Brendan Hill, drummer for Blues Traveler, has created a unique way to sell recreational marijuana in Bainbridge Island, Wash., according to an Aug. 24, 2016, article at Forbes.com.

A little more than a year ago, Hill opened Paper & Leaf, tagged as “Bainbridge Island’s first and ONLY premier recreational cannabis boutique.”

Hill said 70 percent of Bainbridge Island residents favored recreational legalization in Washington state, but he didn’t want to be presumptuous in how he presented his business to locals.

“We knew from our research that we had a very open-minded community, but there was still this not-in-my-backyard mentality in the town,” Hill told Forbes. “We realized that if we did the store in the style of the island—it’s a very arty community—that we could win over the community.”

So Paper & Leaf is styled like an art gallery, with marijuana offerings displayed in wooden frames. With 35 strains of marijuana available, the retail offerings match the artsy, upscale vibe of the store.
