(I am not affiliated with Dazed in any way shape or form) As a part of my job I have travelled to cannabis dispensaries across the entire country. I have been to countless dispensaries in 8 states. I've also been inside of probably 20 cannabis cultivation facilities in just about as many states. I've been in this industry watching it change and grow for over 15 years now. I'm saying this because sometimes things stand out or make an impression. I feel as though right now Holyoke, MA is making an imprint on cannabis in the untied states. Holyoksterdam is in full effect. Now look. I have been to countless different dispensary locations in MA alone. Most all dispos give a similar vibe. Some have started t break free from this very stale experience and offer something more hip/cool/chill vibe. Some have tried to get closer to what would be an old school head shop vibe. I can't really say I have been to many dispos out of all the dispos I have ever been to that have really gotten it Right! There is one place I went to in Colorado that stand out. They kinda have different laws and kinda gave me 'VIP' treatment. They didn't know who I was but someone picked up on something and broke out a special stash for me in the end. My point is that most places you are gonna go to -you are not gonna get anything at all in terms of experience.Well, this is my experience anyway. 99.9% of disposing you go to are a complete and total snooze fest. zzzz. Dazed in Holyoke is setting the bar for experience hands down. In the whole country folks! not just lil' paper city. I went inside and head the loud music and I thought I they were gonna hang me my herb thought the window like and ol school CA disco and I was gonna leave. Nope. She opened up the door and this is the first step to what cannabis dreams are made of. Im almost done. The inside of this disco is hands down bar none the best job of creating a themed experience in legal cannabis yet. Full stop. Now look. I can criticize them. I have not been there till today. That's on them. They have some work to do. I should not have taken this long to come to their disposal. They have not done in my opinion enough on their offerings. (p.s. Im happy to help) What I am saying is that I can easily choose any number of other places around town and I have been (again, mostly because they have some different offerings and what I have found up until today more options that we filling my particular needs) Today I went to grab something to do some Quality Assurance on a particular product. (the product was killer) In closing. I hope they can continue to improve and broaden their menu and offerings to compete with some of the other disposable around town that might draw more foot traffic. But yo! anyone out there read this or just the end. DAZED is legit and worth the experience. Its worth going out of the way or just down the end of the block to go to this place. If ur looking for a disco in Holyoke it should be Dazed all day and Dazed...
Read moreYadira is awesome! The very first time I walked in wity service dog she was reaching out to me offering her friendly smile, and greeting " Hi Mama!"! I have driven to this dispensary since I discovered it! They always seem to have what I need or what will help me. Yadira is always ready to offer suggestions, explain how things feel, she takes her time with me explaining the Dazed products and the other products that are being sold. How things work, what I would need to do or how to take a purchase correctly. She's very thorough and making sure you know what you are getting and doing! Everyone there is smiling and it's like a group of your friends here, good music, good smells of what is to come; and couches to rest from the 3 hr drive. I come to Dazed from Ct. I don't go anywhere else. The budtenders are great, please leave them a few bucks for their assistance😊🤑. I have always left with exactly what works best for me. I explain to the tenders what I need & why. Yadira immediately asked afew ? then popped a purple bag on the counter explaining what it was and how it would help. It has always been a positive each time I've been here. I'll keep making the 3hr drive! 😊 I appreciate all of you and...
Read moreThis was my first visit. That being said...
The only thing that attracted me to this place were the online photos. When I got there, from the outside, the place looks very large. Like a warehouse/club. The music was booming & there's nobody at the door checking I.D.'s. Upon entering, in addition to the pounding music, you notice that the place is very dimly-lit with a few neon, pink lights.
The atmosphere is more like a club than a dispensary that has any interest in selling anything.
The salesperson (trainee) I happened upon had absolutely no knowledge of the hash-infused gummies I inquired about and that left me with ZERO confidence in this establishment.
They didn't have products/flower on display in a case, anywhere.
Again, the salespeople didn't seem very interested in selling & I just left.
This place is NOT worth the trip...
