  No shortage of product but service is questionable at best. Making financial errors then requesting trades instead of correcting the error is not professional. Too many options out there to deal with this. Just because it’s a weed business does not mean a free pass.

  Products truly put a smile on my face. Lasted for hours and it cured my boredom.

  Good prices and selection well priced. Only "Problem" I've had is the giant stems in there brand pre rolls.

  The service is great, they educate you very clearly depending on your experience. More importantly they help suggest a product that will benefit you the best depending on what you a re dealing with/need it for. Clean and well stocked, w great service 10/10

  UPDATE!! ☺️🤟 John the owner called me back. He apologized emphatically for the mistake. He also wanted to make it right. He did for sure. He gave me back the full ounce of flower. I am very happy. I really didn’t expect a full refund of flower. I would alos like to say that Heather is awesome. Super knowledgeable and friendly. She handled my cranky a$$ like a pro lol, thanks girl. Appreciate you guys for this!! I am a medical cannabis patient and have been coming from rowley to this place because I have been loving their flower so very much, it was worth the extra 20 mins and paying the ungodly tax. Until I went in, purchased two half’s of what I thought was flower. I get home and open up the bag to find two half’s of pre ground. I already knew it can’t be returned or exchanged and I’m pretty upset because their salesman and I chatted specifically about FLOWER. I called the store to see if they could do anything for THEIR mistake. I’m a young widowed mother with cancer. I can’t afford this kind of mistake. So they tell me to email the owner and wait till next week…ok what now?! So then they take my number and call me back and offer me a fifteen dollar eigth…Say whuuut? Ugh, im a little insulted. I’ve spent a decent amount of money here and even brought new customers. I hate to say it but this experience has left a really bad taste in my mouth. One positive thing I can add was that the young woman on the phone (can’t remember her name) handled herself extremely professional. I was pretty mad when I called. So kudos to her.

  Great store my uncle's friend owns it so I looked up the menu since I don't drive have to wait to get a ride to go but menu looks good nice selection Hope I can try some of your pre rolls soon that's what I normally purchase when I go to dispensaries.

  Great place love it. Great prices and friendly. But a little pushy in my professional opinion the other worker could have jumped in to help.

  Fun place to visit because of the many accessories like ash trays, and earrings, but I was looking for a specific pain cream. I might order it online.
