I am updating a previous review after a few months using NSMC. I felt my previous review didn't provide a proper description of the dispensary.
NSMC is an excellent provider with a fast and friendly delivery service. I live a bit outside of the free delivery area but I feel the delivery charge is more than fair. The medication is fantastic and is nearly always posted on their website with test results. In fact, NSMC's testing policy might be the best example for other dispensaries to adopt. It is rare to find a non-tested product on their menu and they even provide a links to test results. Their cheaper flowers are still good, though less potent obviously, and if you read the descriptions you should very easily be able to decide if it is for you or not. Spliff Gardens usually has more potent flowers but the donations are also bit pricier. Trichome Gardens has some excellent strains but also some amazing concentrates. Their flowers are can be every bit as good as Spliff's Garden so I wouldn't necessarily advise only getting the Spliff Gardens selections. You can be absolutely confident that the descriptions for each menu item are completely honest and are there to help you make a decision on what you want.
In a previous review I claimed that NSMC is more expensive than other dispensaries. On the surface it seems that way because strains flowers are usually $10-13 a gram with some occasional strains that are $15. My opinion that it was more expensive was based on the other dispensaries that have a $10 donation on flowers regardless of potency or quality. However, the website has many deals, including a "dank of the day", which brings the standard price down quite a bit. Because of this I find that NSMC can sometimes be more cost effective than dispensaries with a $10 per gram cap.
One of the most admirable qualities of this dispensary is the honesty. Over the past several months NSMC has earned my trust. If they ever steer me wrong in the future I'll be shocked. For an example, and this is a rare occurrence, but there have been at least one time where a particular strain wasn't quite up to their standards so they offered it at a substantial discount, and not as one of their standard sales. I recall the menu claiming something along the lines of "it is good for the price". This tells me that NSMC has high standards, honestly describes items on the menu, and is willing to provide substantial discounts on thing that fall short of meeting their high standards. Honesty and trust go a very long way and NSMC has provided me with every reason I can think of to earn my trust.
