Capitol Hemp

Glad to have you back in the neighborhood. Glad the laws shifted. I am approaching my 50^th year in our amazing neighborhood, and respectfully suggest you tone down the glaring window display. You are on the main strip, and in spite of the playground for young adults vibe that has taken over the area… families, children, elders still walk the street. Knowing that liquor stores and other ‘head shops’ do it~does not make me feel better about it. I know your organization has struggled for more than the stereotypical rights of stoners to party… I humbly ask you to consider your relationship to the real people who live here, not just ideals and politics. I don’t want the plant relegated to alleys and back rooms… nor do I want it thrown in my children’s face, or an abuela on her way to church. In spite of lip service and marketing, many of us who grew up when this was a neighborhood, not a place to get shit faced and dump pizza boxes, don’t believe most of the newcomers respect us or our culture. We have smoked publicly around here… since before I was born. Fuck Babylon’s laws. Our culture is to defer to the elderly, the young, the earnestly devout. It is not about hiding~ it is about giving the respect we expect returned. Can’t support you until that time. One Love.

I have been in a number of times, and to there old locations as well as The Noon and this establishment many times. Customer Service is pretty meh at this location, there old one was awesome (Chinatown was my favorite.) It is horrendous here. I called them, asked if they had a specific piece I needed. They said yes, I asked to double check, they said it was absolutely in stock. When I arrived, nope, not there. No solutions, no other options. Oh did I mention that when I told them I went across town, not even a sorry. I even spent $ 150 on this current trip. But I will not go back. Amazon has cheaper papers and grab and go accessories. In terms of customer service, Horrible. Did I mention there mark up is outrageous. A simple google while in the store will show you that. There glass is beyond expensive and the selection is terrible. Like really bad. Pieces that are 200% more expensive than another reputable site online.

I came here a couple weeks ago looking for a jewelers loupe. An older looking guy informed me that they had just ordered some and to expect em in 7 – 10 days, but i went back a few times after and they never had it. When i went and asked, some younger looking white guy was really rude about it. I don’t think it was just a coincidence bc I saw him once before that when i came in and he didn’t say anything to welcome or acknowledge me and avoided make eye contact and it was really weird for no reason.
Everyone else there is pretty chill, theres a really nice young woman who works here but i must say i was quite underwhelmed by their selection of papers. They have some hemp apparel, grinders and glass pieces, but not really a big selection. I didnt pay much attention to their glassware and stuff, but Id say most of their stuff is moderately overpriced (its not insane, but if you know what you want you could probably find most everything for at least a quarter less than what theyre asking)
Pretty underwhelming honestly
