Upon entering this dispensary today after purchasing from them a few times in the past I was told my id would not scan and to wait in line. After the manager returned he proceeded to Yell "Your ID did not scan and what we usually do is call the police for cases like this”. They refused to return my only Out of state ID after this threat meaning I could not have left the parking lot. I am a Black, US army veteran so I proceeded to show my vets ID which was promptly denied. I welcomed them to call the dispatcher and was told to wait outside of the business and that I was being "disorderly" for contesting such a bold accusation. The Cops Verified my ID is valid and current and returned it. He also promptly went back into this same dispensary to verify that my phone number was already in their registry... The manager could have simply asked for another form of id or talked to me..yet he decided to turn this into a scene and now you have a better idea of the prejudice at this dispensary. Do not support this business if you care about the equal treatment of black people. This event was acknowledged In a few follow up emails from the dispensary Owner Gary and screenshots of him asking me how to de escalate another racial situation are available. I would not go out of my way to type this if my treatment was Superb. Livwell or Solace meds is much better choice in the area.
