Best dispensary in Sacramento!
February 13, 2016
This was my first time here and I loved it. I hate going to new places because I have social anxiety but I was very pleased with my first visit here. Everyone was very nice and knowledgeable and I didn't feel pressured to make a purchase like other places I've been to. I will def stop buy again when I am in the neighborhood.

very clean - cool vintage furniture/art. the staff was nice. the only tricky thing is the parking lot. the lot on the side is not for their use. the small space in the back is cramped.

What a wonderful visit. The security guy is the star of the show. Extremely welcoming and calming, there to provide support if needed or stay out of the way. The sign up process was quick and easy. They have great information on the products they carry and cannabis in general. The purchase process is one-on-one and they take all the time you need. I got good advice and even help with a vape pen bought elsewhere that I had trouble with. They also have many free services that I did not get to try, including massage, yoga classes, and meditation. Back to the security guide, the (optional) hug on departure was fantastic!

Not only is this the best dispensary in Sacramento, but every single business in the region could take a lesson from the service provided here. I am always treated like I am the only person in there… Each staff member gives me his or her full and undivided attention, and I never feel rushed. The express order process is hands-down the best! I call in my order, I get there, and I am out the door within five minutes. A huge thanks to the staff for being so friendly and professional ALL THE TIME!!!

I came here looking for CBD options for my chronic back pain associated with Endometriosis and anxiety. I got a CBD tincture that I like. First medical dispensary I went to and if you are looking for a professional setting that offers medicinal weed this is your spot. All employees are in medical attire, answers all your questions and takes their time with you, a security guard always at the door to let you in and out, minimal paperwork to fill out, and their AC is always super cool in the summer. I have tried going to them to see about smokeable options but they didn't have what I wanted (Harlequin).

Showroom is a little small but they call you in two at a time so it's not crowded. Great service for a first timer and great product.

Location wise I believe this is the easiest dispensary to access in the Sacramento region. Close to the freeway easy parking. Very courteous and friendly security and staff. Very knowledgeable and caring bud tenders and administrators. Great lighting and music. All lab tested flowers. Deals for the medical patients loving pain relief and the patients loving a little more energy in their day. A selection of flowers that constantly changes as well as a phenomenal offering of free holistic services provided by the clinic. I got a 10 minute massage while waiting to be attended the other week. Shout out to Julie she's awesome! The sound healing therapists also do fantastic work, Annie and Christina. I love this place so much I took my mom here for her first dispensary visit and she's in her late 50s.

It just depends on when you go parking can be an issue . I find it is worth the trip they are knowledgeable on products an to help you find what you need.

Buyer beware 1.0 1 star In my 20 years of activism I’ve been to over 1000 dispensaries and this one stinks. Tiny lobby, poor placement of goods requiring a person to look from a distance at another persons section and ripped me off for 20 bucks. They offer a discount which was left off, when asked for it within minutes of sale was told reimbursement is impossible. Too much hassle to re ring. I live two hours away the manager tells me, oh well. I say, that might deter me from returning and his response was, if you can’t be understanding than too bad. WoW we have gone from a compassionate medical industry to, too bad screw off. I’m so disappointed for the cannabis industry by people like this. I’d say it’s all business but it’s just bad business. Even street dealers have ethics. Since the cannabis stores all have the same product your experience is based on service. If you like being treated like cattle, herded through and told to beat it when overcharged, come on down to ‘A therapeutic alternative”

By far one of the BEST in Sacramento! Not only do they have a large variety of everything you might need, the staff is extremely knowledgeable and trained to educate. I love that they have a calendar of free services they offer next door. Well worth the wait during busy times and they have express orders too in case you’re pressed for time. LOVE this place!!

Love this place! The only place to shop for my medicinals and always leave with new information. Love to learn something new about cannabis. Thanks Chef Ang 😘

Paul Acker-Taxis: I'll always support this dispensary for their kindness with their compassion program. For people like myself that have extreme chronic pain, (machete hand victim, and feet) it's essential compared to the failed drugs available that eat up your stomach. If you believe in the Northern California spirit, support this place. Ukiah guy, peace
