(UPDATE) I got in touch with someone from Bowdega and they were kind enough to replace the ounce I got with a new, top shelf ounce, of my choice. They even through in a couple prerolls for the trouble. Therefore I’m giving them 5 stars and highly recommending them to anyone looking for a dispensary with integrity that appreciates their customers. First time customer and I was initially excited to try Bowdega. I ordered online for curbside pickup. I’m partial to Localgrove products and saw they had a strain I never tried before called Gushers. It was labeled as a “new drop” and was only $130/oz. So, I ordered an ounce of it. I get home and see that it was harvested 12/01/25. That’s hardly “new”. Even if it’s new to Bowdega it’s still misleading. I try to never buy flower that’s more than 3 months past harvest because I feel you lose a lot of the medicinal terps and flavor. Which proved to be true after trying the Gushers. However, it smokes well and is still potent. It’s just light on flavor but as I said previously, it was discounted to 130/oz. So I’m a little disappointed and feel a bit misled but all was not lost. The people there were friendly and curbside was quick and easy. Also, I’m not without blame, I should’ve checked the harvest date before I paid. So I feel three stars is fair and maybe I’ll try them again someday. – J
Late-Night Lounge Experience Could Use Clearer Closing Communication I’ve enjoyed Burn 1 Cannabis Lounge before, so I was looking forward to a repeat visit — but this time the experience fell short. The staff was welcoming during my first visit and the atmosphere was relaxed. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was disappointing. I arrived around 11:36 pm and purchased two pre-rolls specifically so I could use the lounge (since a purchase from Bowdega is required to enter). One was an infused pre-roll, which is more premium, and the other was a standard pre-roll. I entered the lounge around 11:38 pm and lit my joint around 11:40 while watching the basketball game. Around 11:45 the lights were turned on and the TV was shut off, and at about 11:47 security asked me to leave, even though the posted lounge closing time is midnight. This was confusing because during a previous visit, staff had said the lounge closes at midnight. No one mentioned anything about the lounge closing soon when my ID was scanned at the entrance. Being asked to leave shortly after purchasing a premium product specifically to enjoy the lounge made the experience feel rushed and disappointing. If someone had simply said, “Just so you know, the lounge closes in about 10 minutes,” I could have decided whether to stay or come back another time. The staff and security were polite, so this isn’t about anyone being rude. I still think Burn 1 Cannabis Lounge is a cool concept and I enjoyed my first visit, but clearer and more consistent communication about closing times — especially for customers buying premium products late at night — would really improve the experience. I’d love to come back in the future and enjoy the lounge as intended. If management wants to clarify the closing policy or provide guidance for late-night visits, I’d appreciate hearing from you. – Brandon Ruffin

Craig was great! Very helpful and great with recommendations for what you’re looking for. My first time going there was a 40% off deal which was nice and they have a good selection. Visited the lounge and it was a cool vibe. – Les
Love this place. Super chill, staff is always friendly and greets you with smiles. So cool to be able to just hang out to toke in a lounge. Comfy seats, a snack bar, TV's, and an outside deck area as well. – Crystal Rose
