Went there for an advertised special of 5g of sauce for $95. Only had one strain in grams and then they had another in half grams. Two strains to choose from. On top of that they tried giving me live resin for a substitute and said they ran out of the sauces. What the? The sale started one day ago. Don’t waste your time. This dispensary blows. EDIT: THIS IS THE ONLY DISPENSARY THAT CHARGES YOU 2.5 GRAMS PER GRAM OF WAX THAT THEY PURCHASE. I FOUND OUT THE HARD WAY. FIRST TIME IN 5 YEARS HAVE I EVER HAD THIS HAPPEN. BUYER BEWARE. OTHER DISPENSARIES CHARGE YOU ACTUAL WEIGHT. I LOOKED AT ALL MY PURCHASES AS THEY FINESSED ME 12.5 on a 5 gram purchase. Insane.

They will rip you off by selling wet flower. They keep it very moist and heavy. Drug dealer tactics. Not from a patient to a patient. All lies. Should be audited and shut down.

I’m so sad. Desert bloom used to be my go to dispensary. Recently....during my last 3 visits....they are purposely not updating their Leafly menu to pull “bait and switch “ techniques when customers come in looking for strains on the menu. I still enjoy the majority of the staff, but will not be back until they stop deceptive marketing practices and apologize to their customers.

I really dont like getting taken advantage of. If you are gonna have a different allotment setup for concentrates than anywhere else in town you should let patients know that before purchase. Now im screwed until friday on my allotment. Not only that I asked for lower priced flower and the budtender pulled out there highest priced flower and sold that to me as if it was cheap. this caused me to hit the atm. 3.50$ waste. I brought a certain amount and i called and checked first . Waste of money. All the other places I go still do 1 for 1 g of concentrates. skip this place.

This place was the absolute worst! Never coming back $86 wasted their weed is fucking trash like it smells off and the color of it doesn’t even seem right you have to smoke a lot of it to feel something from it so it’s weak as shit and by the looks of it might actually be a little bit molded and I’m being serious avoid this place I legitimately got sick off of their strains. If you wanna go somewhere good go to D2 dispensary or the green halo

Used to be my go-to place - actually the ONLY place I used to frequent. Stopped in today for the first time in a year and I feel like I just drove out there to throw money away.
Their shatter is a joke. A JOKE people!! Bought 4 grams for $100, I'll be able to salvage maybe a gram when all is said and done. The most expensive gram of shitty quality oil I'll ever buy. Essentially just paid $100 for some scraps of sticky wax paper.
I know that dispensaries obviously can't do returns or refunds but when I called to let them know how disappointed I was with the product, all they did was "make a note of it." I spent like $200 in there today and feel like a total effing fool for even trying them again.
As a patient, I feel ripped off and undervalued.
As someone who works in customer relations, I'm appalled by this dispensary and its policies now compared to what it once was.
As someone who does need a card but maybe not to the degree others do, I fear for those patients whose well-being relies on the integrity of Desert Bloom Re-Leaf.
NOT AT ALL for patients by patients - what a joke.
East-siders.... if you still prefer dispensary over delivery, Green Med on Tanque Verde is all-around fantastic! You'll pay less, feel respected, and get your money's worth.

not has a racist apperance and customer service was rude no information given deals are not great like other places theres a black dog with an evil look god forbid it gets ticked and hurts someone also had no service tags on the animal to prove reassurance would waste more time explaining about the dog then the actual medication ....grown room does have any imsects or dog germs ??

They give false information about being able to work with the price point I’m at (cancer patient) but ended up with frustration tears and one damn strain. Place is such a joke when they can’t even keep their word.

Bait & Switch asked for Shark Shock which came up $6gr, told Budtender only had $20 and needed as much as I could get. Went to pay and only had 1.53 grams and it came to $19.95 they said it was only their SS strain that was $6 but didn't tell me they had 2 strains with the same name.

I paid $17 for a single preroll that had a pinch of kief in it. After two small puffs, the contents of said preroll fell completely out of the rolling paper, and landed in a dirty ashtray. It had been powderized to the point of being dust by whomever made it. I've had enough of this half-assed nonsense.

