Orange County, California, is one of the hottest, mostly untapped markets in the United States for retail cannabis sales, according to industry professionals—but not all of its citizens are pleased by the prospect.

This summer, Santa Ana will become home to Planet 13, a retail cannabis superstore with over 16,000 square feet of dispensary space—the largest in the state. Co-CEO Bob Groesbeck said the site was chosen because of the county’s potential for big business.
