How can we review the actual PRODUCTS sold???
It would be nice if we could review the actual products rather than just reviewing the store where you bought it from. It would definitely help me in making my selections if I saw others reviews on the products. Just leaving a review of the store seems pretty pointless - but yet you can leave a new review of the store every month 🤦🏼♀️ If that’s the case, I will be leaving positive and negative reviews on the stores page as to what the associates recommended to me - and what I thought of the item itself. These dispensaries are pushing the non popular items into those who do not know any better. We’re relying on the seller to guide us to the BEST KNOWN products - and they’re telling us wrong - in order to sell the crap that didn’t sell last month. Isn’t that a conflict of interest? And don’t say what was good for one person, may not be good for another.... you guys know if it’s good or weak 🙄

Joppa, MarylandHello, please call us at 410-676-1123 (ask for Gabby) so we can discuss what product you are referring to. Weedmaps unfortunately is a third-party server and they limit what people can review. Looking forward to your call.

Most honest review
Let me first say this, the lady at the front desk (very dark black hair) is awesome! She’s got the best personality for the position and company. She is the first person you see and meet. It’s quite overwhelming when you go through the doors to the back and see all the writing on the walls displaying their product names and THC% for each one. I had a male staff member (big muscley guy) help me decipher what’s what and what’s good for what symptoms. I chose a variety bundle that day 7 1g samples for $65) so I could try a little of a lot. $65 for 7 grams is very high. Yes, you’re getting a variety but that’s extreme. NCW sends texts out daily with their one day specials but honestly, in the past few months I’ve only seen maybe 2 great deals that I felt is worth purchasing without feeling like I was robbed (oz/$200) but I couldn’t go on those specific days so I didn’t get it. Wish they’d make them weekly specials. But the samples were decent, other than a few stems that were on the “larger” side that I feel shouldn’t be in it. My next visit I wanted a vape. I had a pen already so I bought some cartridges they recommended that would fit my pen. They helped me choose my Sativas. They were good except they don’t last at all, 4 days! I only smoke in the evenings to relax myself for bed, 5/6 hits. Next they recommended pax pens, that supposedly last longer. It did but the cartridge won’t stay in my Vape, slides right out. Muscley guy again helped me. Also wanted an oz of Sativa flower from the specials list and ended up with an oz of indica dominant hybrid (Hurkle) but didn’t know it til I got home and looked it up. I ask for Sativa but receive an indica D hybrid. And I remember him telling me the THC% doesn’t really matter, it’s more the “terpines” that you want to focus on. I specifically asked him “so lower THC levels doesn’t mean you have to smoke more to get the desired result?” He said “no, you won’t have to smoke more”. So I bought it. Tried it. And I’ve since have learned that what he said was BS. I had to smoke a lot more to get the same effect I’m used to. That’s what let me know that they push certain products onto ignorant customers. From now on, I’ll check their website for stock of the specials, research the strains myself & already know what I want when I go in. They also sold me a broken $6 grinder, was missing the magnet that holds it together. The older female gave me a plastic one free as a replacement that you have to constantly clean because of sticky weed making it unusable. Continue to find seeds & unattached stems in my bags, not sure if that is the fault of the dispensary or the grower. I’m sure the dispensary gets it in bulk then packages & distributes it themself. Overall it’s a nice spot with nice people. I know right now is crunch time with sky high prices, gotta make as much as they can before other shops open, before its legalized recreationally & before supply surpasses demand.

Perryville, MarylandGreetings, and thank you for writing into us. Not sure who it was that waited on you, maybe Kory or Donny (they're both kind of "muscley"), but we're sorry that you didn't get what you were looking for. Not sure why, if you were looking for a Sativa, you would be directed to a strain like Hurkle, especially with the board so wide open and full of Sativa choices, but nonetheless, we are sorry that you didn't get what you were looking for. Along the lines of terpenes, they do certainly have a large impact on treating conditions ranging from depression, PTSD, insomnia, etc. Terpene profiles vary from strain to strain naturally, and each has its own characteristics that target select areas. THC levels certainly have an impact, from low to high, but not knowing exactly what desired result you were looking for, makes it a little difficult to determine. If you were just looking to go gusto and get as high as you could get, then THC levels are what you are looking for. We make recommendations every day to patients looking to treat a wide variety of symptoms, yet there are some that are just looking for a race car path to getting high. I'm not sure what avenue you were looking for. However, we by no means are in the business of "pushing certain products onto ignorant customers." Our budtenders are not commissioned sales reps, so there is no reason to oversell or push something that isn't going to work for you. In fact, we're just the opposite here at NCW, patient care and wellness is our top priority. Along the lines of pricing, we're not sure when you were in last, but we have made some very aggressive price changes over the last several weeks. We have over 20 strains of 3.5g that are $35 every day. We have new deals during the week, to include 7 prerolls for $50 on Fridays, 7 flower 1g for $50, and so on. Please take a moment and browse our menu for a lot of new pricing. Lastly, we do package some flower, but not all, here at the dispensary. However, our packaging methods are very particular and precise, complete with a waste receptacle that we move any stems, flower, and / or seeds to upon packaging. We're happy to hear that you do enjoy the dispensary, and we look forward to having you back. Hopefully we've answered your concerns, and if you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to give us a call at the dispensary. We're here to help, and thank you again for the feedback!
