Flanders smoke shop — Local services in East Lyme

As a concerned parent and member of this community, I feel deeply disturbed by what I’ve witnessed at this establishment. On both occasions I’ve visited, the man at the register appeared visibly high and behaved in a manner that was far from professional. Even more alarming, he openly admitted to selling to students from the nearby high school, something he seemed to have no shame in disclosing.

The best smoke shop in town! Wide variety of vape disposables, rolling papers, kratom, wraps, grinders and glass pieces. Very nice staff, clean and welcoming. It’s been my go to shop since they opened. I drive 20 mins to go there almost every other day, for the prices and their customers service, always top notch service. Recommended to y’all out there in that area of CT. Best prices I've ever seen. Thank you Moe, you’re doing a great job, keep it up!...

Such an absurdly bad experience!! I’ve never had a bad experience in a smoke shop, yet I’ve had two awful experiences here. The first time I went the guy at the counter was out of his mind high (not on weed) and was upset when my I tried to purchase something. The second time I went a different man was screaming on his phone the entire time I was in the shop. Two tremendously bad experiences and I will never...
