All About Cannabinoids

June 8, 2017 by Foster Buds

Get to Know Your Cannabinoids

    "I just went here for the first time and first time ever in a dispensary. They were professional, well informed and very nice! I had a very specific need for 100% CBD in coconut oil, no hint of thc and they had it. I have found it to be a great help for my anxiety and panic disorder. I was treated respectfully and shown other CBD products with no thc. Very cool. Thanks for anxiety help ya'll."

They have specials every week they'll let you explore the weed, fun discounts and games, awesome music playing, and smiling faces that remember your name and care to remember what you like. Seriously, best weed shop in Portland."
