This Buckman neighborhood hobbit hole has no available parking at all hours every day. That hasn't stopped everyone from baristas to CEOs from frequenting the place, mostly just before dinner on Fridays and Saturdays. The more active, sativa-dominant strains are popular here, with most customers buying a couple grams every few days. Botanica's Foster-Powell location has the same product lineup, and customers in that neighborhood tend to buy more of the same strain at once. Bring cash and be sure to try anything from house-grown Vita Organics—you'll get the best value for your money.
