Review by Laura Zane Nwagbaraocha

Blatant racism thinly disguised as red tape. My husband and I are an inter-racial couple. We walked in, received a dirty look. We were trying to get a prescription filled for our 10 year old who broke his hand while we were camping and needed Tylenol 3 for pain. Initially they said they could not fill it based on our insurance card, it was not a prescription card. I am a medical provider and known that you have to run the cards to determine benefits on some cards. I stated we use it all the time for prescriptions. Then she said the prescription was not valid because it was written in Florida, where we are from. It was written at the Kentucky hospital our son was treated. I told her that. Then she said she could not fill it because I did not know my 10 year old's social security and she had to have the patient's Social Security #. My 5 year old at that point asked to go to the bathroom, and we were refused, stating it was for employees only. I finally stated it is obvious you don't want to serve us. We will just go to Walgreens. She said, okay...and gave me the directions. Walgreens was able to fill it in 15 minutes, with my husband's social. It is sad that we tried to support a small business only to have such a poor experience. My next step will be to call the Kentucky licensure board and file a complaint.

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!
