This place always has bomb clones but not great bu
I have been to this place sevral times for clones and only had one bad experiance but it was made right as soon as i let them know. The strains {clones} that I got were great cuts of OG kusk , lemon widow , blue dream , sour grapes , odesey kush, grape goo and many others i cant think right now but ya its ok i dont really go to often anymore though.
THANX BUT NO THANX
Check in was very easy and quick the first time and got longer which each visit. The female at the front is a little rude to say the least and the last time I stopped by I had to wait 23 minutes before leaving to find a different place. The two people in front of me stated they have been waiting a little longer then me and were still there when I stormed out all pissed off and shit. I would not be so unkind except for the fact that we heard everything that was being said in the bud room and the whole time was talking about shit that had nothing to do with what the patient had already bought. The receptionist did let the old man know there was a line and he stated very clearly "Let them wait". Seriously??? Will not go back again as they are hardly ever open the selection is not that vast. They do have a big line of hemp clothing though.
What's really going on?
Even after reading the reviews, I still gave this place a chance. Pretty much experienced the same, non-compassionate care described below.
I can't believe my ears
All I can say about this place is WOW!! Not because its awesome, because I have never been to a dispensery this sad, or funny, or I don't know how to describe it except as a joke, a very bad joke. Me and my friend Militia were hanging out on a Saturday and decided to go check out a spot we had never been, so we chose PB 420. I had a buddy tell me he went there before, so the adventure began. Parking for this place is a nightmare, we had to park across the street at Weinerschnitzel, which wasn't too bad because I got to get a delicious rootbeer float. Anyways, once upstairs we were standing in the waiting room for about ten minutes, checking out there out dated Seedless clothes, over sized posters of Cheech and Chong, and still wondering why nobody has come to greet or verify us. I finally knocked on a door and a chick came out, she was friendly and apologized for the wait. Once verified, we went into the bud room and the guy behind the counter just kind of sat there for a minute, like he didn't even care he had customers. We were the only people there and this old guy was in outer space!
While in the bud room I noticed they were under construction and asked the old man what was up and he said they were making room for clones and moms, so patients could start up there own garden and grow there own medicine. And that's great because the meds they carried in this place were mediocre at best. A few of the strains they had were leafy, and unappealing, it looked like they suffered from heat stress. A couple of the better strains that looked smokable were there Sour Diesel and Cheese, which reminded me of some Blue Cheese from back home in Indy, so I got an eight to test out. It had a great smell, but not much of a high. Another strain they had was the "Larry".
I asked the old man if I could see the Larry. It looked kind of fluffy and had many orange hairs, which I wasn't used to seeing on a OG. So I asked the old burned out roadie, "Is the Larry an OG?" and he replied back "What's OG?" and I was thrown back. You own a collective and live in San Diego and don't know what an OG is, give me a fucking break!! My grandmother who doesn't even smoke weed knows what an OG is!! It gets better--- the old man puts the bud in his hand and says "You see that green here, that there's the indica and all these red hairs, that's the sativa. So this bud here looks like a hybrid to me." I couldn't believe my ears!! Ok, at this point me and my friend looked at each other in awe! Was this guy for real, or did we step into the twilight zone? I was waiting for a Hollywood crew to come out and say were part of a bad joke and smile your on Candid Camera! But it didn't happen. I consider myself old school, and have seen alot of shit, but I have never seen anybody give me a lesson on chronic like the one I received from the old man. I was blown away by his lack of knowledge and his overall vibe.
Needless, to say I will never go back to this place again!!! There is no need for places like this to exist, except for comedy value. The meds and the staff were horrible. I don't see how they stay in business. This place is a joke!!
Collective or Apparel Shop?
This whole place is COVERED from head to toe in merchandise.... even the staff
For one... the girl at the front desk was monotone, rude, and HAD TO BE on something. she seemed like she was trippin!
Once we get into the bud room... even without being verified!
the owner (im assuming) was rude, cut us off everytime we started talking and completely wasted our time (as vendors)
Dont tell me you wanna check stuff out... well knowing its a concentrate. and then have us drive about 2 hours to get there and have you tell us "you dont accept concentrates"
WHAT A CROCK OF SHIT!
This place had VERY few meds... finger hash (which is just unsanitary) and just a BUNCH of shirts and merchandise.
It LOOKED like a really cool place.
Turned out to be one just out for the money and clearly not about the patient or medicine!
More Meds Less T-shirts please
Good meds at a great price but the old staff was nicer and more polite.
Best Grand Daddy Purp I have ever had!!
If your looking for the best purp you have ever seen checkout their collection!! I was amazed when they opened the jar and the smell took over the room. You might want to bring your own jar bc it smelt up my car on the way home. ENJOY!!
