    Ok, regarding this ^^^ some basic questions for when I'm out there for the Duck-Husk game.

    Can I simply walk into a weed store and buy whatever I want? No "prescription" card or special license or anything like that needed?

    Are these weed stores everywhere?

    If I acquire some weed in joint form....can I just smoke it outside, wherever?

    Yes, you can walk into any store and buy whatever you want. We bought a preroll, a gram of 2 different strains and chocolates.

    Got some papers too.

    It is illegal to smoke outdoors, I believe. We still walked around downtown portland at night and hit a joint.

    Thanks. Looks like I'll be limiting myself to edibles then, considering I don't know how to effectively roll my own joint.

    If it's illegal to smoke outdoors then where do people smoke? I mean we'll only be in public places and in hotel rooms which I'm sure are smoke free.

    Yeah, has that problem too of where to smoke....

    Most people who live here just at their house. We smoked in the beach but no one was around.

    I'm not sure the enforcement levels of people smoking outside.

    there is a gray area with handling electronic payments. some places do it, some don't, so bring cash.

    Bought some edibles last month, never been in a dispensary before. Got some Watermelon Gummies and some caramel. Paid cash, dude looked at my Drivers License and that was about it. They were very helpful in explaining the limits on edibles and suggested several things to try

    don't buy one of the infused sodas. they're overpriced, taste like ass, and don't get you high.

    Yes, you can go in and buy whatever you want. Just need to show your ID. Cannot have more than an ounce on you at a time.

    Eugene has the highest per capita weed stores in the State, they are everywhere.

    Against the law to smoke in public. Think of it like an open container of alcohol, discretion is key and dont be obvious. If you're in a large park or wilderness by all means toke it up.

    If you are looking to take some back home with you I would recommend getting a Vape pen. Its discreet, perfect for outdoors, can travel easily and has about 300 hits per 1 gram. The whole unit will run you about $50 plus tax.

    Good because I don't know shit about it. If they tell me that I need to eat 10 edibles to get high then I'll be eating 10. Hopefully I don't get a dude who just wants to fuck with me.

    you can't buy that many in one place anyway. if you don't smoke much one or two of the 15mg (i think?) candies should do nicely.

    Yep they are at nearly every store. If you have never used oil before, start with a sativa that is around 60-70% THC.

    PRO TIP: when not using the pen for prolonged periods of time, unscrew the cartridge from the battery. If kept on the battery the oil can leak out and ruin both the battery and the oil cartridge.

    I smoke about every weekend and maybe once during the week.

    20mgs gets me super stoned.
    10 for me us a pretty solid high and I can still be active.

    I'm like 215. I dont know if I have a shit tolerance or what, but taking 2 15mgs candies would fuck my world up.

    when the weather is nice I like to grab a drink at Departure with customers. Cool vibe, nice view - hit and miss with the scenery of the female variety there but sometimes good.

    I've tried just about every variety and battery I can find.

    If you can find the Golden Bliss cartridges and the Golden Bliss battery, you will sing my praises later.

    Just had some fire Korean bbq tacos from what seems like a permanent food truck/food vendors in a parking lot.

    Gonna get stoned soon and ride the hotel bikes around the city.

    Tomorrow I'll forget a pine street biscuit.

    Me and a buddy are flying to Portland midday Friday Sept. 8, would like to grab lunch and a couple beers at a cool place in the city for a couple hours, and then we are driving down to Corvallis that evening. We'll be in Corvallis Friday night and all day Saturday, attending the Goph/Beav game Saturday night, going out in Corvallis after the game, then back to Portland midday Sunday and would like to do a brunch/lunch before flying out.

    Any suggestions for Portland and Corvallis things (restaurants, bars, etc.) that would be good for this itinerary? We are early 30s and both married so we don't need pickup bars, but good scenery is always appreciated.

    Also, what's the pregame scene like in Corvallis? Tailgating vs. bars? Apparently the official Minnesota pregame event is at McMenamins.

    Thx in advance.

    Block 15 Taproom south of town is one of the best places to sit on the porch and drink beers/eat. (Not the downtown pub)

    Squirrels is the best local dominated downtown burger/beer bar with an outdoor area. Downside is its always crawling with people smoking.

    Baguette is amazing banh mis.

    Tian Fu Noodle is great authentic chinese food.

    McMenamins really isn't that bad to sit outside, have a few beers, eat some cajun tater tots.

    Most the American food downtown is going to be garbage college town food.

    Was in Portland for a week in July. Great town, get sativa, don't fuck with the blends. 20 mg had my wife and I standing and talking in the elevator when the door opened we hadn't moved anywhere because neither of us pushed lobby.

    Get lunch at food truck and bar hop for happy hour.

    You can walk the whole downtown easily.

    Would go back for sure.

    When you say smoking at Squirrels, do you mean cigs on the patio? If so, that's not a problem. Obviously weed would never be a problem, but yeah it would be strange if they allow smoking cigs inside.
