Review by Brad Fisher

All female bud tenders with a rock solid all male security team. Who says they can’t have employees play the roles that make sense for the business? I like it. It feels safe. No one is getting away with anything on these guys. Overall, a good pot shop...pleasant experience...If you want the rock star strains, do your homework.

First time was on 420 last year. I've been to lots of shops since CA legalized. This is by far the best shop I've seen. Very friendly, great selections, fair prices, looking forward to next trip!

I live in San Diego but was up this was and needed some stuff. It looks really shady from the outside, but it's just fine and there is a security guard there. I was happy with my bud-tender and if I come back this was I'll come back

Review by Robert Gutierrez

I mess with these folks heavy. Good team and they ain't pushy. Tree has been tasty and I've had no issue with any of the carts I picked up. Early bird specials too?! Happy hour is lit!

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!
