Opening in July 2023, Story makes affordable, top-tier cannabis easy to find in Silver Spring. The company has four stores in the state of Maryland and is responsible for some of our favorite brands, like Fade Co. and Just Flower. Because of this, they have an impressive collection of strains, making it a destination dispensary for flower you haven’t been able to find elsewhere. It always helps when you can feel good about where you buy your Cannabis, and Story is a great group of people working hard to improve our industry.
Setting and Vibe
The staff here were all smiles as they showed me around the store, laughing and making jokes with each other and customers. It always creates a more comfortable environment when the budtenders can include other people in their conversations. Once customers are welcomed inside, they are greeted by a colorful wall of products displayed behind the counter. The budtenders are extremely well-versed in Maryland’s product lineup, making great recommendations to those who need a little assistance.
Flower
Given the affiliation with Fade Co. and Just Flower, this is the largest variety I have seen of those brands in any one store. Of course, they carry every other hot brand and new strain hitting the market, too. They have so many strains at this store that if you pull up their menu online and scroll through the flower section, your finger will get tired before you reach the bottom of the list.
Concentrates
To name a few items that got me excited while looking at the concentrate menu, they had Froot by the Foot live badder from Organic Remedies Maryland, Jenny D live budder from Beezle Extracts, Texas Shoreline live sugar from Grassroots and so much more. They also have a solid selection of shatter, which is extremely affordable for new dabbers looking to enter this product category.
Edibles
One thing I noticed about the edible menu at Story is the strong depth per individual product line. For each edible, they had different flavors, potencies and cannabinoid ratios. Nine different flavors of Betty’s Eddies were on the menu, and 11 different flavors of the Wyld gummies everyone has come to love.
Product Review
Rainbow Guava Flower from Fade Co.
33.55% Total Cannabinoids and 1.496% Total Terpenes
Crossing Rainbow Belts and Strawberry Guava was beyond enough to get me excited about this flower. Fade Co. has been extremely consistent with good-looking, smelling, tasting and feeling weed, and this was no exception. The 3.5-gram bag had one big, dense nugget inside of a gorgeous, light green, trichome-coated flower. This batch was a battle between the gelato-like terpene profile and the fruity strawberry and guava profile, creating a fruity, gassy, delicious blend.
