Cookies parking is extremely limited and there's some waiting involved and small quasi shutdowns during the day to restock their busy store but entry and acceptance in was easy. The structures different with packaging on the shelf and viewable, while untouchable product on large tables are centered in the middle of the store. The products vast and even has some new items not seen which is always a plus. There is a small slight as there's no Thc percentages on any of the cartridges, however they can find it for you but would rather have those viewable. Pricing here at Cookies is more than competitive and much more cost effective than the surrounding areas. Economically this should be your stop to stretch those dollars but be aware legal mmj is taxed mmj and is the same for all dispy's in La Mesa, but the value added store pricing helps here. The customer service and product knowledge is on par with the best and the employee who assisted us was incredible. For a new shop it's well polished and stands above the local competition on just not the savings value but new variety. The tenders are top notch and the price (don't forget taxes) are better than the shops around it.

Lit has a nice aesthetic look and feel to the store that's comparable and well thought out. Parking was simple but with only a few spots you'll be parking on the street. Entry was easy and the customer service is top notch. The variety here is also good with multiple budget brands to help all. Now had this review been written before we visited "cookies" down the street, five stars but the difference between the price on these two stores on well known product is vast. For example, Stiizy full grams here are sixty while there is $40. Other major pricing disparities as well but leans more towards carts as flower seems better priced. This is a great shop and can recommend it, but after seeing the value price difference and the ability to always get more not far down the road will make visiting here problematic as with any other dispensary close by. Again, there are budget priced items but we'd like to see affordability the main component for bigger brands when providing to your "patients" or at least be competitive locally. Lit has a lot of pluses but it now misses the mark on pricing and solely hurts its overall score.

Strawberry Champagne has a taste that hits the spot of sweetness without being overdone with a doughy background that's pleasing. The oil is a darker hue of yellow with a high viscosity giving this cart long legs. It last longer than usual which is good since it negates it's punch. It's strong but lacks that noggin shaker feeling other Plug carts give right off the first rip. It takes a few more blinkers than usual but it will get you there, however it's not a lasting one although good for a few sitcom episodes and not much more. That being said this pod is still better than most out there. It's a solid product that's well above average, is tasty and well worth your investment. It could be more potent but it's strong enough. It's a keeper.

Purple punch by Pure One is better than average. The potency smacks higher than shown and it's strong which is full body and is felt mostly in the head. The oil itself is decently thick and the taste was a great blend of light sweetness and citrus. It was on point. Purple Punches high also sticks to you for a good movie and nothing more. This indica strain is perfect for relaxing all day usage and was never pushed to the line for sleep. The plastic cart should be revised as the material feels cheap when using but no problems whatsoever. Also, this cart was filled to the top with little bubble room, wish more companies would do this or luck hit us. This cartridge has good solid taste, strength with little usage and dependability as it gets the job done. A switch to a better cartridge would be preferred but it's a very small slight. This is a keeper.

Pure One has oil that's potent and stoner friendly. Its strong and can feel it almost immediately which starts at the brain and numbs the rest going down. The oils golden yellow and decently thick with little movement while the taste is straight piney distillate but it's not overwhelming. The box states this is "the best hitting ceramic cartridge", which isn't the case. The cartridge hits good but it's not a cloud ripper and although the guts are ceramic, the outside is all plastic which feels cheap on each pull. The cart had no problems however. Packagings cool too with all the necessary info for legitimacy. The only knock here is with the mechanics and limited flavor. Still, this is a keeper.

There's something about Beary Fire that feels like a letdown. Raw Garden never disappoints but this comes close. The oil is golden light color with more movement than usual causing rapid depletion of this cart. For regulars the strength just isn't there but sits on the edge feeling like the next hit may be the push needed. For newbies this is right up your alley. The taste is a true highlight that was more fruity with some earthiness thrown in. It's a real treat. The longevity of the light high is also good lasting a few hours but the drop off is fast. It's shows hybrid indica however didn't feel like one as this is an all the time hitter. The mechanics are incredible as well and no issues. Flavor is Beary Fires best feature followed by its lesser high but that's not a huge slight. It's wouldn't be the first Raw Garden choice but a respectable one. At 3.5 it's a light keeper.

Sunset Sherbert from Stiizy gives a rare true to dab taste and flavor that will appeal to those terpene lovers although getting to the required destinations not possible. The potency is just not there and running thru a cart in a few sessions will happen quickly and often. This new resin line also represents a price point the product can't support due to its many inabilities. It's a decent daytime hitter but theres certainly better and definitely worst. The cart itself had minor clogging towards the end but was able to finish without any real issues. Sunset Sherbert has perfect aroma and a dab like experience however the low potency, well above average price and inadequate hardware keeps this pod from being what it should be. It's a pass.

