(LA Weekly) There has been an abandoned Kentucky Fried Chicken in Palms, slumping sadly these past few months on the corner of Exposition Blvd. and Hughes Ave. What, locals wondered, would replace it? A new burger joint? A Peruvian rotisserie chicken stand? It turns out that the KFC has been replaced by… a KFC. In this instance, though, the KFC stands for “Kind For Cures”, and while they do sell things that are edible, you can’t buy them, or even ask about them, without a prescription.
There have been marijuana dispensaries popping up all over Southern California of late, but this one is slightly different. Rather than tearing the whole thing down and starting from scratch, the proprietors of this alternative KFC decided to incorporate the design of the previous tenants. They have removed the official Kentucky Fried Chicken logo, but the rest of the building remains mostly intact.
Click on the link and you can see a picture of the building. Frankly, it could use some landscaping and something to cover the hole where the Colonel’s face used to be. And wouldn’t it be cool if you could get fried chicken at the dispensary? Somebody open a dispensary in a Popeye’s so I can get those crackbeans and some chronic!
(I call their green beans “crackbeans”, because they are so addictive I think they are made with crack. Popeye’s green beans are on my fast food top five list along with Taco John’s bean burritos with the green hot sauce, Jack in the Box sausage breakfast burritos, In-N-Out Double Doubles, and Dairy Queen combination Chocolate X-treme + Heath Bar Blizzards. Wrong, unhealthy, and sinful, I know, but so vewy vewy good…)

Just wanted to chime in here. I’m a dispensary owner in California and have alot of friends who’ve opened up in the newer states. Alot of people are trying to get into the business and not knowing where to start. I too would like to see medical cannabis widely accessible have a free newsletter with free tips and tricks on how to get one open. The more we flex our rights, the more the feds will legalize access. Its a fun business also. It just shouldn’t be made so damned hard to get into. My free newsletter for any that are interested is at Start A Dispensary.
I read the LA Weekly story, and had to go to this new KFC. LOVE IT !! It’s only a mile from my house and I use to buy chicken there. Now I buy my meds there. Yes, I do have my “recommendation” And YES I really have a need for it (major back & leg pain). They tossed in a little humor to their location. (It’s not at all like those other blacked out window, seedy, scary places). It’s an old 70′s Kentucky Fried Chicken in the waiting area, but inside the med room, nothing like a KFC. Ok, they did say the metal on the walls was reused from the old fry hoods. Mark this place a GREAT !
LOVE IT, that probably put a couple people back to work, thats great news. If medical marijuana can help the sick, help the jobless, and help the state generate money in these hard times, it would be an even wiser move to legalize marijuana for adults 21 and over and create a huge new industry full of job opportunities, and make it easier for sick people to access their medicine while pumping billions on new tax money into the state. What are we waiting for? How will the City of LA once again SCREW UP something that could give Los Angeles a nice boot of $$$ and jobs. Tic tic tic
Legalize for responsible adults 21 and over! How hard can that be?
Its a WIN WIN!
