They found themselves in, what turned out to be, the middle of the opening time line. Landers, 45, wound up at about 40th in line. He said he did not wait in any lines Wednesday and specifically waited until Thursday, "because I figured it would not be as many people in line."
Jacob, 22, gave a similar reason why he was buying marijuana Thursday instead of Wednesday.
"We drove past one yesterday and it was a really long line, coiled up like a roller coaster line," he said.
Jacob was no less enthused about buying pot, though. Asked what he was expecting the buying experience to be like and he responded simply, "I’m going to buy weed...and then I’m probably going to smoke the weed."
Patrick, 21, said he would have waited in a long line Wednesday if he had been in town. He was expecting to pay $60-70 per gram before taxes.
"I know it’s pretty expensive at the moment with taxes and all that," he said, but he said he was more than willing to pay.
At the MedMen dispensary, recreational sales were being limited to four hours in the morning while medical marijuana sales were going on all day.
