This is by far one of the best dispensaries I have ever been to...maybe the best. The quality of everything was great, and even if you want the cheap stuff, they still have a great selection for you. Service was AMAZING. The NICEST people work there. I've changed my mind about what I'm buying several times, and they were always patient. One of the guys there even helped me figure out how to use a Volcano vaporizer at their store. Atmosphere was great. They had vapes throughout the place, and always had good music playing. Posters on the wall, chairs, smoke areas, display with smoking devices, separate, tea, water, display for edibles, etc. I can't think of anything I didn't like about this place.

This used to be my favorite dispensary. Good medicine, good vibes, great staff. But then recently the owner fired all the employees without warning. If you can't show loyalty to your employees, I'm gonna take my loyalty somewhere else.

I've been to Igzactly420 dispensary multiple times over the course of about three years. They've never disappointed me with their price or selection. In fact they probably have the biggest number of varieties of flowers available at any given time. Additionally they seem to have a larger number of strains that only they have such as the Purple Cadillac or Purple Princess. Their prices are very good compared to many other places or at least the same, but not higher. Inside the dispensary is very clean and bright lit so you can see what you're buying clearly. They can give you 1 grams, 8ths, or any amount you'd want for the same rate which is very convenient if I want 1/16 only. The girls and guys who work here seem to be knowledgeable about what they have. They've not been too stoned either. Igzactly420 also has a huge selection of edible cannabis products. A lot of them I've not seen in other places. I like how they do not have actual smoking inside the place, but they do rent out plastic bags for the volcano that you can use in their separate lounge area. One thing I'd change, or recommend they change, is that they play calmer chill music instead of loud rap that I've heard in their stereo sometimes.

I've only been three times now, but twice it's been essentially flawless -above and beyond what I'd expect- and the other time it just had a single, manageable problem: an extremely stoned employee had some trouble following my order/needs. The senior employees are especially helpful, obviously personally invested in the success of the business and eager to make sure you get what you need. They're great if you have questions about strains, gear, or anything else, and they're super-friendly. I could definitely see killing an hour there just chatting, although they're also quick if you want to get in and out. Also, the free vaporizer-lounges can't be beat, nor can the selection both of strains and of edibles/drinks. Whether you're new to it or a bit more experienced, this place is excellent.

Sorry guys I can't give a very positive review.90% of 420's meds taste like burning chemical fertilizer. And when they have something decent- BUYER BEWARE! They will hook you up for a while then pull the ol' switcheroo right when u can least afford it they will sell you some headache weed under the same same and price as the dank they had last week.

Everyone is helpful, answers questions, and makes recommendations. A relaxing atmosphere and big aquarium to enjoy while medicating.

Excellent medication. Friendly service. I dinged the atmosphere because they are small. But otherwise, GREAT!

Love this place. Staff is very knowledgable and even remember you and what you bought from previous visits. Will ask if it helped and recommend other products if it didn't. You are treated like a patient, not just a buyer or number. They genuinely care. Large stock of different products. Rotates frequently but the stuff that really sells always stays, so you can expect to see the same products you love all the time. They also have product demos once in a while. I miss the rooms they used to have so people could sit and chill and smoke on site.

Was amazing. My first time to a dispensary and ran upon it just by chance. The lady who helped me was very informative and accommodating. I felt weird telling her I wanted CBD’s for my eczema flare up as well as for a recent broken toe before a 16 hr flight. But she was very nice and understanding and totally helped me out and made me feel at home and not self conscious at all. Was an amazing first experience. When I’m back in town again, I’ll be sure to come back!

I’ve been to the Apothecarium in Soma on multiple occasions, and they never fail to impress! The layout of the dispensary is clean and the ambiance reflects its namesake- it gives off early 20th century vibes for sure. The budtenders are knowledgeable, not pushy but patient, their selection is pretty expansive, and the prices are definitely on the better side. Due to the proximity to my work in addition to everything listed above, this is my new go-to for anything weed related.
