420 Fire Department - Santa Ana, CA - 7 Stars

**Please Note: Very recently the Lounge has been shut down. It may come back at some point, but for now it is not in action.**

Environment 2: 420 Fire Department is the Nuggetry\ Chubbs clinic now since CPA got shut down a good while ago. This spot is located in Santa Ana. From the outside it doesn't look like much and parking is kind of a bitch. Once you go inside that all changes. Similarly to the old CPA the waitingroom is massive. Check in was quick, the dudes working were cool - straight to the point. I was met at the door to the budroom by my bud tender who walked me down the hall to the bud room and gave me the run-down. 
  


I was immediately shown the lounge. The Lounge is about a 20x20 room with couches, tables, chairs TV's, Dab rigs, bongs, torches, lighters, hemp wicks etc ALL for your enjoyment. Really awesome. It felt very relaxed and chill there, a total Coffee Shop vibe. The budtender even told me, if you come in with a friend and only one of you purchases something, you can both chill and use the lounge facilities. Pretty sweet. 

The bud room is very organized, everything labeled. Everything super clean from the front to the back. They run a tight ship here. Bravo.


Staff 1.5: Good staff. The guys working were all cool, tried to give me a good experience. I did feel a little rushed which sucks, especially since it was my first time and I want to check everything out...just doing my job boys! I wasn't hit in the face with science and facts but I also wasn't fed a bunch of a bullshit. Chubs was even there serving people up...A lot of the guys in there were a bit star struck as Chubbs is a bit of a legend down here! Good stuff!




Variety 1: They have a decent selection - about 5 hybrids, 5 sativas, 5 indicas. Lots of high end edibles, clones, lots of high end wax. No low end here - everything is top shelf. I didnt see any CBD stuff but there was a topicals. Considering the quality, a really good variety. Would be nice to see some midshelf stuff here for those of us on a budget. 

Quality 2: Even though nothing is lab tested, you can tell everything they sell is high quality. You don't have to worry about getting some bunk ish from here.
 This shop is all about the dabs. They have some really nice shatter available. Its pricey...but as good as it gets. The flowers all looked good. I tried 4 different strains, all were good. Potent. Not super smooth, but not harsh either. 


Price .5: $50 8ths.  50$-100$ a g for concentrates.  $15+ for most edibles. No mid shelf. price wise, this place kind of sucks...but considering you can get some good topshelf and go chill with your buddies in the lounge, it CAN be worth it depending on what kind of experience you are looking for. FTP is a free G of what ever flower you want. so 4g's for $50 of some bomb...not to bad if you wanted to give them a shot and maybe say whats up to chubs. 

I really liked this spot. If it was more affordable I'd be all over it. But, its OC and they are doing what they can right now. The lounge is awesome, I'll definitely take all of my out of town buddies here to kick it. Cant complain about the quality of buds, but if you are going to charge $50, it would be cool to get lab results. Other than that they have good service, and the spot is imaculately clean. Chubbs is a OOOG and it shows.
