The first thing you notice about Corvallisamp;rsquo; first Medical Marijuana dispensary is that it doesnamp;rsquo;t look like a drug den. In fact, it looks like a cross between a doctoramp;rsquo;s office and a high end womenamp;rsquo;s boutique. Thatamp;rsquo;s intentional, says Kayla Dunham, co-owner of The Agrestic Green Collective. amp;ldquo;We were just trying to transcend the stereotypes,amp;rdquo; she said. amp;ldquo;We wanted it to be an elegant kind of place, a place people wouldnamp;rsquo;t ever be embarrassed to come into.quot; No consumption is allowed on the premises, and there are numerous security measures, including motion detectors, surveillance cameras and a separate room with safes for locking up marijuana when the business is closed. Patients who come in to purchase cannabis, or caregivers who want to buy for their patients, first must check in with the receptionist, presenting their OMMP (Oregon Medical Marijuana Program) cards and photo identification. The cards are scanned into the dispensaryamp;rsquo;s computer system and stored in an encrypted database for record keeping purposes.
