'Smoke Buddy' mobile marijuana cart illegal, Oregon officials say

[ghostsinthemachine]

A mobile cart selling marijuana in Portland is illegal, the Oregon Health Authority said Monday



The Smoke Buddy cart has been seen in North Portland. Jonathan Modie, a spokesman for the health authority, which oversees the state's dispensary system, said mobile marijuana operations and delivery services are illegal under Oregon's rules.

"Any transfer of marijuana to or from a dispensary must take place at the registered address of the dispensary," the state notes on its dispensary website.

1. seems legit.

Anyway, I read that there are more MMJ dispensaries in Oregon than Starbucks, so I suspect access will survive.

The guy deserves credit for a bright idea.....one which perhaps only a stoned mind could appreciate, but still.........

6. an idea whose time has nearly (but not quite) come

properly licensed for public distribution, a "pot cart" could do really well, and possibly enhance sales at the nearby food carts which seem to be all the rage lately.

maybe next year.

or maybe look for a single-tone rendition of a Bob Marley song?
