby, legalize, squeeze others out and then probably persecute those who don't play by their new rules. Hope I'm wrong!!!

Sorry, I meant 725 square-feet, as is written in the planning documents. http://www.abetteroakland.com/documents/oa…
But it does look like a 7,300 square-footer.
Also, sorry about Brooklyn. I got that from R.B. Morris III site: http://rbmorrisiii.com/News.html
Corrections:
The wall is over 7,300 square feet (I'm not sure what 725 number represents.
I am an East Bay resident, born and raised in Cali - nothing "Brooklyn" about me! (or Munir for that matter)
