First time. Definitely not like the apothecary I don't know why the security is so tough here. The whole process of selecting weed and then waiting for the cashiers to dispense it in another room sucks. I felt a little like a dirt bag with all the bullet proof glass. It was weird. I have only been to the apothecary but this is so different. Haven't smoke test so maybe it's all worth it. So far it's been a pain in the ass process. Good deal for 1st pts. Way better than thrive up the street
