109 Reviews of Thomas C. Slater Compassion Center
Very nice staff. Not the biggest fan of the arrangement with the computers then the big lobby booth hall. The prices of flower/quality aren’t great yet. Mass has way more bang for your buck. RI will learn soon, this is the first of many stores and they’ll probably improve when there’s more competition.
