There are not many close places in Escondido that has a legal dispensary. Too many pop up shops and deliveries sell products with leftover pesticides and substandard products are around. I used to work in the industry, and if you really knew about some of the chemicals that are sprayed on their weed; you would never buy it. Most untested weed will not pass a pesticide, mold, or residual nutrient test! Many places sell concentrates with residual butane! If you ever coughed up blood from smoking pesticide sprayed weed, then you would happily pay the tax for a clean product. People that complain about prices were probably the ones that voted yes on prop 64. Prop 64 taxes growers heavily, tax the dispensary, and requires costly lab testing. Best of all, the taxes go to the general fund to pay for all of the politicians retirements! This is an amazing place to go for weed that you can feel safe about smoking, and the staff is awesome!
