After reading some of the reviews I was extremely hesitant, however my wife pointed out that the reviews were over a year old so we figured we'd give it a go. I'm not sure what the store was previously like, but our experience was exemplary. We bought the Broken Coast Pipe Dream 3.5 and it was sticky, beautiful smelling and smoked super smooth with a nice white ash. From what the budtender told me, I understand that all of the bud is pre-packaged by the government which is why it varies so much from product to product, but they were extremely honest and open about packing dates and freshness. We had an amazing time, werent pressured to buy anything and left with great weed. Will be back 100%!!!
