I have used Raz ( happydankzone@gmail.com ) at least 3-4 times and every time it has been top notch. He is the best local plug you can find around. He is very pleasant, friendly and fast. He is a lifesaver.
He sells top shelf WEED and other stuffs at moderate prices. I will always recommend this guy when people ask me my ” go-to”. All you have to do is follow his instructions.
Just send him an email and I bet you will come back for more once you finish what you bought because the quality is incredible.

Raz is absolutely incredible. The weed he sells knocked me off my socks. To be honest, after reading the reviews above, I thought it was some kind of a hoax. But finally when I gave him a try, did everything he asked and he showed up in style and I must say he is very helpful, friendly and responsive.
Raz( happydankzone@gmail.com ) is the top service so far. Great service, easy to work with and I’m very satisfied. I’m so happy I found Raz here. He is super responsive, on time and the quality of weed he sells are serious on point and top notch.
I followed his instructions and sincerely I was skeptical at first but he finally showed up on time. I will definitely be ordering from him more often because he is the only reliable local plug you can trust so far
