Hoping to obtain financial solvency, Desert Hot Springs, California, has cultivated a potentially lucrative agreement with GfarmaLabs, firing up the largest marijuana production facility in California’s high desert.

From broke to ballin’: Sill recovering from their 2014 declaration of insolvency, Desert Hot Springs will be the first municipality in Southern California to give the proverbial green light for a commercial medical marijuana cultivation facility. As an increasing number of destitute desert towns appear eager to lure cultivators to their financially downtrodden cities, officials in Desert Hot Springs are rushing to aid marijuana startups get their cultivation sites up and flourishing.

Anxious to germinate their first crop of cannabis, Berto Torres of GfarmaLabs explained to ABC7, “It’s going to be filled with greenhouses. It’s going to be an agricultural center out in the middle of the desert.”

In an attempt at keeping everyone safe and happy, Desert Hot Spring’s zoning ordinances required Gfarma provide additional security monitoring for the marijuana industrial park. As such, Gfarma agreed to install and maintain cameras around the facility and post armed security guards 24 hours a day.

Stimulating the economy and pulling in potential world-class cultivators from the known cannabis capitals around the globe, Ben Breinberg migrated from the Netherlands to open a hydroponic grow shop. Excited by the opportunity, Breinberg explained, “This is going to be the biggest in the world. So yeah, I’m happy to be right in the middle of it.”

Producing cannabinoid-rich Prop-215 products like G Drinks, G Stiks (pre-rolled joints), pre-loaded vape pens, and a plethora of THC and CBD infused chocolates, the Mayor of Desert Hot Springs anticipates that GfarmaLabs will spark the local economy and generate approximately $1 million in new tax revenue
