When in Sierra Vista, do as the Sierra Vistans
Business brings me to Sierra Vista on occasion. For that reason I decided to visit and get myself registered with this dispensary. If you’re from SV then you already know this place. For those from out of the area, Sierra Vista is in Cochise County, in Southeastern Arizona. Population is about 40k.
This is how my first attempt at registering went a couple months back. After a full work day I drove across town and arrived at the dispensary 20 minutes before closing. Google maps put me at the parking lot next door. The dispensary door is located on the side on the building, not facing street. Access was good otherwise, lots of parking. As I entered a patient had just filled a prescription. First waiting are, and I guess the area for guests, was small with a fews chairs. Went up to the window, dropped my credentials throughout the safety slot. Without a chance to speak, the attendant buzzed me in immediately to the next room. This was much larger waiting space for clients. Clean, lounge, with resource reading materials. After a few minutes I was lead to the next room, a small “flower” counter. At this point I told the budtender I was new, first time. At which point that mood saddened. The told me there was no time to register me, and asked if I could return tomorrow. Past registration forms I’ve filled took just a couple minutes, so I assumed there was a lot of work to do on their end.
Latest visit went down a bit more successfully. Arrived just after noon. Same process, credentials at the window, I was asked if this was my first visit. Registered and proceeded through to the flower counter. Oddly, the counter has not flower visible. On the counter sat a lit of available strains. A short menu. I inquired about specials. I was informed of the “Toobie” special, two plastic tube containers filled with two grams of shredded flower. Having accomplished the registration I decided to take the special and leave the buds for another day. I prefer to take my time at the flower counter and today there was a long drive ahead of me. The staff on this visit was way more courteous and attentive - than those sassy kids in the evening shift of my first visit. If you happen to be in the Sierra Vista area you should pay these folks a visit. They take care of their patients in SV and that’s a great thing. Besides, Cochise County is just a beautiful place!
