MY FAVORITE DISPENSARY

Whether You Are Looking for a Location With Easy Access or Just High 
Quality Product at a Good Price, the Green Halo Doesn't Disappoint.

My first experience at a dispensary was based on location.

When I received my green card in the mail, I asked my phone to locate 
the closest dispensary. The Green Halo came up and was less than five 
miles away.

Located near the I-10 at 7710 S. Wilmot Road, The Green Halo offers 
easy access even if it is not close to you.

Location may be a good reason to go somewhere, but with medicine 
there are definitely more important factors.

If you are like me, you like to try other dispensaries. Many 
locations have offers or gifts for first-time customers, a great 
reason to try new locations. The Green Halo offers a free gram of the 
flower of your choice on your first visit.

The Green Halo has daily specials (which is common with 
dispensaries), with Ten-Dollar Tuesdays (all flower $10/gram) and 
Shatterday (all shatter, wax etc. $40/ gram) rivaling the best prices in town.

The quality of medicine is more important than price to some. I have 
found their strains to be as good as or better than any I have tried. 
I have been to other dispensaries that may have more strains to 
choose from, but not one that has more high-quality strains. Green 
Halo offers a variety of strains in THC content and THC to CBD 
ratios. Their daily menu handouts show test results for most of their products.

Unlike other dispensaries I've been to, Green Halo sells pre-packaged 
flowers. This may not be everyone's preference, but I prefer it 
because it seems fresher. I have visited dispensaries that had 
dried=out weed. But one negative of the pre-package is that sometimes 
they may be out of a certain weight of a certain strain.

My experience at dispensaries that had different levels of pricing: 
The top shelf was the quality I was used to from the Halo, but the 
prices were higher. The lower-priced strains with prices that rival 
The Green Halo were of a lower quality. A budtender at one of these 
places told me to stay away from their cheap strain. I appreciated his honesty.

The edibles alone at The Green Halo are a reason to visit. Monday is 
their day for great specials on edibles. I found the brownies to be 
almost too tasty. Their medical gummies are amazing. I had to remind 
myself these are medicine, not treats.

For those looking for concentrates, Green Halo offers great choices 
of the highest quality I have found. They assured me that their 
concentrates are made from the actual bud nuggets.

I appreciate that their concentrates are strain specific, including 
their cartridges. I have found certain strains to be more effective 
for certain ailments.

The Green Halo shares a building with a convenience store/gas 
station. The parking is much easier than some other dispensaries. The 
building is clean and the waiting room has plenty of seats. The sales 
room is very organized and does not feel as cluttered as some that I 
have visited.

The Green Halo may have been the most convenient location for me, but 
their competitively priced, high-quality medicine is the reason they 
became my favorite dispensary.