The bud tenders aren’t intelligent. They just showed me the highest thc percentage(which looked like garbage) and a bunch of shake for everything i asked about.
October 21, 2018

So the SG purple mr nice guy I was told was a bit dry. Which I was ok with for the price. What I was not told was that I would be basically using it as a filler for the other weed I bought No buzz whatsoever from it. The SG shark shock wasn’t much better. Although it does give a body high. Not much else. And I basically had to smoke my weight in it to feel a buzz. Disappointed.
First time patient and basically got the second eighth for free. But I don’t even want it for free. Wish I would have just gone to the Green Halo like I usually do.

I was referred the grease monkey for my ailment- I paid 13$ a gram and it made me cough, out of a freshly cleaned(with 4/20 solution) piece. I have had the GSC from here and I will say it was on par as far as taste and affect. The nugs weren’t what I would expect for the highest shelf.

I am writing this review in regards to a pretty bad experience I’ve had within this dispensary. There is a guy with glasses, full on beard/facial hair, red headed who always seems to have a bad attitude. And i always seem to get this guy as my bud tender. My last situation i came in an asked about an item on the menu-a ‘peanut butter sandwich’ to be exact. Curious as to the wording i asked what exactly it was an i got a very sarcastic and almost annoyed response from this bud tender-“Have you ever seen a nutter butter? Just like that bro...”
Then the very next day i called to speak to a manager about the situation and the ensuing review. I was told by a woman manager with either an Arabic or Hispanic accent that i would receive a ‘$50 credit’ to make up for the situation. I came in to redeem said credit only to be told they never added it and whatever “manager” i had spoken too didn’t exist. All around really terrible business practices for something that’s supposed to be for the patients. If you ask me these guys are just drug dealers with a store. In addition to this review I’ll be filing a right to protest with the county to warn other card holders beginning Monday the 17th outside of the store. See you folks then!

Dope chill relaxed setting with good service. It’s your loss if you don’t roll with them

love the shop love most of the staff but... the cashier Christie has got to go. I have discussed with multiple customers in the lobby how passive-aggressive she is and rude she sounds to her customers. and makes a nasty comment about the wildfire victims in California when I donated my change to it.

This place has always been a mess and nothing's changed. Taking advantage of patients for years now. Worse staff ever. They definitely don't want to be there. Dirty and old products. I've bought some of the worse old wax I've ever had from here. I've been shorted change. Hung up on. Don't waste your money or time people. Don't get taken advantage of.

Everything, not a single good thing. Nothing gets better here. They treat their employees like shit, their employees treat us like shit(patients/customers). They don't care about quality. They're too stoned to help us or themselves. Just pathetic and sad. I would be happy to hear that this dispensary closed up. Then maybe all the people working there could get the help they need and funding would stop going to such a corrupt business.
Long story short, there are other dispensaries. I wouldn't advise using this one.

First time there. It was awesome Chauncey helped me out and was on point. Great herb ill be back next week!

I usually like it here but after being rushed and treated like a burden by the female budtender I will not spend my money here anymore I drove all the way out here and had $$$ to spend she was rude and acted like I was retarded, well I am disabled and sometimes it takes awhile to decide, I’m sick of people in out community who don’t understand mental illness, I have PTSD as my qualifying condition and so do a lot of others, I think you should train staff more( this was actually the only time I have felt like I was a burden maybe it was just her, and maybe I’m over reacting she could be having a bad day but shit my whole day is screwed because I’m so angry and humiliated) it was one of my fav places but not returning if she is there. Have a good day.

Unfortunately, I had to drive 9 extra miles to a common sense dispensary. I was turned away at this location 6/1, as a new patient.
I explained that even though my card was expired yesterday, 5/31, my renewal was approved and shows up as good through 2020.
When you swipe my card, it shows GREEN; this means that I am OK to purchase until my new card arrives.
Fortunately for me, another dispensary 9 miles away understands the law and how to read a screen.
Disappointed and won't return, even when my new card arrives. I'll drive the extra 9 miles as a new loyal customer elsewhere.
