| - One thing I know for sure... there WILL be a wait no matter what cannabis dispensary you go to. That is a given. Well... when we arrived at The Grove, there were about 10 people in line... so I go to the end of the line & await my turn. About 2 mins later, the security guard asks, "anyone have a medical marijuana card?" No one raises their hand but me. Security guard tells me to go right on through. Oh BOY you should've seen the reaction of those people in line! Walked past everyone like I owned the joint lol!
So I walk in & the waiting area is full... maybe about another 10-15 people. I fill out the paperwork (first timer at this establishment) & wait for maybe another 5 mins, if that.
I get called to the back & I'm assisted by a very friendly, very knowledgeable budtender. While I'm telling her what I'm looking for, I notice that the checkout line is maybe 15 people deep & those people do not look happy! When I'm ready to check out... she leads me to a completely different line & guess who's right at the front of that line? Yup that's right... me! I was in & out in less than 30 mins! I can only imagine how long those other people had to wait!
So let's talk about the establishment itself. OH EM GEE!!! This place reminds me of a state of the art Starbucks... but for BUD. There's a computerized menu behind the bar that rotates selections from indica, sativa, & hybrid strains, concentrate, edibles, etc. Not at all like the dispensaries I've been to.
Moral to this story? Get a med marijuana card! If you don't get a discount for having the card, at least you're not waiting over an hour... at this establishment anyway.
The only reason for a 4 star rating is that although the budtenders were friendly & knowledgable, there was a sort of disconnect. I don't know... they sort of felt like car salesmen if that makes any sense lol.
Overall... good experience at The Grove!
