The Giving Tree is a better dispensary than most, (in AZ) a great atmosphere and friendly easy people. I will return to check on the inventory and with a consistency of quality at a good value I will make it my regular place. They give free .7 gram spliffs with purchases higher than so much. I don't recall, maybe 100$. So find what you like and buy by the ounce, get a couple of free spliffs with it. Place is more balanced and professional than the other dispensaries in AZ I've been to. Nice people and reasonable buds, candy, brownies (are awesome at 120mg). A note not involving giving tree but may be of value to them. See below. Having grown multiple types and styles for the very ill and dispensaries in CA and OR I feel that AZ has far to go. Especially when dealing with folks that have compromised immune systems. It is imperative to be pure and medical grade. I also feel that it is unreasonable to charge higher rates for higher THC content as it costs the same to produce a plant regardless of dry weight or content. I realize everyone will want that one but not if someone educated, educates them in the info that THC % doesn't create the more medicinal cannabis. There are nearly 450 cannabinoids in a plant depending on the strain. And much of the medicinal value can be obtained through whole plant extracts like those used as a common cancer therapy in Spain with great success. I also would like to see a THC or sub cannabinoid % content and a contamination free cert. I would love to see AZ get the act together in terms of quality and diversity of product as well as providing clones that are not contaminated at every turn. (giving tree doesn't do clones). It looks bad to see a WPM or Mite invested clone and expect a customer to not expect the buds to be covered in pesticides or dead mites or spores. Then a poor novice buys one and either destroys the crop or infests the grow room or the crop just dies. Or in my personal experience get fungal bronchitis from one use of buds contaminated with botrytis. Often the pests on these plants have adapted to natural forms of control and the only way to clear them is with good knowledge and technique or not at all or using a pesticide (might as well drink ant poison) The so called dispensaries here could use a major overhaul. If someone with the experiences like myself was involved, that dispensary would be leading in the state. Look for someone that has done it for years already in another state and hire them. I'm new to purchasing buds as I've grown my own until recently with the proximity laws here. Maybe I'm spoiled and picky. Once again, the above statements are not a negative report on The Giving Tree. I'm expressing where improvements state wide could be and how picky I am. This place was GREAT! I hope they read the advice above and become a great success. I will return and enjoy a decent product.
