Green Leaf Clinic

All available strains were listed and priced on neat, easy-to-read displays that are updated daily. The 11 varieties available on this particular day ranged from $13 to $20 a gram. Larger quantities were slightly discounted. While physician services are not available, they plan to introduce these soon. They also accept credit cards and manage an e-mail list with alerts for patrons desiring specific medicines. 

I want to emphasize what a breath of fresh air this dispensary is, with the pleasant and professional appearance to the warmth and responsiveness of staff. Both were respectful, engaging and eager to help. Green Leaf Clinic is highly organized with credential verification and print materials, as well as a working website and telephone number. While these might sound like basic business necessities, I am constantly surprised by the absence of such at other Lansing dispensaries. 

I selected a strawberry sucker and a gram of Afgoo, an indica-dominant hybrid known for its relaxing, euphoria-producing characteristics. The sucker was made in a home kitchen with .125 grams of a medical marijuana extract, sugar and flavorings. I experienced a very mild head buzz after an hour or two that lasted four to five additional hours. However, my cognition was not adversely affected. This would be a good option for individuals who need to function well while medicating. 

The Afgoo, on the other hand, produced significant euphoria, reduction of physical pain and a feeling of serenity. When smoked, the Afgoo had a crisp, clean taste with a hint of nuttiness and an oily aftertaste (not in a bad way). The more intense effects lasted about three to four hours.

When I completed my purchases, staffers bagged my medicine with a business card, a discount coupon (buy two, get one free gram), a coupon for an adjacent business and some free candies. In this saturated Lansing medical marijuana commercial market, customer service will be the driver of success. Green Leaf Clinic seems to have that down.
