E=Pay 52 ZeeNs 26 ZeeNs 13 ZeeNs E= Pay 0 PORTLAND — Excited shoppers looking to score some of the ¿rst recreational marijuana sold legally in Oregon bought up baggies of bud early Thursday, taking advantage of door-buster prices and other deals. Some of the more than 250 dispensaries that already offer medical marijuana in the state welcomed recreational users soon after midnight — just moments after it became legal to sell to anyone who is at least 21. At Shango Premium Cannabis in Portland, co-founder Shane McKee said the ¿rst sale came about a minute after midnight and many others quickly followed. “I think it’s not only historical for folks in Oregon, but nationwide — anytime people start selling that as an alternative to alcohol or tobacco,” he said in a tele- phone interview. Brad Zusman, co-owner of Canna Daddy’s in Portland, said more than 90 customers bought pot in the ¿rst two hours after the store opened at 7 a.m. He said customers told him they’ve “been waiting Lo 50 80 65 45 45 50 47 57 59 58 64 W s pc s pc t pc s t s s pc Hi 77 90 84 61 74 59 69 72 74 82 76 Sat.

There were no reports of arrests or other problems involving the early sales in the state. Most stores planned to open later in the day. Oregon is one of four states that have legalized the sale of recreational marijuana. Business began in Oregon with far more dispensaries than did Colorado or Wash- ington state, where pot shops have been up and running for more than a year. Alaska could begin retail sales next year. Foster Buds PDX in Port- land had a couple hundred customers since opening just after midnight, shop manager Ken Martin said. “It’s just been a steady Àow,” he said, adding that employees repeatedly re¿lled jars with pot to meet the demand. Two customers who came in had just turned 21, he said. Davia Fleming of Portland, the ¿rst buyer at McKee’s store, said the atmo- sphere was upbeat for the launch of the new industry. “It’s the end of a prohi- bition,” said Fleming, who uses the drug for medicinal W s c pc pc pc c pc pc pc c pc c c pc s pc pc pc pc c pc pc c c c c pc UV INDEX TODAY Copyright © 2015, EO Media Group Associated Press Lo 50 36 37 55 37 37 48 41 48 43 42 38 36 49 51 50 46 49 45 55 34 52 46 37 51 52 50 Today Didn’t receive your paper? &all 1--522-255 EeIore 5 S.m.7Xesday tKroXJK )riday or EeIore 1 a.m. SatXrday for same-day redelivery 211 S.E.

The store offered its ¿rst 25 customers 35 to 40 percent discounts and was handing out soda, coffee, juice and other refreshments, McKee said. Many stores in Oregon were trying to lure customers with extended hours, food giveaways and discounted marijuana. Shoppers have one more incentive to buy early and often: Under Oregon law, pot purchases will be tax-free until January — a savings of up to 20 percent. Store owners say they are hopeful they can avoid the shortages and price spikes that followed the start of legal sales last year in Washington and Colorado. Alaska could begin retail sales next year. One store offered a goody bag with T-shirts, but no free marijuana. Another will have a live band and 10 percent discounts. Several stores have erected billboards in Portland. A shop in Merlin is advertising on the radio. “I’m just trying to basi- cally stock up for maybe four or ¿ve times what the normal volume would be,” said Chris Byers, owner of River City Dispensary in Merlin. NORTHWEST BRIEFLY Ex-police volunteer who stole guns sentenced to prison Bakery refuser to pay damages in gay wedding cake case GRANTS PASS (AP) — A former southern Oregon police volunteer who stole dozens of guns from police evidence rooms has been sentenced to a year and a half in prison. The Daily Courier reports 74-year-old Lee Darrow lost his bid for probation and was sentenced Tuesday. He pleaded guilty in September to theft and tampering charges. Darrow had previously served as an evidence volunteer with the Grants Pass Department of Public Safety when a routine internal audit in 2014 found that several guns were missing. The Oregon State Police determined that 43 guns had gone missing from evidence. Authorities later located several of the guns in Darrow’s home. Other guns had been given to his family members. Darrow has been ordered to pay nearly $2,700 in restitution to the city of Grants Pass. PORTLAND (AP) — The owners of a Portland-area bakery are refusing to pay $135,000 in state-ordered damages to a same-sex couple who were refused service. Melissa and Aaron Klein, owners of Sweet Cakes by Melissa, cited religious beliefs when they refused to bake a wedding cake for Laurel and Rachel Bowman-Cryer more than two years ago. Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian awarded the damages in July for emotional suffering, saying the owners had violated the women’s rights by discriminating on the basis of their sexual orientation. The Kleins have ¿led an appeal of the ruling and are defying the order to pay. They’re claiming ¿nancial hardship although crowdfunding efforts have brought in over $500,000 on their behalf. The Oregonian reports state of¿cials have asked to place a lien on the Kleins’ property or other assets. Shown are noon positions of weather systems and precipitation.
