Boy, zoning restrictions have made for weird dispensary locations in Tucson. Nonetheless, Earth's Healing had taken all security precautions with steel walls, a building that's spitting distance from the PCSD, and, supposedly (though I haven't ever seen a gun there), 24/7 armed security guards. Security aside, this is one of the friendliest and most knowledgeable staffs I've yet encountered as an MMJ patient. Walk though the front door (that's right, siblings; NO buzzers to walk inside) and into a lovely waiting area. A smiling face greets you from a banker's window (just a preview- there are lots of warm smiles awaiting!). Paperwork is the minimal standard and soon you're escorted to to a room with display cases; meds and staff to the front and right, a variety of glasswork to the left. Atop each case, lots of great information about strains (THC/CBDs/CBNs) and the medical uses for each. One VERY important thing, as a patient; strains are consistently available. There's nothing more frustrating than finding a strain that's good for what ails ya, then, POOF, it's gone. Earth's Healing provides it's own supply chain, so great strains, like LA Confidential, will be waiting for you. Growing your own also means a LOT of potential for quality control. Another plus, Earth's Healing has stated that one of their goals is to keep prices reasonable for patients. Price breaks at 1/8 and 1/4 are pretty good for their "Tier 2" medications though "Tier 1" meds still run close to old street values. As someone on full disability, I tend to shop the specials offered online and through Tucson Weekly. As a cost-effective measure, I also recommend the icewater hash. Made from Sour Diesel, it packs quite a punch and, used judiciously, lasts a good long time. Earth's Healing is, as far as I know, only the second Tucson dispensary offering edibles- a BIG plus for non-smokers. According to staff, a proprietary kitchen is in the works. For now, edibles come from another dispensary. When my companion chose another edible, the staff quickly recommended a brownie as an stronger alternative. My companion couldn't stop smiling for the next several hours. I was steered toward the LA Confidential. It was great for mitigating the cramping and nausea I endure during dialysis. All in all, I was grateful for the knowledgeable staff, competitive pricing (competitive vis a vie other dispensaries, but not cheap), I will be telling friends; Earth's Healing is worth the trip south. Just pretend Benson Hwy is our own Route 66.
