| Ganja Jon ready to budtend at the new Cannabis Café From New Cannabis Café |
Saturday, July 31, 2010 at 4:20pm, the World Famous Oregon NORML Cannabis Café reopens at 323 SE 82nd Ave in Portland, Oregon.
We’re so thrilled to be back after a three-month hiatus trying to find a building that was suitable in size and comfort to house the popular café. We had looked at numerous buildings, including a marina, before we found this location. Personally, I’m thrilled that the new café is just a six-block walk away from RollaJay Studios.
The location was completely remodeled to be a wine and piano bar. The interior is decked out in beautiful light wood panel. The floor has both tiled and carpeted areas. The place comes with this gorgeous wicker furniture, barstools and chairs, tables and couches, and comfy little faux fireplaces for those winter months.

For entertainment, the place comes with a Karaoke setup and 50″ big screen TV (no, the piano in the photo is not staying). There’s a back area outfitted with a shuffleboard table, a tournament air hockey table, a pocket (not coin operated) billiards table, and a sit-down two person table arcade machine with 30 or more of the greatest video games from the 1980′s (Frogger! Millipede! Ms. Pac-Man! Missile Command! Defender!)
There is an immaculate bar and kitchen area, with a great little alcove for a 270-degree vapor bar area and a walk-up hash bar area.
You can join us on NORML SHOW LIVE for the Grand Re-Opening. We’re also looking into hosting our Friday live shows there with a permanent remote studio to save us setup time (besides, it’s just six blocks away!)
Our entrance is where that “FOR RENT” sign is. The below-ground café is as large as this entire strip mall.

Above the café is a little strip mall with a Mexican bakery (mmm, pastries!), a deli/lotto store (here in Oregon, we have video poker lottery, so some little places open up that are essentially just mini video casinos, but by law they have to serve food, because these gambling devices have to be just a part of a restaurant or bar), salon, and right next door is a tobacco and smoke shop. There’s even a McDonald’s across the street and some great coffeeshops and restaurants a short walking distance away on Stark St.

“I must be in ‘HEAVEN’ man !” The great quote from a clown–fruits & nuts of the cannabis/hemp movement. That place sounds like beautiful thing,and we wish we could join the family for NORMLfest in gorgeous Portland. THC Ministry asia agrees with 97% of NORML position and concur your actions have consistently worked daily for freedom. We love everyone at NORML et. al..We can handle the charge of greed,or fraud. We don’t need to get a fair hearing of our views…normally you state our views,or those of beautiful Roger Christie . The ministry is comfort and implies medical,each pastor and ministry is different. Spirit is subjective truth,so for Ayn Rand it was “objectivism” or her credo. Democracy is revolution of personal spiritual belief…most basic human rights !
Joint as in cafe
Congrats!! Very nice joint there!
It’s articles like this…as well as just the pains associated with getting older…that really make me miss Oregon.
