Marijuana shops seek holiday surge with 'Green Friday'

Bloomberg reports one shop expects a line out the door when it opens at 8 a.m. with specials similar to standard retail stores, such as, 16 customers will get an ounce of weed for $50 that generally sells for five times that amount. Sixty joints will go for $1 each. The price for a $30 vape-pen cartridge will be cut in half.
