Please make a better picture. Brick-weed just is bad press for Portland.
Would you prefer this?
I agree with Mark. Seriously, better picture needed. Portland ranks #1 in so many things, this would also be one of them.
Yes, a better picture would serve the great city of Portland, HOWEVER, although I agree that Portland is #1 in many things, (#1 city to find a goth girl to be your bank teller,) I believe California has the first canabis club(S) and has so many we can’t even find them all, (neither can the feds, though they consume mass quantities of our tax dollars trying,) and EVERYBODY knows, we got the best weed! That point is not even arguable, even Jamaicans come to California to smoke our weed Fact is, we got the climate and elevation. You got….fog, rain, and TONS of BC weed which everybody knows is CRAP!
In fact, Canadians from BC moved to our neighborhood last year and paid a rediculous amount of money for a piece of property to grow weed because they were tired of kayaking pounds of their BC Bunk across treacherous waters, dodging agents, and then getting sub par prices for it, appropriately. I’ve had Portland weed, right before the Portlanders bought Cali’s finest from my friends… I will however, herald this wonderful advancement in civilization and culture, of course, known by ancient cultures for thousands of years, and then taken back to primitive status by the draconian laws bestowed upon us in the 30s by the industrialists. Finally, we the people take back our medical rights!!! Right on Portland!!!
nope CAli is waaaaay TOO commercial… chemy, hydro weed at the majority of their shops..
we take pride in organics here in oregon.
I’m with ya. F$ck NorCal. Keep your biker grown, outdoor garbage outta our town. Cali isn’t even close to what we do.
Cali herb is far from #1 quality. The best in this country is easily from OR and the NW. Cali is close but after serving host to all the CA refugees that moved here, true Oregonians are sick of Californians and your self entitled attitude. Go back to Vallejo!
Looks like the stuff I throw away
great news! i wish we had more cafe’ style places here in the los angeles area, there once was an awesome cafe’ style dispensary a few blocks from my house, i had such a great time there meeting so many like minded people, sadly the dea put an end to that one day =\
man that pic looks horrible, i hope the people up north in oregon don’t get stuff like that, looks like a bad headache just waiting to happen…looks like some crappy south of the border dirt weed imho
LOL! That was the very first thing I noticed about the article: how shwaggy the stock picture is! My lord.
I’ve been working for pot magazines for years and have been visiting your beautiful state for the past few and I will say that Oregon should proudly boast having some of the best growers and breeders in the WORLD. Not to mention having some of the most progressive MMJ laws in the country.
It is pretty sad that that lame-ass picture is all they could come up with. What? No pictures of even the outside of the cafe? Sheesh!
Anyway, mazel tov Portland!
As long as it is illegal, I can’t support this. I don’t care about the pros of weed use and the waste of money to crack down on it, unless congress changes I cant do anything about it other than vote. but I will tell you that 90% of busts by the feds and cops, and the many many killings that go along with drug deals gone bad, 90% of them have legit MJ cards from Cali, OR etc.
If they make MJ legal, fine, let them do it, but people are getting killed over bud. If you use now, you have blood on your hands. Good luck
Blood on my hands? Oh the drama.
Really Rusty. Where did you come up with 90%? And even giving you the benefit of the massive doubt, it would be about the best reason I’ve heard to legalize. No more blood. No more drama. Woe is me.
The first vaporizer lounge for OMMP cardholders has just opened in SE Portland at Highway 420 located at 6418 SE Foster.
A small fee to join the Highway 420 club and identification and a current MM card are all you need to medicate in a comfortable environment.
