The Discovery Channel has greenlit, so to speak, a new reality show to debut this fall that follows the owner of a medical marijuana dispensary, according to a report published Wednesday morning.

Focusing on Steve DeAngelo (pictured, left), proprietor of the Harborside Health Center in Oakland, Weed Wars looks to strip the mystique off the emerging, legally ambiguous world of retail marijuana sales.

"From the inner workings of the business to Steve’s distinctive leadership style, Weed Wars is a fascinating glimpse into this highly unique setting," Discovery executive Nancy Daniels told Entertainment Weekly. "Like Gold Rush or Deadliest Catch, these are guys pursuing their own version of the American Dream."

In California, where medical marijuana has been legal and easily available since 1996, hundreds of such clinics have sprung up, with Oakland and Los Angeles being ground zero.

1. Looking forward to their ALCOHOL Reality Show.

I'd bet there are some people in criminal justice in this country who would LOVE to talk about that.
