The minute I walked through the door I felt welcomed, which means a lot to me. I am new to the area and had my favorite dispensary 30 miles South, until I found Cannahaven 30 minutes north who have unbelievable prices and product. The choices are endless. HIGHly recommended

Lots of variety - friendly staff; careful what you buy though since so many different brands are houses under the one roof. Check your stuff after you buy it. Staff recently helped me return and exchange a defective product, which is outstanding for the industry. 5/5 overall for the area!

Great place, good quality items. Cant miss the store. Especially at night. Their LED street sign is the perfect height that flashes you in the face while driving causing momentary blindness 👀
