At 12 a.m. on Thursday, it became legal for medical dispensaries across Oregon to sell marijuana, seeds and immature plants to anyone over the age of 21. Excited customers lined up outside dispensaries in Portland, waiting for the clock to strike midnight, the Huffington Post reports. 
One of them was Davia Fleming, 29, the first in line outside Shango dispensary and therefore one of the state's first legal cannabis customers. For her, legalization means more than her ability to smoke without fear of prosecution. Cannabis keeps her stable, she said.
"What a great night! It's legal!" she said. "I have ADHD so it makes thinking processes a little chaotic, and I discovered that marijuana kind of helps organize me and my creative functions."
It should be noted that there's been very little research into marijuana's effects on those with mental or behavioral health problems, but as a study released in the February 2015 issue of the Journal of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics notes, there is growing interest in exploring the topic.
Not everyone showed up hoping for medical benefits, though. For others, many of whom admitted that they already had weed at home, waiting in line meant being a part of history.

"For me, tonight means I'm no longer a criminal -- it means I can do what I want, as an adult, in my own home, and not be concerned," said Portland native John Finley, 22. "Before, I had to go through potentially dangerous, weird people in motels, for instance. Or just people I didn't want to deal with or don't trust. It was legal, but I didn't have any options. ... Tonight I wanted to come here as a show of support as someone who uses recreationally."
For now, customers in Oregon can buy up to seven grams of marijuana, an unlimited number of seeds, and up to four immature plants from a finite list of dispensaries that are registered with the state to sell. Shops can't yet sell edibles, cannabis liquid or other products to the general public.
