VISTA, Calif. – A video tour premieres April 15th that takes a “behind-the-doors” look at five of Vista, California’s successful cannabis dispensaries and the positive impact the new industry is making in the North County town.
The California Cannabis Corridor: The Movie! is an informative, funny and heartfelt look inside the city’s successful dispensary community. The film features Vista Councilmember Joe Green as the host/tour guide. A trailer for the film is available today at CCCTheMovie.com.
Green was elected in 2016 and championed the citizens initiative Measure Z which was passed by Vista voters in 2018 to allow legal cannabis dispensaries. Green believes the film is an important step towards dispelling any remaining myths about the safety and legal operation of cannabis dispensaries.
“Each of our 11 dispensaries are helping to revitalize several areas of our community, and are providing safe, reliable access to medical and recreational cannabis in comfortable and friendly environments. The industry has evolved into treating everything from insomnia, PTSD and other mental health conditions to relief from aching joints and gluten intolerance.”
Prior to legalizing cannabis in 2018, the City of Vista spent more than $1 million per year combatting 21 illegal retail dispensaries. “Measure Z has been 100 percent effective in removing the illegal cannabis trade from our city while becoming a tremendous community benefit contrary to sceptics’ concerns.”
The City estimates the dispensaries will generate $9 million in tax revenues in 2023-24 fiscal year which will support programs for homeless relief, health clinics, community events and new parks.
The film captures Green’s signature passionate personality as he interviews dispensary operators from Off The Charts, Tradecraft Farms, Coastal Cannabis, Wellgreens and Hello Cannabis.
California Cannabis Corridor: The Movie! is produced in collaboration with A Different Day Radio, Star Fox Media and HPC.Media under the GuideMe.Tours collaborative. GuideMe.Tours produces video and audio podcast tours, including Vista’s Pioneer Beer Trail and Visiting Downtown Vista.
