There's a lot to be said about first impressions, and that you don't get a 2nd chance to create them.

We have a sick Chihuahua and a good friend suggested I look into CBD products to relieve pain and help other maladies. This place wasn't far from home, so I figured 'why not?' and decided to visit the shop. Overall, it had a good layout - once you get past the dark, sleazy entrance - and everything was fairly easy to see. The help, however, did a horrible job of providing assistance, and treated me like I was bothering him or infringing on valuable time needed to assist other customers, even snapping at me when I asked about the availability of CBD products for our small dog, which they were out of. He was rude and impatient when he replied "I DON'T KNOW WHEN WE WILL GET THEM! Pfft .. just take the large ones and break them up!" and walked off to 'help' someone else.

He returned a few minutes later with the same attitude and the same level of impatience if not more and said "DO YOU WANT ANYTHING?" to which I replied "No Thanks" and left the premises.

I was there less than 10 minutes.

I wasn't even willing to give these people my business. Some of their glass that was clearly made by a machine they wanted upwards of $1,600 for something rather simple for a machine to make. Then I go over to look at some of the glassware and the prices just don't make sense. I can get an 18 inch bong for 70 bucks, a 12-in for 50, or a selection of bowls for $20. The price to the level of glass used and quality is hugely disproportionate. Not to mention it's rather shady business practice to have the cost hidden until someone shows interest. None of their prices are up front they are all underneath the pieces themselves. With a lack of clear pricing and tremendously disproportionate pricing on all of their items I can't in good faith give my business to this company.

If you're really going to tell me that the difference between these two pieces I've attached photos of should be more than $1,500 you have some serious price problems you might want...
