The world’s first medical marijuana farmers market is set to take place in L.A. from July 4-6, allowing patients to purchase cannabis directly from growers.
The market hopes to create a better relationship between growers and patients, giving them a new way to safely access marijuana from trustworthy suppliers.

“This is an opportunity that unfortunately is not seen as much as we would like,” California Heritage Market executive administrator Paizley Bradbury said of the chance for patients and growers to interact. “We’re hoping that the California Heritage Market can bridge this gap and provide a new and affordable experience for those who need safe access they can trust.”
The market also seeks to educate users, with the author of Modern Marijuana Living slated to be there.
