Yuba County will get its first medical marijuana store within the next week, with a Yuba City man in the final stages of opening a cooperative dispensary in a Linda strip mall.
Marysville Healing Center, as owner Chander Sidher plans to call it, will have a small retail store in the front and a secured area in the back where medical marijuana cardholders will be able to buy different varieties of pot for smoking as well as in edible and balm forms.
"I really believe in this," said Sidher, 50, whose store will be at 1600 North Beale Road. "I don't think we need to charge people $200 to go to doctor's offices and get pills for pain."
Sidher, who said he has all necessary permits for the store, said he got interested in medical marijuana because of his own arthritis from years as a contractor and his son's experience with lingering pain from a car accident.
His son's doctor prescribed him vicodin, a powerful drug with some narcotic qualities that made his son unable to work. Sidher said he feels compared to that, medical marijuana is safer and smarter.
The store, about 1,700 square feet, will open early next week, Sidher said.
But even though the dispensary's shelving and displays are not yet complete, the word is already out. A Yuba County man who did not want to be identified came into the store this week in search of a prescription, and said he'd read a newspaper ad that tipped him off to the store.
Sidher said he's affiliated with a marijuana collective in Sacramento with as many as 25 percent of its patients traveling from Butte, Yuba and Sutter counties.

They were supposed to open in Linda Ca in the 1st week or 2nd week of July but stupid law enforcement got involved. They stated his should have had a co op of plants growing before he could legally open. It would have been a great place to sell medical marijuana or clones. The county sheriff got in the way as well as the district supervisor for Linda. They put a halt on the operation and any future plans. What a crappy county voiding the California laws and rules approved by prop 215. Yuba County said it was OK and Sutter County is against any shops opening up. What a joke. The guy who is the manager of the shop better not give up!!! We really need some freedom of 215 here. Anyone who is smart enough would approve it. This place keeps things under control for the patients who have done there paper work for the cards to verify that they allowed to smoke legally. Shame on Yuba County they are breaking the laws of Ca. Which they most likely get off on by doing so.........Write to the appeal democrat and state you opinion about this mater please. We deserve some freedoms of the 215 proposition... Thanks Wildgarden....

Right On,
Yuba County,Butte County, and even the suroundings all the way up the Redding need help badly.
We need to pressure our elected officials to follow the law. Then when they don't follow the law we have to involve ASA, everywhere that the county laws are being manipulated and twisted for their own egotistical agendas.
It's becoming a tit for tat game with the law itself.
It's sad, but the tide is changing for the better wave by wave.
