Review by Green Carver

I came to see Amy for back pain after I had an accident at work. I had an large object fall on my mid back from 15 feet above me and landed in the ER. Amy treated me the day after my accident and the acupuncture treatment helped reduce my pain dramatically. I also came back for several more treatments and I believe this helped me get back to work much sooner. I am very grateful and now I see Amy periodically for tune-ups and she helps keep my back healthy and pain-free!

Review by Florida Booth

I recently booked a facial rejuvenation acupuncture session with Amy and it was fabulous! I felt like my face was tightening during the session, and I know for a fact that she stimulated circulation and no doubt collagen production, as I could feel that heat on my face. Amy examines where on your face you need a lift, and inserts the needles accordingly. She is very gentle and it is painless. She ends with an acupressure massage on your face and neck, followed by the most wonderful anti aging moisturizing and skin tightening products. It was heavenly. I moved here from Houston and went regularly to an acupuncturist that did facial rejuvenation. I never felt better! And I plan on making Amy my regular miracle worker from now on. It took me 14 years to find someone up here, and I feel so great about it!!! I definitely recommend her.

Following the American Conquest of California, the community of San Rafael incorporated as a city in 1874. Read More

What is a Dispensary?

A dispensary is a store that sells special items or dispenses the specialized items. Cannabis or marijuana dispensariers started in the US some time in the early 1990’s when Dennis Peron opend the San Francisro Cannbis Buyers Club. Back then the cannabis dispensary faced a ton of hardships, but Dennis, his team and dream helped pave the future for all future recreational and medical cannabis dispensaries. In 2014 the first recreational dispensary, 3D Cannabis opened it’s doors in Colorado. As of 4-1-19 33 states have medical dispensaries and 10 states have recreational dispensaries.

At a dispnsary one will find many differnt kinds of cannabis flowers (buds) and concentrates, edibles along with smoking untensils, but have a limited selection compared to online shops like Elev8 Glass Gallery. The dispensary also will have what is called a budtender to help you find what you are looking for. If you need help with cannabis info Elev8 Presents is a good resource.

What is the difference between a medical or recreational dispensary?

In realtiy medical and recreational dispensaries are the same thing. This all comes down to the states laws on cannabis. We feel cannabis is just like alcohol and medical will happen first and then recreational will follow, and so far history is showing this. Dispensaries are an excellent place for patients and recreational smokers alike to find the cannabis that best suits their needs!
