Alternative Remedies

Hello my name is Rob and I would like to let alternative remedies know the person that have working for them named Dylan is not very kind and he was very short with me and I will no longer go to that store as long as he's there it's too bad because your store is really good store.

Tim was my budtender when I dropped into Alternative Remedies last week, and of course my stoner-ass is just getting around to writing the review... There are a few things I would like to mention about Tim and my experiences at Alternative Remedies: 1) This neighborhood dispensary has a calm, clean and cozy environment, with lots of educational posters and various helpful informational handouts to provide context for #2. 2) All the budtenders that have helped me with my purchases have been delightfully and scientifically informative, without seeming condescending or overly “bro”-y. As someone who has been to many dispensaries in many states, I have encountered a lot of different types of budtenders, but the ones at Alternative Remedies have left one of the best impressions by providing scientific, thorough and relevant information to my shopping experience. For example, I mentioned that one strain Tim presenter to me smelled like mango! And he got this bright-eyed look and told me all about the terpene “myrcene” that is found in high quantities in mangos (and hops), and of course, certain strains of cannabis. I love shit like this, and sure enough, there was a poster behind me that had even more information about terpenes that I was invited to take a picture of. 3) The products I have purchased have been of excellent quality for the price. Lately, Oregon is notorious for its affordable cannabis, and I have noticed that you often get what you pay for when it comes to “cheap” ounces. Alternative Remedies’ “cheap ounces” are, by far, of superior quality! I was pleased to hear that Tim would let me mix and match strains as well, which seems to be an increasingly rare option when it comes to purchasing flower from dispensaries. 4) I have gotten free shit more than once for asking questions and just being generally observant. This is not a tourist’s dispensary and feels like visiting a better-equipped version of your old weed dealer, so relationships matter. They are generous and true weed aficionados at Alternative Remedies, and for that reason I felt compelled to actually write a review! Thanks again <3

been going here for months since I can walk. bought a half and discovered it was almost 4 years old. took the old and no longer viable stuff back for an exchange at the least, since the MLS date was before I was sold to. was told by the day guy, not James, I get what I get, and the woman told me it's still legal and maybe affects someone else differently. whatever, dump your old junk in the compost bin. totally bummed about the poor customer service. don't recommend this place for edible supplies, as even cooking won't save expired plant products. booooo!!!!

James the bud tender is Awesome he was very friendly and polite definitely I'm coming back to them good prices too

The best dispensary I have visited since the advent of dispensaries. A small space but great quality, superior service and a mellow but educated band of "Budtenders." For those on the tall side, beware of the counter area-I have hit my big dumb melon head on the top part of the service window frame 3x-some of us are slow learners. I love this place, great deals, excellent quality and service.

This place is just what you expect from the neighborhood, but more disappointing. Go there if you simply can't get your stuff anywhere else. And definitely wash your hands.

I like that its right down the street so i can walk. The budtenders are very knowledgeable and friendly. Keep up the good work.

I have found my FOREVER DISPENSARY!! Everyone here was incredibly helpful and kind. I highly recommend this business for anyone who uses marijuana for medical issues, as they are well versed in the different strains and their individual effects for certain ailments. I have MS (Multiple Sclerosis) which comes with too many side effects and pain to even begin to describe. They were able to break down which strain/form would help each separate ailment. Vanessa & Bryan were SO HELPFUL and more than happy to go through the different strains with us. -The CBD strain (Nubia) helps me sleep without the regular pain medication I would have to take -- It relaxes the muscles and fights insomnia. -The transdermal patch is also fantastic as well. You can cut the patch also so the dose is as low as you need. -The Irie CBD Dab Rocks are probably one of the best highs out there- it is something I use to get motivated in the mornings and gives a very different feel than any other CBD strain on the market. -We also purchased some of the Truly Pure Pens & Cartridges. They have several different pens to choose from, but these do always last the longest. The ATF cartridge was primo. Took away the pain while offering a good dose of the giggles. They are bringing the personalized experience to every customer and are not just a 'pot shop' like a lot of the places here. IF YOU WANT A DISPENSARY THAT ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS---THIS IS THE PLACE!!!

