I&#8217;ve been waiting since CA legalized to see where the nearest store to Q would be, as it would get a lot of business in December and January. <strong>The Prime Leaf<\/strong> opened 2 months ago, just behind the Albertson&#8217;s on 7th.  It&#8217;s the first fully-legal shop on I-10 when traveling eastbound, and has easy on and off freeway access, plus adequate parking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arizona is a medical state, a very weak medical state, but with a huge market operating with few rules.  One rule, though,  says the stores can sell to residents only, so it&#8217;s basically an illegal state to non-residents.  So for those on I-10, Blythe will be the first legal store encountered.  Snowbirds heading to Q and Yuma likely come from illegal states in the north and east, so this might be the first legal store for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the Intake Blvd exit <strong>Have a Heart <\/strong>(a Seattle name) has broken ground and will build a store, complete with a tall freeway-obvious sign at the first exit in CA.  They&#8217;re a few months away at least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking cannabis across state borders is illegal federally.  This is a non-issue between Q and Blythe as long as you have common sense: Keep your purchase out of sight in your car, do not consume in your car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Prime Leaf <\/strong>is listed on leafly. com, has a large and varied assortment, and the prices are surprisingly reasonable for CA.  They should do well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not in Quartzsite, but in Blythe, California.
