Dave is jovial and professional and more buttoned-down than your standard flowerista. "We don't open until 2, but would you like your order now?" Sure, I reply, if it's not too much trouble. A few minutes later, an email arrives from Dave Fuegy. I placed my first order with Rip City Delivery at 11 am on a Thursday. Rip City Delivery Deliveries in Southwest, to the 97201, 97205, 9721 ZIP codes. In the meantime, there's a new discount every day, so try to visit on a Monday for select $4 grams or Tuesday for select $2 pre-rolls. The shop carries only 15 strains right now, priced from $8 to $24 a gram, with more coming soon. It also has a neighborhood feel, is owned by the same person as Toast cafe next door, and showcases wood carvings by a local artist, who also crafted wood stands for vape pens that sell for just $10. The pot shop, full of warm woods, white space and crystals from the owner's extensive rock collection, regards playfulness and creativity as integral parts of getting high, which all at once makes it one of the goofier but smarter dispensaries. For $9, you can pick up a 24-pack of colored pencils and a psychedelic adult coloring book, which are kept in glass cases right alongside the top-shelf strains. Oregon Valley Cannabis caters to the stoner kid in all of us, finally giving customers what they really need: coloring books. Oregon Valley Cannabis 5230 SE 52nd Ave., 50,. It also has a case full of glass stocked by Mary Jane's, so you can purchase a pipe without venturing too far out of this magical little bubble. Roseway is a very nice neighborhood dispensary-still a little sparse, but with a balanced selection that ranges from Grön chocolate to $5 pre-rolls and a jar of really nice Jack Herer. There's also a late-night doughnut shop, a century-old pharmacy with a soda fountain, and a second-run movie theater. Across the street is a divey pirate-themed strip club shaped like a jug of grog. In the parking lot, there are two food carts, including one with big ol' tortas and two-ply tacos. The brand-new Roseway Organics lies in an idyllic setting, out on the elbow of Northeast Sandy, near where the most interesting street in the city bends back south. Roseway Organics 7420 NE Sandy Blvd., 50, /pg/Rosewayorganics. ![]() ![]() You'll need the extra time to browse: There's a strong selection of about 25 strains, daily pre-roll deals of $5 to $8 and a case full of goodies like CBD teas and THC-infused soaking salts and gummies. The center of the room even has glass counters with petri dishes of nugs with a magnifying glass you can use to examine them. Trees gives you a sense of autonomy, a place where the budtenders will hold your hand only if you'd like them to. No longer will you wait while the receptionist types the entire contents of your ID into a computer system or sit awkwardly on that velvet couch wondering how many pieces of candy you can take. As a result, Trees feels more like a neighborhood bodega than a heavily regulated, sterilized place to buy a schedule I drug. ![]() ![]() In addition to being almost entirely women-run, it's one of the few shops constructed after an April law that eliminated the rule requiring a waiting room.
