I like the people here!!! Cool budtenders, good conversation. Now that I've said that... not the best selection. Or quality. Or prices. Stop by if it's convenient. That's about it.

One of the bud tenders at CDC gave me really great advice on pain management. I have End Stage Renal Disease, diabetes, heart disease & arthritis in my spine. So, I wanted to share these thoughts and observations for anyone who could use good advice about cannabis generally. A special thanks to Ms. Peyton for all of her help to me!
I use “Ms. Peyton” In this review. I will change it to whatever you like. Thank you!
RE: Ms. Peyton of CDC
Any of you who know me may remember from previous conversations, that I would very much like to hire Ms. Peyton, due both to her professionalism and her charm. Her eloquence is equally refreshing as she often has wonderful recommendations for cannabis that would meet both my recreational and medicinal needs. Because of her advice, my experience with cannabis as a pain management tool would have been impossible, without her. The arthritis in my spine thanks her for that, especially.
I have known Ms. Peyton in a professional capacity, as a customer for over one year now. Despite her youth, she maintains a genuine professional decorum while still being a friendly & engaging salesperson, of such quality that I have not seen since my own childhood, (long before written history).
While normally I am loathe to write letters of recommendation, or reviews of this type, any assistance that I could provide to her is time well spent. During my tenure as Executive Director of the American Medical Massage Association (AMMA), we took on a number of salespeople to help with the sale of books, videos and massage equipment in our for-profit department. I deeply regret not having known her then. Her ability to apply herself to sales & her strong product knowledge make her a great pleasure to do business with and a joy with whom to converse. If more businesses had salespeople like Ms. Peyton, there would be a lot more millionaires amongst us. Ms. Peyton volunteered excellent cannabis related suggestions a great deal of the time & was quick to offer solutions that had otherwise eluded me. I am healthier and in less pain now, thanks to Ms. Peyton, her vast product knowledge, customer service skills & matters cognate are truly praiseworthy.
Ms. Peyton has a great general fund of knowledge. During the time she has been advising me about cannabis, she has conversed with me on such diverse topics as animal behavior, Norse mythology, history, photography, Art & why cats like humans. Nothing insubstantial, both the sale and the conversation keep me coming back to CDC, and I live next door to three much closer cannabis stores. In conclusion, Ms. Peyton’s professionalism has made my cannabis experience, especially as concerns pain management, a much better one. I have enjoyed learning from her and letting her heal my back! So, if you want GREAT CANNABIS experience from an expert, Ms. Peyton of CDC can give you that! I recommend that she be cloned so ALL cannabis shops can have at least one copy of her! Two if they are smart. Thank you. Now Go bring your money to Ms. Peyton and let her get you stoned. Or let her tell you HOW to get stoned. The most important thing for me is that she has re-awakened in me a sense of customer service long lost for decades in many American businesses. She is kind and knowledgeable. One could not ask for a better advisor or salesperson! Thank you.

J Roller (thats his real name) is quite possibly the best dude in town, not to mention the rest of the staff here is amazing. Everyone here has always been really nice and friendly, I've seen some faces come and go but every time I walk in the staff is really outgoing, nice, and willing to help out and spend time with you if you need it. Great service, great people, and on top of that, they hooked me up with some rolling papers today and didn't even charge me for them. Love these guys, I'll be coming here from now on to buy my medicine. Would highly recommend if you live in the area. I go out of my way to come see these guys.

False advertising. Expect to pay 25% more than the prices listed on the site. It was my first time at a pot store, and I bought it anyway even though it was $12/gram instead of the advertised $9/gram, because I figured they might just be too high to update their site. But I called them days later, and in fact they intentionally charge non-patients %25 percent more, and were completely unapologetic about the false advertising. The smoke wasn't that great, either, and I'd have given them 1 star all around except that you you have to expect a little larceny in the heart of any pot dealer... and they weren't rude, so that's a plus.

This is the ONLY place I will go anymore. I specifically aim for their CBD collection and let me tell you- they have a variety and a wide range of very helpful products. The staff is VERY well versed in their knowledge of their products and so very helpful. The first time I went in I had no clue what I needed or what anything meant and they were so patient and walked me through everything. Love this place!! GO HERE!

Terrible place all around.

I can't wait for CDC to be recreational again! It is really the ONLY place in Tigard, where you get a homey/chillax feel. Everyone is so helpful, without hanging over you like a shadow. The products are on-point as well as the prices. When you open back up I'll be there in "Full Force! -Pineapple Express".

Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Every visit has been pleasant over the past couple years.

I know they were closed for a couple months, but that is no excuse to push weed that is 8 months old.

First day of recreational sales. The line was long but the staff was great tending and talking to the customers!

Most of the products if not all of them lacked crystals. The products were overpriced and of mediocre at best. I will not be returning to this location.

This dispensary is very close to my home so I come in a lot. The parking isn't the best, it's in a lot with a storage facility and it's just kind of hard to get in and out of, And the store itself is pretty small. But they have a decent selection of flower, they offer a lot of discounts and specials, and Good deals on pre rolls. The staff is overall super friendly , and I love their loyalty card program!
March 10, 2016
The staff is awesome, and so is the product, by far my favorite place:)
December 18, 2016
They may not have the fancy store with prepackaged product, but I'm a paper cup kinda gal. The staff is so awesome here, and they always help me make my dollar go as far as it can with their specials and senior discount at 55 instead of 65.
This place feels like you're stopping in say hi to some friends. I even find the customers that shop at the CDC pretty terrific! I've never minded the occasional times where I had to wait.
Thank You CDC!

I really enjoy this location because it's close to my apt and has a great selection as well. I really enjoy the daily deals and the staff is very nice to deal with.
