I went to CDC yesterday and Ty helped me out. Ty is the nicest dude and really listens to your needs. If your on a budget, he gets it. If you just want indica cause Sativa isn’t your thing, he gets it. I really like how I always feel welcome and the indica is on point.
Thank you guys for the great vibes!

This place is a great re-up stop, catering to those in the Washington Square area. Small parking lot and small floor, the staff are helpful and not pushy as they help you get your gear and go on your way quickly. Friendly staff like Dylan are on hand to answer questions and problem solve to ensure the best value for the customer. On a busy day expect a line and not a lot of room to wait, but a well stocked inventory and a low pressure sales environment makes for a reliable and consistent experience for local customers who know what they're looking for.

my favorite dispensary to visit. I will say that I don't necessarily enjoy the sarcasm I get from some individuals when I'm asking about strains, but nevertheless I understand. Still enjoy coming here though.

I loved this place. It was just down the road from my house, the staff was always friendly, the selection was good, and their prices were okay.
Today, bought a cartridge on their recommendation, only to discover about an hour later that it was defective. I returned with my receipt to exchange the cartridge and was told that "because of Covid" they could not exchange or refund me.
I have been told repeatedly at multiple dispensaries to keep my receipt in the event of getting a defective cartridge to exchange them. As recently as last week, a dispensary in N. Portland reminded me when I purchased one.
There is no logical reason why Covid should prevent them from exchanging a defective product. Your inability to get your money back on it should not be passed to your customers.
My household have been regular customers for the last two years, but that ends today. I suggest if you want to support a local dispensary in the Tigard area, you patronize Juan and his crew at the Magic Castle. They know how to take care of their customers. Clearly, whoever is making policy decisions at the CDC dispensary, does not.

Great stuff and good prices on some quality product. They have an excellent loyalty system, and always offer great deals. I usually stop in once a week, and I always walk away happy.

I frequent this establishment fairly regularly, and usually enjoy the visits. Yesterday, an employee was having an off day and was quite a buzz kill.

I decided to give this place a second chance, and they actually stepped their game up. While the parking is still a big issue, the quality of their concentrates was decent. I didn't really look at the flower. Maybe next time. They had a lot of familiar products, and I liked that. The service was great. I could tell my budtender was working hard to be informative and helpful as best he could. The other budtender assisting my friend was also very friendly and funny (he had really curly hair and a cool hat). Atmosphere overall felt a little bit cramped. I felt like I was blocking the display when other people came in to browse. I'm glad I gave you guys a second chance. Cheers!

Lots of variety.

This is my go to bud shop. Been a regular since last October and no other local dispensary can compare. The staff is super chill and the bud tenders are helpful, knowledgeable, and easy to talk with about what your looking for. Zack and Walker are my guys, they usually know the strains and how the current batches are. I love that you get to see and smell all the bud before purchase, and it's not prepackaged. They have multiple deals daily and their prices overall are unbeatable. They even have a loyalty card!! I've sent all my fellow bud lovers their way and they have all become returning customers. I also love that they always have different strains on the menu, I never get bored of trying new things.

The literal most helpful staff. They take care of their customers every single time! I cannot speak higher of them.
If it's your first time in, ask for Isaac, Ty, or Schilly. Those guys are mega friendly and always have solid recommendations!
J. Roller and the whole team at CDC are so friendly and helpful. My go to dispensary in Tigard!!!

I used to be a die hard "The CDC" customer. They had an issue with recreational sales and I found another dispensary. I figured I would come back to my old main stay and I have to say, I had a really piss poor experience. I came in to buy some concentrate. I was just getting into concentrates and had some questions. The budtender had no idea what his products were, and ended up selling me a dominant indica instead of what I was asking for, a sativa.
I have had good experiences in the past, and The CDC was my first dispensary experience and my intro to smoking, but my experience recently wasn't good.

Had a bad experience. The girl that checked me in was really nice. But when I went back to get my goods the dude was really short and rude. He seemed irritated with every question I had and did not give me the service I am used to when going to cannabis shops. I felt super rushed and did not feel welcomed at all. I would come back if he didn't work there anymore, I'm sure everyone else is much nicer.

The only dispensary I've ever visited!
The 4 times I went, the employees were nice, wait times were short, and the marijuana was actual marijuana ....not clumps of cat poop dusted with the crumbs of an artificial Christmas tree. It was pretty good. Effective. But, I don't really enjoy marijuana that much and am no 'bud-snob.'
In fact, I find the effects of THC to be, not relaxing or comforting, but confusing and somewhat frustrating. Room-to-room, for 2 hours, going, "What was I just thinking?" Or, "Why am I holding this apple again?" Or, why is my mind throwing up script ideas for Charles in Charge. This review. Whatever. It kinda scatters the mind is what I'm saying and we all should just stop smoking it right now. I'm not kidding.

I love CDC’s employees. Everyone is so helpful and they take the time to make sure you get what you want. They never rush me and are knowledgeable in their products. I have gone there enough times that they remember what I like and know what new products to offer me.

I’m new to the west coast so I had no idea what I doing the first time. They were very helpful in explaining different strands and what means what. I tried others but didn’t really like the corporate feeling of one I went into. The CDC always has what I need, they’re very friendly, and I always feel welcomed when I go. They’re good people! I’m a loyal creature of habit, so that’s where I’ll always go unless something changes.

bought a cheap cartridge that didn't work for my pen. tried to pay the difference for a better cartridge and they tried to sell me one of their pens instead. My only other option is to "extract the resin from the cartridge and put it over weed." Not very customer friendly.

Nice buds at decent rates, great location on the Westside!

The biggest thing is the small show room. They had a menu and were very helpful showing different kinds, but luckily I was the only one there. I can imagine a full show room taking a long time to check out different kinds. The lobby is large enough where they could expand so I'm hopeful.
Staff was super friendly though so highly recommend based on that.
The menu had cool color coding for different types, but it lacked some deeper specs like CBD %.

super pushy about 12-14 dollar grams. even as a med patient super pricy; and it seemed they got some sort of commission for those sales. 2.5/5.
bud ended up being dry and overpriced for 50 dollar quarter.

This use to be my go to dispensary. Lately or the last few times I decided to come in before the number counter. One of the employees #1 passed me up 4 times. Then I had to be pushy and rude to get any service. The next week he was just as rude. On Halloween I came in. Same dude. Why. I was like I telling him what I think. I did. I will

The location is small but not uncomfortable, friendly people greet you and check you in. Then you go into the back room where you are greeted by your budtender and can peruse the menu/selection. They have a good variety, and a good price range.
