A Newport Beach couple have opened what they describe as a marijuana school, and city officials say it's legal as long as they don't distribute pot there.
Chadd and Alysha McKeen don’t care that passersby can see the six 3-foot-tall marijuana plants growing inside their new storefront.
“I want to tell people to stop being afraid of it,” Chadd McKeen, co-founder of Otherside Farms, told the Daily Pilot. “We want to bring it out into the open.”
The McKeens also put in new tile and ripped the bars off the windows at the center, which sits between a dog-grooming business and a therapeutic spa. It’s all part of an effort to make the place appear open and inviting.
The shop at 2424 Newport Blvd. in Costa Mesa bills itself as a “medical marijuana information center.” It offers classes on everything from how to grow marijuana for medicinal purposes to how to make pot brownies. The six plants growing underneath special lights in one foil-padded room of the shop are strictly for teaching purposes, the couple said.

Thank GOD for people like this ..... with my wife having rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus for 22+ years and becoming addicted to doctor-prescribed opiates, medical marijuana was heaven-sent for us. She had to detox completely on her own from the opiates (took 5 long agonizing weeks) and now .... I make capsules of her new medicine and by taking it this way, she doesn't get any "high" .... just calmness and pain relief. Oh yea .... her blood pressure has gone from 178/84 to 130/78 in just one month.
