    • Take a look at the dispensaries like GreenCross. Sub $30 for an 1/8th is pretty typical.

    • Why is this any better than just calling a delivery service that already exists? You get to maintain direct control over the strains you get that way as well. And you don't get…

    • I would love this if they offered arthritis cream and edibles. Not so much with the smoking.

Questions

  • Why cash only and how delivery payment works

    From 2 comments
