It's local and they have a pretty wide inventory, otherwise it's an afterthought. The budtenders really don't know much, every time I've been in and asked questions they've basically just read the descriptions of the strains as they're described on Leafly. I recently went in for high CBD concentrate, their menu said they had some Cannatonic that was $35/g. When I got there they didn't know what I was talking about when I mentioned the product, first they told me that it was medical only (without explanation), and then they found out that they did not actually stock that product. Since I had a shoulder injury and was in pain, I didn't really have time or capacity to run around the city looking for something better, so I just purchased a cartridge of Harle-Tsu for $50, which was $15 more than they had on their menu that is apparently updated for sales tax. The stuff was good enough, good as any other high CBD sativa dominant I've had. Unfortunately the cartridge malfunctioned and oil got into the air slot, making it impossible to pull air from the cart. In my efforts to try to salvage the cart I lost track of the blue plug that keeps most of the concentrate on the inside of the cart. This should in no way interrupt the function of the air duct. When I went in asking for assistance, I was turned away because this blue plug was missing, and was not really given a chance to argue my point. I'm disappointed with you guys. Your menu ISN'T updated or accurate and your help, well, doesn't.

I want to open up with I first visited this place when it was still Harborside owned. Their suppliers don't seem to have changed since changing management but their prices went down. They have excwll

Been in two times now, DJ is a well learned, no nonsense guy. I really dig it. They've got a small but promising selection of strains that have very exact lineages. It is obvious that the staff put consideration into what they shelf for sale. The storefront is clean and minimal, DJ plays pretty cool music, too. Fleet Foxes last time I was in. The waiting room is cozy and the inside is spacious - I think negative space is important in making rooms feel comfy. There isn't any rush, and they're eager to show you what they've picked and why. There are some really pretty buds here, with deep bouquets. I've tried the Rudeboi OG and the White Super Skunk - both were potent and well cured, not too dry, sticky, and tasty. I took some close ups of the White Sunk and will link it below. This is a cool little shop right near Arbor Lodge, I highly recommend it if you're in the hood and looking for quality weed.

So, I've been here a few times now, as well as the one on Foster (which has a better selection!), and I've been pretty impressed. They have a number of growers but it's mostly Vita Organics, which seems to be in house. I've tried a few of their strains, and I've been exceedingly impressed. They have classics and cool new strains I've never seen before, as well as an amazing selection of CBD stuff. They have this one strain that has 23% CBD, that's ridiculous. All the flower they carry is gorgeous and has a deep bouquet, but I've been particularly fond of their Matanuska Thunderfuck and Deep Purple. I've really not seen this much consistency in quality at many dispensaries. The last time I went in I wanted the Gorilla Glue but was convinced to get the Bruce Banner. I was pretty skeptical before I tried it but when I did I was so happy to find that was EXACTLY what I had been wanting. Andrew, the guy who runs their Instagram, is super knowledgable when it comes to cannabis, it's great to talk about the plants with him, and he's very helpful with effects, and ALSO believes in trusting your nose. I've felt really comfy in both locations. The people are great and so is their flower. Thanks for doing what you do!

This is a simple indica with a wonderful aroma. The flower I had was grown by Vita Organics, and was surprisingly green. Light orange hairs spiraled up towards the heads of the amorphous nugs. Its smell was sweet and fruity, but I'm not necessarily sure about grapes - it might smell a bit like wine. The high is heavy; light and warm euphoria, sedation, thought delineation, giggles. It's pretty classic, probably excellent for sleep. It took me about half a gram to get where I wanted to get, though, this isn't the most potent indica around.

Huge fan of this strain. Heavy and stimulating while not terribly cognitively distorting. Heavy euphoria, strong effects, very impressed with the consistent quality of this strain.

Been in here a couple times now, the quality of the staff is thus far unmatched in Portland. The last time I was in I was so busy talking to them about just whatever that both parties forgot I had already finished the sale. They're knowledgeable and extremely personable. They also have some pretty quality flower, I've tried a few strains and all of them have been solid and well cured/stored. It's all a local, mostly the same grower. They're a little hard to find but have a super cute and clean storefront. You have to ring the bell to open the door, which is a little different, but whatever. There's no sense of rush or sales pitch, they just tell you what they've got and are honest about their experience with different strains. Great people, great shop, great weed. Recommend the 9lb Hammer, it's amazing.
