Sanctuary - Danvers

I purchased a quarter ounce at one hundred dollars (2x 50 dollar 1/8ths) but only had to pay 50 because this facility does the same “first time” discount that all facilities do. That is – they give you 50 dollars off your first four purchases of over 100 dollars. This deal is standard amongst competition. The pricing for their flower outside of the sale would be on the high side.
Here is where the problem lies; upon grinding the flower I purchased (Lemon Meringue) I discovered spider mite webs. Further inspection showed that more than half of the buds had significant mite webs in them. I called the facility immediately when I made this discovery, but at this point I had already smoked a portion of it. Yes – that means I was smoking bug remnants.
When I spoke to the manager, I was asked to send in a picture and give them the batch number so they could pull the flower from the shelves. They also asked me to bring the buds back for them to inspect themselves.
When I brought the flower back and showed them the buds, they saw the webs, and I was compensated with another quarter oz – as if I want more flower from them at this point. Reluctantly I took the replacement bud because I don't have the money to throw away and I need my cannabis.
Then, this is the best part; they offered me a free hat as a gift for all of this. So as a gift to compensate me for my time, money, and health (*remember, I smoked bugs & their webs!*) they wanted to give me something to wear around advertising for them. How about some extra store credit – not that I’m sure I would even want to use it.
Just go to Mission, or better yet try supporting a small dispensary like Bewell where they put their patient/customers' health and wellbeing before gross profit margins.
