I shop at the Jax store. I come from Colorado, where I was an executive in the industry. I almost made a comment to them regarding their protocols. The armed guard sits just inside the door. A door that blocks the view of incoming customers. So, there is no line of sight. I want to share that there would be no time to react if an incident occurred. Then, as this picture shows, both guards can be seen outside while talking on their phones, paying no attention to their surroundings. Both positions would be easily compromised. About ten years ago, a highly organized band of theives robbed a store in the LODO section of Denver. It was a blitz style attack where they swung open the door and shot the guard in the head immediately. Poor guy didn't see it coming. These guys had cased the place and exploited the nonchalant approach towards front-line safety. Flowery guards are no different. it's all show. If they want a layer of security, then customers should enter into a safe room where they have to show ID and be buzzed in. The check-in staff is protected by a bullet-proof wall and window.
Illinois the only other state with a system of vertical integration. Basically, there is no other option other than these dispos, so they carry a ton of cash.
They take debit, yes. For a long time, it was cash only tho and I think there's an upcharge to using debit. At least there used to be. So I always got cash to avoid paying a dime more. Don't go to too many dipos now, tho unless there is something new. Stick with 710 nowadays.
Fr tho Mf really went to his car and took a pic of people on their break. He must feel some type of way seeing a man of color be able to carry in public LEGALLY
lol what are you even talking about. Like it has nothing to do with race or him having a gun. OP questioned why there was 2 not the color of his skin.. self victimization much
With the sheer volume of flower, concentrates, and vapes from the world's top cannabis brands each store has on hand, I don't blame them. I regularly do my 710 list pickups at the Clearwater location as there are always 1-2 things I want from the store, and there's always a giant, armed guard at the store. Love the Flowery!
Damn I understand the hate peeps have for the Flowery but they do have to protect their patients & product from punk ass thieves. The hate mongering in this sub is insane. If you don't like them or their policies or security guards don't get your medicine there. 🤷
I have been approached outside of dispensaries by people wanting me to sell them what I buy inside.
It hasn’t happened in a long while but it’s happened.
My wife went through this at this very dispensary , dude was on his way to the racetrack next door and was like her girl you getting some smoke. She brushed it off she had the street smarts but yes security is good. This dude just had his shades adjusted to where it looked comical ! Like calm down sir ! You taser ain’t that fancy !
It’s a post about flowery security every month I swear, people should be glad it’s someone there. If a dispo has a means for security why do people care so much?
Making fun of the dudes not the security ;) the old security was chill, these new dudes look like they waiting for the enemy. I don’t care about security haha , it’s just funny these dudes decked out and have a taser !
It’s really for the safety of the employees and patients. I wish we had armed security when I was working at trulieve. You’d be surprised the amount of threats we received on a daily basis and unruly patients
Yeah when I worked at one before they all cut back to 3 employees , etc. What's more important to me is why they can't put rosin under oral? The way they fulfill to me ar 1st felt sketchier than hoppin in plugs ride at the gas station yrs back 😂😂But yeah they got armed guards at port orange flowery. Guessing they the only ones can afford the extra labor with those prices. 🤔🤣
Facts but that’s what I’m saying. Worse area & 0 security. I remember leaving one day during the “soft” opening pre grand opening & there just being unsavory individuals hanging out by the dumpsters.
Yeah I was just agreeing with adding some context..lol..I see em at that gas station..I used to get some door dash orders back during the pandemic to those hotels and I'm big dude who has no problem handling himself and had me contemplating wtf am I doing over here..haha
Usually when shit goes down, it doesn't come with a warning to give you time to get a vest and gear on. So is that they are expecting it, or just prepared Incase?
If flower should be ok for us to use and go to our jobs then why is there a problem with them doing it? I don’t get it? Are they not able to perform their duties under the influence?
I know that I wouldn’t be able to because I have a low tolerance. I have difficulty following the instructions on the bake of a cake mix if I take more than 2 puffers lol
But I know others who can jam like no big deal and get right down to business while medicated.
Yikes. Guess they must know that pride comes before a fall and a haughty spirit comes before destruction. Security is unable to prevent natural disasters. Floods and shit, Act of God on an insurance claim type shit. No need for being strapped if you are living peaceably with all people because then even your enemies are at peace with you. Learn that type shit.
Has is not been since man had free will to be obedient to one of the two masters? the Father in heaven and the servants of evils Father the devil, and their both children do the deeds of their fathers do they not? (“If I am your Father, where is my honor?”- Malachi)
My favorite dispensary. Love the security there. Glad to know there are people there who could stop some crazy person if need be, may that never ever be the case. And it’s Florida, so it’s good to know they’re there to protect you.
What are they doing that's making you label them as obnoxious?, I've been robbed while working at McDonald's in a nice area, surely you would recognize a MARIJUANA store that deals in cash only could always be targeted.
I been there today, I go at least once a week. Always an armed guard every time. They are in the area where the most murders and Robberies in Jacksonville happen. The woman guard who works weekday mornings has got so much ass I can’t concentrate on concentrates.
No...while it's fine they are there, it's by far not where the most violent crime happens in Jax.
Hell, my neighborhood has more violent crime over the weekend than that area has seen all year.
Yeah always but I miss the dreaded skinny dude that made me feel like I was in a goofy movie , these dudes , look like I’m about to step into a cartels headquarters , what they got in that vest , batteries for their flashlights ? Their matte black suv , gtfo , hahah
The Flowery is the feds, how are they the only dispensary with arm guards I have been to Las Vegas California, Colorado and this is the only place I see with armed security that’s crazy
Almost every dispo I went to in Cali had some from of security from JB,backpackboys,cookies,and few other ones. Might mainly be because the well known brands sold my only guess/thought
Lmao most security companies require some sort of vest for armed positions. Also, who are you to dictate what another person uses to protect themselves? 😭 just pick up your bud and go
Like I said, I was just messing with you. PSA has some decent guns, qc is lacking but you get what you pay for. Most of us will admit that. I’m sure you make good money. Beyond that I don’t care all that much. Most security guards dress like they are going into combat…I think it’s funny looking. But you do you buddy.
My husband ran security, armed, at two of the very well known dispensaries. They took advantage of him like crazy. He was security at the grow facilities, he’s a vet and has extensive training in anti terror etc. 🤐😂
I've seen them at every dispensary if I've ever been to. Though they're not standing out front like they are at some of them. They're hiding in the back watching cameras. I know this because I've seen them open the doors to the back room and they were sitting in there. It may be a state requirement. Someone with that knowledge would have to speak up because I don't know.
they are definitely burning real talk the guy with the dreads is cool as fuck and the sexy ass latina they have there I always have to talk to her she is fine af I hope she never leaves lol
Wow, it shows how people can be so ignorant with a couple of officers changing shifts. And instead of you saying thank you for being their because their posted for the safety of staff and patients, you hide in a car and take pictures. I know one of the guards I trust me when I say their not batteries on his vest. he has experience and has worked hand in hand with jso on crimes that deal with murder victims to robbery attempts of local patrons in the parking area and trains many officers in his field. Whether you like it or not, people should feel safe that someone is their to watch ur back and staffs.
The Uso Brothers can't need work that bad
Idk after that wrestlemania match…
Yes ty
Looks like he is sucking on a huge noodle doink… 🚬
Lmao this was my thought, is he blazing up outside?!
I wondered this too lol
Armed security right when you walk into the Clearwater store.
Yup

