These folks are from the Bay Area and one is from up north. Their lavender products are quite nice, but their medical mj product leaves a lot to be desired. I have seen a bit of it since they moved in right next door to my dispensary after I had been here since 2005. The owner had offered to buy my database...which is a HIPAA violation! You cannot just ""buy"" patient names! I was polite enough and told her I was not interested and would have had to notify over 8000 patients in order for this to even be legitimate. She left and then signed a longterm lease in the building next door, and has been trying to ride my coattails ever since. It doesn't appear to be going too well. She now is open EVERY day and doesn't let her employees have time off. I have spoken with them, as it is not their fault that they are being worked hard with little remuneration. I do feel a bit sorry for the gals that come in for the ""belly dance"" classes and some other ""health classes"" that are very poorly attended, if at all. Her driveway is right by mine and my windows face that way, so it is obvious to me when they have company and when they don't . Mostly they don't. I do have to remind the few patients that they have that the paved nice parking lot that we have here is not for the neighbor's use, and mostly folks are pretty good about it, even though it means having to move to a chip-sealed parking area by the septic system. Also, be prepared to arrive at least anhour before they close, as they have told many, MANY customers that an hour is just ""not enough time to get you verified""...and can you come back tomorrow? Really? It takes us a few minutes, assuming the paperwork is in order andI would like to thank them for actually sending some folks here even on our day off for some great product and a professional attitude. The only folks I see go over there on a regular basis are the ones that have violated our rules and now are forced to go there if they want any medical mj. It is a shame to watch some of the antics going on over there and we are glad that we can hold our heads up high without the drama-filled people that now populate their store. It shouldn't be much longer before they return to either Berkeley, Laytonville, or someone's house on Simpson Lane to sell their product.\r
