Have you ever been down the block from RNS and go to the right (to the left is the rest of the stores near Calvin’s). I ventured down there to scope it out and def a little sketch
I concur, I don’t like the shops near the gas stations, expensive and rip-offs. Staff is rude and stand-off ish.
Haven’t been over to that side in a while, last I saw there was a lot of construction going on. Fast Gas down there has some $30 carts, but then again, so does Smokes 4 Less right next to Smoker’s Depot, so there’s not much reason for me to drive that far down. I usually turn my car right around and opt not to go past Smokers Depot. ive had mediocre to poor experiences at places like Native Greenleaf, Montauk Native Gas and Native Sisters (not to be confused with RNS).
I got nothing but good things to say about RNS though. It’s worth just getting my bud or w.e else from them rather than drive down to Smoker Depot, fast gas, or the other places. I feel like the deeper down you drive, the sketchier it gets. I don’t like the Montauk gas/fast gas side. Just simply pull in; make a right to the blue building at rising native sisters, spend maybe 5-10 mins and head right home. Im covered.
I mean, if you needed a second option though in case, there is Poospatuck Tobacco and Herb Center on the other side of the res at the back entrance/exit, a place I recommend if you want premium bud for a reasonable price. Just cut through the residential neighborhood if you can do it and you’ll be in and out like RNS. Unfortunately like Smoker Depot, their carts are pricier than at Rising Native Sisters ($35 vs $50 for the same Punch Vape or Big Chief is a no brainer) especially if I can get three carts for 100 at my fav place RNS. Not a fan of paying more for the same shit if I can help it.
only reason I checked out Calvin’s was because I heard positive things from others, and they did have more cart flavors and edible selection but that’s about it, nothing to see folks, lot of fake shit, rude staff that denied me basic usage of a bathroom.. honestly, I can still get everything I need some place else whether it be from RNS, smoker depot/outlet, or Poospatuck T&H Center. And I can relieve myself in their clean bathroom before the drive home..
I get it is a private business, they can refuse anyone for almost any reason, but that was just flat-out rude and pissed me off. They’re never seeing a penny from me again. Still don’t understand what the hype was about from others who visited there; whole wall decided to complete shit-edibles like mnms and warheads, mid-bud for premium prices, rude people, just overall bad vibes!
RNS even lets me use their BR in the back, they’ve always been nice and accommodating to me. No reason why any of these reservation shops shouldn’t unless theyre just dicks by nature. They probably do deal with a lot of problematic customers. I’ve heard from them they have had ppl swipe the little gram display jars, getting into parking lot arguments, and just not being respectful of said business and their land. I suppose repeat business, not being a scumbag, and building rapport works better. Who knew! Lol
If you needed a second option try Smoker Depot or Poospatuck Tobacco and Herb Center. I actually still have a fat half oz left of Dreamcatcher from 4/20, still fresh and potent as anything. Highly recommend you check that place out for bud. Got an ounce there that day for around $155 cash when it’s usually 200. They even offer $50 ounces of unnamed shit, doesn’t like too pretty either, I wasn’t interested in low-tier stuff despite the enticing price tag. I only smoke maybe once a week if I’m off from work, exercising outside and it’s nice out, so I’m able to let bud last longer than most. I’m not one to smoke out my car or room anymore.
I haven’t done much recon on the shops/dispensaries along Squaw Lane, looks like there are only a few then you hit a dead end or cul-de-sac. Probably nothing of interest.
