With so many out-of-towners coming into a legal state, many for the first time will be able to buy weed legally and see how legalization operates. “I think events like this overcome that stigma because we get to talk to more people and provide that education that is really needed,” says Christensen. Oregon’s Finest, for example, ordered 25 percent more and is planning on offering special packages and eclipse glasses.
Still, dispensaries are ordering more product. However, there’s little Oregon cultivators can do to grow more weed at this point (a grow cycle takes at least a couple of months). Christensen’s shop expects at least a two or three times increase in sales, thanks to the eclipse. Moon Puppies is a cross between Lemon Skunk and Chemdawg, explains Leigha Christensen, assistant manager of Oregon’s Finest, a dispensary in Portland. Pot shops in particular, are getting shipments of fun, astronomically themed products - strains like Moon Puppies, for instance - in celebration of the eclipse. In preparation for all these tourists, dispensaries and liquor stores need to stock up the demand for both cannabis and booze is already at a record high. An estimated one million visitors are headed to Oregon next month for the eclipse - whether to attend the massive festival celebrating this astronomical event, or to watch it on their own somewhere in Oregon’s gorgeous countryside. On August 21, a total solar eclipse will take place, and the best location on the planet to watch it happen is Oregon.
