Drive through barbed wire fence to park.... Waiting room is sterile, has a trendy touch screen of Leafly, and don't forget the glass case of toxic promotional items for the dispensary--and you can even get these with your points. Wow. Called into 'consulting' and what you see is definitely not what you get. Just another legal drug operation in AZ. The flowers are harsh, undercured, and in that state, it is clear they are not concerned with the medicinal status of their product. It would be of better quality in every way if it was properly cured, which takes time no matter what way you look at it. They are another dispensary who is also not metrically correct, which requires patients to purchase 2 grams more every 4 weeks in order to attain their full allotment. This is an atrocity. Do we buy 15.5 oz for the label of a pound of meat at the butcher? Nope. Will I return? Nope.

I have been a loyal Emerald-er for some time now, and most of my sentiments about the Palace are top notch, but I have a criticism about the new gals.... The vibe from the budtenders that have been there for some time has always been from firstly an understanding of the patient's needs and also how they are affected by strains, as some are different. (Peppy is nice but you have to read your patient and understand them too;) It came off as very sales-like and maybe most can't see through that vibe, but it felt a little dirty coming from an establishment that reeled me in with the vibe and the knowledge and genuine nature of the tenders. I didn't see the very beginnings of the Palace team but it's also a good idea to keep the pep level for newbees somewhat contained otherwise it shows in their energy when the newness of the job wears off.... Seen a little of this in relatively newer folk too-- Just keep it real and genuine and you can't go wrong. Also, maybe consider 2 specials a day, one flower for the 'ancients' and one whatever else from the vapo- edi- trendy items-- Please us all! :)
