I visit different shops hoping at each visit to find another medical dispensary to write a positive review endorsing them as passionately as others have done. I cannot do this with Alternative Solutions ... best to say is this place fits the description of "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly!" The Good, flowers appear to be top shelf, (unfortunately a magnifier for viewing was not provided/displayed on the counter so I had to wait until I got home to inspect under an electronic magnifier and I found the two 1/2 ounce flowers to be good ... not excellent!) Additionally, another "great" feature of the dispensary is that they offer all flowers for $25 an 1/8 so if you are someone who purchases amounts under an ounce this is a great buy for you. Another positive, the two ladies working the counter were friendly and willing to show any product.
The Bad, well the menu was not available - no way to know suggested donations and I thought I was purchasing bud recommended by the owner at the same price as the bud I was purchasing (price memorized from Leafly) and found at checkout, my mixed ounce (two strains), purchase resulted in only a savings of $20 vs. most dispensaries nearby and in NE. I also found trying to read the strain names written on top of the jars in marker difficult and perhaps if the menu had been available I would have known my choices better.
Which brings me to the Ugly ... location, location, this area is very sketchy!!! There isn't a waiting area, (perhaps the dispensary doesn't get so busy that they can handle the one to two visitors at a time) I have no way of knowing how many people can be accommodated and as only one buying customer came in while I was there, perhaps waiting isn't an issue. I left a male friend/patient in my vehicle while I went inside and he informed me upon my return that he wouldn't be coming back to the area based upon some incidents in the parking lot he had witnessed. I am a female and I too won't return, however, if you need to save up to $50 per ounce on limited strains or you can only buy by the 1/8, shop in the mid day it is safest.
I purchase anywhere from 3 to 4 ounces per month so affordable pricing and top shelf quality is a must for me, I recommend that if you don't live near this dispensary, try out a few others, suggested donations may be $10 - $50 be higher per ounce, however, if you become a regular customer or you are on a fixed income most will provide you with discounts and/or free products/gifts as thank you's for visiting bring your end costs to near the same.
A few other negatives for me were the limited selction of BHO, no Kief and limited display for medibles.
