Had some very decent flowers and large selection but the service was terrible. The fellow helping me out seemed to be extremely medicated and wasn't very attentive. Seemed like he didn't really care about my needs as a patient. The atmosphere had a really weird vibe. Will not be going back.

Sometimes when I see reviews on a place like this I wonder how many are friends and family..
I went here they have a real nice setup, but I have a few real complaints. The first time I went I got 3 things of kief for $10 a gram, and some of their grape con. which was a $9 a gram flower. I got home and the grape con was SO DRY, it just broke apart of the stem. I figured maybe cause I got their lower tier meds at $9, the kief was good. So I went back out today and the SAME EXACT KIEF I got a week ago is now $15 a gram, and Im talking the same exact strain same exact test results and they cost has gone up by $5 a gram..I can't really understand this, I feel really ripped off and used when I see crap like this. So I decided not to get kief but since I drove all the way out I would get some of what they call top shelf or top tier meds. Got home and same deal, so dry, it smells and looks great but it just breaks up and crumbles. And it has almost the same thc levels as the grape con for the $9 so not sure why there is a price difference except to lead to further confusion.
We as patients need to stop putting up with this crap. Stop charging us an extra $2 here and an extra $5 here and expect people to take it with a smile, this is supposed to be for donations to help patients and its very obvious the OMMP dispensaries like this are taking it in another direction.

Not caring about patients; wouldn't except temp paperwork without original copy of mailing certification but would take caregiver back with copy. Not very welcoming. Only plus side is they laminate your card.

Collective Awakenings is a perfect model of what all dispensaries should be like.

Im not a heavy smoker but the free rollie was great, My husband and I came from the Coast. I am a PRF of dispensary in Toledo, People were as sweet as could be. I guess others have opinions but we were very happy with the interest shown. Everyone is trying to provide for their community. Best wishes to you all.

C.A. hands down one of the top if not the top dispensary in Portland. They provide a wide variety and selection of medications. As well as providing a team of great and knowledgeable people. You can tell everyone enjoys and cares about their job and what they do.

Incredibly friendly and kind. It was my first time visiting a dispensary and was immediately put at ease. The staff was very helpful and knowledge. It was a fun and educational experience. Can't wait to go back.

This place was exactly what I hoped for upon entering. Informative and gave us stuff to take home and read to educate ourselves. Friendly gave us a free "J" for our first visit. Great selection and well ran.

This is hands down my favorite dispensary. The selection is awesome, the staff is super knowledgable and always friendly, and their specials can't be beat! The last time I was in Aligra helped us and recommended the BEST oregon candy company edibles that taste just like warm apple pie with cinnamon and ginger, they were perfect!

Great people! The staff made me feel right at home and explained everything to me! Not to mention the great medication. I love how they list the THC% of their flowers. I have been missing this at my other dispensaries. It gives me a better idea of what I am getting. I will be a frequent customer. They won me over!

I have been a patient with collective awakenings, since Dec 2011 They were recommended by my doctor so I went there. From the moment I walked into their establishment I was treated with the upmost care and commitment to finding what is best for my diseases. I have a multitude of life threatening diseases and the people at collective awakenings have changed my life for the better. I'm deeply indebted to them and I pray you all have a wonderful and safe week until I see you next week. Keep up the great commitment to customer service and being there to help us that need the medication.
You are all angels of some sort - I know it!!

This shop alienates true patients in need. I will never shop here again.

A safe clean environment with knowledgeable friendly staff. Outstanding Selection of Flowers, extracts, edibles and more. Flowers are tested for potency qualities and if I remember correct tested for insects and mold. Clean quality medicine, perfect. For Sativa I recommend Blue Dream( Grown and cured to perfection- every time) and Rose City Haze ( Wonderful energetic effects ). A class of it's own that caters to peoples medicinal needs for the right reasons. Make the time to come down. I get medicine for my patient who is family and would go nowhere else since Collective Awakenings has THE BEST QUALITY AND SELECTION and am concerned if she does not know exactly what medicine suits her ailments best. I am telling you this is it right here- COLLECTIVE AWAKENINGS. From your favorite Pizza Prep Cook and Drummer nerd, Cheers!

Collective Awakenings is my favorite dispensary in Portland! The staff is great, a very friendly crew. Their flowers are always fresh - the concentrates are nice and clean - and their edible selection rocks. And on top of it the place is fun - hit them up on a Wednesday and spin the wheel! There are lots of shops in Portland, but CA is my favorite, hands down!

Collective Awakenings is the best in PDX & I've been to most every single resource center to see which are worth returning to and which to cross off my list but C.A. is definitely my home away from home. Because the staff at C.A. are very friendly, compassionate people & are genuinely happy to answer any question you may have. And every form of medicine that they have are of great quality with nothing substandard on the shelves and everything is of great medicinal value. So even if you are a longtime OMMP cardholder or just getting started C.A. is going to be the place that you should definitely give a try because you, like me, will be glad you did.

Good dispensary haven't been here much but I left satisfied the last time. So I will return!

Since getting my card I have been to several establishment but this is the only one I return to. The friendliest service with the best meds always make me look forward to free-joint Friday. Their Durban Poison is the best smoke ever, prob the best I have smoke in a decade.

Great selection of top shelf flowers, with a range of concentrates and edibles for a reasonable donation.
My go to club!

#1 Shamrock Kush- My recommendation to other patients from this trip! My favorite, thank you for showing me this fantastic flower. I hope there is some more...
#2 Hammer--Deep, rough expansive smoke, great buzz, quick pain relief, piney woodsy taste, amazing smell..
#3 Blue Ace--Uplifting, euphoric, and creative. suttle taste, kudos to grower*
#4 Extrema--very distinct scent. Surprisingly Fantastic lemon-pine taste, nice creeper, I really liked this strain.
#5 Da Purps-- Tastes like Grape Koo-laid, long lasting relaxation, dense, hard nugs. Very heady.

I've been going here for over a year and the staff always makes me feel right at home. The sativa is great, and the service is excellent!

Portland's premier OMMP collective. I've checked out a lot of competition and they can't be beat.
