I don't give bad reviews lightly, but Higher Education robbed me of $70. They did this by selling…read moreme a cheaply made knock-off grinder and then refusing to accept a return. Higher Education are criminals who are damaging the name of an American Company, Cali Crusher, as well as trust in local businesses. I brought the clean and unused grinder back into Higher Education, along with the receipt, and proof that it was a knockoff. The Owner's reply after acknowledging that it was fake grinder was: "No returns. No returns, no exceptions. Do you want me to keep repeating myself?" This is the most unprofessional and disgusting way of doing business I've seen from a RVA proprietor outside of Seibert's Towing. Selling cheaply made knockoff goods for premium price of $70 and refusing to accept returns is simply criminal. The Owner has made this practice his policy, and for that reason Higher Education does not deserve your business. PS: The Grinder is fake because: 1) It visibly doesn't have Cali Crusher's patented 4-Way Quick Lock System. it just has regular cheap metal threading 2) It doesn't have the crossbar supports beneath the screen. 3) It has a cheap plastic pollen scraper, instead of Cali Crusher's signature guitar pick shape.

Had great experiences at this place (which is a few blocks from my house), until they sold me an…read more18mm bubbler after I specifically told the sales associate (who I think was pretty new) that I needed a 14mm stem--then flat out refused to exchange it for something that would work when I brought it back totally unused 20 minutes later. The associate even admitted it was his fault for selling me the wrong size, but his manager wouldn't let him do the obvious decent thing--which was exchange it. I mean seriously, what the heck is that? When I called the manager myself, she wouldn't even hear me out, just saying "no refunds" and "you should have read the signs before buying something." Totally not how the law works, much less basic retail service. I seriously hope that $85 one-time sale was worth losing a repeat customer and pissing off a neighbor.

I absolutely love this local smoke shop! They consistently have everything I need, and the quality…read moreof their products is always top-tier. The owner and every employee I've interacted with have been nothing short of amazing super friendly, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable about everything they sell. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and their craft. One of my favorite little touches is their indoor/outdoor shop kitty she is the sweetest thing ever. If you're lucky enough to catch her inside while you're shopping, it truly makes the experience even better. Bonus points for kitty pets! The only small thing I'll mention (not really a complaint, just a heads-up) is that when driving by, it can sometimes be hard to tell if they're open because of the bars on the doors for safety. It can give the illusion that they're closed when they're actually open which they usually are, and often late into the night (huge plus!). Parking is easy too there's parking right in front of the building, and I've also parked behind near the auto shop and walked over without any issues. Overall, this place is a gem. Highly recommend supporting this shop you won't be disappointed!

Just to clear up a bit of confusion I saw in some of the comments -- the flower I bought here was…read morelabeled and tested as THCA hemp flower, not a synthetic product. THCA is a natural cannabinoid found in hemp and cannabis plants that turns into THC when it's heated. So it's not Delta-8 or lab-made -- it's simply unheated hemp flower that's legally compliant because it tests under 0.3% Delta-9 THC before it's smoked. Once heated, it behaves like regular cannabis. Give these guys a try if you're in RVA! It is NOT medical grade cannabis-- in Virginia you must have a medical card for that

And they have a service pup usually in the shop who is very cute and sweet. Their CBD is super effective for my anxiety and insomnia. They often have free samples of products. Tried a CBD lotion today for my sore neck and my neck feels great since. Really good value for the cost. Plus they regularly have great sales. This is my personal favorite the CBG isolate, which I find to be the most helpful for sleep anxiety. Their Kapana brand I think is the best (it's all I get now). Highly recommend!

Just denied me even though I had a valid ID. Husband ran into the vape store to grab me something…read more He left his ID at home. He is obviously over the age and has greying hair. Plus we are in there ALL THE TIME. Okay, not problem right? Wrong. The smug asshole behind the counter informed me when I came in myself that I could not not buy my own coils. I had my ID. It was for my vape. Basically I was told I couldn't buy anything until my husband showed back up with his ID. Trash. We have been loyal customers for several years now. Never again. I have friends that go there and I'll be turning them to a new store too. I am almost 30 years old with a valid ID. I've been doing hard labor for the last 8 hours and I shouldn't have to drive home and drive back. So I won't. Ever. So thanks for chasing off regulars who spend hundreds at your store. Like for real the guy KNEW we were both of age and was being an asshole just because he COULD be an asshole.
