I highly recommend High Frequency!! I’ve been to a good amount of dispensaries around the area and this is the best one! They give you amazing customer service and actually talk to you like you matter, not just a customer. Almost like a long lost friend. It’s not cramped AND you get the opportunity to smell the product you want to buy as well as look at it with even a magnify glass!! It’s not hard to find and it’s very conveniently located. When I went there, Ashley helped me. She was so helpful! Let alone their product?! Woah! I highly highly recommend and wish there was an option to give it more than 5 stars!!
