We've been weekly regulars for a few months now and the quality of the flower has been consistently excellent, with a few obscure strains appearing occasionally, such as Doggystyle. Being a sativa-lover, this became an instant favourite. Pricing is inexpensive and simple. Nothing is over $10/gram and their $5 specials often feature some excellent product, either because they have a large batch of it or becaue it's nearing the end of the jar. Either way the deals are always worth a look. No hurrying or hassles either. We usually take a while to decide on our selection but (so far ;) ) the great budtenders have been really accommodating and patient. Thanks folks. So, despite living on the outer edge of the Metro area and having much closer stores, this has become our go-to because we know we will always get something of quality and potency and receive top-notch service. Highly recommended.

Two visits so far. Technically three but since I forgot my ID the first time I had to wait in the car while my wife went in! This is an excellent dispensary. Staff are professional, friendly and welcoming and know their stuff. The guy who served us each time was a joy to deal with. Wish I could remember his name. Importantly, the quality of the actual flower is top-shelf all the way so far, whatever the price point, and the selection is extensive with some interesting strains as well as the more familiar ones. If they get the Hawaiian Snow in again for instance then I highly recommend it to sativa-lovers. My wife really loved the Purple Kush, as did I. If this place was nearer to us it would be our go-to every time. Highly recommended.

Great store. Our first visit (two weeks ago) was a pleasure. Very friendly and welcoming staff to greet us, and once through the formalities a fairly standard but well laid-out and attractive dispensary awaited. Some great strains here. Some strong ones too and all the flower appears to be very high quality. FIrst visit saw me trying their Sour D which is one of my favourite strains. The one they carry ticks all the boxes for me. Also tried their Burmese Kush which is strong and an excellent, versatile hybrid. My wife who favours Indicas tried their G13 and it's become an instant favourite. So our second visit saw us stock up on both as well as try the very cheap Blackberry which for the price is pretty good. Perhaps a little drier than the others but still an effective, relaxing Indica. Next to try will be their Durban Poison which is also a top-ten strain. As a result of great product and the cool, laid-back (dare-say slightly quirky - in a good way?) staff this place has become a favourite after only two visits and I look forward to many more :) I only wish the Leafly mobile app had worked while I was in-store (get it sorted Leafly!) as I'd have got a free grinder for my trouble, although I didn't need that incentive to give 5 stars. Highly recommended!

A very good selection of flower at great prices in an intimate, well arranged space, with friendly, enthusiastic staff on hand to help. In terms of finding the place, if travelling from the Portland direction along Glisan the turnoff is on the left just after their large sign. If you turn too soon you'll end up outside the adjacent restaurant. Wheelchair and other mobility device users are well-served with a good ramp up to the entrance and the exterior of the building is nicely done in timber. Price isn't everything though. I opted for an eighth of their Jack Herer. Not one of my absolute favorite sativa-dominant hybrids but it's still a nice strain. I must admit to being a little disappointed with this Jack though. Despite 23% THC it didn't appear very potent although the flower itself wasn't too dry and seemed quite dense in places. However, this was just one strain among many they stock. We didn't buy any of it in the end but I very much liked the look and smell of their Lemon Kush, and the Mendo Blue so this one purchase won't put us off another visit. Thanks folks :)

Made our first visit here on the Saturday after legalization. Excellent selection of flower! Friendly and helpful staff. Enjoyed some talk with the budtender while she was weighing out a gram of very high quality Durban Poison. If this is typical of their flower (and, taking a bit of time to examine all the jars it appears it is. All their product looks top-shelf) then many more visits will follow. As for atmosphere, it was surprisingly quiet when we were there but I'm told it's been very busy since Oct 1 so I guess we chose the right time The actual dispensary area is nicely lit and vey neatly and professionally laid out. A top-shelf dispensary with top-shelf bud.

In the review I posted on their Facebook page I said that big things come in small packages and after two more visits since they opened to recreational customers nothing's changed that view. A welcoming, friendly team of folks doing a great job serving an increasing number of customers in a pretty confined space. Said space is utilized well though with all flower products available to examine and to sniff. Despite the pressure on the space the great staff are happy to let you take your time and always keen to introduce new strains on their menu to waiting customers while serving others, weighing out orders etc. at the same time. Great bit of multitasking guys :) On the subject of strains, the menu is varied and expanding with a nice selection of sativa-dominant and indica-dom strains as well as a few balanced hybrids. Some fairly potent flower too. For sativa fans I can certainly recommend their Jack the Ripper at 26%. Nice sticky buds. Indica-wise the Terminator and Mr. Nice strains exhibit hashy smells and tastes which have me nostalgic for Blighty and also for old Amsterdam. So all-in-all a great dispensary run by dedicated, friendly and responsive folks. Highly recommended.

Durban Poison

As sativas go this is the rocket ship to the Mother ship AND the Mothership rolled into one. Maybe chuck in the galaxy for good measure. Sharp, euphoric, tingling scalp, heightened perceptions and in the case of the version I obtained (from the excellent Pure Green in Portland) containing 1% CBD which seems to add a physical numbing feeling to the head and extremities along with the invigorating sativa effects. Probably not, I suspect, the strain for those inclined to a bit of paranoia as it's mind effects can be intense at higher doses. The Pure Green Durban tested at 25% THC which is high for this strain - and it certainly feels like it. Easily in my top Five.
