Cannadaddy's Wellness Center

By Tyler Hurst

16955 SE Division St., 971-279-4932, canna-daddys.com. Cash only, ATM onsite.

Housed in a fenced-in building that's only a barb-wire chainlink fence topper from being a detention center, this desolate exterior opens into a warm, bright, wood-paneled experience that channels a ski or fishing shop. Clear branding, compliant labels, enthusiastic employees who spent five minutes each discussing strains for us to try based on symptoms or moods—this feels like what a larger chain of midrange cannabis shops should look like. It has plenty of pipes and small bubbles, with product from TJ's Flower and Hug Farms, as well as shake bags for saving money on grab-and-go stuff. When your parents are finally ready, this is where to take them.

Willamette Week’s reporting has concrete impacts that change laws, force action from civic leaders, and drive compromised politicians from public office.
