Curaleaf - Peoria

First of all....you haters need stop hatin. I’m tired of reading bad reviews, because you didn’t get a free pre-roll or your wax wasn’t crispy enough. In fact, most of the reviews on Leafly are just plain garbage. They are either 5 stars because someone got some free shit to rate it that way, or 1 star because someone is crying about not getting some free shit. I’m not one who typically writes reviews, but I decided to in this case. I did so on the off chance it may be helpful to someone like me, someone who just wants to know if you can count on the quality.
I’ve been to dispensaries in Colorado, but never in Arizona. This was my first dispensary trip, so I didn’t really have any expectations. What I do know is this; I have spent a lot of time in Humboldt County, I had my medical card in Denver (back when you needed one), I’ve grown top-tier buds and I was smokin $400 ounces 20 years ago. I feel comfortable saying I know my way around the dank, and that I have smoked some of the best in the world.
I decided to try Bloom because I was in the area, they were advertising $185 ounces and they were one of the few offering some of my favorite classic strains. I have tried almost all of the new hotness, but few are on the level with the original heavyweights. One of my particular favorites, when grown properly, is Northern Lights. I was a definitely skeptical about receiving the quality I desired, especially at such a low price. Some of the reviews even mentioned bad quality, and getting what you pay for.
Here is what I found; I went in right around 10:00 and there was basically no wait, being a first time customer I was still with a budtender in under 10 minutes, the facility was clean and modern, everything was well organized, the staff was friendly and courteous, they had a wide selection and most importantly....the buds were on par with every top-tier, dispensary grade, kind buds I have ever smoked. I purchased Northern Lights, and Jack Herer. I have smoked the real thing many times, and I can say these guys did a pretty good job.
At check out, the cashier noticed I was eligible for some discounts that the budtender had missed. He saved me another $20, and got me a free 1G pre-roll of some White Buffalo. I spent $240 and walked outta there with an Oz of chronic, a disposable KIND vape pen and 1G pre-roll. Like I said, I have often spent twice that for just 1 Oz and most dispensaries are charging 40-50% more than that for the same quality.
All of that said, I think there is more than enough reason for anyone to give this place a try. It’s not very often that I am in that part of town, but....you can bet any time I am, I will stop and say hello to the folks at Bloom.
Thanks for a great first AZ dispensary experience.
