Uncle Ike's - Central District
12/30/2015
I was a little nervous when I set out to make my first ever pot purchase, my only prior experience having been occasional hits from friends and a couple brownies.
But my time at Ike's was actually pretty awesome! It was a little intimidating at first, but I just told the budtender that I wanted an edible, didn't want to feel sleepy, and that I was a total noob and probably on the low-tolerance end of things. They recommended I start with something simple like a brownie, and explained everything I needed to know about edibles and how to figure out my tolerance. Super easy, and they didn't seem at all annoyed by my stupid questions.
I've gone back a few times, and have never had a bad experience. I've never seen it as busy as a lot of people say it gets, and I've never felt rushed... guess I'm either lucky or have great timing? Maybe call in and ask what their slow times are if you want a more relaxed atmosphere. I've heard that it's super slow when they open at 8, but haven't had a chance to check it myself.
Nicole has been my budtender a couple times now. She has a lot of love for products that are more naturally processed, and can help you out if that's a concern of yours.
