A former Alaska broadcast news reporter who famously quit her job in an on-air stunt aimed at boosting a campaign to legalize pot in Alaska said on Friday she aims to open a bricks-and-mortar cannabis club in Anchorage before turning it into a seed-to-sale business.

Voters in Alaska and Oregon on Tuesday opted to legalize recreational marijuana use in ballot measures that will ultimately usher in regulated pot retail stores similar to those already operating in Washington state and Colorado.

Charlo Greene is already the owner of the Alaska Cannabis Club, a network of users that share medical pot they grow at home under existing law.