A Great Place To Go!!!
I have been to PB 420 a number of Times. everytime I go I am met by a very friendly and helpful staff. I have noticed a few bad reviews but everyone is entitled to there own opinions. I found that on most occasions there has been a decent variety of Meds to choose from. Very convienient to get in and out of in a decent amount of time. I live in North County Coastal area so it is a little bit of a hassle to get to but I try to plan my visits when I am in the Area. The Prices are reasonable and the more you Buy the Better the Deal. Chuck and Andie have always treated me with care and respect. Keep up the good work!!!!
Open on and after the 4th
Alot of places were closed on the monday after the fourth, but it was a relief to know PB420 was open. It was kinda hard to get in, but I found out they have a parking lot under the building. The cute redhead up front said they were open on the 4th too. She verified me pretty quick but I had to wait a few minutes because they have a one at a time policy, she hit me up with new issues of Nug and Kush while I waited. It was worth the wait, I will definitely be coming back... Cheese, the head honcho hooked me up. The prices are reasonable, the medication they offer is of varying strengths, but that Cinderella 99 hit the spot for me. Its worth checking out, I don't know what the beef is with other people, I had a good experience.
Not sure where everyone is coming from....
I actually had a nice experience at PB420. When I went they had over 20 different strains. The check in process didn't take long, and the receptionist was nice. The budtender was nice and she helped me with some good recommendations. I ended up getting a fire og kush and a smelly crystally sativa. Wasn't too pricey, and they had a range of stuff. I will definitely be going back.
sorry
all I have to say about this place is its sorry
Don't waste your time
Nothing Special. Nothing you cant see at any of the others in PB. They have just OK medication with just OK prices. Sorry Chuckey i like you man.... But the chick you have working the front with the lame Orange John Lennon glasses needs a major attitude adjustment.
Hmmm
There buds were mediocre at best. There was some random guy that kept trying to start conversation that just hung out there. He seemed intoxicated, not medicated and he just creeped the whole time. If you want people to come back, you can't have your friends chilling there, creepin on all the patients.
Cheech & Chong shop with a few strains
Decided to visit this place to actually pick up a Cheech and Chong gift! The check in process is the same as others and the staff was polite and friendly. Checked out their bud selection real quick and only had about 8 strains there and only two were OK. I did not donate on their medicine but I did get a few Cheech and Chong memorabilias for a friend. Get some more quality meds guys!!
Nice Threads, Bunk Meds
I have definitely stayed away from this place because of all the negative reviews. It's funny, I feel as if I've already been to PB420 without actually having to go. The reason behind my visit, believe it or not, was to get a sick shirt for the Bob Fest..lol..and at the same time, check out their meds.
Upon entering I was greeted by a friendly girl working the front who made some small talk while I filled out the necessary paperwork and waited for my turn. I noticed some seedless gear they were selling on the other end of the room and had a looksy. I had no idea that this was only a mere sample of the clothing and merchandise they offer. When I walked into the nug room, I was first shocked at the shear size of the place..complete with clone room, 2 huge clothing racks busting with shirts and sweaters, and the longest bar I've ever seen (where the BT's stand behind). That's where I met Chuck aka Cheese the BT, who seemed a little out of it at the time (in his own little world). He was an older guy and was having some trouble hearing and answering my questions...I really thought the guy was drunk or something until he pointed to an empty medical soda he had been swigging on. After realizing this, I cut Cheese some slack and let him do his thing...he actually turned out to be a cool guy.
After scoping out the selection, I must say I was very unimpressed. They only had 1 indica out of like 13-14 strains and they were all lacking in luster. I didn't want to leave without trying something so I went with an gram of their Goo, which was surprisingly decent for 20/50. The Goo had a plethora of gooey trichs and a smell that told my brain: GET THIS! Cheese ended up giving me the gram for $15, which is nice (I'm thinking this was my first time freebie).
After making my med donation, it was on to the thread donation. I ended up finding a tight sweater and a shirt for the Fest!! and Cheese hooked it up. He gave me like $15 off the sweater and $5 off the shirt. At least I know where to go now for some fresh gear!
After further inspection of the Goo, I found it to be lacking in potency and taste. The high was very weak for an indica and I almost feel this strain is a sativa dominate hybrid of some sort. The taste was awful, I couldn't taste much more than some spicy-peppery notes that came through on the exhale..plus it was harsh on the throat and lungs. What a beautiful looking strain though. If the taste was there and the high was stronger/longer, then I would probably be back to see my old pal Cheese again. Unfortunately, unless I'm looking for some new seedless shirts, I will have to pass.
