Parlour Cannabis Shoppe
5/30/2017
I haven’t set foot in a lot of pot shops.
If you have never visited the little strip mall area before you might be confused about the shop’s location like I was at first.
On the corner is the West Coast Drinkery, go around the corner and past the picnic tables and you should find yourself in front of the doors to Parlour.
Available parking is adequate and it is relatively easy to get in and out.
When you walk inside someone will ask you for your ID, so be sure to bring it and ready to pull it out. Also, this place only accepts cash, but they do have an ATM available.
Personally, the high THC stuff doesn't appeal to me that much. I'm more interested in a high CBD and a low THC.
On hand they have:
- Syrup infused with differing ratios of THC to CBD.
- Oil and alcohol infused with cannabis.
- Edibles.
- Bath salts.
- Sublingual spay.
- Pills / capsules.
Personally, I am not comfortable with the idea of smoking or vaping and it's not practical for me. Using a tincture appeals to me because it is discreet and the dosage is more precise in my opinion.
The oil based tincture that I bought cost me $82, which is admittedly a bit pricey until factoring in the bottle contains 120 doses which if taken once a day, every day should last you for about 4 months (a dose = 2ml, bottle contains 240 ml).
Overall, I thought the service was excellent. The staff were able to answer my questions and willing to share and talk about their own experiences with using cannabis and / or using the products offered at the store.
I will definitely keep this shop in mind for any future purchases, but I also don't think it would hurt to see what else is out there. From skimming the menus of several other shops in the PDX area, I have the sense that the vast majority of shops offer a range of products that cater to people looking to get high and others who are seeking to address medical issues, but only a select few shops may carry a specific strain or product you have your heart set on.
Depending on how I feel about the effectiveness of the tincture I bought, I may opt to buy something with more THC for purposes of comparison or buy some flowers to make my own tinctures.
