Weed Wars is an American reality-documentary television series that documents a popular medical marijuana dispensary, Harborside Health Center, in Oakland, California.

[2] In regards to their intentions by allowing their business to be documented for television, Steve DeAngelo has said, "We wanted to be a model to other dispensaries, most of [which] have a media phobia.

We wanted to tell our story and we gave Discovery complete access so that people could make up their own minds...

There are a lot of stereotypes about who comes to these dispensaries, but viewers will see our customers cover a huge cross-section of the population – age, race and economic classes.

"[3] The series is mainly focused on the employees of the marijuana dispensary and the day-to-day aspects of running the business.
