Review by Evan Moross

I’ve been going to Milams (both places) since forever. Great service and selection!

Review by Greg Giles

I've been getting glasses at Milam's for nearly 35 years. Their selection of frames, the quality of their workmanship, and the level of service they provide are all superior to any that I've received anywhere else. I wish all merchants took as much pride in their work and products as Milam's does.

Review by ShawnMarie Frazier

I visited Milam Optical for a contacts exam as my Ophthalmologist doesn't do contact exams. I was THRILLED with the service. It has been several years since I've had contacts so I was concerned about wearing them again. Felda, was probably the most knowledgeable optician I've met when it came to discussing options to fit my unique situation. She gave me a few trial pairs, told me what to consider as I tried them out. I have sensitive eyes and she also spent time describing different solutions and gave me several samples. I have had a few follow up questions and always found the folks there to be responsive to my needs. I highly recommend Milam Optical!

About Nashville, Tennessee

Nashville is the capital and most populous city in the U.S. state of Tennessee and the county seat of Davidson County. Located in Middle Tennessee, it had a population of 689,447 at the 2020 U.S. census. Nashville is the 21st most populous city in the United States, and the fourth most populous city in the southeastern U.S. Located on the Cumberland River, the city is the center of the Nashville metropolitan area, and is one of the fastest growing in the nation. Named for Francis Nash, a general of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, the city was founded in 1779 when this territory was still considered part of North Carolina. The city grew quickly due to its strategic location as a port on the Cumberland River and, in the 19th century, a railroad center. Nashville as part of Tennessee seceded during the American Civil War; in 1862 it was the first state capital in the Confederacy to be taken by Union forces. It was occupied through the war.

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!
