Idaho customers gave a new marijuana dispensary just across the Oregon-Idaho state line a booming first day in business.
When the store called Weedology opened Friday, customers from Idaho had been waiting in line for more than three hours, the Idaho Statesman reported . A large number of license plates in the parking lot were Idaho plates.
Afton Cardosa, an Idaho resident who said she uses marijuana both medically and recreationally, arrived at 7 a.m. and waited in line until the doors opened at 10 a.m. For some time, Idaho residents such as Cardosa who use marijuana have been traveling 1 ½ hours or more to the nearest Oregon dispensary. Weedology's location near the state line — and right off Interstate 84 — means now some Idaho residents will only have to travel 15 minutes or less.
"We were kind of hoping for a softer opening, to get ourselves in order. But you know what? We are so excited to see this because we can step up," he said."It's everything we wanted this to be. We are ecstatic for where we're at right now."
