West Coast Wellness Farmacy (College Area)

Now, I gotta be honest with you. This was the first dispensary I've visited in America. So, I was a little nervous about standing on El Cajon Blvd. ringing this particular doorbell for service. But, I got over it really quick once I saw the younger looking, female budtender - she was all smiles.

She asked "Is this your first time?" and I replied "Yes, ma'am". She then asked for my original doctor's recommendation, which I provided along with my CA DL. She was pretty quick about phone verification. (I happened to be the only patient in The Farmacy). So she buzzed me in the next door... Once I got in the budroom, it was kinda like a bank, or check cashing joint. They had a little maze line, and a few windows waiting to serve me. As I approached the counter, I could read the menu, wich was digitized on a little flat screen monitor next to the budtenders window.

To be honest, The Farmacy is a bit pricey, I think the top strains are $65. They do have good quality, and the different budtenders are fairly knowledgeable about their products. I was recommended some Headband, that was FIRE. (Sadly, when I went back a few days later, the batch was weak. But, I really liked the flavor of the Blue Dream they dropped on me instead). The Farmacy lists concentrates on the menu, but they say they're out everytime I've asked about it.

The bottom line is this. The Farmacy was never crowded when I went in there, so I've never had to stand in the line. I liked the easy, sort of discreet parking lot, as well as the laidback budtenders. As for smoke, they do have a few smelly nuggets, so if you're in the area, check 'em out. (First time patients do get a gift.)
