VALLEJO MARIJUANA DISPENSARY ON MARIN STREET WILL ALSO SELL GROCERIES

The owner of one of Vallejo's dozen or more medical marijuana dispensaries hopes to deflect growing criticism against his industry by bringing groceries downtown. 

He vows in particular to bring some products found at Trader Joe's and Whole Foods, as well as other markets.  If successful, his would be among a very few downtown stores selling grocery items. 

California Maritime Academy graduate, part-time actor and Vallejo resident Matt Shotwell said he plans to separate part of his 3,800 square-foot dispensary space at 616 Marin St.  and devote it to groceries and coffee.  He said he's not yet sure how much space will be allotted for groceries, but he'll sell no meat or produce, only snacks, drinks, condiments and other non-perishables.
