Green Goddess Collective - Venice

Clean & friendly. Parking Sucks but that Venice for you. The Staff Rocks🤘

I just received my Med card, and this was my first ever dispensary experience. I approached the counter, a little nervous, and explained that this was my first time. The two receptionists were very nice, handed me forms to fill out, and told me to have a seat. Unfortunately, all of the seats were taken at that time and I had to stand as well as a few other patrons. But it did seem like people were coming and going at a decent pace. I waited about 30 minutes. They even offered an express room for those in a hurry. When it was finally my turn, I opted to go upstairs. I was handed a number ticket and a ticket for a free welcome gift. When I got upstairs, I wasn't sure what to do. I looked around for a minute, a little confused as to why no one had asked me if I needed help yet, before I realized the number ticket was for me to wait until my number is called (Duh!). When it was my turn, the clerk asked me what she could get for me. I told her it was my first time, she welcomed me and got very excited. She explained the menu, told me to look at it for a second. She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable of the products. She helped me pick out a wax (even asked if I had a dabber yet, which I didn't and she sold me one that they had for $5) and two different strains. One of which was a spotlight strain, which meant I got 4.2 an eighth instead of 3.5. And I picked the brownie for my gift. After I made my purchase, she told me about the rewards program they have and wished me luck. I left with a huge smile, despite the semi-chaotic waiting room (which seems to be everyone's biggest complaint).

The staff was super helpful and knowledgeable about the products. I greatly appreciate all help they gave me and ended up purchasing many products they recommended.
