Arrived 9:30am on a Tuesday. 20 people on line. Store provided heaters to keep us toasty on a chilly morning. Nice touch! Doors opened at 10 and the line moved inside. Compared to some of the Colorado dispensaries I've visited, Theory was neat, bright, clean and well-lit. Budtenders all seemed engaged and enthusiastic. The line moved quickly, thanks to 8-10 registers open for service. Bought 7g of XJ-13 and 7g of Citrus Sap. Both were excellent, exceeding my expectations. Now the negatives: I can purchase the same quantity (not necessarily the same quality) on the black market for about half what I paid at Theory. That's a big deal when you're on a fixed budget. I'm hoping that as more dispensaries open and cultivators reach mass production, prices will come down a bit. Likewise, I'm hoping flower and edible selections increase as the market matures. I'll definitely come back if there is something tasty on the menu and if there is a larger variety of edibles. Kudos to Theory for doing it right after just a few months in business. They are a good model for future rec dispensaries in Mass.
