I’m not happy. It’s been one problem after another last time the price online was less than they wanted, the manager was very nice quickly fixed it, I was recommended a strain I didn’t know about bought a quarter can’t smoke it, I asked my husband to call & see if they would maybe exchange it hoping spending about 400 a week there might matter.... the girl picked up laughed said all sales final & hung up.. ok guess that was my fault as a seasoned smoker having bought this random strain, so today I went back to get more of two strains I just bought both 35$ an eight, I was told one was on special... I’m thinking my lucks turning around here... then another budtender says sold out b4 I was told how much the special was... there was 4.5 grams left the guy who sold it to me said he wouldn’t charge the .5 grams... I thought he was joking but I smiled. He said 75$ not even thinking I paid plus ten dollar tip got in my car almost back & realized I was ripped off. Paid full price and paid 5$ for a half gram? I paid 70$ for the same two not on “special” over the weekend. I do not mind paying good money for what I want but I cannot support a business that is taking advantage of their customers. I do my homework & will go places for a specific strain this place doesn’t seem to value their customers or their money.
I overheard the girl at the desk say it’s 2.5$ for a lighter....
I spent over 300 this week & have two mid grade eights.... I came back after some woman hater to other women sold me a giant stem after looking right at it then me stapling it and handing it w out blinking or soeaking bc u have a lot to chose from but I’d rather go somewhere that everyone who works there knows their product & knows how much it is that day. This place lacks organization & clearly communication in their management & staff. I never complain but money is money & I haven’t seen shit extra from this company & honestly feel discriminated against.

They will give you a free pre-roll ONLY if you leave them five star review. The reviews on here are brought. I know this because I left a review of my experience, which was 2 stars. I showed the budtender, who begin yelling “how you trying to get something for free when you saying negative stuff..” I said well y’all are advertising for a free pre-roll if you leave a review and I left a review of my experience. She begins easing her voice so I ask for a manger. While I’m talking to the manager, the girl contributes to speak over me and the manager. We exchange words and I left. . I’m a military Vetern, I been deployed twice I don’t need a free pre-roll, I just need you to say what it is. Say if you leave us 5 stars then you will get a pre-roll. As I’m leaving I heard another worker say “we won’t let her back.” Which is cool by me, a company should earn there review and not entice people with weed to leave good reviews. I started coming here based on the reviews, but clearly they are fake. You get the real experience when you meet budtenders. If you do go hopefully you get Kris or Danielle both are helpful and kind with amazing attitudes. The weed is straight but not worth the drama.

I will never go back here again. The staff is extremely rude and unprofessional. This place used to be my go-to but never again. Don’t support this shop when there are so many more that are way better.

I have never left a negative review but I had such a negative experience I want to potentially prevent anyone else from wasting as much money as I did and doing the same. Both times I visited this location the receptionist made some type of error due to not paying attention- second time I waited nearly an hour due to her never looking up from her phone to check me in, or even notice that I was waiting...when I finally got in and after my bud tender changed once I was prepared to buy two 70 dollar grams for 130- I gave the bud tender all the cash I had and asked that she count it to be certain- she told me I was ten short so I ran to the ATM and grabbed 20 to be safe- paying another fee, of course. Then I went back in only to be told by her that I was short yet again even though I had withdrawn more than enough- I used the ATM machine there for a THIRD time and paid a fee again before finally taking my products and leaving- only to go home, smoke what I bought, and sadly be very underwhelmed. Unfortunately never returning to this establishment ever again.

decents meds nothing eye-popping. they keep the bud room dark so you cant get a good look, and all the money they make i dont know why they cant go to walmart and get a $20 intercom if they're gonna have 2 tv's on and the radio blasting. cant anyone hear her yelling names through the glass with all that going on.

HOD is on the bottom of the list!! I don’t recommend them to anyone.
My last experience ABSOLUTELY sucked.
I placed my order on Leafly. Waited in their ungodly line up for 30 mins. All to be told that they couldn’t fill my order. Advertised strains not in stock. WTF? Why have it on the menu if you don’t have it. Budtender tried to sell me something else. No thank you. Fuck HOD!!!

