    Please See it our Way

    Keep in mind that Oakland Cannabis Buyers Cooperative is a health organization.
    Our services are for those who suffer from serious illnesses and disabilities. 
    Non-medical inquiries for cannabis are neither appreciated nor tolerated.

    We do not send, mail or ship cannabis.

    This site provides information for patients using cannabis through their doctors' recommendation; and exists because the voters of California said yes to providing cannabis for medical use.

    Please don't test the law by trying to establish illegal transactions via this site.
