Tomorrow legal recreational pot goes on sale in Washington.
Tomorrow is the big unveil for new pot industry in Washington State after a 20 month wait since the law passed.
Washington State's First Legal Marijuana Shops Set to Open Amid Chaos
The prohibition of marijuana in Washington state fell early Monday as a small number of retail shop owners received an electronic copy of a license to sell just-for-fun cannabis.
Those 2 a.m. local time (5 a.m. ET) emails bang-started a scramble for the actual pot, now waiting in the warehouses of an equally small number of separately licensed growers. Exactly 24 hours after product orders are placed, per a mandatory waiting period, the owners will be allowed to open for business, launching a new experiment in the legal sale of a very old plant.
The cash registers are ready. The display cases are clean. But less than a day before the likely first retail sale of marijuana in Washington, no one knows for certain which stores will be open, or which growers will provide the chlorophyll of the hour.
Its going to come down to the wire, says Sean Green, the founder of Kouchlock Productions, which got the states first official growing license back in March. Now there are about 80 licensed growers, and some 20 retail shops who expect a license this week.
Green said at least three retail shops will open Tuesday: Cannabis City Seattle, Top Shelf Cannabis in Bellingham and The Freedom Market" in Kelso.

To add to the confusion of the big unveil they're expecting a huge shortage of product in the beginning, but overtime the situation should balance out.
I just wanted to wish them luck and give Washington a hat tip. Best wishes for a successful first day with their newly legal pot!
