    Picking up some cbd
    Stephanie M.

    After hurting my back lots of people that I've spoken to have talked about all the wonders CBD can do over habit forming prescription pain pills that you get from your doctor when you injure yourself. So I decided that if it helps dogs and cats why not people so I did lol? HFL McDowell is definitely the best location to come to from the staff that checks you in down to the security guards. They have a large selection of cbd, edibles and for the medical or recreational smokers a huge selection of hippie lettuce. So whatever your needs may be and you live in NE Mesa I would recommend HFL on McDowell and Recker.

    Soooo, it's been about 2+ years since I visited the Health for Life location on McDowell in Mesa. Thoroughly impressed when I came in the first time. Well lit, well stocked, very efficient. That isn't the case anymore. My wait time from standing line outside the door to walking back out with my purchase was close to one hour. No super sales or recreational sales to have a crowd, there were approximately 5 people ahead of me, not including who might have been in the back in progress with their own transaction. When it was my turn, I asked if they were sorry staffed. The budtender response was "kinda, people call off...". I get it, shit happens. A lot of frustration can be mitigated by keeping your customers informed. Even if all you can say is "We're doing our best, thank you for shopping with us" is better than saying nothing. The woman who was checking in "walk in" customers didn't say a lot. As for the product... meh. I haven't even smoked it yet, but I opened up the eighth of Lemon Skunk that is their own brand and it was pretty dry, small popcorn buds, and it was .25 grams short of 3.5.

    Does anybody know what the best recreational strain is? I keep getting ripped off with $60 eighths of flower that have no terpenes at all. They just say they have "high THC" which I don't care about if it's dry and tastes like Reggie. Someone Lmk

    Is this a recreational store?

    No. There are no recreational stores in Arizona at this time. Prop 207 is n the ballot NOW for legalization of recreational. In anticipation of 207 passing this store has clearance deals since there will be mandatory testing of all products… Read more

    I like this dispensary and I go here all the time but I had an experience today that made me wonder…read moreabout the employees. I recently renewed my card and was given a coupon for $150 over three visits at Harvest. The young man who helped me told me that it wasn't good for Harvest, and it was instead good for ReeferDoc, where I could get patient education. So I looked carefully at the coupon, and that is not the case at all. An employee of this business is giving out completely incorrect information and preventing people from using the coupon that Harvest has issued. Talk about working against your own employer! My online order was not ready when I arrived so the young man went to get it and brought me a bag filled up with product I had not ordered. I ordered high potency and he delivered low potency even though I gave him my card and presumably he knows I'm a medical patient. My advice is to be super careful with your orders and coupons because some employees at this business don't know what's going on.

    Interesting to see some extremes in the reviews here. For my visit I could see both ends of the…read morespectrum... Parking might be a challenge if the place gets busy. Coming here when it seemed to be a normal level of activity (taking a stab at what normal might be) there were not many spots available at least close by. Entering, it is just plain confusing. This is my first time in Arizona so some of this might just be the local regulations. At least the people that were behind the windows were friendly enough to wave you to them. First time visitors need to show ID (obviously) and then fill out a short form. I have no idea why - again, is this HOC or AZ? Then you get directed to go through the door into the main display area to the left. What is going on to the right? Maybe pickups? I'm not sure. You then see arrows for medical vs recreational service but again, those directions might be for when things get more busy since I was just waived on to a budtender who was free. Like a place I was to in Vegas, I am not sure how the large display area relates to actually doing business here since all transactions happen at the counters. For me, I already looked online, so I knew what I wanted and though the person in front of me was service friendly they didn't seem to know much. Where is the gram weight on the packaging? Compatible with a 510 battery? What's that? You mean CCell? Oh, we are out of that but here is a different flavor of the same thing we did have in stock that you wanted. They only take cash, but ATMs are present. Why they don't take debit is again unknown. Is that an Arizona regulation or are they just not set up for that for the business? Yes, it is effectively just like going to the ATM, but it would be one less step for customers who no longer carry much cash. Overall, based on this one experience, Arizona has some catch up to do in order to be a fully integrated legal state.
