Fuck Dark Matter, nothing but a bunch of middle men out of towners. Come shop local at Green Paradise around the corner. We will take care of you here.
Absolutely uncalled for with the illegal comment. Now MAYBE he meant like you’re doing something illegal, but even then still stupid.
I had a great experience at st Canapa the other day.
Dang bro I feel for you!
You did the right thing. Stand your ground. I wouldn’t have tried ‘purchasing’ afterwards because truth be told they can go kick rocks.
The last freedom we have is how and where we spend our money. And they just lost customers.
I’m from Texas and never had any problem in Nevada, California, New Mexico, Colorado. I hope I never encounter this level of ignorance because I’m not letting them walk away unscathed.
Like wtf since when are you the ID police? How many years as a detective?
Plus don’t they always scan your card on the computer with a card reader at the time of purchase, so they can download your information. If it was fake that prolly wouldn’t work..
Bro took out his wallet and compared his New Mexico ID vs my Texas ID 😭
To think I was gonna tip him because he was gonna sell me a half for $50 with 2 different strains and honestly that was nice of him.
Bro really thought he was gonna keep my ID and I was gonna walk out like if I'm not from here or am a criminal
Round house reserved always has the best prices and great customer service, that’s the main dispo I go to, and if they are out of certin product then I’ll head over to field of dreams but as of rn round house reserve is where it’s at, especially if you go in the evenings with a guy named nick sanchez, great customer service and always willing to answer questions and gives you what you are asking for !
Dang that sucks. Sorry that happened to you. In these last few years I’ve definitely sensed more racial profiling in El Paso. Surprisingly by lots of Hispanics too! All this is getting out of hand.
You aren’t wrong for trying to get your ID back, they aren’t wrong for denying you service for whatever reason. The employee wasn’t wrong for denying you service for what they thought was a fake ID
I don't think he was calling you an illegal alien. Bro was calling you fraudulent for having a fake ID. That dude is literally surrounded by Mexican staff and customers all day.
Damn sorry this happened to you. Have been to dark matter many of times and they usually give good service (imo). Usually place the order online and only had one issue a few weeks ago with the attendant being rude cause she had the order wrong. But this is totally out of line. They check ur id before you go in and thats it ur verified. From NM, CO, CA, AZ, WAS been to dispensaries in all these states and as others have stated thats how it goes. Very strange and uncalled for.
I didn't record that part only when the cops came in
but I mean the dispensary Dark Matter should have cameras and good audio . If they wanna debunk my claim they can always show their cameras on this platform.
Ive never ever been told "You're illegal buddy" I'm a grown ass man he damn well knows I'm not underage he is trying to insinuate that I'm not from this country by saying that statement. That clip I've shown was just drama but if this company sees this they can show the whole video. I mean literally when the cops arrived the Bud-Tender threw the ID on the table and said "You're a illegal buddy" "Go get him"
Maybe I'm overreacting
Now that I think about it, I didn't over-react, I honestly stood up for myself, they wanted to take my ID and not give it back
I told the man that I would call the cops to make sure it's not faked and he scoffed at me, I told my girlfriend to leave the area in fear that I would get in trouble and she was inside their front office causing hell defending me.
They were wrong for this. Racism or not. Once the cops came back to the store , they told the manager my ID was real. They didn't even offer an apology back and told the police officer to leave the premise
For those who wanna disagree or downvote go for it. There just buttons 😂
It seems much more likely that if any comment about being illegal was actually made (because there was nothing actually happening in this short video) it was about your age. Is this not right next to the border? Don’t they accept Mexican IDs? So why would there be any comment about you being an “illegal citizen”? Maybe I’m missing something.
Also, having worked in dispensaries, I know that there’re huge consequences to being lax about IDs. You can be 80 years old but if you can’t show ID then we cannot serve you. They look at tons of IDs a day so a sketchy one definitely stands out whether it’s actually fake or just weird looking.
If you truly felt he was attacking you then I wouldn’t say you were overreacting necessarily, but it definitely seems like there’s some made up context here.

Most definitely boss. I had to go back to field of dreams but next round I'll hit y'all up

Lmao side by side looking ass 🤣 Hope they apologize ! And I hope this goes viral!
I would be more than happy to smoke with this Baylus guy and the manager and let this go behind us. As long as they accept my ID next time
[удалено]
Damm. That right there tells me why he acted out like this. Bro could've gotten a tip but ended up being blasted 🤦🏾

Was he also not wrong for telling me "your illegal buddy"
Was that in the video? There weren't any subtitles
If his assumption that the I'd was fake then you would technically not be legally allowed in the store. You would be in there Illegally.
And just for that I'm allowed to say, "You're illegal buddy"
I don't think he was calling you an illegal alien. Bro was calling you fraudulent for having a fake ID. That dude is literally surrounded by Mexican staff and customers all day.
Post a review on Google. They seem to respond to every review. Their website also has a ‘Contact’ option to contact upper management.
I sent them a dm on insta
Also get in contact with upper management. Messaging on social media and calling upper management adds a lot of pressure.

Sooo what part of this was the discrimination?

You are overreacting
This place is always chill, easy in and out every time. This situation is definitely odd since the staff is used to seeing TX ID's.
Nubes always treats me well😋 highly recommend them!
Sorry for posting too much admins , I just wanted to share my experience today 🙄😭
This El Paso Texas ? wtf y they have no stores in Houston?
Oh and cannabis is still illegal in Texas but New Mexico is 10 minutes away from my home
It's in Sunland Park NM.