Totally bad service...No Customer Service. I bought lavender and it was seedy. It was my first visit and they told or showed me NOTHING! Went there for lavender and I got more seeds than trees.

The staff are very rude. I would never waste my time or money here.

This is why I only use leafly to find out about new dispensaries. I rarely if ever read reviews. This site is dominated by free-gram review specials, and it's pretty blatant. It's as if these people have smoked good weed before. Places like HOD, Unified Collective, fuego etc, they're all garbage. I'm telling you, I wasted a lot of time going to these places, you owe to yourself to venture away from 8 mile. Ada is probably the best I've found in terms of quality / price. Helping hand which is right down the street from most of the 8 mile dispensaries is a great sativa place and has great specials ($25 8ers that are comparable to a lot of top shelf strains these 8 mile places carry). New places like mindright are popping up left and right, and people don't even know about them.
The benefit of these dispensaries is that most of them will let you in with just your paperwork. That's the only reason I frequented any of these places. My last visit ended with their little thug bud tender giving me an attitude because he was too high to listen to my order.
Also, is the acupoco gold a joke? Thanks for the free $5 gram that I threw out. I believe you can go down the neighborhood streets and get dime bags of "acupoco gold" 3 for $10. You don't even have to get out of you car!
Joke of a dispensary, take your money to one of the places I mentioned. You can thank me later.

Low quality shwag that is way overpriced. Only stopped in once to check out the hype - but taking my business to other dispensaries. Step up your game!

really cool place staff and security are absolutely amazing they're super friendly and helpful and are always super positive and never fail to put me in a good mood. prices are very good with a wide selection of $20 8ths (i think theres like 20 or 25 dif strains at that price range)and they're about $5-10 cheaper then anywhere else ive been. quality is pretty good but could be a little better but at the price you cant beat it i would absolutely recommend anyone to house of dank and in my opinion one of the best dispensarys around.

I’ve been going to House of Dank off and on for a couple years now, and now I’m embarrassed of how much a fool I’ve been made. The prepackaged 1/8ths here have always looked small, but my delivery order on 4/20 contained 16 prepackaged 1/8ths that were noticeably small and light. After weighing ALL contents, only one out of the 16 packages actually had 3.5G. Most packages had between 2.4-2.9g, a few had between 3.0-3.4g. In total, I paid a pretty penny for 52.5 top shelf grams and only received 41.3, though packages claimed I received all of it. Get a scale. Check package contents, because I promise you’re being cheated and lied to.

I purchased (5) 1 gram concentrates from here which were all spoiled, old and unusable. They were all over 10 months old and obv not stored properly. Most of their products are like this so make sure you check your medication before buying. They have return policies listed for other products(flower) that you can’t make returns on. Nothing posted anywhere for concentrates but would not accept return. When bringing the condition of medication to the attention of the managers, I was lied to and given the run around for 10 days. I ended up talking to Jennica and Kass at the 8 mile location. They were the most unprofessional people(managers!) I have ever spoken with. **the third time I called in that 10 days I was hung up on by one of the above managers. I treated them with respect and remained calm the whole time. ****was then notified by corporate to contact them directly... did so via email and was told someone would be reaching out in a couple days. 9 days later, no reply to follow email and no follow up from anyone. This company obv has issues from the bottom all the way to the top. Ignored, lied to and hung up on.

This was the first dispensary I went to once I got my card. The customer service I received I was less than thrilled with. The guy was on his phone the whole time and every time I asked him a question I felt like I was bothering him. As he was ringing me up, he made me wait so he could finish texting on his phone. I went back once more to give it a second chance. Once I returned I realized this place is overpriced. It also seemed like I was the only person not friends with the people behind the counter. I went in with two other patients who both seemed to know the guys behind the counter. Since I did not know then I was mostly ignored until I asked to be rang up again. I would not return or recommend to a friend and its a shame because it's the closest one to my house.