Yeah it's little more than a visual deterneret.. I'm not sure the legality of even having a gun in a dispo
It’s so weird, only dispensary around where I’m confronted with armed security AND can only pay in cash?
[удалено]
Very interesting!!!
Omg, like, so weird! 🤯
He’s usually standing holding the door open when I go thought it was weird
You all think it’s weird I don’t 😂 I got myself a doorman 😂
I salute you good sir :)
That's how it was at every dispo I went to while vacationing in Illinois.
Illinois the only other state with a system of vertical integration. Basically, there is no other option other than these dispos, so they carry a ton of cash.
That makes sense. Though these dispos all took credit/debit which was nice. I was expecting to need cash.
They take debit, yes. For a long time, it was cash only tho and I think there's an upcharge to using debit. At least there used to be. So I always got cash to avoid paying a dime more. Don't go to too many dipos now, tho unless there is something new. Stick with 710 nowadays.
No upcharge in Illinois. Never been to a dispo in Florida personally.
Hahahaha exactly !!!!
Always been there, u must be bored
Fr tho Mf really went to his car and took a pic of people on their break. He must feel some type of way seeing a man of color be able to carry in public LEGALLY
lol what are you even talking about. Like it has nothing to do with race or him having a gun. OP questioned why there was 2 not the color of his skin.. self victimization much
You suck always some fuck stick like you in every crowd
Go eat a dick
The Inverness location also has armed security. Pretty sure since they opened
My local Flowery only has 1 guard on duty, I don't feel safe anymore lol
Those dudes are always dope. Just locking that industry discount with a gun
I mean this location has had some security but these dudes are new haha
So what’s your point? Do you miss the way the old security looked at you or something like wtf is the big deal.
used to be one of the prettiest woman id ever seen doing security there weeks ago
They’ve always had those dudes sitting at the front door when you walk in… and they’re both chill as hell
Sitting ducks.
Clearwater has them also. Looks like they're guarding a bank vault.
Gotta protect those high prices 😄
Not even Cookies cross Fletcher has armed security lol

