Always liked this place. It had a great records and CD collection, which has been cut in half, but still a great place

Not much in music, left. Used to be a huge music store

Review by Cassandra

I came in with my family (my sister, my husband and my three nieces) and we were followed around the store the entire time like thieves. The employee who was hovering near us didn't acknowledge us or speak to us to ask if we needed help. She just stalked our every move with a sour look on her face, even after I smiled and nodded at her, thinking she was hanging around to help us. It's a shame because my one of my nieces has a birthday coming up and I was planning on purchasing one of the toys she saw in the store but I refused to spend money someplace where we were so disrespected. Instead, we went to Pleasant Surprise and bought items there.

Of the two record stores in Newport, the Music Box is the best for more recent releases. There is a used section, however, if you are looking for used records I recommend the nearby store Vinyl Guru.

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!
