About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unseasonably warm autumn morning when a delivery driver pulled up to Native Roots Dispensary. The sun was just peeking over the rooftops, casting an unusual glow on the usually quiet street. As he stepped out of his truck, the driver noticed something strange—an unfamiliar scent wafted through the air. Turning around, he saw a neighbor watering his garden while smoking what looked like a particularly large cigarillo. ‘Hey,’ the neighbor called out cheerfully, “try one of these new Native Roots blends! They’re supposed to give you superhuman strength!’ The delivery driver shook his head and smiled, thinking it must be another one of those urban legends.
2. A sign outside Native Roots Dispensary read: ‘Ask for a free sample if you’re feeling blue today.’ One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up and asked with a smile. The clerk raised an eyebrow but handed him a small baggie anyway. The delivery driver popped open the baggie curiously, took one puff, and promptly burst out laughing so hard he almost dropped his clipboard. He said, ‘This is the best high I’ve ever had—just sitting here!’ The clerk shook her head with a smile, knowing that sometimes a little free sample really does make your day.’
3. A neighbor walking their dog noticed something strange one night: every Wednesday at exactly seven o’clock, the dispensary’s neon sign flickered like it was winking. Curious, the neighbor told a regular who happened to be inside. ‘Did you know your sign does that?’ asked the neighbor. The regular shrugged, smiling. ‘Nah, never noticed,’ he said. From then on, every Wednesday at precisely seven, locals would gather outside just to watch the sign wink and laugh together.
4. A little girl, holding her mom’s hand, stopped abruptly and pointed at the dispensary door. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘why does that plant wave back?’ The mother smiled and gently explained, ‘Honey, it’s not really moving—it’s just the light dancing on the leaves.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then turned back with a mischievous grin, whispering, ‘So if I wave my hand, will it wave back too?’
