Two More Recreational Marijuana Shops to Open This Month in Seattle Area

It took some time for the legal marijuana retail shops to roll out. But once things get rolling, it just seems to keep going. Let’s hope this becomes a trend.

October saw the opening of two, Ocean Greens and Praxa, and now we can expect at least two more retail shops this month. We got rain in the forecast: Rain City Cannabis, located off of Rainier Avenue South, is already teasing us with what to expect when they open their doors:

Dockside Cannabis will be opening a recreational pot shop at the very Northern border of Seattle, in Shoreline. Keep your eyes peeled for these shops to open and we will keep you up to date with any other openings.

 

The Wild West is Still Wild

The East Coast has been around much longer than the Western states, but it’s these states that are getting it done. While Florida failed to pass medical marijuana legislation this week, and Washington D.C. became the first entity on the East coast to pass a semi-recreational marijuana bill, Oregon and Alaska boldly and with a statement, joined Colorado and Washington State. True to it’s roots, the Wild West carries a certain swagger, “taking the laws into their own hands.” And according to this article, Arizona, California, and Nevada may be up next.

With the help from these two and their suggestions, we expanded our list of recreational marijuana laws/regulations that need to change now. Feel free to comment on this article and add any thoughts or suggestions you may have.

 

Will Seattle Be the Next Amsterdam, Uncle Ike’s Hauls in Almost $14,000 Per Day During First Week, and More!

Will Seattle Be the Next Amsterdam?

Is Seattle or Denver america’s answer to Amsterdam?  Having been to Amsterdam a crazy amount of times, we can give you the short answer: No. We would need to replace our streets with cobblestones, dig up a few hundred canals, and adopt the color of orange to replace our emerald. Oh, and we would need to allow prostitution. All joking aside, it is possible, and a lot has to happen, but at this point no. Still, pot tourism when comparing our pioneering cities with the great Amsterdam makes for a good read and considers the possibilities. Check out the article at Conde Nest Traveler of all places.

Will Seattle Be the Next Amsterdam?

According to CapitolHillSeattle.com, Uncle Ike’s Pot Shop hauled in almost $14,000 in total sales per day, in the first week! We stopped by just yesterday and everything seems to be sailing just fine. The pot shop has yet to put on the finishing touches such as the outdoor sign (they are using a temporary sign), and we only saw one church pot protester!

Thoughts on Responsible and Effective Branding

Peg from CannaDesign shared an interesting and important article on Twitter considering we are in the beginnings of a brand new industry. You major players – yes you – have the responsibility to forge forth and lay the foundation and ground work that we can build upon. That includes being mindful of women, a portion of the market, when branding.
