NAR Monroe (REC)
7/15/2026
So, my first time ever going to ANY dispo, and everyone kept telling me to go to nar. "they hook you up if it's your first time, and you get mad discounts". No they don't, and no you don't. Sure, everything is marked down so you pay the same price everyone else pays... That 35% discount on your first order doesn't exist on any items that aren't full price. You get nothing for free... Not that I'm looking for handouts, but a first time preroll or something would be nice. They sign you up for the first time at the door. Buzz you in to a numbered spot at the counter where the lady has your first time life story on her screen and you get asked "do you know what you want"? There's nothing for you to walk around and look at... It's all behind the counter, so you just mention something that you saw on their website so you don't look like a dumbass standing there all clueless. They ring you up. You leave. All in all, I drove 2 hours for an experience that was about as thrilling as buying toilet paper at dollar general. There is nothing exciting or extraordinary about going to a dispensary for your first time ever in 2026.... And it irritates me a bit. Some of us did real serious jail time over this stuff not too long ago. Being able to walk into a store and buy something legally for the first time is SUPPOSED to be an experience worth writing home about... Or at lest a review. Instead of a review, all I can really talk about was overall, as entertaining for me as reading this review is for you. I have no reason to ever go back to nar... Or... Any other dispensary for that matter. It costs me no different than walking down the street does, and I save the fuel staying home. They get 3 stars because it was as general of an experience as buying smokes at a gas station. I wasn't even there for 10 minutes. Totally underwhelming and overhyped imo.
