Review by Dennis Parent

This place is great because it has a swimming pool, weight room that has both free weights, machines and a cardio room. It also has a day care center. This place has a small parking lot with wheel chair accessible ramp and handicapped parking. It is very clean inside and the staff are nice people. They also offer different after school programs for kids. They even have a indoor basketball courts. I had an interview here a few months ago to be a certified personal trainer. But I ended up not getting the job. It would be great if I did get the job here cause this place is really a nice place inside. Back In 2004 i had an internship thing here at the fitness center for my college home work that went great.

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!