Going to a dispensary is a favorite pastime here. With what's now allowed these new shops are looking fantastic and Coastal Wellness can add that to their claim. It's a pretty shop that's inviting and well lit showcasing a variety of well known product and some unknowns thrown in there too. The employees are extremely nice and were helpful. Pricing was an issue here specifically on cartridges which were lacking in product variety to begin with although all other products didn't have this issue. CW is well above the average in that pricing without even the taxes involved and is no where near the competition. They do have economy cost items however it's a small lot and still a slight tick more than the norm. Taxes aren't the issue per the response but their much higher than normal prices are. Your money even after paying mandatory taxes will go further elsewhere. Still, it always good to have an extra option.

Sublime has oil that feels like it's a punch to your brain. It has strength that feels more potent than what's shown. A few blinkers off this cartridge will create some confusion in ya. It's also extremely thick and produces respectable good sized clouds. The high lasts for a long time and the value of the product is insanely cheap. There is a problem though... every sublime cart has clogged from the first few pulls in. It's frustrating to continuously heave pull to get to this great oil. It's a proprietary delivery device that doesn't work and it's not a question of if it will fail you...it will. This is a five star product in the making but the substandard cartridge brings this way down which is unfortunate. This has the capability to be with some of the bigger names, but as it sits a solid 3.5 is what this product deserves. It's a light keeper.

Sublime has got a lot going for them. The price is compassionate friendly for a full gram although only a few strains are available. The oil is thick golden yellow for this full spectrum oil that produces respectable clouds. The oil itself is a standout. A few pulls and the leverage of your brain starts dwindling. It's seriously strong and feels much more potent than the advertised 84%. It hits the back of the head fast and works its way down the body. The fantastic oil is let down by a substandard cart. Almost immediately the clogging issues started and didnt let up. It was heave pulling all the way which is frustrating for such a good product that deserves better. If the cart were perhaps ccell this review would be five stars and highly recommended. However that's not the case here and it sits on the line at 3.5 stars due to the subpar mechanical device alone. It's not a pass but a rather a light keeper.

Platinum Vapes GG4 is a solid product. This strain although one of my favorites, does not taste or have the same affect of GG4 but does a good in imitating its namesake. The strength has some power and will reduce hours from your day. The ccel cartridge is good with saucy thick producing clouds but a change to an all glass barrel would be appreciated. There's a good value here due to this company's appreciative low price point especially for a full gram. It's a hybrid but this leans more towards a Sativa and is good for all times of the day. Some beginners might find this distillate too strong and capables will enjoy its high potency. It's another solid product from PV and one that you should try. This is a keeper.

This was a surprise in a good way, although before that a few things. Parking isn't good as it shares its space. Speaking of space this second floor shop is extremely small and just a few customers make it full and it's probably best to put one atm on the outside instead of both in to save on said space. Once that's out of the way your treated to a very respectable wide range of products and even some unexpected ones not seen. Pricing is below the norm which is patient favorable. The customer service on display is top notch and the employees are all knowledgeable enough to assist. It's not the prettiest shop but makes up for it in product variety, service and low cost product. THC is worth a visit.

Stiizys new liquid live resin lines Pineapple is a very light treat. The strength is decent but overwhelming it's not. This indica leans slightly towards relaxation but sits you on the line so it's well worth it as a daytime hitter. The oil is thick and dark and did taste sweet but no notes of pineapple found. There's some distance to the light high as well as it stays for some time but could be more potent. The clouds are there but almost as always you'll be sure to drain this expensive half gram pod rather quickly. The price isnt your friend here either and puts its half grams close to full priced grams which this product doesn't support. The new box is artsy and counterfeit measures are a needed sight. Also, the pod clogged towards the end and since the price is more, why are the same problems still here? Pineapple is hard to recommend as the oils potency is lacking, the flavors missing as well as the poor mechanical dependability makes this a pass.

RCC is a little out of the way by a smidgeon but worthwhile. Parking is easy and upon entrance felt like your walking into comfort. The staff, all of them have service levels cranked up to assist. Paperwork was done quickly as well. Product variety is good although missing some of the heavyweights for carts, but still enough to satisfy. Pricing is exactly where I'd expect it to be that it's more along the lines of compassionate friendly. Same products sold elsewhere trend higher there than here at RCC so it's well below the norm making this store a great value. If you also include some of their solid patient deals there's even more to be had. Ramonas got some of the better shops around and RCC is an example of their finest. There was an unfortunate issue with their in house carts which they rectified with a phone call. Make your way here for a visit, you won't be disappointed. Quick note.. gps wasn't correct on the last turn. Should have gone left!

