***Buyer Beware***
I have never felt more compelled to review a dispensary. I sit here a day later still feeling like this place got one over on me & that is their M.O. from the start. I have read & heard good things about Chalice Farms flowers. I believe they even have a couple major award winners in house as well. They started out as producers & have evolved into operating 4 retail locations as well. To my delight they opened the location on Powell. I finally was able to make it in last night & was really looking forward to their great flower. First off, the staff were both very nice & professional. The first clue, which almost made me leave (should have!) was that they only sell a 2 gram minimum, when I asked the price of a gram. This is total BS & even they have to know this. They can use any excuse they want, but it is insulting at its best. I was really there for an eighth of their best indica until I found out they were trying to ask $60 for an eighth. Yes, $60 for an eighth. I have been to my share of the local storefronts & this is the most ridiculous pricing & pricing structure I have ever seen. Now, on to the indica itself. They have small show jars with apparently the best quarter from each strain. This is where things got even weirder here. I decided on the sharks breath, which was their headiest indica they had at 28%. The show jar sample looked dipped in sugar & smelled piney & pungent, just excellent product. I relented & grabbed "2" grams, as I told myself never again. To my total surprise they hand me a bag which a plastic container already to go. What happened to picking it out or even letting you choose a bud you like & weighing it in front of you?? Got home & I'm floored upon opening my goodies. What I have smells like hay, very pre mature & has little resin unlike the great sample I was shown. Figured oh well let's see how it smokes. I go to twist one up & out pops a bean. What!?!? I bought the top of their shelf & is smells like hay & has beans. Wtf. After the first couple of puffs, there it is, that distinct taste of chlorophyll & fresh herb. Unreal!! I just feel cheated & totally taken advantage of by this place. I have never had a worse experience at a local dispensary. And have never had such poor quality product for such an insane markup. Especially since they are the producer. Direct to market! Anyways, I digress. Chalice, if you care to reach out to gain any further details or care to make me see you in any different light, I'd be surprised. So for know, fellow Leflians, don't say you weren't warned.
