NETA - Northampton (Rec)
10/18/2015
WOW! So worth the trip! I traveled nearly 2 hours to "In Good Health" in Brockton only to find a closed sign. ARGH! They advertised being open 'til 3:00pm then ignorantly closed at 1:00. As I was letting off steam, more potential shoppers pulled in behind me. Thankfully, this very sweet and helpful woman gave me the name and number to NETA! (really wish I got her name and hope to run into her again so I can give her a big hug!) Talk about a blessing in disguise!Luckily for me, my nephew was up for the ride and off to N. Hampton we went (we're from Cape Ann). Nearly 3 hours later, I arrived at the happiest place in MA. Spacious, relaxing atmosphere with display cases full of most of what us patients need. The staff was as knowledgeable as they were friendly. Fresh, modern, eco-friendly environment with very comfortable lounge areas. The menu was what I have been expecting and waiting for. FINALLY!! For those of us that are truly in it for the medicinal components, you need to go there. I am on a lot of meds and need a company I can rely on to provide me with the medications I need as my doctors/psychiatrist wean me off of meds. Unfortunately, they had sold out of the topicals, BUT they had edibles, oils, wax (another learning experience) and many flowers to chose from. No limited quantity. Excellent quality! (Dry but nothing a small piece of orange peel can't fix). Kate was so patient answering my questions and helping me to chose which form of THC/CBD, etc. that best fit my mental and physical needs from morning 'til bedtime. I was in a lot of pain by the time I got home. (I have a spinal injury from an auto accident and having been living with depression and anxiety my whole life.) It was a very long day and an adventurous ride, to say the least. But at the end of the day, I enjoyed sampling my purchases and went to bed with no pain and slept for a solid 7 hours. YEAH! The cindy dom and wax (moonshine haze) combo is what finally eliminated the last of my pain and put me in dream land! Thanks for the tip, Kate!
Even with the distance, I will happily travel to the other side of the state again. Fall is the best time of year to take a road trip in New England. Julie, (hope I got the name right), you were spot on when you said over the phone..."we're worth the trip! Thank you for being open 7 days a week 'til 7:00pm. No appointments necessary. Isn't that how all medicinal businesses should be?
