okay i was ready to hate this place. i don't like out of state businesses taking up market share and licenses in new england. i still hope they lose out to some massachussetts locals.

but,,, i had a very good first experience there

i bought an eighth of their house brand purple urkle, and two prerolls chocolate og and some kind of cookie cross. the urkle was fire!!! so nostalgic. i miss that herb. nicely grown, nicely cured, nicely handled, nicely packaged. the sticker said 18% thc but it was more theraputic than the ~30% chocolate og by a million times.

+excellent customer service, knowledgeable budtenders
+great atmosphere
+both house grown and outside producers on the menu
+prices seemed slightly better than the other places i've been in state
+you can see and smell the products before buying

-out of state business

I only bought from them once, and didn't care for the flower I got, thought it was overly dry and not interesting. Also, their prices seemed high to me? They seemed to have two tiers, and the top-shelf ended up being 65 or 70 after taxes I think.

I have to admit I have never really engaged in conversation with the staff of any of these places. Seemed pleasant enough.
