Awwww yea, Sunflower....
These folks are super nice, great location (first time can be kinda tricky, its the little side road next to the Circle K) and the quality is definitely there. Also, a nice variety of CBD strains for patients that prefer them, and some nice looking concentrates as well.
and for me, best off they are 5 minutes from the house. Score.

I've been going around from place to place coupons in hand or following text messages, and after a while it was just hard to find a spot that was consistent in quality. I'm not super picky when it comes to meds, but over time i have found what works for my needs, and i have to say that TruMed has it down every time. In this town, you get what you pay for and I have never been disappointed with what i went home with.

Since i have acquired my MMJ card earlier this summer, i have gone on quite a few adventures all over Phoenix thanks to new patient specials, coupons, etc. Needles to say now that PARC is open, i am done with that.
Location is super easy to find from anywhere in the valley. Waiting room is very clean and professional. Staff is very nice and really makes the time to talk to new patients which does benefit them (how did you hear about us?, etc) and starts to build a positive relationship with patients for the future. I do really like the menu boards set up in the lobby, gives you a little reminder what is available while your waiting, and not just a bunch of mmj magazines and old esquires that had a article couple months ago about pot.
Went back to the budtenders tables and got a good look at whats what.
Really nice selection. Wide range for a new dispensary, and the budtender went thru everything for me(current promotions, first time visit) and asked me for a few questions about what i normally medicate with, etc. not just "so what are you looking for today"? or "how bout' this heat, huh?"
So, down to business. I have only found one other place in town that has Trinity Blueberry (not naming names), and they are a solid dispensary. That being said, finding a 1/8th for $45 is a great find. Early on, I figured out that Blueberry strains work great for me so i was definitely happy to see it somewhere else. So, of course i grabbed that and I decided to grab that second 1/8th for 25% off and went with the Blueberry Diesel. And don't forget the free pre-roll of a house blend for my first visit .
They use the standard sealed pouches which is fine with me. Some people complain about the pouches cause they can squish the buds. So what? aren't you gonna break it all up anyway? Plastic containers are good for pre-rolls, but any larger than that my stuff always gets super dried out(The cost of living in the desert). We even had a nice chat about humidor disks for your jars at home.
All together, under $90 for a quarter ounce of 2 different strains, a pre-roll and of course the leafly card to give a review for another pre-roll. done and done. out the door.
Got home, sat down on the couch and cracked open the Trinity Blueberry to shift into my jar. When my wife who doesn't smoke exclaims when i open the pouch, "Holy Crap! That one is StInKy!" i know i picked a winner. she was totally right. Its definitely a two-hitter for me. I have a pretty high tolerance but i can take about 2-3 tokes and not even have to think about reaching for my bowl for a while.
Later i did try a little bit of the Blueberry Diesel. (I do tend to keep my strains in separate containers) and i was really impressed. Great flavor smelled better than the sample jar did at the shop, and again really did the trick in 3.
My only constructive criticism would be your online presence. I do know that leafly is modded, meaning you cant make changes yourselves but i would suggest using the updates here as much as possible.
Also, (and this is just me being anal and o.c.d.) your pics of the medicine for the menu boards looks like it was Photoshopped by a 5 yr old. I'm not a fancy-pants photographer but i would be happy to volunteer for new pics. I work cheap. Hee-hee
Herbal Wellness Center - West (Med/Rec)

first time visit. nice shop, very clean and professional staff. easy to find. i live in S. Phoenix, but the deals are worth the extra 10 min drive.
grabbed a 1/2 oz. of the blue OG and a 1/2 oz. of the Magic Kush. figured with such a good deal i'd stock up for a bit, save myself some extra trips and gas.
Blue OG: eh. its okay. alot of bang for your buck. its a bit of a creeper, and yes it does crackle a bit when you first start burning it, but its all good. got a good taste, not a real heavy high, but does the trick.
Magic Kush: way better. buds are a little squishy but thats okay. tastes good, burns evenly and definitely will do the trick for what ails ya.
also, got a free gram and picked up a couple pre-rolls. had a minor mix-up, and came home with a empty pre-roll tube. no worries. called them up, he felt sincerely bad about the mix-up and credited my account for the next time i come back. no worries. we're all humans, right?
overall, nice experience, and its hopeful to see more state licensed shops that are doing it right. definitely be back.
Story Cannabis - McDowell Rd

First time visit. Super easy to find. right off the I-17/McDowell.
The facility is very clean and warm. Classy atmosphere without looking like Pier 1 threw up on it.
Very nice selection of medicine. Prices are comparable with other facilities and of course the strain of the week is a plus.
showed up for patient appreciation Thursday, and bought up some of the Double Dream (super nice btw), and closed my eyes and stuck my hand in a little box. came out with a card for a free grinder. eh. already got one at home. so, traded it out for a nice little glass piece, checked out and was on my way home. maybe next time i'll get that green one. heh.
overall, definitely will be stopping back in.
also, don't forget your coupon for next time. :)

stopped in back when the 1/2 oz of tootsie roll was on sale.(sorry for the late review) first time, very impressed. quality meds. Tootsie Roll really helped me sleep and nausea issues that i have. can't wait to see more from them. keep an eye on Facebook for them too. very active, always posting their specials and informative articles about medical marijuana.
