Left Coast Connection

10055 NE Glisan St., 971-407-3049, leftcoastconnection.com. 10 am-11 pm daily.

Think of Left Coast as the Costco of Cannabis. The shop specializes in outdoor-grown cannabis, and there's no better place in Portland to legally buy flower in bulk. Left Coast offers value eighths averaging $25 and is well-known as the shop where medical customers can get $79 ounces. The shop plans to offer similar deals to recreational customers once the quarter-ounce limit is lifted. With six high-CBD strains on the value menu—including one with a 12-to-1 ratio of CBD to THC—this is where you go to stock up for long trips or when you're in the mood to infuse but don't want to get too stoned.

He currently writes for WW, Potlander, and Thrillist.

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