I came here as a visitor from Alberta. I had my MMPR paperwork with me so signing up was easy and the lady at the reception was very pleasant. I went in and met Chris who provided great service, let me know what the place was about and invited me to have a seat and either use their Volcano or smoke. Inside the dispensary. It was the most welcoming atmosphere I have experienced in any dispensary and you could tell they care about their patients. It was also helpful to me as a diabetic that they had fruit, juice, and water out and available.
The product is excellent. I tried out 4 sativas, 4 hybrids, and 3 indicas. All were great ranging from $9-$12 per gram. I would consider this top shelf cannabis and a fair price. I did get a price break on both a half oz of granddaddy purple and Gods Green Crack. They happened to be two of the favourite strains I tried. They had no problem with me buying a gram of a couple different strains and just sitting down and rolling a couple joints and smoking them there. On numerous occasions my hands were too shaky from my pharmaceutical pills they rolled joints for me. They also have pre rolled joints that are a good deal. It's actually good weed in there, lol.
The Mr. Kush extracts were very interesting. I had a cookie one afternoon and it was the first time an edible worked for me. I tried an indica chocolate bar later that evening and the effect was not quite as good. I think the honey would be excellent but didn't get a chance to try it. I did buy some budder and it is great.
There is no stigma there. It's clean. It's welcoming. They're professional and fair. There's not much more you can ask.