Stiizy is making a comeback on strength for their original strains. Same strains months apart has yielded stronger results, although still not up to their initial standards but well worth it. Biscotti is a hit straight off the first chest bursting rip. The strength is here and fully capable which will entertain your brain for a while. The taste is earthly with pungent weed odor following it. It's a dark and heavy indica feeling weighty in the brain and starts working it's way down to utter relaxation and some pain control as well. There were a lot of smooth draws before the pod clogged halfway thru taking a star solely off. The unevenness with these Stiizy pods are maddening especially when biscotti is top notch. This pod has pluses in spades. The strength feels stronger than advertised while the high just stays. The mechanical hardware is biscottis only letdown and the biggest peeve but hopefully your lucky. Still, this is a keeper.

There's been a difference lately with the base Stiizy product that's encouraging if you haven't noticed. Their original strain pods are testing higher lately than usual. This monster hitter was a surprise in a big way. The taste is straight gelato for those familiar and the high is heavy on the body and light on the noggin making It a solid daytime pod you'll enjoy. The high will chase you down quickly and stick around for a movie or two. The pod surprisingly had no mechanical problems and each hit was comparable to the end. This is a clear choice to buy should you see these new pods. The pluses here make this a great pod due to its blazer status. There aren't many negatives found and they are slight. If you see these old strains with now much stronger potency, pick them up! Gelato from Stiizy is a hidden star in a product line that's up and down. This is a keeper.

Theres a lot to like about Diamond Og although some issues prevent this from five stars. The oil itself is dark and viscous with a greasy look to it. The draws are smooth and really has no flavor other than cannabis but did stick somewhat until the end. The high is there but you'll need to chase it some with extra pulls however this cart excels at longevity. The thickness of this oil lasts insanely long so keep hitting. If there are any drawbacks the hardware would be it. The metal tip which wasn't good to start has now been twisted so there's grooves but still not a big fan of metal. It continues as sometimes there are light draws when other times the exact opposite and using an HH battery is not recommended. It's as this oil is being held back by the constraints of a inferior delivery device. There are cartridges in the market that would elevate this oil to the next level. Diamond Og is still a solid choice. It's a keeper.

Stiizy has something unique here but needs refinement. It's good to see new packaging and product but it's somewhat of a letdown. To start the oil is beautiful dark with lots of movement. That movement drains this cart much faster than expected using a biig battery. For daily heavy users this will get expensive and to boot, getting light bulbed is difficult because the thc strength is lacking. Also what started out as good flavor on the initial draw ended dirty on the backend. There were no issues with the pod itself for this overly priced item which puts its half grams in close competition with legit full grams. This is a disappointing product as Stiizy has something but they just don't know it or maybe don't understand their base? The negatives add up. The oils thin and tastes erodes fast. The pods overpriced and strength is best found elsewhere. Stiizy has far better reviewed strains of which this isn't one. A few adjustment are much needed here. It's a pass.

Orange Fuel has got one of the better flavors out there and it does taste citric like an orange with stank backing it up. The aromas got spots of the orange as well. The oil is gold thick with good viscosity and the cartridge worked fine although a switch to ccell is advised due to the odd size and shape of the cart itself. Strength is key here and OFuel has it being a short pull or long draw, it's got kick! The rise to the high is smooth and relaxing as this is more of an evening hitter although daytime is fine too. Unlike most carts the weight is .75 at a value price point. Realistically a few more bucks and a gram purchase would be a no brainer should it happen so maybe it's in the cards. The value is here along with quality tested oil. The effects are spot on and will get you there with quickness and ease. The packaging needed some bigger fonts and more info but other than the cartridge which did its job serviceable but not great, this is a good product. It's a keeper.

Cookie Wreck is aptly names for this subtly sweet, doughy background taste. It really sticks out in a good way as does the potency. The strength nails it with brain dragger heaviness after some delicious pulls. The high is smooth and relaxing and the ride to the top was a highlight since it didn't show it's capabilities until about ten minutes later but grabs you with authority. The ccell cart as always provides confident hits till the end and a ccell specific battery is your friend here. The metallic tip isn't the best and should go with their better hitting drivn cartridges instead although not an issue overall. The packaging still needs an overhaul and more batch info would be nice. An added bonus in that the cart was fully topped off even though it weighed at 900 mg's. Maybe barrels not big enough? This is a strain you should keep an eye out for. The taste, strength and quality makes it worth your time and cash. It's a keeper.
