Disclaimer: I can only speak to a few components of this business, as I only go here for one thing, and fairly infrequently. I struggle with back pain at times, likely because I have a sedentary job, but am very active otherwise. I do not particularly enjoy taking pills, and I certainly don't use illegal substances, so I used to really just ignore the discomfort. Recently I began going to a massage therapist, and I had a lot of knots. You know that thing where they tell you that you can be sore for up to 2 weeks after, and maybe even experience pain? I was that guy. A friend of mine told me to try Kratom. She said that she was in a bad accident, and that she is allergic to pain medication, but that the legal substance which you can get at head shops, called Kratom has worked wonders for her. I decided to check it out. When you walk in the shop you get that big hit of incense. The stick they were burning yesterday was awful, but it is usually pretty mellow. The store has so much more mass than one might expect. It's a deep building, and it is lined with display cases. They have all of the regular paraphernalia that comes with smoking marijuana (Ummm, tobacco use only the signs say), but I cannot speak to all of that. Right by the register is where the Kratom lives. Since I am a trained mental health and substance abuse professional, I always research ahead of time. This place has most of the basic strains, in both capsule and powder forms, though I highly recommend the capsules, as the powder tastes awful, generally speaking. The first time I ever visited (and didn't buy anyhing) was when I came to UTA in 2014. Back then there were students working there, and they were very helpful. However, each time I have been since, at different times of day, the owner has been working only. This is my one star subtraction. The last time I was in there a very elderly couple came in with walkers. It was apparent they were out of their element, and they really needed some assistance. It was just the two of them in the store, and me. The older lady explained that she was cut off by her doctor for meds after her hip replacement. She was asking very valid questions about strength of strains, powders versus pills, etc. The owner wasn't willing to be patient with these questions. He even at one point told them "I can't tell you everything about everything. You might use internet to look it up." I told him that I wasn't in a hurry. He kind of ignored my comment. Then he kind of ignored their questions. The place has a decent deal. One bottle of Kratom is $32.99 there (a little high, I'd say, but it is quality). However, you can buy 3 get one free. I will probably not use that much Kratom in my life, but if I had a hip replacement, maybe. I felt pretty bad, so I kind of started helping them. For some reason they were kind of stuck on powder to mix with OJ. I gave them some advice, but dude upsold them a lot for their first time, despite the fact they didn't know anything about the stuff. Just some notes: They don't have diet sodas inside. Not a big deal, but kind of matters to me. That mannequin will likely scare the hell out of you every time you walk in. It is positioned in a way which it sits in your peripheral and the gas mask makes it kind of startling. I have many peers who love this place for their "tobacco" paraphernalia. And all in all, it is a clean shop and you don't have to worry about the craziness that comes with gas station Kratom. Just do some research on whatever you wish to buy before you go, and you should be okay. read more

The Wild Side - Kratom - Maeng Da Super strain - 60 capsules - 32.99 - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Arlington, Texas

This place is a scam. I bought a CBD vape which was supposed to last for 1600 puffs but it gave up after a couple of uses. I took it back to the store and the person there was rude and refused to even listen to what I had to say. read more

The cost of their Kratom is at least double of that anywhere else. It was $50 for 2 oz. I generally by 8 ounces for $44 or $79 for a kilo online. read more

Just called them to ask price on kratom. They are very respectful too. I'm going to make this my go to shop from now on.

Cant answer a simple question. Only words he knew was bring back device. Bring back device. Ill go elsewhere where they actually can assist and not only say bring back device 15x. Waste of time and gas on a cold night. read more

This place is the best smoke shop. They have a anything you could possibly want. A large selection of blunts and papers and hemp wraps every flavor. You will not be disappointed. And very good customer service read more

I went there one night to just a one hitter for my dugout. The guy then charges me doubt for it. I call him out and he tries to argue with me over the price, when it was clearly marked. Make sure you check the prices and your receipt. I wouldn't recommend going here!! read more

Well priced items, they have everything you'd need, and more. They're honest people who want to make sure you get what you're looking for and won't push things on you. I got a glass piece for $35 and I'm happy with my purchase. Parking is easy - they have a couple of spots dedicated to their business. read more

Great prices for the product choices. So items like most stores you can buy cheaper online. No issue here . People are very friendly

Bought a torch here & 3 (THREE) days later it busts & proceeds to not work. (I am a big smoker so I did everything to fix the torch it was busted) I go back to the store to get some help, maybe return & exchange the item that I bought & proceeds to not work but of course they tell me I'm SOL & they "don't do returns". The staff was no help what so ever & this store is shit for having a no return policy. So I'm going to buy my torch from & take my business to Gas Pipe on Collins read more

I don't like their response to bad reviews. I was treated 100% great there but some responses to your unsatisfied customers is infuriating and it's wrong! Intimidation is against the law, and I find their responses as such. I've worked in civil law for 10yrs, under Texas-Health/Industry Investigations (I'll sue them blind, if this company says anything too smart to me, Im not one of you college kids). I've never seen a business break so many codes and laws, on Yelp. It only takes one call for a business to go under. I wasn't going to be so stern but reading their past comments, I need them to know, that it'd be BAD to play that game (I do P1, P2 and RM affidavits all day, everyday so try me, just a tiny smart word and they'll learn the hard way), don't let them do that to you. If I were them LOL I'd be afraid of issues that go with what they're saying on here. They've, made a civil law enemy and another bad review. Write your feelings about them don't feel "BULLIED (they can't do that legally, they'd go broke just trying to fight the case, fines, the investigating mandatory SHUTDOWNS and penalties)! Im incognito for now, but if they get smart... I'll contact you other reviewers. I'd also write all legal papers, file, time and contacts, sub-Austin and do the P2 and SUE from their HX! They're on thin ice with me, so clean up your act! read more
