In a hilarious turn of events that perfectly captures the essence of cannabis culture, local resident Mike Thompson spent nearly three hours wandering aimlessly through Sacramento’s streets while searching for The Sanctuary – despite standing directly in front of the premium cannabis dispensary for most of that time.
A Tale of Hidden-in-Plain-Sight Humor
“Man, I kept checking my phone’s GPS, and it kept saying I was right there,” Thompson explained, still chuckling about his adventure. “I called my buddy like fifteen times asking for directions, and he kept saying ‘Just look up.’ Turns out I was literally leaning against their window display the whole time.”
The Sanctuary, serving cannabis enthusiasts throughout Sacramento, Roseville, Citrus Heights, Represa, Folsom, and West Sacramento, has become known for its premium selection of CBD and THC products. However, this particular incident has given their staff something new to smile about.
Notable Moments During The Great Search:
- Asked three passing pedestrians where to find “that sanctuary place”
- Called an Uber driver to help locate the store (who dropped him off exactly where he was standing)
- Ordered a pizza to his location, hoping the delivery driver could help
- Actually went home to “restart his search with a fresh perspective”
The incident has sparked a new local trend, with customers jokingly pretending not to see the store when arriving. The Sanctuary’s staff has embraced the humor, even creating a “You Are Here” sidewalk marking for their more directionally challenged patrons.
A Happy Ending
“When I finally realized where I was, I couldn’t stop laughing,” Thompson admitted. “The staff was super cool about it, though. They even gave me a complimentary bottle of CBD oil – probably to help with my obvious stress from all that walking.”
The Sanctuary continues to serve as a beacon (quite literally, in Thompson’s case) for cannabis enthusiasts throughout the greater Sacramento area. Their extensive selection of products ensures that customers find exactly what they’re looking for – assuming they can find the store first.
Remember folks: sometimes the best things in life are right in front of you. Literally. Just remember to look up from your phone occasionally.
