Nirvana Center - Sault Ste. Marie — Attraction in Sault Ste. Marie

(See bottom for update from 5/5/23 visit)

I went in for the first time a couple weeks ago. Initial reaction includes clean layout, clean interior, display cases are well lit and offer ability to smell and look with magnification, staff was absolutely wonderful and knowledgeable.

They have a very large selection of products from flower, edibles, topical, I would say they have every base covered. They carry MKX 200mg gummies - In my opinion (and my wife's) these are hands down the best on the market. They really pack a super punch - exercise caution when injecting lol. We both would swear up and down about MKX products - top of the line!

Staff was all friendly and polite. Very helpful! It was busy but I never felt rushed or pressured with my time or wallet. Prices were good, and range of prices is pretty good too. Plenty of deals to be had.

Make sure to sign up for their loyalty program too. I don't recall the exact specifics but when I stop in today I will try to remember to ask about it again and update here. Or I might go in, ask, get home, enjoy some of the MKX gummies during the football game and forget to update this (potentially forever). Oh I may add pictures also but again read my previous sentence.

Tl:DR - Great store! Great products and choices! Staff is wonderful! Happy to be stopping back in today!

EDIT: Had the pleasure to stop in on 5/5/23 while Rock 101.3 was there for their Grand Opening event. Everything was exceptional as always. It is great to see Rock 101.3 doing what they do helping to promote local businesses and it's always a pleasure to see them out and about. Nirvana had a refreshment table set up with snacks and drinks along with freebies like papers and grinders (btw the papers are pretty good - they burn evenly, roll good, and don't hamper the taste of the cannabis imo). There was a frisbee toss to win a free preroll for everyone who stopped in which was fun.

Jessica was my budtender and was great! Very friendly, answered all my questions, made good suggestions (MKX will always be my go to brand for gummies and vape carts but the Monster Medibles she recommended are banging and I will definately buy them again), and I left very pleased again (as usual).

They carry the Green Gruff Dog CBD chews which I swear by. We have been getting these for our 80 pound older fur child and they bring her puppy back! She has a hard time getting around sometimes and these definately make it easier on her. She is going on walks again too. As far as dosing I usually give her 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening but for her size and discomfort level I have given her 3 at once a few times and they didn't knock her out - quite the opposite lol. She was bouncing around like a spring.

Next time I swing up there I am going to bring her to the door to say hello. (See attached picture of hambone (I mean dog lol) on her couch doing what she does best)

ANOTHER EDIT (12-13-24): Today's visit was great as usual. This is the ONLY place I go in town. Everyone is always so friendly and the selection is always great. The deli selection has some real good deals and great cannabis.

HEY STEVANA! Great shopping experience as usual 😆. Always great...

First off I want to start by saying adrian, kevin, jake, justin, stevana, dakota, kendra, cass, and jess have all been amazing and friendly and it sucks to have to write a negative review about nirvana. But how i was treated tonight is not ok. I called while on my way to the store because due to bad weather i felt i may miss closing time by just a few minutes (i made it on time) the lady who i spoke with rudely said "we cant sell past 9pm" so i said back that that was fine, but asked if there was some legal issue there, as im always curious about cannabis law. To which she raised her voice and dismissively/rudely said "because we close at 9!!" When I got to the store I asked to speak to dakota or kenda and was told they are not there. And defaulted to a manger ive never seen before. While i was explaining to him what happened a young blonde budtender (that i also have never seen before) interrupted me and said "she was not being rude!" When she infact was. The other manager sort of apologized for them but walked away. That same budtender then tried to tell me "thats just how she sounds on the phone" dismissing that she was being snotty, and then tried to overcharge me for my purchase. I love nirvana and would happily take this review down if a real apology was offered. But this is no way to...

Kendra, who was wonderful, took care of me and I appreciated her professional and sincere attention to me. She made sure I received the applicable discount on my purchase, and was pleasant throughout our transaction. That said, Megan came to the lobby and saw me and said "someone else can deal with her" and then waved her hand at me, as though my money isn't as good as someone else's. Of course she couldn't calmly state that she wouldn't help me. I was in the process of standing as the door opened, as I was next, so she assumed I was going to insist on help (I wasn't) she went on to say "someone else can deal with you." The last time I checked, Megan is the one who's incapable of dealing with her personal issues with me at her place of employment and conducting herself in a professional and adult manner. I believe that means she's the one who needs "dealing with" and by someone in a position of authority with her company. It was a bad look for her, but that seems to be...
