Went for the first time and was "high"ly impressed. From the aesthetic of the building to the very helpful and very cool staff. They offer a large variety of cannabis products as well as merchandise to consume products. I'll definitely go back

Hands down the best dispensary experience I’ve ever had! The vibe was chill, the selection was amazing, and the staff really knew their stuff. Huge shoutout to Trippy!! He went above and beyond to help me find exactly what I was looking for. Super friendly, patient, and full of great recommendations. You can tell they genuinely care about the customers and want everyone to have a good experience

Best dispensary in the area and needed! Awesome staff! Butch walked me to my car with an umbrella b/c it was pouring. Everyone is super professional and educated on the products. This is the farthest one from me, but will be my go to b/c it’s the nicest one we have in Scioto Co thus far. Looking forward to them getting the IncrEdibles brand. Awesome selection of CERTIFIED-brand, my other fave. I’m impressed w/the owner, the GM (Butch) and all the staff. Keep up the same enthusiasm as you have during this grand opening period and you’ll smash the competition.
