Don't miss Sunday fun day! Its nice to see some haze around. This was an overall good experience with fun incentives to come back. Would be nice to promote self sufficiency more, please have clones in the future.

This place was great! Numerous friends had recommended so I had to check it out. Definitely worth it to me to drive here instead of staying in my neighborhood. Staff makes you feel right at home, flowers were very nice, edibles almost too good.

I have been going here for over a year and it is hands down the most professional place in the city! Great staff and most of all ~ compassionate and knowledgeable!

This was my very first time going to a dispensary and it was a great experience with visiting here. They had alot of choices and I was given alot of information from the staff in regards to my conditions and what would be beneficial to myself. I have since tried them and they work great! I will be back soon.

this is the first dispensary I went to after I got my oh em /em /p card.when you walk in the door you are greeted by a smiling face and the people in the back are very very knowledgeable about the medication they provide. The first time I went I had no idea what I was doing but they helped me out so much I told them what I needed it for and they picked out two that were just perfect for me. I rely on their judgment and that they have the best product/medications there is out there. It is so clean and run so professionally I am amazed. I wish all the dispensaries / collective we're like this. I went to one where I watched a couple of the employees medicate at the front counter where you donate for your medications. Another one was across the hall and they both when they were done medicating left and drove away. My understanding is that is not what you are supposed to do. I would recommend collective awakenings to anyone who is looking for a knowledgeable clean friendly fun dispensary to go to this is the one for you. Thank you all at collective awakenings for being who you are and what you do.

Tyson and the crew at CA have it dialed in! They test all of their meds and are very knowledgeable! They know their stuff. The place is very clean, they have a very plush waiting area for non card holders. Everyone is super friendly... I have been in 4 times and have come away with a free joint twice. I drive all the way from sellwood passing a half dozen other spots on the way. Great people, great meds... Great place.

Not only was this my first time here, I was very new to the med card. Everyone I came in contact with was very nice, and very helpful. The gentleman who helped me at the med counter was very patient, very informative, and made me feel very comfortable in a very uncomfortable situation for me. For a first time experience this is a wonderful place to start and continue. The only thing negative I could say is the place could use a bit of a remodel. I found it to be a little to dark, and the atmosphere made me feel like I needed to hide why I was there.

This place is amazing! I have been here many times before & never once have I had a bad experience. The people inside are very knowledgeable & nice, the medicine is great quality. I would defiantly.

BEST PLACE IN PORTLAND--HANDS DOWN!!
Today was my first visit to Collective Awakenings and the place was super clean, comfortable, and smelled nice. Staff was very knowledgeable and friendly, got greeted as soon as I walked in the door. Very discrete and great one on one with the tender. I wasn't feeling rushed or "in the way". Wonderful selection of meds! Big variety of flowers and concentrates that actually do the trick and tons of yummy yummy medibles that work just as great as the flowers! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone I meet! Going back there as many times as I can, Best place in Portland--Hands Down!!

Collective Awakenings is a wonderful resource. The people who work there are friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. They have a lot to choose from, and I always find just what I need.

I had the pleasure of visiting collective awakenings for the first time today and I can't say enough how impressed I was. I have been a patient for about two months already, mostly been clubhopping, hadn't quite found the selection I was looking for around the city and heard about this place from a fellow patient. The location looked a little seedy when I was walking up but. inside the clinic was really nice and well lit with hardwood floors and comfortable chairs in the waiting area. It was a little busy but they had a tv going so that was nice. Once I got in, I was immediately greeted and the staff was really nice, but the real highlight was the selection of greenery they had. Some really really nice fruity strains, I was super impressed once I got home and tried them out . All in all a ten out of ten, will definitely be going back on the regular if they keep up that kind of quality.

On a recent afternoon, I visited 5 different shops to compare each of them. Collective Awakenings won the contest, hands down. Best selection & quality of meds, tons of medibles, great people. I have been back every week since and have yet to be disappointed. Great vibe & atmosphere, five stars!

The absolute best, and it only gets better. Out of the 9-10 places in town I've tried, this is my #1. Amazing quality medicine at reasonable donations, outstanding variety and their stock rotates frequently. The 'tenders are always amazingly friendly and knowledgeable - any issues I have they know just the right thing to take care of it. I'm in love.

Normally i am not the type to write a review (especially on these websites), but after coming here and seeing the ones already posted i felt i had to. How in the world people are marking this place down for quality of medicine is beyond me, every time i go i can find AT LEAST a couple strains that are fantastic and tasty, and they usually have some pretty nice specials going too. Anybody who has gone to the clubs regularly knows that the majority of any green in any club is going to just "eesh", not every strain is going to be a winner. That being said, i have never left collective awakenings completely disappointed. Sure, there might have been a time when i had to settle with just one or two awesome strains, but is that really so bad? I have had the exact same experience at different clubs that had three or four times the number of strains available, but as we all know quantity will never beat quality;) Fridays can get a little crazy there so i usually avoid it on the weekends, but if you are looking to pick up some excellent bud you cant go wrong here. Service is always great here, really friendly staff. Only negative thing i can think of is that parking sometimes bites the big one (took me forever to realize they had a back parking lot, and im still not sure if i am allowed to park there) but hey welcome to Portland. All in all this place is one of my favorites, if you haven't gone yet make the trip!

Does not test no matter what they say I was totally disapointed

These reviews speak for themselves. Wow!
Truly feel that this is the finest dispensary in Portland, proper. Wish I lived closer.
From the best selection of flowers to concentrates to edibles -- virtually anything you could possibly need or imagine is here..
Nice packaging / labeling.
Lastly, but maybe most important.. the staff is incredible. Very welcoming and very helpful.. just enthusiastic people w/ an upbeat mood.
Just a very comfortable spot, folks. From the waiting room to the back room, this venue offers a unique consumer experience!

If you are looking for a family friendly, professional enviornment look no further! Top quality meds and free joints every friday is just the start of what makes this dispensary more than just a dispensary, but also a family who will welcome any patient in need with open arms and profound knowledge of the medicine so the patient can get the best service for their needs!

Been to Collective Awakenings several times now and they are now my favorite walk-in dispensary. Meds are top notch (I would even say a bit above the rest) and priced the same as every other dispensary I've been to. There is always good variety, and the edibles here are definitely the best since they seem more homemade (meaning fewer funky ingredients, candies and baked goods are actually homemade rather than box mix) and stronger than others I've had.
Staff is always incredibly nice, chill, and fun to talk to, with great strain recommendations every time. I just wish they were open an hour later on weekdays since I live on the west side and the traffic makes it impossible to get here after work by 6pm!

If it's the finest flower you're after, look no further: Collective Awakenings specializes in some of the most potent, aromatic weed you are going to find in a PDX dispensary. The staff are all warm and respectful, engaged and knowledgeable; the space is beautiful and organized. While I wouldn't mind a greater variety in cartridge selection, they do carry Select (Strains), which is high quality and reliable in my experience.
