My VERY FIRST experience at a legal dispensary! I was totally hyped as Nevada has legalized recreational use. This particular dispensary came highly recommended and when we arrived, we could see why! There was a line out the door to get in. I had never been through this process so this was all new to me.
There was an extremely friendly "doorman" letting people in as space became available in the check-in/waiting room. Once you make it into the waiting room, you have to register with the person behind the desk/glass window. The usual - drivers licence or ID. Don't get scared - they do keep it until you meet your "budologist". As you wait in the very comfortable bench cushions and chairs, there are two very large HDTVs that scroll through the various products that The Grove offers along with their prices. This kind of gives you an opportunity to get an idea of what you want before actually entering the "store".
Your "budologist" will call your name and return your ID, he or she will introduce yourself. Ours was extremely helpful and friendly, I wish I remembered everyone's names! So each budologist has their little corner of the store with displays that they can elaborate on. They are full of valuable information and are very patient - especially considering my sister and I were both newbies. The budologist takes your order and gives it to the cashier where "runners" gather your order. You get in line again to check-out and they had our order ready as soon as we got to the front! Everyone, I mean EVERYONE was amazing at The Grove. I wish I lived in Vegas so I could frequent this facility. But no worries, every time from here on out I will visit The Grove.
They give you your items in a very cute and discreet purple zip package with their emblem on it. Each item has its own label that very much resembles prescription labels! It has the name, the strength, the amount, etc.
You exit out the back way where, if you're not careful you'll miss it, a video machine that will take a short video of you acting silly that you can email to yourself. Pretty cool!
