SEASIDE — Bloodwreck, Cherry Slider and Fortune Cookie. No, those aren’t WWE superstars — rather strains of cannabis available at Seaside’s newest medical marijuana dispensary, Cannabis Nation.

The Seaside location is the second for co-owner Tyler Walker, 30, who operates a Cannabis Nation in Beaverton and hopes to open a third location in Gresham. Walker lives in Happy Valley.

Two years ago, Walker, with his brother, father and an old family friend “sold everything we had in Arizona and moved up here.”

Today they serve about 52 patients and 11 growers at their 13,000-square-foot indoor facility. “We try to supply ourselves with about 75 percent of the product right here on the shelves,” Walker said.

The partners looked at other sites on the Oregon Coast, including Depoe Bay, but chose Seaside, initially considering a downtown space before leasing 555 S. Roosevelt Drive.

Walker filed a city application, completed a sheriff’s review, and background checks, followed by meetings with the city planner “to make sure we have enough parking, signage, we conform to their rules,” he said. The fire department then signed off on fire code. They received their business license June 10.

On Oct. 1, Oregon’s medical dispensaries will be permitted to sell recreational cannabis.

Walker recognizes the obstacles of the marijuana business. “We’re trying to take everybody’s perception and completely throw it out the window,” he said. “A lot of people think, ‘Oh it’s a dark alley, it’s just scumbags and then people come in and they say, ‘Wow, I had no idea it was so nice.’ I always say if you can give me 10 minutes in a room with someone who doesn’t believe in it, I’ll change their mind.

“It’s all tracked 100 percent,” he added. “ All my employees are paid with a payroll company. We’re providing legitimate jobs, a legitimate service. If you don’t smoke or you don’t medicate with any kind of cannabis, coming in here doesn’t make sense. But if you don’t drink, going into a liquor store doesn’t make sense either.”
