The third stop on a tour I did this last Wednesday with Headbandfan and Mr.nice215 was Green Joy. Green Joy is located of off Convoy, but secluded in one of the many Asian shopping centers on that street. It was a little difficult to find and the fact that they don't have a sign pointing out which lot to turn in to, adds to the grief. Just when we thought we had found the right parking lot, we were wrong and had to walk over to the next one. The club itself is tucked away in the back left hand corner of the lot.

When we walked in I think we surprised the BT. Hey, maybe he's never seen that many patients walk through the door at one time. Verification took a little longer than I expected and a patient who arrived while we were waiting was actually admitted before us?? When it was finally our turn, we were sent through a door to the nug room where the receptionist Tom, magically transformed into our BT. The nug room was very spacious and I really like the way everything was set-up. They had about 30 strains in large jars that were lined up down the bar beginning with their top shelf options. So me and boys got right down to business and started popping tops. The first couple of strains I viewed were either poor organic excuses or so packed into their jar, the lid was crushing what little trichs were left on them. I even brought this to Tom's attention and he didn't seem very worried. The rest of their 60 dollar strains were so lifeless and embarrassing for that amount, we didn't even want to see the low grade options. After beating around the bush for some time, we explained to the BT that we would not be getting anything and I tell you, he looked pretty shocked. There was a last minute attempt by the BT to interest us in a free gram and though we really didn't want it, We took it. I felt like I had to, poor old Tom was so sad we could find anything, he had to send us packing with something. After examining this Hindu Kush, I found it to be one of the worst samples I've ever received. It had an ugly brown tint to it and smelled like some moldy peppermint. The high....you gotta be kidding me if you think I smoked that stuff!

In conclusion I feel this place is in need of a serious overhaul. Donation prices need to be lowered if quality flowers aren't going to be hired. I find it really hard to believe this place still exists.
