Loser Oregon potheads buy more pot in Oregon debut than Colorado and Washington

You smell the stink everywhere here now.

Oregon pot stores sell more than $11 million in first 5 days

SALEM, Ore. (AP) -- Retailers sold more than $11 million of marijuana during Oregon's first week of legal recreational sales, outpacing the early business done in other states that have legalized pot, according to the Oregon Retailers of Cannabis Association.

Oregon retailers had sales of $3.5 million by the end of opening day, Casey Houlihan, executive director of the association, told the Statesman Journal (Estimate: Initial pot sales strong ). By contrast, Colorado's first week of sales reached $5 million. In Washington, sales during the first month hit $2 million.

Under the state law approved by Oregon voters last year, possession of marijuana in limited quantities has been permitted since July 1.

But there was no legal way to buy it until Oct. 1. Pot shops that already sell medical marijuana made big plans for the historic day, with some opening just after midnight.

One reason Oregon posted stronger early sales was the existing medical marijuana infrastructure. More than 250 medical marijuana dispensaries in Oregon have told the state they will sell to recreational customers. By contrast, Colorado had 24 stores on Day 1. Washington had just four, and a year later, still has fewer than Oregon.

Oregon also has a robust supply of marijuana that's grown to support medical marijuana users and the black market. Companies have invested in massive warehouses in Portland to grow the drug indoors, and southern Oregon has some of the nation's best conditions for outdoor cultivation of marijuana.

Growers don't face strict regulations yet, so the supply can more easily flow into retail stores than it did in Washington and Colorado.

Houlihan says shops are seeing customers coming back to pot after years of not smoking it.

"They're telling me that customers lining up are in many cases 50 to 65 and haven't purchased marijuana in decades, but they're just happy to have the opportunity to do so," he said.

Woman hit in Gresham crosswalk by driver accused of smoking pot has died

A woman struck by a Toyota Prius Monday while walking in crosswalk less than a mile from her home in Gresham has died.

Elizabeth Irma Kemble, 46, of Gresham suffered serious injuries, including a broken back and broken pelvis, in the violent 8 a.m. incident at East Burnside Street and Northeast 181st Avenue. First responders originally characterized her injuries as not life-threatening.

After being hospitalized, Kemble's condition worsened. She died shortly after 7 p.m. at OHSU Hospital, the Gresham Police Department reported Tuesday morning.

Jacob WaltersMultnomah County jail

The driver of the car, Jacob McLeod Walters, 27, of Northeast Portland stayed at the scene and cooperated with police. Witnesses told police the driver was smoking marijuana seconds before the crash.

The initial police investigation confirmed Walters had been smoking pot, police said. The degree to which marijuana was a factor is still under investigation, however, they said.

Walters was arrested and charged with fourth-degree assault, reckless driving and reckless endangerment.

His Prius slammed into the pedestrian hard enough to send her flying 35 feet, they said.

Witnesses to the collision uniformly said the light was no longer green when Walters reached the west side of intersection, said Gresham police public information officer John Rasmussen. Some said the light was red, while others said it was yellow, he said.

Either way, the driver was legally on notice to either stop or proceed with caution, Rasmussen said. The Prius nonetheless continued through the intersection and struck Kemble in a marked crosswalk on the east side of the intersection, he said.

Since Colorado legalized marijuana, highway fatalities are way down

From your article:

No doubt there are myriad other reasons for the decrease in road fatalities—better cars with better safety features. The important point is that the numbers are down, and while these numbers may have nothing at all to do with the legalization of marijuana, the belief that marijuana legalization might lead to tons of terrible driving accidents, so far, is unwarranted.

Idiot.
