They will not cut you a deal. I was first time with the equivalent of a quarter pound order $800-$1000. They wouldn't even knock off 5%. They were rude. I walked out. I contacted them and went back 2 days later because I could not understand why? The Office Mgr. was ruder than the first woman I tried placing an order with. I walked out again. There are all the other dispensaries that give 10% first time buyer discounts. I will never return and hope you get your meds somewhere else. How can people in this business be so mean?

one of my fave clubs , I know most of the people and even after being gone for 3 months because of a hold up with my card, they still treated me great!

Absolutely love this place! Nice and clean, friendly at the front desk, and check out the lizard. The staff in back are very knowledgeable, friendly like you've known them for years. Prices and selections are comparable to most dispensaries. I come from the OC just cause of the staff and selection!

This is by far my most trusted dispensary for finding consistently amazing medicine. Their selection always consists of some of the finest strains, that are properly picked and stored. The budtenders there have always treated me kindly and with a smile. I'm very indecisive when selecting my medicine and they are patient and understanding with me. They even greet me with my first name. I seriously cannot say enough good things about this place.

Loved loved loved this place. Probably one of my favorite dispensaries in Portland! The staff was great and knew the answer to all of our question (without having to look EVERYTHING up like most places). We left with more than what we went in there for. We got some sweet t-shirts, some delicious edibles, and some tasty shatters. I will be returning and I appreciate all of the great customer service you guys delivired!

A little crowded and hectic feeling.. but I guess because people like it! Good selection but pricey. Great customer service.

Great selection of capsules, especially low thc. Got some great honey sticks and syringes too.
Love that they offer stools in the back.

I wasn't sure what to expect from the slightly sketchier exterior (compared to other shops in the Green Mile district of Sandy) but the interior lived up to the pics, comfortable and inviting. Friendly, laid back staff, very helpful. I'd say the bud room is less pleasing aesthetically and has some wasted space. The dry erase menu board with post-its is tacky. A chalk board might be easier to look at. But they have Gary the bearded dragon - bonus.
I got Kosher Tangie which was outstanding - insanely addictive aroma and flavor along with a nice stupid high. Also some Lamb's Bread which was just ok.

Picked up Chocolate Chunkle and had the best body high. Great prices for great flower.

Yes, five stars! First time visiting Collective Awakenings and I will definitely be back. Alison (sorry if I spelled that incorrectly) was my bud-tender. It's too bad that I knew exactly what I wanted when I walked in because I would have loved to have learned more from her—super friendly! In fact, everyone was terrific. The atmosphere is inviting, the decor is great as are their graphics. And, their in-store prices actually match their Leafly prices, so thanks!

The good stuff is in at this place. Only stuff that has touched my sky high tolerance in months. The Gorilla Glue #4 is better than most of the shatter and wax I have been getting! Atmosphere is great! I walked in and was greeted by the friendly counter person with a smile. I was told I would have to wait a few minutes to go into the back room and that there was coffee, for free!, while I wait. After a minute or two you get called back and buzzed through the door that goes into the back room. You walk into the back room and get waved over to your own counter where you are helped by your own clerk, one on one, no crowd or rush. Totally awesome! Selection is good. Everything looked good, no shwag here.The prices were a little more than most places, but, hey, you get what you pay for. Five stars all the way. Definitely will be going back here, will probably be my go to place.

Great dispensary. We were in the neighborhood and we have both always wanted to check the place out. The lobby is super welcoming and comfortable like a log cabin. Gary the reptile is the coolest! All the strains they had were amazing which made the decision hard. The budtendress was great. We ended up getting a sampler pack and all the strains have been delicious so far. Will definitely return!

Collective Awakenings is a peaceful, earthy but elegant space located in an unassuming Sandy storefront. The spacious and gently lit lobby gives of a sort of coastal vibe, and the desk is staffed by perpetually happy folks. The sales floor is beautifully appointed, and the budtenders knowledgeable and professional. My requests for something "for working in the garden" or "a sativa and an indica to enjoy while preparing and consuming a large meal for friends" have always led to the perfect bud for the occasion. These folks know their product and are happy to discuss it in detail. The green medicine bottle packaging is attractive, simply add a bow for a festive stocking stuffer! This is the perfect shop for first time recreational buyers.

Jackie was my bud tender and she is so great! So friendly, knows the strains and products well, and hipped me to some up and coming products.That House Blend freebie for being a first timer was beyond amazing. Her energy and good vibe made the sunny day a lot brighter. I loved the wait area, too. The receptionist was also very friendly. I'm such a dummy, I should have gotten her name. We were talking about some of the weird dispensaries we've been to in my neck of the woods, near Forest Grove/Newberg. It was nice to talk to someone who knew exactly what I meant...LOL! And I loved Gary! :) I look forward to coming back here. So many reasons to come back....

First time visit. Some of the best, nicest staff I've encountered. No pressure. Helpful recommendations. I'll be back. Parking can be a challenge.

First time you walk into this shop you're immediately transported from the bustle of NE Sandy to a warm inviting lobby with a huge tree sculpture installation.
Staff is warm inviting and attentive, huge lobby area with some really cool, rare items like a pre-prohibition marijuana tax stamp and a muh-fuckin lizard that holds it down on his lil heat rock.
Once transferred to the retail space it's pretty standard stuff as far as the dispensary experience goes. A knowledgable, competent staff is there to guide you should you lose your way.
Overall a great spot with competitive prices, some of the highest quality brands on the market, and an atmosphere that just feels inviting.
If you're in there stop and smell the Mt. Hood Magic x Durban!!! B💣mb.com

At first I was only shopping at a dispensary near my house because of convenience but then my friend convinced me to try out Collective Awakenings. I was so glad that she did because it's my favorite dispensary now. It's an amazing place.
The lobby is huge and welcoming. They have free drinks and usually candy too.
The staff there are the most knowledgable about their strains than I've ever encountered. They are extremely helpful with getting you the kind of high that you want to be. I went there to get a high CBD for my pain but also one to do creative stuff. She instantly grabbed a few for me to smell and explained what each strain was like. I've been happy with every purchase so far. Plus, they have these little $7 joints that are super rad.
