According to Greenworks SD's website, the dispensary had not officially opened its doors for business but was making deliveries to patients.
"ATTENTION GREENWORKS MEMBERS!!!," reads the dispensary's website. "We will be answering our phone!!! Setting up deliveries only! We are not open."
The raid shows the difficulties for dispensaries and other collectives to operate in the City of San Diego, even before they open for business.
A spokesperson for the Drug Enforcement Agency in San Diego said no arrests were made during the raid and approximately 8-10 pounds of marijuana were confiscated from the site.
"We conducted an inspection because they told us the business was closed and it wasn't. It looked as if there was a recent grow at the site," said the spokesperson.
