Columbia River Herbals LLC

Easily the worst store I've ever been to. I keep trying to give it a second chance and it's like they try to disappoint harder each time. Honestly there isn't another choice in town so if the weed were at least decent I would go here. The weed is terrible. It must be something to do with their storage otherwise I don't know how they could have such consistently tasteless, dry, stemmy excuse for bud. Never seen a sticky bud here. The service is so bad it's almost comical. Expect to spend 30+min waiting. Don't expect them to be open on time. Don't buy pre rolls here under any circumstance. Don't expect the prices to be accurate or consistent (i.e. menu sometimes includes tax, preroll sheet doesn't include tax. Deal sheet doesn't include tax) A "deal" here is what you would expect to pay anywhere else on a regular day. None of the staff offer knowledgeable recommendations (I get the impression they wonder why you are asking about flavor differences between cardboard weed A and cardboard weed B). Made my broken car troubles so much worse that I had to go here. I hope someone else opens up shop in town. Maybe a bit of competition would help them with their game.

I was taken aback by the warehouse feel of the place...not very inviting, even though there is a receptionist out front checking id's. The dude who waited on us, the ONLY ONE WORKING, would hardly be considered a budtender. He had no recommendations, but considering there were only 3--three!!--varieties to choose from, he could have spoke highly of at least one!! We purchased two if the three strains and to say we were disappointed would be an understatement!! The buds were dry and lacked any signs of life....they torched quickly in my bowl....poof and gone!! Hardly no buzz to be had. Will drive an hour, if needed, to another dispensary from here on out. Will never return to this extreme example of what not to do with your marijuana store...

Normaly I'd be slightly put off by such utter ineptness in our industry when everyone else has such nice stores and awesome products, but these guys, I just feel sorry for these guys. Hands down the lamest I've seen, ever, in several states. The other reviews say it all.

When entering I was asked to remove my hat jacket and sweatshirt with no reason given. When I asked why they said if I didn't they'd call the cops. If I wanted to feel like a criminal I'd buy weed from the sketchy guy in my apartment complex.

Wish I had something positive to say, I'm not "out to get" this dispensary. That said, I will not be visiting them again. The problem is not the atmosphere (sparse, dimly lit and feels like a half-empty gift shop) or the strains (very few popular or known strains) or the staff (cordial at best, friendly would not be my description). It's the contract you must sign if you want to purchase medical cannabis. They ask you to agree to a whole page of clauses, I counted about 16. For the most part, all these clauses basically say that you agree to comply with all the OMMP laws-- but by being an OMMP patient you've already made this same agreement with the State of Oregon, violating which is of course punishable by law. That this dispensary wants you to also enter into a legal contract with them is very odd. And yes, it is in fact a legal contract-- at the very bottom it has the whole "I, being of sound mind and body, blah blah agree to everything blah blah" section. What gave me the most problem was Clause 14. This states that you agree to "defend" the dispensary in multiple ways, including legally, in the event the dispensary is subject to legal proceedings. Yes, that's right, you must agree to testify in a court of law in defense of the dispensary if they are ever sued or charged with a crime. It doesn't matter if you are on their side or not, you're legally bound to defend them in court-- or they can sue you! I politely refused to sign the form, citing the problem with Clause 14, and walked out. I will not return to this business ever again, unless this policy of signing a contract to purchase medicine is rescinded. I highly recommend no one else patronize them until they publicly announce that they've done away with the contract. It is not in any patient's best interest for this policy to be in place.

Stopped by here after having crossed from Boise on our way home to Pdx and it was almost closing time. I ran out and waited to get here since this was the first Oasis. I'm partly to blame because I had to use the bathroom (#1). I placed my order and when I came back my order was basically ready. I didn't look until we were back on I84. I got a crappy gram with a lot of stems. The selection was weak, there wasn't any flower with anything higher than an 18% THC level. They were friendly enough but I won't be coming back. sorry people pick it up a little.

What is going on here? The flower selection is strange. Either something I've never heard of or low quality. They seem to have completely changed the staff too (in such a short time since opening) or at least I haven't seen my favorite bud tender for a long time. I'm giving a 3star for service because he was awesome and always made good recommendations for me and left a smile on my face no matter how bad I was feeling. Recently though I have to say the service is not that great. The store really needs to be warmed up a little too. It looks like someone cleaned Off their back patio and put all of their extra tables and furnishings into the store. And there is so much empty space. I wasn't even sure if they were open for business a few times. It's a very odd atmosphere. The new front desk person is nice enough but contributes to the odd vibe of the place. I'm going to give it a few weeks and go in again. Hopefully things will be better but I might just have to make the drive to Hood River or LaGrande.

Just weird. Not a professional store. This is the type of place you'd think, "I'll bet a couple of 24 year old kids decided to open a store." Only thing missing was my giant wire spool table from college. Selection not great, guys don't seem to know a lot, very little selection, and overall I plan to let the place mature for another 6 months and try again.

Honestly I have a had a few fairly lame experiences there, mostly about selection but that was a while back. Look, If you are in a hurry they might not be the best choice. but 1. quit being in a hurry 2. they are getting it down now. Customer service has gotten so much better over the last few months and so has selection. Over all. Good place, Good people!

Pass, nothing note worthy, expensive and not much variety. First dispensary in The Dalles, but luckily a new company opened in town. I'd avoid wasting your time and money here.

My first time in was kind of shotty for recreational. A couple weeks later I returned to find it completely improved we a hefty, mouth watery selection! Always great customer service.

consistantly disappointing, highest prices, out dated product and poorly trained staff. no discount for med patient? really? How does that even work? By far the shadiest shop around the dalles and also my only bad dispensary experience. I am not just being negative.

I just went in the other day and they had 3 folks working, all very knowledgeable of their products, and had about 30+ strains. The other reviewers must have been there when they just opened as it looks like the have it together now.

I don't know why this place has so many crappy reviews. I'll just chalk it up to the constant negativity that some of the local residents tend to have. They offered a good selection of flower, edibles, and soda. Both of the employees there were extremely accommodating and very friendly. We will be back!

Friendly and knowledgeable staff that focuses on the patient experience. A great new addition to the gorge!

Great selection of extracts and edibles (awesome sodas). Budtenders are friendly and helpful. Really glad The Dalles has a good dispensary because there's not much else going on haha

No complaints lots a variety a lot of them seemed the same with diff named but don't get it twisted, they got sum fire. Will gladly return and do business with again🌟🌟🌟🌟

everyone here is wonderful and i have always gotten fantastic service! the menu is great and the store is really nice to visit! try the blue diesel :) my favorite!

Just visiting from California, stopped in and found that the other reviews were false. They have a selection of 10 or 12 different buds, as well as concentrates. They also have glass and growing equipment. They were very friendly. I would definitely visit again if I'm up by the Dalles.

friendly, courteous staff. decent selection. no action for medical cardholders.

Well, at first I was disappointed after I brought a defective Select cartridge from them and it just tasted burnt all the time. I knew it is had nothing do with my batteries, they worked just fine with other cartridges. Anyway, I was concerned that they might would give me hard time and won't exchange it. But I was wrong, the service is outstanding and it was quick. They replaced defective product with other brand and I am impressed. Definitely will come back again.

The employees are very friendly, and the stock is growing! The flower and extracts are top shelf quality, and I've been satisfied with all of my purchases! Can't wait to see how they expand in the coming year!
