9A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2017 Pot: Local business featured on a map called ‘Kush Tourism’ Continued from Page 1A So far, the only marijuana store to close was Sweet Relief’s Port Astordam loca- tion, damaged by an explo- sion and fire in the adjacent Higher Level Concentrates, a grow site and hash oil proces- sor, in October. Hi Astoria is also temporarily closed for a renovation. “Astoria, in the grand scheme of things, has been very professional and gra- cious — somewhat friendly to the industry,” Nelson said. The city has largely wel- comed each new marijuana store popping up, except for West, a proposal by partners Daryl Bell and Terrell Buck- ner to open an joint art gal- lery-marijuana store. Bell echoed Nelson’s comments that there are fewer barri- ers to entry along the coast. “I do think there is a satura- tion issue,” Bell said, add- ing that many marijuana store owners will be in for a rude awakening during slower winters when they depend more on locals. Even with its plethora of marijuana stores, Astoria falls behind some other tourist des- tinations farther south. According to most recent figures from the Oregon Liquor Control Commission, Seaside and Tillamook each have three active recreational licenses, one for approxi- mately every 2,100 and 1,600 people. Lincoln City and Newport each have six recre- ational licenses, one for every 1,400 and 1,700 people. The number and concentration of marijuana stores drops off farther south along the Ore- gon Coast. Larger cities such as Port- land, Eugene and Bend, 154 Vacation Homes for Sale which have much higher pop- ulations and overall num- bers of marijuana stores, each average fewer than one mar- ijuana store for every 5,000 people. Tourist draw or accoutrement? Linea Gagliano, a spokes- woman for the Oregon Tour- ism Commission, said canna- bis tourism is on the agency’s radar. “We don’t really feel it’s going to be the impetus for someone’s trip,” she said. She said the commission focuses on culinary and out- doors tourism, with the under- standing that people might imbibe while visiting. North Fork 53, located along the Nehalem River on the southern edge of Clat- sop County, was one of the first marijuana-infused tour- ism businesses to open locally. The bed and break- fast focuses on farm-to-table culinary tourism and offered guests several rooms outfitted with paraphernalia in which they could consume their own cannabis. Brigham Lee, who owns the lodging with Ginger Edwards, said North Fork 53 gave the offering up in May, unable to make much money and facing both resistance from Clatsop County and dif- ficulties in creating smoking spaces that complied with the Clean Air Act. “We didn’t feel like we needed to be the mar- tyrs to show what cannabis tourism could look like.” He said cannabis tourism could be a wonderful indus- try, but would take a con- certed lobbying effort by the cannabis industry to change social consumption laws, similar to what vintners have done for wine. 210 Apartments, Unfurnished Photos by Danny Miller/The Daily Astorian Sweet Relief Dispensary budtender Grant Osborn packages up marijuana for a customer Friday. While tourists aren’t a sta- ple of Sweet Relief’s busi- ness, Nelson said, they’re the “icing on the cake.” “We advertise in a flier that goes out to all the cruise ships,” he said, estimating a 15 percent bump in sales when a cruise ship is in town. “There’s also a map called Kush Tourism that we’re” on. Nelson said he holds the trademark on Smoke the Coast and he has bought a tour bus, which he hopes will one day take “smoke-friendly” people around the area. “The tourism part is going to be huge as this market gets stabilized.” 230 Houses, Unfurnished 255 Sleeping Rooms For all our available rentals.
