This week’s marijuana forecast: Expect scattered openings with occasional shortages coupled with large crowds.

Two of Vancouver’s marijuana retail stores have passed their final inspections and hope to open this week. But the exact time for the first store opening won’t be confirmed until the state system clicks into place.

Main Street Marijuana, 2314 Main St., expects to be the city’s first store to open its doors. It’s aiming for 11 a.m. Wednesday, said Ramsey Hamide, a manager.

“We’ve secured product, but we kind of want to wait an extra day to get things sorted out,” Hamide said after the company decided to push the date back from Tuesday. “Mayor Tim Leavitt will cut our ribbon at 11 a.m. on July 9, and after that we’ll let whoever is around in.”

The Washington State Liquor Control Board plans to issue the first batch of 20 or so retail licenses across the state today by email, after which stores will get a physical license in the mail, said Brian Smith, a spokesman for the agency.
