CanniCorner: RICOCHET GALLERY COLLECTIVE

Ricochet Gallery Collective, previously known as Independent Collective of Orange County in Lake Forest, is located off of Main St half a block off of McFadden. There is only small sticker lettering on the window, and on the front door, so it is hard to find (they plan on adding a decal soon). EDIT: There is a dedicated parking lot behind the building, but also street parking in the neighborhoods.

The lobby here has standard furniture, sign in window, and an ATM. There are a few seats to wait while you get checked in (which doesn't take long), but that's about it furniture wise. The unique aspect of RGC's lobby is the fact that there is artwork, done by the owner, hanging all over one of the walls. There are also prints of them at a low donation too.

The bud room of RGC is on the smaller side, but is setup nicely. There are two glass cases with the meds displayed on them. The one negative thing about their bud room is the fact that their meds are pre-weighed. (We've been there twice and obtained multiple strains, and have had no problems with the weight; they were exactly on point). However, the containers that the meds come in are a lot nicer than most other collectives, and can be re-used for a long time.

The staff at RGC is friendly and knowledgeable about their strains. They're still settling in at the new location, but the BT's were still, mostly, on point. Truthfully there have been a couple of honest mistakes made, but definitely nothing serious. The two mistakes were also taken care of right away, so the quick resolution was definitely a good thing.

The quality of the meds are absolutely outstanding. Loompa Farms, in my humble opinion, is one of the best farms in Humboldt, and seeing their meds back in OC is great. The cap is a bit high at $55, but they have very good deals every single day and once a week. There is a reason for the higher price on the meds which is reasonable. Loompa Farms is a relatively small collective of growers...not a large-scale commercial farm. Growing quality like theirs is impossible on a commercial scale, so all the attention, hard work, trade secrets, and patience of the growers go into each and every one of the strains they do. Ricochet is the only collective in Orange County that carries strains grown by Loompa at himself.

Ricochet Gallery Collective's quality is nearly astronomical (including their non-Loompa Farms strains), and they have great deals to make even Loompa strains very affordable. They were once in Lake Forest, but was shut down. They continued providing their meds to their patients through delivery, and then was finally able to re-open in Santa Ana. They're here to stay, and with the quality they have they won't be going anywhere anytime soon.

NOTE: Strains grown specifically by Loompa Farms will be critiqued by multiple reviewers with every review.
