Silver Stem

Expect a record to be playing in the budroom, which is stocked with a solid collection of vinyl. I even spotted The Dark Side of the Moon. This small, intimate space is perfect for being friendly and chatting with the budtenders. The first strains to get to know are the award-winning Blackberry Kush and the high-CBD darling Pennywise, both from High Winds Farms. I high-stepped out of the place with a gram of Golden Goat from Green Cross Specialties, already pondering my next visit.
