Anchorage’s first pot shop gives free samples

Anchorage’s first recreational marijuana shop is giving away free samples before starting operations under an official license.

KTUU-TV reports marijuana retailers will be stocking shelves in the next weeks with the first batches of marijuana that have been inspected for consumer safety.

Arctic Herbery owner Bryant Thorp says customers get kind of excited when they’re handed free pot.

He said the city’s inaugural marijuana store has been under construction inside and outside since gaining approval.
