I had a great first experience with Be. Staten Island location today. I had previously only visited…read moretheir Brooklyn location and had received an email they were offering 30% off your purchase this weekend. Unfortunately the brooklyn location was out of stock of the thc-a dominant products (this is the cannabinoid that helps w migraine associated pain and nausea). I saw that the Staten Island location did have the products I wanted in stock- and is only 15 min further from me via public transit. I called in advance to confirm the 30% off patient appreciation sale. Fernando who I spoke with on the phone was SO nice, so helpful, patient and kind! I had emailed them my certification and card and had placed an order on their website. Fernando confirmed they had everything in stock, that I would receive 30% off and that they are open until 8 pm Thurs- Saturday. (Leafly order confirmation incorrectly says you must arrive by 7 pm to pick up your order) I took the bus from chambers street (same $2.75 mta price) and it was a VERY short walk from the bus stop to the dispensary- maybe 3 minutes. Well you paved sidewalks. I did see plenty of parking on the street as well as a really good looking dim sum place I want to try next time. Bonus points- this location is VERY accessible for individuals with limited mobility or who use mobility devices. There is a low curb, no stairs and plenty of seating once inside. When I got inside, I was checked in immediately as they had received my card and certification via email, they let me go right back. Justin was the budtender who helped me. Super kind, professional and thorough. He checked my order and confirmed I was seeing the items I had requested. He also confirmed the price for me and a breakdown of each item cost after the discount. The price at check out was the same price quoted to me over the phone. No surprises! Be. Staten Island also takes canpay which is my preferred payment method as I never have cash and dislike debit card. Canpay is easy- you pay with your phone, money comes out of your linked bank account, and you are never are charged a fee. It is absurd that manhattan dispensaries like medmen and etain don't accept CanPay and insist on charging debit card processing fees. Bonus #2: I received a bunch of kind freebies from Justin and Fernando including some beautiful pride stickers, a lanyard, BE sunglasses, and even a dry erase board! Score! If you take advantage of their monthly patient appreciation sale to stock up, you can get the 1g select cartridges for $84 each. Anyway, I really appreciated the warm welcome and smooth experience at Be. Staten Island. I do encourage you, all patients to have keep a copy of your certification and card electronically to email the dispensaries you visit in advance. Much easier than having to dig out my paper certification

Medical marijuana dispensary advertises daily specials but refuses to honor. Ad notes 25% off…read moreflower and pre-roll and then states "PLUS 20% off (specific brands)" but when I attempt to purchase those brands I'm told I can't have the 20% off because it was already 25% off. (See below) This is the third time I've found this dispensary has used deceptive or false ads.
