Miguel asked to smell the Blue Dream, the high end strain of marijuana — going for $65 for one- eighth of an ounce.
He was, it happened, the first medical marijuana patient Thursday of Casa Grande’s new medical marijuana dispensary, LeafLife.
Miguel, 25, who didn’t want his last name used, discussed the different strains with Manager Brian Baldwin. Ranging from Blue Dream to Purple Monkey Balls, they were on display in glass jars behind glass cases framed in wood.
When it came to Blue Dream, Miguel liked what he smelled. He asked Baldwin if he could buy a blend of that with another strain.
Law requires everything to be sold in packages in discrete sizes, like one-eighth of an ounce, Baldwin said. No mixing.
“Is it as fresh in the package as it is in the jar?” Miguel asked.
“Yeah, I packed it last night,” Baldwin said.
Miguel went with Blue Dream, for chronic back pain he’s had since high school.
“Beats a handful of pills and a beer,” he said.
The dispensary sits in a medical complex east of Casa Grande Regional Medical
Center, in an area specially zoned by the city for a medical marijuana dispensary.
It’s the only such dispensary allowed in Casa Grande.
