What a roller coaster. After the raid this became my go to spot. got to know some of the more senior staff and we talked about the industry and was thrilled when they reduced their new lower pricing a few months ago.
Then WHAMMO, instead of a display case of gorgeous buds and knowledgeable staff we qet empty shelves and instead of picking your own bud you get a pile of pre packaged gram bags of what looks like untrimmed mexican dirt weed. Handed over by staff that can not explain what hybrid means. I used to travel a long way here by bus, no longer.
I don't know why anyone would accuse Mettrum of being overpriced. They have an incredibly fair price schedule of 5 dollars a gram across the board. There is no volume price break in the same way my other prescription medications have flat pricing. The claim of over 20% THC is a stretch as the high seems like bud of about 1/2 the level of THC but that is subjective. You also get stuck with the soup de jour with very little variety.
One the bright side, In addition to the low price the product arrives within 24 hours and the buds look big, frosty well cured and trimmed. Good flavour both smoked and vaped.This might be an excellent source of inexpensive starting material for edibles or bho.
Excellent genetics. This strain delivers a euphoric yet perfectly functional cerebral stone. I don't see it as often as before so get it if you can find it.
Well, I bought three syringes of high THC oil and after consuming all three in under two hours was clearly given the low THC oil with high CBD.
So that was pretty dissapointing.
Flowers were excellent
Shatter was full blown psychadelic trippy so do your homework before trying this stuff,
The delivery service is professional, discrete and were courteous enough to let me know they would be a bit late which I though was amazing. I never know whether to tip the driver with whom I conducted a very high school reminiscint transaction in his car in hushed tones. I tipped him.
The staff are VERY knowledgable and patient and friendly.
Selection in store is good and it is a pleasant place to be.
Downside....parking stinks so bring a friend to car sit to prevent towing. It also has the one issue most dispensaries have....UNDERSTAFFED.
Listen management everywhere: I know starting as a cannabis entrpreneur is risky and expensive. But stop trying to save money by having less staff.
I had really high hopes after reading previous reviews.
I don't know if I will go back as I left feeling very dissapointed. The lousy part is that it has nothing to do with the product I purchased and I felt as if it would have been so easy for them to make it an amazing experience.
I felt as if I was a complete nuisance to them and that only after a long wait while they finished texting, followed by a sigh and then an almost jaw dropping inability to answer simple questions like "Can you tell me the indica/sativa ratio of this particular hybrid strain?"
The answer was consistently, "No, I cannot"
They suggested I check out this cool strain database called LEAFLY if I wanted to know such things. Well, its not going to tell me which particular phenotype of Bruce Banner #3 I see in the jar in front of me.
I am interested in knowing what medicine I am consuming. Is that unreasonable?
The short review is that the product is excellent, the prices are fair market, the selection of THC injestion options like oil, hash, concentrates, edibles, topical creams, beverages was excellent, they were sold out of the bud strain I had researched and was prominently displayed on the web site.
That's cool, it happens..but while I was there I watched a staff marking sold out beside most of the most desirable strains.
I definately would have bought more product, tried new things and generally spent a ton more money there if felt valued as a customer and had confidence in what it was I was actually buying.
oh, to close off one more thing....as an example I asked about whether the signifcant price diffence between morrocan and pakistani hash was justified and what differentiated the two.
The Answer......"well one type is from Morrocco and the other is from Pakistan".
Like thats all anyone would ever want or need to know about that. Its not like comparing cars between Germany and China. Maybe there is a higher THC content in one or the Pakistani techniques are blah, blah blah. I don't personally know. Maybe they are always identicle but shipping and handling is the difference.
Overall its a shame because there is so much potential, I repeat
I definately would have bought more product, tried new things and generally spent a ton more money there if felt valued as a customer and had confidence in what it was I was actually buying.
