  1. 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.

    You can find him on telegram by clicking:https://t.me/budsandstoners

  2. If you are getting from elsewhere then you need to switch. The great pricing attracted me, but the hospitality of Raz, the quality of weed ( dried and completely cured nugs), the fast delivery and the freebies made this experience amazing.
    Will definitely come back for sure and I will

  3. 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
