| - As a 45 year casual "user", I'm late to the medicinal dispensary party so pardon my ignorance. I just didn't care to negotiate the AZ state law hoops until recently and I'm glad I did. Yelp isn't very receptive of my political rants so I'll speak to my Harvest of Tempe visit directly and not even mention the absurdity of the Fascist, corporate healthcare we are relegated to receive in the shadow of our hideously racist, political, trillion dollar "war on relief" that benefits only the industrial military police and private prison industries along with their Republican political office holders.
I presented myself at Harvest with my shiny new virgin state-issued medicinal patient card still warm from my mailbox. I was greeted immediately by a gentleman anterior host who explained the process, handed me a clipboard to fill out yet another registration form (name, address, email, how did you hear about us, etc.) and invited me to the next weekly new user orientation seminar apparently held on site. Although a great idea for the newbie, I'll skip the classroom for now.
My inner-hostess was very helpful showing me some strains of flower products with names that of course meant nothing to me and reviewed briefly the hybrid, sativa, indica concepts which I'm still rather confused about.
I made three varietal purchases of two grams each: Sheila, Verde Electric ($19/g each) and Cherry Skunk (on sale at $10/g). I'm a bit embarrassed that I actually had to call the store from home when I realized there was no package labeling that identified where on the hybrid, sativa, indica scale each product aligned and I'm not sure I should even care! Another helpful gentleman explained to me that the Verde Electric was the only hybrid of the three and that the others were of the more sativa side. My understanding is that there are no hard and fast delineations of these products and the best way to grade them is to use them!
Bottom line after tasting only the sale-priced Cherry Skunk (gotta love these names): I'm very pleased with my visit to the dispensary and the product! I only wish, for a more scientific analysis, that I hadn't washed it down with an entire bottle of Pinot Noir! I'll sample the others with a cleansed pallet and clearer head and report back later.
Including the new member discount, there were three coupons itemized on my receipt totaling about $40! I walked out of there spending about $60 and they even tossed in a dark chocolate edible as a newbie gift.
One additional comment: Upon exiting, a fellow customer mentioned on the way to our cars that he used the liquid product/vaping process exclusively and saw no need for anything else. My sales consultant had not even mentioned or reviewed that methodology with me perhaps assuming I was old school when I'm really just old. I'll ask about it on my next visit because I'm sure there will be a next visit!
