The absolute best, and it only gets better. Out of the 9-10 places in town I've tried, this is my #1. Amazing quality medicine at reasonable donations, outstanding variety and their stock rotates frequently. The 'tenders are always amazingly friendly and knowledgeable - any issues I have they know just the right thing to take care of it. I'm in love.

groovy place with plenty of parking in the back so I wasn't driving in circles looking for a place to park the whip. No door fee was nice, the medibles selection made me feel like I was in 7Eleven. aka heaven. I picked up some girl scout cookies thats some fire. No smoking which is lame but understandable. needless to say I'll be picking up meds here again.

So I have been going to Collective Awakenings for a while now, ever since I got my card in fact, and I have to say:
This is the Best Dispensary in Portland.
Seriously: after trying a few others, they don't even compare. The service is always excellent. The folk who work here are ALWAYS friendly and helpful. The strains are the most potent you will find anywhere. The prices are excellent (with plenty of specials available to make them even better). The edibles are FANTASTIC both in taste and potency...
Really I couldn't possibly recommend these folks more. If you are looking for a dispensary in the Portland area: look no further. They have it all!

I've been here a few times, and its definitely cool. Out of the dispensaries I've been to, this is in my top three. The employees are friendly and extremely helpful IF you already know a bit about weed. They keep a nice menu, not the biggest, but its all serious quality. Their Blues are particularly good. Only wish they kept the music down, and carried a low THC, high CBD strain.

These people are slick. Their operation runs very smoothly and they always seem to be busy. They have a rather hectic vibe, which I find mildly unpleasant, which is why I didn't give them top marks. The staff are friendly and knowledgable and they are able to make personalized recommendations. The selection is one of the best I've seen. Large, rotating menu of flowers and concentrates and a stable selection of medibles, including some low in THC and high in CBDs. They also have something I haven't seen anywhere else. A pen vaporizer, that connects with strain specific hash oil cartridges. Very portable, very cool and very expensive. These people are quite a bit out of my way but they are worth an occasional excursion.

I have been going here for over a year and it is hands down the most professional place in the city! Great staff and most of all ~ compassionate and knowledgeable!

This was my very first time going to a dispensary and it was a great experience with visiting here. They had alot of choices and I was given alot of information from the staff in regards to my conditions and what would be beneficial to myself. I have since tried them and they work great! I will be back soon.

this is the first dispensary I went to after I got my oh em /em /p card.when you walk in the door you are greeted by a smiling face and the people in the back are very very knowledgeable about the medication they provide. The first time I went I had no idea what I was doing but they helped me out so much I told them what I needed it for and they picked out two that were just perfect for me. I rely on their judgment and that they have the best product/medications there is out there. It is so clean and run so professionally I am amazed. I wish all the dispensaries / collective we're like this. I went to one where I watched a couple of the employees medicate at the front counter where you donate for your medications. Another one was across the hall and they both when they were done medicating left and drove away. My understanding is that is not what you are supposed to do. I would recommend collective awakenings to anyone who is looking for a knowledgeable clean friendly fun dispensary to go to this is the one for you. Thank you all at collective awakenings for being who you are and what you do.

Sadly, both times I went here I received buds that were not flushed properly (if at all..) I have tried 4 different strains including Pineapple SSH, Blue dream, Neville's 99, and one other I forgot. Every strain here looks and smells good, and to any average smoker, would feel like a pot of gold of a stash. The bud just turned black after 3 or 4 hits, and would not ash properly, which is a pretty good indicator of leftover minerals in the plant, that are not combustible at normal lighter temperatures. Another weird thing with this stuff, was that you got really stoned right away, but it seemed like you started coming down solid after 5 minutes.. If you know anything about decarboxylation, then you know that when the bud doesnt burn properly, the THC is not properly activated as the carbons are not reacting in the gunk plant matter. It also got me really concerned that these buds are tested for THC% but not impurities.. I feel like this is a pressing issue as not getting "clean" buds like you pay for is not only a waste of your money, and time, but a real health concern as well..
thank you for taking the time to read this.

Walked in and was greeted by the staff immediately. There were a few people in the lobby as it had a cool aura. Always looking for Lab tested meds and found them. I'll be back for sure.

CA has excellent customer service and a great selection. I pass several other places on the way to CA but choose to continue going to CA because they are awesome.

This place is a lifesaver! My wife has Rheumatoid Arthritis and since we've taken the advice of several of the remarkably helpful staff she's been able to drop three prescription narcotics in favor of tinctures and edibles. Not to mention the knowledge the staff have provided on the plethora of strains they have available for the relief of many symptoms ranging from pain to nausea to stress. Even directing us to products better suited for daytime use and also nighttime (sleepy time) use. It's better than finding a great shop, it feels like finding a group of friends.
Thanks soo much!!

These reviews speak for themselves. Wow!
Truly feel that this is the finest dispensary in Portland, proper. Wish I lived closer.
From the best selection of flowers to concentrates to edibles -- virtually anything you could possibly need or imagine is here..
Nice packaging / labeling.
Lastly, but maybe most important.. the staff is incredible. Very welcoming and very helpful.. just enthusiastic people w/ an upbeat mood.
Just a very comfortable spot, folks. From the waiting room to the back room, this venue offers a unique consumer experience!
