Hey! Several staff members of GGR have been accused (and confirmed themselves) to have assaulted customers, specifically those who visit their venue, The Hippie Hole. The owner is included, but he hasn’t confirmed or denied his allegations either way.

I was SA’d by someone deeply associated with GGR back in January of this year after going to this venue for a few months. After I went public with my experiences in May, several other victims came forward, and staff members of GGR attempted to silence us. There is far more to my story than that, but that’s all I’m willing to publicly share on social media.

Please support better businesses. There are other smoke shops worth supporting in Denton. GGR isn’t the only one. Weed SHOULD be decriminalized, and legalized, but we need better faces of that movement instead of people with morally duplicitous tendencies.

EDIT TO ADD:

Thank you all for your supportive words. There are other victims of this company whose voices haven’t been heard. I hope they can come forward someday, when they’re ready. Targeting vulnerable people is NEVER okay, and this company’s actions have proven them to be dangerous to associate with. I learned the hard way that not every person in spaces such as theirs can be trusted. No one should face the same pain and trauma that such an act can cause.

Originally, I didn’t recommend alternatives to GGR, as I didn’t want the purpose of my comment to become an advertisement. I currently shop at D8 Denton and Zebra Head, but I no longer partake in social gatherings where substances and alcohol are consumed en masse; ie create an environment where vulnerable individuals can be assaulted. I don’t recommend ANY spaces for that purpose. You should only consume substances with people you trust, or alone. NEVER with strangers. Please ensure your safety, and keep your friends safe as well.

To those who have messaged me privately with their experiences, I’m so sorry. You didn’t deserve that. None of us did and I hope justice can be served someday. For those who messaged me to ask for more details, I apologize for not responding. I’m not comfortable sharing more at this time. When I’m ready, I’d be happy to present my experiences in a safe, secure environment.

That’s all I’m going to add to my comment. Have a fantastic Friday the 13th everyone!