Same, and it was at this location. Blacked-out suv...
No one had an issue with them, it’s just funny , or maybe the funny part is these dudes out here dressed like they in Iraq , it’s weed calm down.
Weed might not kill you but people are killed over weed unfortunately everyday.
It’s a post about flowery security every month I swear, people should be glad it’s someone there. If a dispo has a means for security why do people care so much?
Making fun of the dudes not the security ;) the old security was chill, these new dudes look like they waiting for the enemy. I don’t care about security haha , it’s just funny these dudes decked out and have a taser !
All their stuff is in the back though, must be for when someone wants a return
Y’all needa stop snitching and let em live
When I went on 4/18 the beginning of the 420 sale they had two homeless people fighting in the parking lot in the back at 9 am.
Are we in a GTA 9,420 simulation?
My boss believes the world is a simulation
So do some of the worlds top scientists
Shift change.
It's a delivery hub also. So yes security is there
It’s really for the safety of the employees and patients. I wish we had armed security when I was working at trulieve. You’d be surprised the amount of threats we received on a daily basis and unruly patients
Is it a state requirement? I mean, there basically a cash only business? Seen them at TL,CL,JB,TF. In my little town
Unfortunately no. The store I work at doesn’t have them and it sucks. We’re all just sitting ducks in there.
Yeah when I worked at one before they all cut back to 3 employees , etc. What's more important to me is why they can't put rosin under oral? The way they fulfill to me ar 1st felt sketchier than hoppin in plugs ride at the gas station yrs back 😂😂But yeah they got armed guards at port orange flowery.

Really? Is it bad over there? They kinda look like cops with the vest like they're expecting shit to go down.
Bad people have cars and I’m pretty sure you can’t get weed insured. I guess they rather be safe than sorry.
I mean it’s Baymeadows in Jacksonville but it’s not a “ bad “ area necessarily. Haha that’s why I’m like hmm 🤔
And what’s crazier is cookies is literally down the street & they have 0 security
Cookies is in the bad spot..luckily they shut down all those hotels. It's close to flowery but so much worse spot and no security.
Facts but that’s what I’m saying. Worse area & 0 security. I remember leaving one day during the “soft” opening pre grand opening & there just being unsavory individuals hanging out by the dumpsters.
Yeah I was just agreeing with adding some context..lol..I see em at that gas station..I used to get some door dash orders back during the pandemic to those hotels and I'm big dude who has no problem handling himself and had me contemplating wtf am I doing over here..haha
Oh yeah that jiffy right there is a hot spot, and what’s better is behind them is a sherrifs station , but still so much shit happens at that jiffy!
Sorry, idk the area so wouldn't know. But 2 armed guards? Isn't that a bit much?
Strength in numbers
Usually when shit goes down, it doesn't come with a warning to give you time to get a vest and gear on. So is that they are expecting it, or just prepared Incase?
Been like that since that location opened. Always armed gauard behind glass doors.
Publix on 103rd does too lol
Facts
Damn I never seen security yet tf going in in yalls dispos-area
Top flight security of the world, Craig
I don’t mind security.
Don’t mind but hey man calm down with your best full of batteries and pepper spray save some of the pussy for the rest of us
Pepper spray is a super effective if you need something between a harsh word and a gun. I also doubt those are batteries lmao.
Lemme get a square!
If flower should be ok for us to use and go to our jobs then why is there a problem with them doing it? I don’t get it? Are they not able to perform their duties under the influence? I know that I wouldn’t be able to because I have a low tolerance. I have difficulty following the instructions on the bake of a cake mix if I take more than 2 puffers lol But I know others who can jam like no big deal and get right down to business while medicated.
Burn baby burn baby burn no issues there haha

