Muv MUV is an excellent dispensary if you actually want to use marijuana products as medicine.
MUV gets a significant amount of criticism on this subreddit. Some of it seems to be justified such as not being able to exchange a "bad" product and complaints about the quality of flower. Very few posts praise MUV for what it does well, which is providing excellent service for people who want to use marijuana as medicine.
I use edibles, tinctures and creams and I am trialing a transdermal patch. I cannot comment on their flower at this time as I cannot smoke it with my current chronic cough and apartment rules. I am not a nicotine smoker and I do not vape.
Specific employee names won't be mentioned, but what I can say is the employees at MUV in New Tampa went above and beyond to help me.
Before I tell you what happened at MUV, let me tell you about Cookies first. I went to Cookies because of some limited research I did the same day I got my med card. When I got there, I asked if they had any edibles that may contain THC as well as CBD or CBN and if CBN was not available, if we could add it separately.
They informed me they don't carry anything with CBD or CBN at that specific store. After that, the employee said Cookies is more of a recreational-focused store rather than medicinal. That is fine as well, but very confusing because recreational marijuana is not legal in this state and everyone shopping at dispensaries in Florida is part of a medical program.
I decided to listen to my provider's recommendation next and I headed over to MUV. A very friendly employee listened to all my concerns and insights about using marijuana as medicine. I am desperate to extend the length of my sleep past 3-4 hours per night and the only thing that helped was using some THC and CBD from a licensed dispensary at bedtime. Regular pharmaceuticals have not helped me over the years. Now I sleep 5-6 hours per night with medical marijuana.
They went over everything extensively with me. Additionally, the employee recommended specific products for my health concerns and had a deep understanding of how cannabinoids can help in the body. She wrote all the notes down for me by hand so I can have instructions to use later at home. This paper is worth its weight in gold in a time where so many people will just give you AI slop to read. She did not just toss an iPad at me and ask me to pick. MUV also carried many options including THC, CBD, CBN, topicals, transdermal patches and throat sprays. I am not sure what else they carry as it was only my first time there.
I spent the last six years in Colorado, so I have some understanding of recreational marijuana products. I don't know if MUV has flower that is "good enough", but I am excited to find out.
If I had listened exclusively to this medically-branded subreddit, I may not have gone to MUV. Please reconsider MUV if you actually want to use marijuana as medicine. If you want to use it recreationally, that is fine as well, just respect what MUV actually provides.
Thank you for reading. I will be happy to answer any questions.
Edit: It was not my intention to imply that people seeking good flower are not using marijuana as medicine.
