Sometimes I think I should set up a camera inside my store just to record all the weird and funny things that happen over the course of a day.
- There is never a dull moment here, I can tell you that much.
Of course it was explained to me by the corporate offices that doing such a thing would violate any number of laws, and get me fired immediately. Instead I write down my experiences, and one day might turn it into a book. I think people would enjoy hearing about life in a Portland cannabis dispensary. There is a reason that my cannabis shop has so many eccentric and crazy customers – Portland is like a magnet for outcasts and weirdos. I don’t mean that in a bad way! The whole reason I moved to Portland is because of its reputation for being tolerant and diverse. The people of Portland tend to be unusual, or even strange, and they like to be left alone. This describes me to a T. My customer base at the cannabis shop includes professionals, retirees, hippies, college kids, and bums. I am always polite but never ask too many questions, because as I mentioned people in Portland like to be left alone. For example, one of my customers is an old woman named Helen who has lived in Portland for seventy five years. Helen comes into my store every Sunday after church and buys three ounces of cannabis. How an old woman can smoke so much premium cannabis every week is something I cannot comprehend.