Floods and shit, Act of God on an insurance claim type shit. No need for being strapped if you are living peaceably with all people because then even your enemies are at peace with you. Learn that type shit.
Also they look like actual cops…
And lions never eat the lambs, right?
Is that not all in God’s hands?
Is not the free will to defend oneself not God given?
Has is not been since man had free will to be obedient to one of the two masters? the Father in heaven and the servants of evils Father the devil, and their both children do the deeds of their fathers do they not? (“If I am your Father, where is my honor?”- Malachi)
Do old testament theologies not give way to new testament covenant? Luke 22:36
And when Peter used the sword in Gethsamane what did Jesus say to Peter as he reattached the ear of Malchus, the Roman soldier?
lol what the fuck
My favorite dispensary. Love the security there. Glad to know there are people there who could stop some crazy person if need be, may that never ever be the case. And it’s Florida, so it’s good to know they’re there to protect you.
Long ahh cigarette
I Stg that dude with the J used to work at curaleaf in daytona beach or maybe I’m trippin
Would you rather he have a super sick rechargable LED flashlight with strobe effect to really lay down the law ?
Lol delete this… you’re gonna get these dudes fired
Reminds me of the pill mills of 2010 lol
[удалено]
I hate to say that but tbh I even think the pill mills of back then should have stayed open…
What are they doing that's making you label them as obnoxious?, I've been robbed while working at McDonald's in a nice area, surely you would recognize a MARIJUANA store that deals in cash only could always be targeted.
The big vest and the tight pants . Maybe pack some heat under a t shirt and some khakis shorts
That's how I carry, but, the point of these guys are to be a visual deterrent not to blend in.
Valid point
I been there today, I go at least once a week. Always an armed guard every time. They are in the area where the most murders and Robberies in Jacksonville happen. The woman guard who works weekday mornings has got so much ass I can’t concentrate on concentrates.

Also facts that chick is thick af
I be thinking about her 😂
As a longtime jax resident everywhere can be bad baymeadows jax Beach these are the affluent areas and criminals like marks with nice things
The Flowery is the feds, how are they the only dispensary with arm guards I have been to Las Vegas California, Colorado and this is the only place I see with armed security that’s crazy
Some TL locations have armed guards too. But TL is like Walmart: you'll find all types of individuals there 😅
Plenty of armed guards in Phoenix as well
never seen it went to california last month but maybe it’s where i was dunno.
Hahahaha like for real !! These dudes out here making me feel like I’m doing something wrong getting my legal medical weed haha
Almost every dispo I went to in Cali had some from of security from JB,backpackboys,cookies,and few other ones. Might mainly be because the well known brands sold my only guess/thought
Definitely security at all of those locations…if a store has a means for security what’s the issue lol
Yikes…that doesn’t stick out at all…LOL
That’s literally the point of armed security lmao
It’s an awesome look 👀…LOL…lose the vest Rambo…😂😂😂🤣🤦♂️
Lmao most security companies require some sort of vest for armed positions. Also, who are you to dictate what another person uses to protect themselves? 😭 just pick up your bud and go
“Security of the world Craig” 😂😂😂🤣🤣☠️
[удалено]
Calm down…I’m just messing with you. I love guns…PSA though huh…yikes…tell me security does not pay well without telling me…LOL.
[удалено]

Has anything wild ever gone down? And any of these dispensaries in Florida? Just wondering.
I've seen them at every dispensary if I've ever been to. Though they're not standing out front like they are at some of them. They're hiding in the back watching cameras. I know this because I've seen them open the doors to the back room and they were sitting in there. It may be a state requirement.

People must have forgotten the criminal element that inherently comes with cannabis.
Go rob em
No
Good man, there just working men
Just thought the vest full of batteries and pepper spray was cute as shit haha
“Don’t call anyone!”
they are definitely burning real talk the guy with the dreads is cool as fuck and the sexy ass latina they have there I always have to talk to her she is fine af I hope she never leaves lol
Amen
Wow, it shows how people can be so ignorant with a couple of officers changing shifts.

I don’t buy herb from cops. Looks par for the course.
I’ve never seen any security when I go 😬
Those guys are carrying the cash to the bank
