Curaleaf - Bell Rd.

I have to say that the online ordering in my experience was super smooth. After watching a Canna Cribs episode on Shango I did a Leafly search and saw some Tropical Punch at Currleaf and ordered up. There wasn’t a line when I arrived after getting my notification my order was ready. Pulled up my card (medical) and paid for my 1/8. That’s all I wanted. It took all of 15 minutes round trip from my house (9 miles away). The Leafly ordering option was fast and convenient with no waiting at the time I went. Just had to say something because back in the day it was never convenient. Quite a change. A side note: I have mostly bought bottom tier “deal” strains that I like. On occasion, mid tier. Hard core Sativa guy weary of Indica’s putting me to sleep. Like I said, I saw a YT vid on Shango. Quality grow. Jumped on Leafly. It’s very handy to be able to shop for the best price of the strain you are looking for. Leafly’s “search nearby” button is my favorite thing about the app. Anyway, I thought Tropical Punch was a Sativa Hybrid when I ordered and didn’t notice til I got home. Was bummed.. Then I tried it. Holy Cow.. I think of Afagani when I think of Indica. Shango’s Tropical Punch is nothing like a drag. Tension in my shoulder faded but I was focused, almost motivated. Calmed me yet lifted me. I like creative strains but I can go really deep and get distracted on something interesting. Others make me feel wired without calm. This strain makes me want to explore Indicas. Or to be more specific, Shango Indicas. Happy Accidents..

Simon - the greatest budtender I've ever worked with. More on that below. I know all medical patients in the valley have been hurting and no longer treated VIP attention. It's clear in their reviews. It's hard feeling like a number now. But I can assure you, there are still budtenders that care about patients. It may take a few extra minutes in line, but it's worth it. They DO have medical patient discounts daily on anything not on sale (non stackable). They DO have a separate line for medical checkout. This issue of time in line tends to be more related to only certain budtenders being able to check those out. And they DO have a rewards program that builds up dollars very quickly, making things even cheaper. Last comment, if it takes longer in the medical line, before getting feelings, remember that you would also want the treatment and patience while working with a patient that may need more time. Don't disparage other medical patients ahead of you. You would want that treatment too, even if it meant you were holding up the line for an extra 5 minutes. Last but not least, I have to bring up the greatest budtender I've had the pleasure to work with. His name is Simon and he works at the 19th ave location. His attention, really listening to me, kindness, and going the extra mile to be respectful while helping out feels amazing. Like the good ol days. He hasn't forgotten them and he hasn't forgotten some patients are more delicate. Simon, I thank you and will not forget your kindness.

I got a gram of Drip Oils + Extracts from this dispensary that was laced with some sort of drug. I would not recommend this dispensary to anyone!

You can see that many of the items are clearly marked as discounted or on sale. For a new customers you have 10 buy one get ones that you can use anytime you want just not on something that is already discounted or on sale. So I online ordered something that is not marked as being discounted or on sale and I walked out with half of the weed that I thought I would, because they wouldn't honor the buy one get one saying that it was already discounted. I didn't have time to stand and discuss it, but I have sent follow ups to Leafly and Curaleaf so we'll see how it gets dealt sorted out, but I'm hopeful, I've never had an issue until today. I took screenshots of the items that I bought to show the lack of notation and screenshots of other items that are clearly marked as discounted or on sale, and included those as well. Again, I am hopeful that they will resolve it as I have never had an issue Curaleaf at any Phoenix locations, or with using my buy one get one free.
