Still not convinced that medical cannabis dispensaries are part of the lifeblood of the communities they serve? Consider that patient members of Orangevale’s Magnolia Wellness Collective gave 25 pints of plasma in last year’s Orangevale Community Blood Drive.
Magnolia, which just became the Sacramento region’s first dispensary to unionized its employees, hopes to double the amount of donated blood this year. To prime the plasma pump, Magnolia will give its registered patients a free medicated edible from Uncle Buck’s Bakery when they donate blood at Friday’s drive. Better than the donuts and orange juice people usually get for donating blood.

Here’s a map for those who want to go from the blood drive location to Magnolia Wellness Collective to get their Uncle Buck baked good.
