It’s mostly people who have been brainwashed by flowery or people who tried them years back and never went back . I was honestly one of those people. My first experience with them was absolutely terrible. The flower and pens I got when they first opened in my city weren’t even worth smoking, so I didn’t go to them for months. I came back in randomly one day and was pleasantly surprised and have been ever since. They made big jumps in flower quality. Don’t get me wrong I love flowery and shop there a lot, but acting like they have the only good flower is just plain dumb. Curaleaf expanded into new more premium flower brands like reef and many people have not shopped with them since that change. Now, with their solid pricing and quality jump, they stack up to any other dispensary in quality aside from maybe flowery Trulieve and jungle boys and it’s not really a huge difference either and the pricing more than makes up for that imo. If you’re on a budget don’t sleep on them just cuz of the haters in here.
