Budtender David Got Featured on Leaf Nation and We’re Stoked

by | Jun 10, 2025

You know we keep it humble around here… but sometimes you gotta brag a little.

Our very own David just got featured as Budtender of the Month over at Leaf Nation, and honestly? We’re still buzzing.

If you’ve ever been helped by David, you already know what’s up. He’s got that rare combo of cannabis know-how, chill energy, and the kind of memory that somehow keeps track of your favorite strain, your go-to edible, and the time you brought your cousin in for the first time.

David started out as a VRC customer. He loved the vibe so much, he joined the team. Now he’s four years in, recently promoted to shift lead, and clearly making waves beyond the shop.

“I used to feel like a kid in a candy shop every time I walked in,” he said in the article.

Now he’s the one making the experience sweet for everyone else.

David is an essential team member at VRC. He’s been with us for nearly 4 years, has been promoted to shift lead, and continues to level up while staying true to what matters: good vibes, good weed, and good people.

Wanna know what David suggests for the month of June? Check out David’s and the other Budtenders’ Choices of the month.

We’re proud of you, David.

And if we had a Budtender trophy lying around… well, let’s just say it’d already have your name on it.
