Recreational Marijuana sales in Oregon

The month of October was to be filled with Halloween and Christmas irritations. Oregon recreational marijuana sales began October 1st 2015. Quickly over shadowed by a tragic school shooting at Umpqua College in Roseberg Oregon.

How has sales progressed for the local stores. Many more hoops to jump through. As some stores were ready and some were not. People here were not rushing off to the local stores to buy those high priced ounces.

When speaking with a local police officer who would only speak to me if his name was omitted, he stated,

"It seems quiet around here. I haven't seen tons of cars stopping at this shop yet." He was just outside of Waldport Oregon sitting down the street at a small shop there.

Noticing a larger police force recently as if the police are playing dominoes. Come to the coast then go inland.  Another thing asked of this officer was.

Are there more DUI's now? writer asked

I don't know the over all stats but the last DUI road block we didn't get any more people. Police officer states.

Since marijuana is illegal federally many folks are staying to the black market. Afraid to enter stores with so many cameras. These pot stores make a mall look like a joke with security. 

Sales will most likely have to be reviewed in a couple months to see how Oregon is really progressing with it's share of the pot profits for recreational marijuana.
