As a top pharmacist registered in four states, Margie watched in horror as the opioid crisis ravaged her patients’ lives. The callus greed of those big corporations nearly broke her healer’s heart, but she refused to abandon her life’s calling. When Washington State legalized cannabis, Margie recognized a more natural and wholesome way to serve her community. So in 2014, this single grandmother in her sixties opened the �irst legal pot shop on the West Coast. Margie died in 2021, and the store passed to her daughter who now proudly continues the small business tradition her pioneering mother started.
