As recomended, I visited Moonshine Dispensery seeking edible relief for chronic pain and difficulty sleeping. I was very impressed by the cleanliness and design of the facility. The staff was professional, welcoming and very knowledgeable regarding all of the products. I truly appreciate the assistance I received from a staff member named Jasmine and the tall gentleman that guided me in selecting exactly what I needed. This will definitely be my go to dispensary. Thank you.

Matt n Jasmine helped out. They listened to my concerns. My hope is that as they establish themselves as a dispensary that they maintain competitive prices. Overall nice store though. And don't steal from customers like other dispensaries with "rounding up" as if we don't want our change.

I had the pleasure of having Winana help me and I love it. I went on Halloween and got the Halloween deal and the first timers 25% deal I got 2 3.5s and some edibles and a lighter for about $120 and may I say I just took the edible and it tastes so good and I can’t wait to try the bud. All the vibes are there everyone was nice definitely recommend.

I rarely leave reviews because life just gets so busy, but as a chronic pelvic pain suffer and someone with terrible anxiety, the suppositories and edibles I purchased here were amazing for treating my pain and anxiety. And the suppositories most beneficial for my pain are not sold at most dispensaries, so the fact that this dispensary had them was a goldmine.Also, I love how friendly the entire staff is from security to the front desk person to the budtender.I was having a pretty bad pain day before coming to Mood Shine, and seeing a place care about its customers, pricing very fairly, and wanting to make the dispensary experience an inviting one, certainly made me feel a lot better. Excellent, excellent customer service and selection.