I had called HOD 8 mile location asked some questions about some medication I wanted to order I was doing my monthly order so an almost $300 order and she had let me know what site to go on etc and went ahead placed my order just before 4pm. I get an automated text then saying it’s being prepared and about 20 after 5pm I get a call from their manager suggesting I order from the fort st location (almost hour in a half after my order) they told me it was closer I’d be getting my delivery quicker etc. so I listened to what they had to say and said okay and then they canceled my order and guided me to fort st. I call the fort st location and they don’t have the same product I need and have me call 8 mile back. So Now 6pm I ask if this order was a problem I can go somewhere else I’m in pain and their manager Chris said no we will get it to you tonight our driver lives by you and will drop it off. At almost 9pm they cancelled my order and made it seem like my fault! HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! I waited 5 hours for my medication they promised to get me and then did not deliver when hours earlier I had asked specifically about this happening I was reassured everything was fine even with the inclement weather I had mentioned on both phone occasions with the manager I can cancel and order through somewhere else if you guys cannot make it and was totally duped. I sat up most of the night with my back and leg spasms. I totally learned my lesson waiting on my medicine the way that. If you truly are in pain do not let them talk you into waiting I felt so deceived and was offered a free edible to wait until the morning. I don’t think some businesses actually realize marijuana is used as a medication regularly for some patients. Experiences like this is what drives me away from getting medication from places like these it’s like I wasn’t taken seriously.
Horrible, they advertise false THC levels for vape and weed online. Then after you order online, and pick up your order they r give the same product with a much lower THC level. When I went back they said oh online must be from a different batch. False advertising!

I've historically been extremely happy with both the quality and service of H.O.D.. Well to day that all changed. I was told they were out of the top shelf slabs only to have one "magically" appear. When I called them and complained about the low quality of the wax, I was scoffed at and offered no help whatsoever. The short sighted greed cost them over $500 a visit from me. I'll be taking my frequent business elsewhere.

I had a bad first time experience here. I am new to all of this, so I was looking for some guidance. The bud tender struggled to give me information about products I had very little knowledge about. I was able to coax one recommendation from him, but I had to fall back on my limited knowledge and research. I ended up purchasing a cart, some pineapple express, northern lights and whatever the bud tender recommended. I didn't know much about carts other than I wanted a sativa dominant cart. He asked if I wanted a plastic cart or glass/ metal. I opted for the metal. When I got home, I noticed I received a plastic cart... I don't think the cart I purchased is a sativa dominant cart, but I don't know. Also, when I opened the northern lights, it was filled with hair. Not one or two, but many human hairs. Finally, I received a goody bag with my 1st purchase. I'm not complaining since I didn't expect any freebies, but I received an empty pre-roll container and half a gram of some dried out skunk. Again, I don't care about this, it was just another thing to pile on top of my negative experience. I really don't want to deal with any returns or the weird social interactions that would happen in such a scenario. "Hey, I want to return this weed." Isn't something I want to deal with/ experience. I'll head somewhere else on my next run. I just wanted to pass this experience along for others.

Big D hooked it up! 😂 went in and told her what I wanted help with and she knew exactly what I needed.
store felt comfortable and had an easy to read menu with color coordinated options.

First let me start by saying they got a really dope name for a dispensary.
But they dont live up to it, almost all the stuff they have is over priced for example edibles are much more expensive than any other dispensary. They call there decent weed "top shelf" when its clearly not. They change there prices to gullible people one day i came in for a tarantula and they sold it to me for 30 when it was 25 on
Leafly. I didnt know the price of it until i saw it on leafly. They are really unprofessional and dont know how to work they text on there phones while your talking to them. Only come here if you want to get ripped off cudos my dudes.

I was shorted on my money when I left. ⁵ oz. She said she only had received $100. Last time and only time I get hustled there. Girl at the front desk did not get my ID so I sat and waited till something needed to be said.

I loved it at house of dank as soon as you walk in you feel at home with all the great customer service you receive here. They have lots of good merchandise.
March 20, 2018
Do not go here, way too over priced, I came in there yesterday and got 10 Kushypunches and 2 grams of there too shelf, instead of giving me a deal she charged me full price 125 for the kushypunches and 40 for 2 grams. I will never be back here to do business with them again. They just lost what they could of had a very good customer. I would of spent a lot of money with you guys, if you didn’t have a joke budtender who’s only objective is too screw over whoever walks in this place.
