Review by Amy Senia

Had a super bizarre scheduling mishap. I was scheduled for a much-needed deep tissue because of neck pain. I get a voicemail from them in the middle of a final exam, two or three hours before the massage was supposed to start, saying that actually my therapist was not free at the scheduled time and they were canceling my appointment. They offered a time with a different therapist an hour later while I was still in my exam. I called when I got out of the exam and they said my therapist didn't have another appointment for two weeks. No apology or anything. Neck was killing me and I was going to be a first-time client! Super weird.

The hallway leading to the massage room was dirty. The place felt dirty and not of the standard I expected for the area.

I'm giving them two stars instead of one because the front desk people were very friendly--one of them was very helpful with all my questions about deep tissue massages. My appointment was with Amy, who appeared normal, friendly, and professional at first. It wasn't until about fifteen minutes into the massage that she started talking to me about the Bible. First, she told me a story about Noah and why homosexuality is a sin, and that she thinks the US is going to be destroyed because gay marriage is legal now. I'm a very nonconfrontational person, and given that I'm half naked with her digging her fingers into my spine I didn't feel comfortable arguing with her. I don't know, I'm not great at handling weird situations. I tried to redirect her to talking about pressure points, problem areas, etc. She kept returning to Christianity. At one point she said the government is trying to put chips in our heads with the antichrist in them. I can't help but laugh typing this out. I mentioned my dad is Hindu and she told me I need to accept Jesus Christ into my heart, that he is the "one true god". Later on, we were talking about stretching exercises, and I asked about yoga. She strongly suggested I against yoga, saying it's a way of worshipping Indian gods, and that strange things happen when you do it. Amy even told me there have been multiple complaints about her in the past. How is this woman still working here? Her comments made me feel like I was being worked on by a crazy woman, and that if I said something against her religion she might actually hurt me. I complained to the receptionist when I came out and she was pretty surprised and apologized. Offered to get the operations manager for me, but I just wanted to get out of there. So here I am, sitting at the Starbucks across the street from them writing this. I don't know if their other massage therapists are crazy, maybe the rest of them are great, but it definitely says something that they've already talked to Amy about this behavior multiple times and she's still working there.

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!
