Controversial cannabis shop for sale at $9 million

Helios Dayspring is trying to sell his remodeled commercial property for $9 million. This is less than a year after the city of San Luis Obispo revoked his permit to run a cannabis shop, according to a report by CalCoast News.

In January 2021, Dayspring finished a full remodel of the property that used to be a warehouse. The building now has a reception area and waiting room, retail space, a climate-controlled clone room, a customer lounge, an employee break room, a manager's office with large glass walls, a conference room, and a climate-controlled vault.

The advertisement says that the project was built with high-efficiency appliances, solar power, and charging stations for electric cars in mind.

Six months after FBI and IRS agents raided Dayspring's home on the edge of SLO, prosecutors charged Dayspring with one count of bribery and one count of filing a false tax return. In June 2020, Dayspring said that he had tried to bribe former Grover Beach Mayor John Shoals and former SLO County Supervisor Adam Hill.

In October 2020, Dayspring gave his live-in girlfriend Valnette Garcia ownership of Natural Healing Center SLO. This was right before he pleaded guilty to tax fraud and bribery charges.

A year later, the city of SLO took away the pot shop's license because Dayspring had not told them about his criminal past and had lied about owning the land underneath the shop.

On September 15, 2021, Dayspring paid $4.2 million for the house at 2640 Broad Street. Dayspring says that he has spent more than $4 million to fix up the house since then.

On May 27, Dayspring will be sentenced in federal court in Los Angeles. He could get up to 13 years in prison.
