How can I pay for my purchase?Cash is always accepted, and customers can use a pin-debit payment system at the register. Visa and Mastercard transactions are not currently available due to federal banking restrictions on cannabis, but an ATM is on-site if it's more convenient.
When is the dispensary open?Our doors are open seven days a week to fit into your routine. Hours may vary on holidays, so calling ahead is always a good idea to avoid any surprises.
Can I place an order online before I arrive?Pre-ordering is an option we support. Reserving your products before arriving speeds up checkout. Come in during operating hours, present your ID, and our staff will have everything pulled.
Are there ways to save money on purchases?Yes — we run. Rotating weekly specials feature specific categories throughout the month. A loyalty rewards program lets you earn credits each time you shop that can be redeemed future orders. Check with a budtender for current promotions.
