I used to go here all the time but I have now realized to be honest, this dispensary has some of the smallest buds in Portland, I mean they are good quality but very small and disappointing compared to what my grower can do and what other dispensaries can provide no problem. It says you guys strive to provide the highest level of patient services and care.. I have now been to about 6 other dispensaries, and thought this was my favorite, now it is on the bottom. I like big medicinal buds for my hard earned money. I love to donate and I would love good medicine in return and a little small talk that is comfortable and not to rush rush like a fast food restaurant. It's too many people all at once. It's like Boom boom in and out.. Great people.. Just too fast. I like it calm and collective. Hence the name collective awakening.. it should be more laid back just saying. No offense at all just being honest and I think you guys will do great in the future. Wishing you the best.

Of all the dispensaries I have visited, CA is by far the most friendly, knowledgeable and supportive staff in this town. Everyone greets me with smiles, always answers my never-ending questions and support my enthusiasm for advocacy. I feel part of a family of caring people - and have been visiting CA for two years. I appreciate their services and products very very much for my multiple sclerosis challenges.

I've got to say this is by far my favorite dispensary in the Portland area, the staff is not only excellent and nice to everyone but they are very knowledgable too. Their meds are some of the best on Portland as well and they also offer a wide variety of medication options! I recommend this dispensary for any patient looking for strong quality meds!

Haveing just recently got my referral I stopped by collective awakenings because it was a place my doctor recommended. I was pretty impressed with the selection, variety and helpfulness of the staff. They had an incredible selection of edibles and a very informative staff. Over the next couple days I went to several other places and did not find anywhere near the environment or selection they had there. I will continue to check out new places but they will differently be my main spot going forward.

I've been going here for over a year and the staff always makes me feel right at home. The sativa is great, and the service is excellent!

Just checked this place out last week and it was such a great experience. I believe Tyson helped me out and he is the man! Great selection of meds and by far the greatest customer service! It was definitely a pleasant experience and I recommend it to everyone! Fridays are great too!

Super professional shop! Very friendly receptionist and comfortable waiting area. They call you in one by one to get a personal bud tender in one of their 3-4 identical stations....which is very nice for privacy and attention. The bud tenders are knowledgable and kind. The meds are great here, from flowers to bho and medibles. This is my favorite dispensary in town for its combination of professional appearance, great atmosphere and great meds! Thanks again, Collective Awakenings!

Collective is the place to go in Portland. Staff has been super friendly to me from day one. Superior selection of an average 20 strains on hand. Great edibles, great quality meds. Staff is highly knowledgeable. You are making a mistake if you go elsewhere.

I found Collective Awakenings by accident a few months ago,and WOW am I glad I did! Staff is so friendly and helpful..really great people,they have a nice waiting room so too many people aren't in clammering for goodies all at once..and once you go inside! Oh My God..large selection of great bud..I have been introduced to a few that are now my favorites..(Hammer,Headband,Cin X....they always have something new and wonderful..their selection of edibles is huge..wonderful baked goods in the fridge..(one being a lemon blueberry pound cake that I adore ..!) they have these "pucks" which are like hard candies and they are very strong and very delicious..I found out the hard way not to keep popping them in my mouth..also other hard candies and lollypops as well as jolly rancher type things..chocolates,caramels etc..all that I have tried have been wonderful..Last time I was there they had maple bacon lollypops in the lollypop jar..and OMG..I'm just sorry I didn't get a few more because they are closed till Tuesday..mwomp mwomp..:(
They also have cannabutter as well as Rick Simpson Oil so you can make your own medibles if you desire....I have a friend who's husband is in end stage cancer ..I got some of the canna caps for him and they have been a God send ! His wife said they have been able to have lovely relaxing times ..pain free and happy when he takes the cannacaps..another friend is a disabled vet and has been on heavy pain meds for years..he is now taking cannacaps and is no longer taking all the pain meds which were assaulting his body with various side effects...anyway..I ramble...perhaps because I am enjoying some Durban Poison( another new fave!)..But this place is terrific!!

I've gone here several times and then just went when I've run out of meds, in case of emergency only. Last time I bought their top quality stuff and each time I'm really disappointed and kick myself for going back. I had bought some pineapple and remember lighting the bowl and the meds kept burning before you could grab another hit...joints burn down on own...The convenience of a dispensary you walk in is awesome for me rather than deal with setting up delivery but how can I go back?

I love this place. The minute you walk in the door you are welcomed and comforted and the staff is always there to assist you. Thank you to those who've paved the way to make a place like this possible.

This is the most festive, informative dispensary in Portland, Or. They have great perks, the best medibles in town and a well informed group of people who can help you make the best decisions for your medicine. Go on Fridays for a fun surprise!! The nicest staff in town create a great vibe as soon as you get buzzed through to the interior space where the goodies reside!!

Collective Awakenings is my favorite dispensary in Portland! The staff is great, a very friendly crew. Their flowers are always fresh - the concentrates are nice and clean - and their edible selection rocks. And on top of it the place is fun - hit them up on a Wednesday and spin the wheel! There are lots of shops in Portland, but CA is my favorite, hands down!

Collective Awakenings is the best in PDX & I've been to most every single resource center to see which are worth returning to and which to cross off my list but C.A. is definitely my home away from home. Because the staff at C.A. are very friendly, compassionate people & are genuinely happy to answer any question you may have. And every form of medicine that they have are of great quality with nothing substandard on the shelves and everything is of great medicinal value. So even if you are a longtime OMMP cardholder or just getting started C.A. is going to be the place that you should definitely give a try because you, like me, will be glad you did.

Collective Awakenings, is the only place I seek meds from. It is by far my favorite, they have A+ meds, no door fee, great friendly educated staff. It is a joy rather than a chore.

Collective Awakenings has always provided the quality and consistency needed when dealing with medication. I appreciate their staff, that treats my husband as well as his caregiver with respect and courtesy. I trust their assessments and testing on their medication. Donation price is fair as well. I recommend this business to all who are in search of a honest dispensary, without any of the drama of some of the others.

This is my favorite dispensary in Portland Or. Yaz helped us yesterday. She is very friendly and enthusiastic about her products. I brought two friends with me and we also went to four other dispensaries that day. We were on a little dispensary tour. We all agreed that your location is our favorite overall. From the amazing lobby with a lizard to stare at! To the amazing customer service that Yaz and the staff provide. I look be the edible selection. I only got a lollipop this time, it was Ginger Ale flavored. Yum. I will always come here. Also the sweet gal at the front desk, laminated our cards for free.

Good dispensary haven't been here much but I left satisfied the last time. So I will return!

Horrible customer service for the first time and just for that I will not be back! it should be about the patients!

A safe clean environment with knowledgeable friendly staff. Outstanding Selection of Flowers, extracts, edibles and more. Flowers are tested for potency qualities and if I remember correct tested for insects and mold. Clean quality medicine, perfect. For Sativa I recommend Blue Dream( Grown and cured to perfection- every time) and Rose City Haze ( Wonderful energetic effects ). A class of it's own that caters to peoples medicinal needs for the right reasons. Make the time to come down. I get medicine for my patient who is family and would go nowhere else since Collective Awakenings has THE BEST QUALITY AND SELECTION and am concerned if she does not know exactly what medicine suits her ailments best. I am telling you this is it right here- COLLECTIVE AWAKENINGS. From your favorite Pizza Prep Cook and Drummer nerd, Cheers!