So I found out recently that the only place that sells fullmelt hash in the area is Alternative Remedies, so I stopped in for my first time a couple days ago. It's a smaller dispensary, with a small waiting area before going into the back where the budtender is. The back is really clean with a glass counter showing some of their products and some flower out to look at. The hash display is separate and to the left of the counter. It's cooled so the hash stays fresh and doesnt grease up. They had a nice selection of IWE as well as some amazing flower. I ended up picking out some 🔥🔥 Death Star & Candyland X Chem 91 5/6 ⭐️. The flowers were cultivated by Nelson&Co and extracted by Permaculture Solutions. Both examples are 70μ and melt amazingly into a puddle, leaving little residue in my quartz banger and is easily cleaned with a q-tip after each dab. They both taste amazing and represent their flower counterparts very well IMO. The Candy/Chem is my favorite of the two. It smells and tastes like a sweet pile of dirt soaked in fuel. I will definitely be back to grab some more. So, if you're looking for fullmelt IWE Hash in Portland, I'd definitely check out Permaculture Solutions and Alternative Remedies.

I love this place, it's small, and quaint, and I got more information in the ten minutes I was there than any of the other places combined! The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. This is my new go to for my business, and a laugh or two. Thank you for the great information. Eva

This dispensary doesn't wow you from the outside and it feels a little cramped inside, but they certainly deliver where it matters. I visited today and picked up a 1/2 ounce of their Purple Urkle, which was priced in the premium tier, for $102.00. This included the 15% discount that they have for that tier on Thursdays, but I was still completely blown away. Their premium tier is actually premium as well as I have not seen Purple Urkle flower this beautiful before. Completely covered in trichomes, gorgeous deep purple color, not too dry and smelled like heaven. I used to pay $115.00 for a 1/4 of premium flower at a dispensary I frequented in Beaverton so finding this dispensary was a great surprise. The budtender that helped me was very kind and respectful as well. Great flower, kind and helpful budtenders and amazing prices. 5-star dispensary all the way.

really cool natural and affordable place to get marijuania. Josh helped me out allot and they know there stuff! great spot

Usually an excellent shop and it is so please don’t get this review confused, but unfortunately poor customer service can collapse the entire experience and make it extremely uncomfortable and questionable on whether I return or not - the employees name is Brant or Brent or something. First poor experience I’ve had unfortunately... The long haired gentleman who’s name starts with a J is excellent, the guy who wears glasses is also very nice and the girl is exceptionally attentive and sweet as well, this was a shocking experience, really kind of a bummer. You guys carry the products I love and are excellent so I guess I just need to avoid this one employee. Much love to you guys, have a great day

Brian & Joshua were awesome! They definitely know what they are talking about and their quality is outstanding for the price!

1st visited to check out their in-house flower & grabbed an ounce of The Nubia. Incredible quality for the cost of a great 2:1 CBD strain. They are a small shop but have a well-curated selection of many fine products. Their $4-tier is certainly the best quality I've found (grabbed 2 ounces of my personal favorite, Blue City Diesel & it's fantastic!). I appreciate their post-tax pricing & point-of-sale packaging very much. Great selection of products all-around & Josh is my preferred budtender @ my favorite local dispensary/grow operation! I now always hawk their page 1st before making any decisions on flower/cartridges. Keep up the great work & see you soon!

It’s eclectic

Always beautiful flower and top notch concentrates. They have the best quality solventless live resins and bubble hash, and also list terpene profiles along with the strains on the menu for easy reference.

The Best Dispensary in Portland ❤️ I’m From Michigan here visiting and they have the Best Flower around 👍 Very Satisfied Non tumbled Flower Thank you you save Portland weed for me😎 will shop here again

Love prices. Atmosphere. Location.

Love this shop, close to home and really friendly. They were alot of help finding me a good CBD strain to help with my pain, and how much to use (since I'm a newbie)!

Came in for a Pax Era and the staff was courteous and knowledgeable (and not in a snobbish kind of way).

I love this dispensary people are real nice very quick service had no problems here ever couple blocks down the street from my house really convenient awesome I love it plus a good variety

Been going here for a while, been satisfied every time. Don't let the front of the store deceive you, there's a lot to this little dispensary; complete with an amiable and enthusiastic staff, willing and ready to help explore the many things green. Happy shopping!
