Today, for the first time ever, stores in Washington state can begin selling recreational pot legally. Almost two years ago, voters there approved a measure to legalize non-medical marijuana.

Finally, two dozen sellers got licenses yesterday. But only a few of them are ready to open today. And there is only one licensed retailer in the state's biggest city, Seattle. That's Cannabis City.

Here & Now's Robin Young speaks with the store's manager, Amber McGowan, who's been up since early this morning preparing for a long line at the midday opening.

Guest