Highway 420

Are California pot-licenses recognized in Oregon? Can I show my California prescription in Oregon’s Cannabis cafe and be served?
re/para bonger: Great question. I too would like to know that since I visit the great city of Portland regularly. Then the next question would be, feds notwithstanding, how do we legally get some of that fantastic Cali weed up there from Cali? Variety is the spice of life. Maybe some Maui, some Alaskan Thunder F@&$, (otherwise known as Sarah Palin,) and I bet right about now, Colorado is coming up with some interesting 14-er strains, since they are new to the block of legal MMJ states, (Maybe some Pike’s Peak Pot? Maybe Continental Deviderator? Maybe Rocky Mountain High??? Apologies to John Denver…)
Re/Rusty… Dude, are you high on CRACK??? There are no MMJ card carrying violent offenders. The clowns that are sticking up the L.A. clubs are gangster wannabes that are upset about the legal clubs invading their “turf”, as if they owned the streets. Nobody who smokes commits crimes of violence, and as for it being illegal, do your history homework you will find that the states rights issues are the reason for the American Civil War. We the people have decided, without the graces of the bunch of criminals in Congress, who, if you are paying attention, continue to vote policies into law that keep their investments into multi national corporations profitable, at the expense of the common man and woman. Hence the draconian pot laws of the thirties, still on the books, still propagated by lies in absolute contradiction and denial of the continued scientific proof that weed is GOOD FOR YOU!!! That’s ok, though, Rusty, you can take all the pharmaceutical narcotics you like for whatever ails ya, continue to support the failed health care system and it’s cronies. They will love treating you for the harm done by those narcotics. That is what they do best. Take ONLY the drugs the cops tell you to take. They know best what is good for you, right? It’s still somewhat of a free country, have the day of your choice!
THEY DO NOT SELL WEED…
i think many people are missing that
But they are giving it away. How long will the line be on that block? When will the first shoot out be? That is a bad part of Portland. I grew up there, I know.
I hope it goes well, and we legalize it already. I’m just worried about how it’s going to go down. I’ll think good thoughts and hope this is a reflection on what is to come.
Good luck all you cafes who are starting this risky business.
because it applies to tobacco….not weed being used by licensed cardholders…trip on that one for a sec though bud myself
So, how does this not break the Oregon employment law that prohibits indoor smoking? Are they being given special treatment?
It’s too bad that the lady who is opening this shop has an ex-cop for a husband. My question is: Did she get the money to open the shop from her husbands income? If so, then I guess they are paying for their shop with the money made from puting pot smokers in jail. DO NOT PATRON THIS PLACE!
You can’t boycott this place simply because the owners husband is an ex-cop. Even if a cop does put you in jail for a stupid and pointless non-violent MJ offense you can’t get mad at them personally, they are simply enforcing the rules they have to follow in order to keep their job. That’s like getting mad at a gas station clerk cause you’re sixteen and they won’t sell you cigarettes in front of their boss. I say please patron this place!
People forget that cops do noble things, I don’t really like cops myself, but we’re better off with cops instead of heroine dealers and gangsters making the rules.

This isn’t a bad part of Portland. I live right down the street. I’m glad to see the empty storefronts filling up and a new reason to come up to NE and visit! I couldn’t be happier having a compassionate-care, progressive business start up right in my neighborhood. Don’t knock it till you come visit!
I think this is a step forward in the right direction, finally.
Originally from PDX, and now living in the Nations Capital, I truly believe that the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program is one of the best around.
I am an HIV positive person and use it to increase my eating habits, as nothing else seems to work.
Kudo’s to you PDX, and I hope this works out well for you.
As for the Picture, I think it looks like wet leaves.
It would have been nice if they used something such as a desert, or salad dressing picture next to salad.
Im also a baker and a cook.
I moved out of Portland back to the East Coast 2 weeks ago, and just in time. I’d rather live in the murder capital of America than with a bunch of drugged-out hippies who don’t know that the 60’s are over. No wonder Oregon is broke, everyone’s too stoned to figure out how to build businesses.
?? are you mentally retarded ??
that’s about the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. I know several young pot-smoking entrepreneurs creating jobs and building businesses in PDX-and I’m one of them. Have fun fighting off murderers while we smoke up and live creatively!
Lucky p-town
the photo looks like rotten broccoli.
thats what im sayin! straight garbage!
its interesting how many people reply without educating themselves..truly sad that so many people are ignorant…most of this is scientific,or a legal fact and easily verified so…. step it up
yes the the photo sucks anyone who knows knows that as well as where the good weeds grown.. n. cal sadly quality gone down on the production due to greed, ignorance and naivety, oregon’s coming up, more so in 541,in fact things are kinda blown up and flooded with too much good… oh to have such problems…bummer
