Avoid. False advertising. They had their typical 40% off sign prominently placed outside. I hadn’t been in the desert in a couple years and decided to stop in and pick up some product at a fair price. Chose some edibles and a pre-roll and thought about some flower, but when I got to the register, the attendant said do you have your Instagram confirmation? I said let me get my phone. Then he said well it had to be done before Halloween. I said what? I’m here now and your 40% off sign is outside. I basically paid double on a fake discount sale Deceptive, trickery and very unbecoming. I won’t be visiting the syndicate ever again

Went to store in DHS yesterday, bc I saw online you advertise "40% and out the door prices" when I got there the claybourn 5 pk online you advertise out the door will be $23 w discount. It was not. In store it's $45 l asked budtender is this $45 out TD he said yes but you get 40% off this. I went back to get my receipt today bc I felt like I overpaid. After a confusing explanation that Weedmaps prices are wrong and the 40% discount is applied before taxes etc etc. I went in expecting to pay $23 out the door bc that's what you advertise. I paid $34. This was my second time in this store and both times were a bad experience. I won't be back due to your false advertising & failure to honor your advertisement. I don't recommend others to go here expecting to pay what you advertise to get them in the door. Then you charge not out the door prices after being told online & by bud tender you do. Feels shady
