Ive gone to Patriot twice now.
Good Flowers:
Tried the 24K (18.6% thc) & White Widow (18.6% thc)
The 24K is a hybrid strain. It was a bit dry, but looked good, What stuck out on both strains was the scent. This strain was nice and STANKY. It had some piney, musky, fuel accents in there and over was just great to smell. 24k's taste followed up well, with a heavier musky flavor. Musky isnt a bad thing, its a good thing, its hard to explain my reasoning here but some ents out here will understand what im saying. Got that mm mm musk stank. And the high was great. Only complaint would be I could only get a half slice.
The White Widow had a very sweet, fuel-ly scent to it. Smelled excellent! The taste followed with a very fuel-ly taste to it. Ive never had a white widow strain like this. It could have been crossed with something but was listed as White Widow. It tasted very diesel, which is my favorite strain, so that ruled! The high that follwed was very clear, long lasting, and strong. I really enjoyed this one.
The rest of the place felt more like a doctors office, which is probably what they were going for but I didnt like the flow so much. From one accepting room,. into a waiting room, into a showroom, into a waiting corner. I dont like the packaging behind closed doors, and I didnt like the fact no rooms had that stank you expect from a dispensary. I do believe they prepackaged the buds causing them to dry out a bit. I threw them in my Cvaults and they perked right back up, but had I not owned a Cvault it couldve gotten even more dry, which would've been a problem for me. Another issue I had was the first time I went in I wasnt offered a menu, I had to ask. The second time they had no menus, this is an issues because the menu on the screen in waiting room one has a menu but it flashes quickly. The menu didnt have the percentages or much information at all which I thought was kinda silly, when I asked my bud tender she said they just "didnt think of it" which is somewhat worrying.
Overall the flower quality trumped my shortcomings and I will be going back again to try the next batch of flowers, edibles, etc. Its totally worth a visit, and I hope they can fix a few of the things I wasnt into. But like I said the flower spoke for itself!
