Since AIDS patient Jim McClelland first opened Berkeley Patients Group’s doors on Halloween in 1999, the retailer has grown into one of the most reliable and well-staffed cannabis dispensaries in the state – not to mention the longest-running. The sleek, well-lit space in the heart of West Berkeley boasts a wide range of superb flowers and infused foods as well as starter plants. It has pioneered lab-testing all of its products to ensure it’s selling only clean, pesticide-free products. Finally, BPG contributes to regional non-profits including the AIDS Walk/SF — a leader in philanthropy, too.
