    Went opening weekend, and Mariano was the biggest help! Explained where everything was located and answered any question I had about the products! Also really like the bodega style because now I can look at all my options without the pressure of someone waiting in line behind me. 10/10 recommending everyone to go!! This is my new fav dispensary and the people there only make it even better!
