DONT BUY THE FLOWER! Almost every strain at this dispensary is a hermie and is loaded with undeveloped seeds! They will not disclose this but if you buy from here, break your flower up good and take a close look. This is a major problem in the Phoenix area and it's proliferated by untrustworthy places like this! Service is good and edibles and concentrates are ok but stay away from their flower!

Eh. Was my go to place til today. Got an 8th of Pinapple Chunk.(2 x1.75) on recommendation of budtender. Buds were hard and resinous and wouldn't burn without stoking it. So I took the other 1.75 back to trade it for something what would burn like it is supposed to. Nope. Manager sent me on my way telling me to grind it up. Wrong answer. If you're trying that hard to save 15 bucks you must have plenty of other customers. You won't miss me.

tried six different flowers and they were all terrible. Not medical quality, hardly had any effect, zero flavor, not even properly dried. Rolled a joint and it tasted like a wet dirty bathroom floor. zero stars for quality if I could. Will never be back.

Disappointed with the new staff. Been a patient here for a long time and every visit me and my roommate go together because she has extreme anxiety, I go help her pick what she needs. For the first time ever I was told that only 1 of us could go back at a time. And then eventually we both go back with different bud tenders and the bud tender helping me was extremely rude and pushy, asking multiple times “if I was done or just there to look around”. It’s frustrating that swc put all of their time and efforts into the new building and lost their customer service. Probably not coming back when I can go down the road for better medicine and people.

positive constructive criticism... Work on growing better weed.

Nice atmosphere, very friendly workers but absolute trash product. Came in for my ftp today to check it out, bought an 8th of alchemy and this stuff is literally so dry it's falling apart in my fingers... not impressed.

Have not been here yet, was possibly going to come give it a shot today, but after reviewing on leafly their menu and specials updates haven't been updated since what appears to be early September 2017 so if they can't keep up with something this easy, they must not keep their inventory or product serious.. So I'm not going to give it a chance..

Most dispensaries around the valley are getting cheaper but seems these guys go in the opposite direction. Dry flower, long waits, and bad prices. All they really got going for them is location in a busy area/by campus.

I guess For having a dispensary in Tempe justifies them in charging high prices, first time Patient specials seem a little weak. I am not recommending this place to anyone.

Went in to buy some quality concentrates and purchased some "Squeeze" brand shatter. When I got home I noticed the THC content is 55%. How can you even sell this at $40 a gram when numerous other places offer quality (80+%) THC for $25-30 a gram.

TERRIBLE dispensary with mediocre product, high provides and bad service. Going to get your meds shouldn't make you have a bad day. Go ANYWHERE else!!!

first AND last time at this dispensary. The waiting room was full - 12 ppl when I walked in. reception was answering 2 phones and had to wait to give my card. Only 2 budtenders and it took over 30 mins to jyst go back - ridiculous! Hire more staff SWC.... the 2 I talked with said the same thing...too long of a wait for so few people.

I was so happy when I saw that I lived 10 minutes walking distance to a dispensary. I was helped fast and saw a bud tender in less than 5 minutes of checking in. The service and the people that work there were awesome but the flower quality is horrible!! They have beautiful buds on display but that's not the flower you go home with. The quality is equivalent to back yard home grow. They are deceiving as the product shown to you is better quality than when you order it and receive it. If you like good meds I would not recommend this place.

Not that I mind a small shop, but their layout sucks. The bud is all mid-grade at best and they're a little sales-like pushy. I'm a solid sativa user, 99.999% of the time, and I tell them this and they keep trying to push indica on me. Look, as much as this is a business, you're a pharmacy. When I know what works for me, learn to work with it, not try and push me into what I don't want.

This dispensary has quickly gone from being my favorite and only dispensary I would go to for months to one I only go to when absolutely necessary. They are ALWAYS understaffed, constantly advertise that they are running deals that they aren’t running, give different deals to different people and more. You walk into the waiting room on a day loaded with deals and they have 3 people sitting at a desk staring at computers doing absolutely nothing while only 4 of their 8 budtender computers are not being used. I used to get a 15% student discount, my friends have always got 10%, but as of a few months ago, I am now being told there is no longer a student discount, while several of my friends continue to receive 10% off. A current deal they are advertising is two 1000mg of Timeless for $160. Their normal price of Timeless is 1000mg for $72 - which would be 2 for $144, which is far less than $160 even after tax, so this “deal” is actually just an absolute rip-off. Absolutely terribly run dispensary that refuses to listen to or respond to customer feedback. I will only ever go back when they are running deals nobody else is compteting with. The tree in the waiting room is cool though.

Really terrible flower, tasted harsh and left a very unpleasant campfire like after taste in your mouth. The trim job was terrible and the flower had that spongy feel that they get after being bone dry and then slightly rehydrated. Very weak high if much at all, a complete waste of money. I wish I would have gone literally anywhere else this stuff is not fit for a trash can.

i really do like the flower but my only complaint is that everything is super dry. i value a nice soft sticky bud! i've frequented this location many times and every strain i've ever had, has been so dry i don't even need a grinder because it crumbles in my fingertips. solve this issue and i'll never go anywhere else!

Small waiting area, buds were dry, got some critical hog and coughed for five minutes thought I was smoking hay! Got the free 1/8 for spending 50$ so I feel like I wasn't totally ripped off. And yes people try any other dispensary that have sealed plastic bags and you will notice the difference the buds here are as dry as the Arizona Desert.
