Used to be my favorite dispensary. My last experience here I feel overcharged for the flower I received. I paid $80 and found many stems I didn't see at the time, only sifting through did I discover poor quality and after consumption. The flavor was awful. With all the dispensaries in the city, I strongly suggest going to any other store, and avoid this one altogether. It really should be 2 stars, but based on the person at the counter. They were friendly and kewl.

I absolutely LOVE this dispensary. I live in Corbett and it's worth the travel to get to them. The employees are the best!!! The puppies are adorable as well. This is the BEST dispensary in PDX BY FAR! We always have a great time when we go visiting the employees and pups. We get QUALITY products for GREAT prices. Please keep doing what you're doing those of us that are sick and on fixed incomes appreciate it. It is our ONLY dispensary now. Will be headed there today.
