US CA: Column: Harborside And Oaksterdam Don’t Attract Crime

East Bay Express, 03 Oct 2012 – Newly Released Police Records Prove That the Medical Pot Institutions Are Not Menaces to Society. Newly released records from the Oakland Police Department provide conclusive evidence that the world’s largest medical pot dispensary, Harborside Health Center, and the famed cannabis college, Oaksterdam University, do not attract crime – thereby refuting allegations that such places are menaces to society. According to records of OPD calls, incidents, and arrests, Harborside, which sees 700 to 1,000 patients a day, was the site of just one arrest in almost four years – – and that involved a non-patient who tried to get into the club.
