This is the most absurd thing I've ever heard. So if the budtenders are wearing pretty white lab coats and they have nice furniture then it doesn't matter if they are peddling crap?
Afterall, this is the model the big pharma/doctor industry has created.
Doctors wear their white lab coats and hang a stethoscope around their neck to give the APPEARANCE that they know what they are doing when mostly they are clueless.
It's like all the dispensaries in LA that call themselves Pharmacies. Like they are a real pharmacy. it's all one big joke. ON YOU!
