Bud tender was on a power trip I was called aggressive for waiting to pick my purchases off the wall directly in front of me instead of ordering off the written menu. Thankfully employee turnover is high never seen the same bud tender each time I go about once a month

Visted this establishment to buy my cousin that has cancer edibles on recommendations from her chemo doctor. I'm not experienced in the area as I don't use myself, the budtista was super kind and helpful.

Very friendly staff. Easy to order cause their multiple lists of all info needed. They have lots of free stickers. You can get few clothing items with their logos. My fiance has gotten few tees; even a special limited edition 1 from festival, next were getting a hat. Repeat Customer.
Smoking indoors? The right air purifier eliminates smoke and odor in minutes.
