Is It Really "California's Best Meds"?

Not quite, but it's pretty decent and worth stopping by for sure. They took around 10 minutes to verify my rec. I watched part of that Mike Tyson documentary, on the old school big screen, in the waiting room. It was kind of busy traffic-wise. But once I got inside the budroom it was gravy.

The menu, on a dry-erase board, listed indicas on the left and sativas & hybrids on the right, with suggested donations next to them. When I looked into the jars under the counter, I saw some good quality strains. It's pretty bright in there so you can really see your meds. And if it's not good enough they have magnifying lamps so you can get in on those trichromes. The budtender let me thoroughly examine anything I wanted, and was eager to break out the next strain. There were actually two budtenders, and they were extremely perky & friendly, a little bit too friendly for me (trading names & whatnot). But some people dig that.

In the end, I got 1/8, half OG Venom and half Louie XIII. They weighed it right in front of me, but I ain't gonna lie, the shit is taxed (Louie XIII was $70 for an 1/8th!). Good thing I had that $10 coupon out of The Reader, otherwise it would've been sort of a problem. They reminded me of the "free joint Mondays" a few times, and told me I could bring the coupon everytime I visit. They also gave me one of those little pipes, as a free gift for first time members. I think I might go back if I'm in the area, but not without that Reader discount.

Did you look at the two businesses on the right & left of Cal Best? Ha!
