The medical marijunana business is taking off under the radar in Astoria.

Inside the earth-toned, pungent confines of Sweet Relief Natural Medicine on Commercial Street, a brisk business is going quite smoothly, according to owners Gary Reynolds and Oscar Nelson.

The two opened Sweet Relief, Clatsop County’s first licensed medical marijuana dispensary, four months ago between a nail salon and a mortgage center on Commercial Street in downtown Astoria. They’ve recently been joined by the Farmacy in Uppertown, an eclectic partnership of locals and Seattlites that opened less than two weeks ago along Marine Drive.
