Review by Kim Young

This is not a place I would recommend to anyone. The pediatric eye center was fine I didn't have an issue with them. When I had to go over to the dispensary to get my daughter glasses the first question I was asked was what type of insurance would I be using. I said Medicaid in which I was only offered 2 pair of glasses to choose from which were too big for my 1 yr old( I was thinking the office only carried those 2 pair of glasses for a small child). She broke them the same day she got them. I called back to ask if they had the flexible glasses for toddlers. They said yes, I then asked why no one told me about them when I was there. The lady said with my insurance I could only get certain ones. I told the lady no one even offered me to purchase the correct ones for her. My daughter doesn't get Medicaid because she is low-income, she gets Medicaid because she is adopted! I could have purchased what she needed, but I wasn't offered. Not a good sales-person and not good customer service

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!
