Price alone would give them this review, and the customer service gets 👍👍 ask about P2 and Pure Extracts, but everything is worth a look.

MIDS, no real top shelf or great packaging dates for the cheap pricing. This place is more focused on budget friendly than quality. Staff is awesome. If you want cheap weed go here, and look somewhere else if you want that high end top shelf. Five stars for the experience and the price points. Do not recommend for top shelf... read full comment

UPDATE: Brett, the owner, reached out and made everything right. There was a little issue with the signage, and he went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. I will absolutely keep coming back here, because they’re the kinda people that wanna make sure every client is taken care.
