Hey steemians,
A brand new cannabis dispensary opened down my street, so I decided to pay it a visit and share my experience!
It's called Bloom (Everett, WA) and I gotta say it looks pretty smooth from the outside (obviously not thanks to the Washington weather)!

As soon as you walk in, you're welcomed with a smile and I was instantly helped by one of their friendly budtenders. She told me that they have plenty of exclusive strains, mainly thanks to the owner having great connections. They have a decent amount of options when it comes to flower, concentrates and CBD products but more importantly, I gotta say they clearly prioritize quality over quantity!
I discovered plenty of new brands that have a long history in growing medical strains and that have now started growing for recreational use. Since the cannabis market is currently booming over here, they are forced to keep their prices interesting too, which was even better!
Another advantage is that they use a rewards program: For every purchase you make, you receive X amount of points, which you can then use to get discounts on future purchases. Many dispensaries have started using this system in my area, and it's a very nice little bonus for us consumers.
And since this is 2018 and we live in digital age, you can also order your favorite products online and have them ready for pickup. What a time to be alive!
I can only conclude that Everett gained another great dispensary and I'll definitely be back for their grand opening weekend (20% off on everything!). I ended up buying a couple flowers for now and will be sharing my experiences with you guys, so hit the follow-button if you wanna hear about some of these new strains!
Take care and stay safe!
