Waave has been in the game since the early days of Maryland’s Cannabis industry and has been one of the only dispensaries in the Greenbelt area for years. Luckily for Greenbelt, Waave’s tight-knit team has been holding it down at the store. They offer a ton of different deals pretty much every day of the week, and they host fun events around the store for various holidays. Our visit fell on a Wheel Wednesday, when customers who spend $50 or more can spin a prize wheel. Prizes include 20% off your order, Waave swag, $2 infused pre-rolls and more. Head out to the store on June 21 for Waave Fest!
Setting and Vibe
Beyond the ID checkpoint is a room with self-service kiosks for browsing the menu and ordering on the fly. The space also features brand installations, artwork and a Pac-Man machine for customers to play. The entire staff at this store is extremely welcoming and inviting to everyone who walks through the door. Greeting customers on a first-name basis is a major takeaway from our visit, as they greeted people coming through the doors constantly.
Flower
Waave does a ton of in-house packing of flower from various brands, ensuring freshness and moisture content by including a Boveda pack in each Mylar. This is pretty much as close to deli style as Maryland’s market is going to get, and we know it’s missed. During their happy hour on Tuesdays and Thursdays, they have eighths as low as $20 for some top-tier flower. On Mondays and Wednesdays, they do early bird deals, so be sure to stay on top of what deals are being run on which days.
Concentrate
We scrolled and scrolled through the kiosk, eying the concentrate menu, and it really seemed endless. There were nearly 100 different options for concentrate during our visit, and they keep their menu stocked like this regularly. It made me happy to see eight different strains of hash available from various processors. If you’ve yet to dive into some of the hash options available in Maryland, consider that your next pickup.
Edibles
Gummies, drinks and chocolates are some of the most frequent forms of edibles found on Waave’s menu. They also have tablets, tinctures and baked goods in a wide variety of cannabinoid options. Seltzers from Sunnies and sodas from Keef are readily available in all the fruit and cola flavors we know and love. If you’re new to edibles, ask the budtenders here for a recommendation based on your desired goals or effects.
Product Review
Wedding Cake from Fade Co. (House-Packed)
29.97% Total Cannabinoids and 1.81% Total Terpenes
Fade Co. flower has been a staple in my stash since the brand first came on the market, and their product has stayed consistently fire since. True to its name, this strain has a cake-like aroma with hints of gassy cologne on the back end. I use this strain to unwind after a long day and find it helps relieve pain and stress at the same time. Even the smaller-sized buds were perfect to break down by hand and roll into a joint.
