The employee was great but their product is not as advertised. I got 3 different pre rolls and all 3 didn't get me high and tasted like almost straight mold/mildew. DO NOT BUY THE PRE-ROLLS. Quality control is not there. At least for the pre-rolls. The flower looked and smelt pretty decent. Will give that a shot next time
