really nice guy running the place.i think his hearts in the right place but......walk up to a counter where you cant see the meds or menu.you have to step back a few steps, then walk up and ask to see it. i cant imagine why they don put the meds menu right in front of you. there is no way to browse quickly at the jars. they used to have them all stacked in a case but it wasnt lit well and the samples were still hard to see with fumbling through all these jars. meanwhile they have this nice display case full of the stuff people are least likely to want to see on display. heads up! put your herb in wide shallow trays in that case with a little card. arrange according to donation. put a bright ass light in the case. stand or sit behind it and dont make people stand at that tall window like they are ordering plumbing parts that they are ordering by number.put all the shit in that case up in a display or behind the counter if its not of interest like multible packs of the same medibles or whatever.stand there and talk with your customers. another thing is the selection. i dont know why they carry so many mediocre batches at once.selection is great but i couldnt even count them and there were very few that stood out as even nice and nothing was outstanding. raise your bar in general. only carry a small handfull of crappy cheap nugs and put the variety where people like to see it, on the top shelf. no one cares about seeing 10 D- choices indiscriminately shuffled with the mediocre and ok stuff with no way to figure it out exept to stand on your toes and ask after repeatedly stepping back and forth so you can read the menu ask for the jar which is all the way back across the back room.and learn some customer service while youre at it. the budtender dude is cold and less than helpful on top of not knowing shit about the varieties. and if you want clones definately dont go here. some bullshit seed company called stoney girl gardens is the bulk of their strains and you have to order 2 weeks in advance and ive heard you wont have good luck getting it filled on time or in full.of course there is no real decent off the shelf clones in eugene. better luck on craigslist than ordering strains here.

I wanna start by saying that I do really appreciate the selection in edibles and concentrates. As far as flowers go, why have so many unexceptional options. And when I try to see all their top shelf options, they make it nearly impossible with there apparent lack in knowledge. they have a lot of room to improve as far as costumer service. You kinda have to guess by looking across the room at big jars, reading the names and asking to see each individual jar and all I want to do is find some good, tasty strains. I understand that, unfortunately you gotta watch out for dishonest people stealing meds on display. But You guys should really think about changing your system for organizing your bud.. There is a new guy that just started volunteering there who seems to be atleast making a legit effort to help and offer suggestions

Emerald City offers an ok experience at best. The woman at the front desk was very talkative and warm and made me feel welcome. They younger guy who helped me in back was silent, and didn't make any eye contact. It had that weird uncomfortable vibe. He wasn't rude, he just truly lacked a sense for customer service.
They have large selection, low donations, but the quality is just mediocre for the low donation. The top notch stuff is like 12 bucks a gram. I see no logic in this when most dispensaries have a 10$ donations a gram donation for their best flowers?Also I found confusion telling apart the indoor from the outdoor. This is something that I feel is important to know as a buyer.
On the positive they give you glass jars to take your meds home in, and they did give me a cookie. Will I be back? Not anytime soon, I prefer the Micro-guild and Harvest Moon. If I were to pick the two that really seem to have it together those would be the dispensaries. Maybe Emerald City should take note.

Nort,
Thank you for your feedback! I am sorry for any confusion that arose from our telephone conversation. When you called and I explained the procedures for membership and for consigning excess, you asked about the range of reimbursement for excess medicine and I informed you about the various tiers that our growers have set. You mentioned a figure in the mid-to-upper range, which I told you fell within our other growers.
At no time, did I commit to a sight-unseen, untested acceptance of your excess for our patients. In a year with so much mold, that would be insane and against our commitment to our patients' health and well being! Perhaps because you have little experience in growing medical grade cannabis and consigning to a medical marijuana facility, you are unfamiliar with industry guidelines. But, friend, NO facility in Oregon would accept and contract for sight-unseen medicine. I specifically told you that you would have to bring in a sample of your excess meds. for our budtender to evaluate. He alone handles the intake.
As to your feedback on any suggested reimbursement rate by our budtender for your excess crop, you asked for a figure that he thought was high for the quality of your medicine, which lacked test results, and "jar appeal" to justify it. When he showed you a sample from our lowest reimbursement tier, and pointed out its quality in relation to your own, I fear he may have hurt your feelings. I am sorry if he did so, we appreciate every grower, who tries to ease the suffering of our neighbors: it constantly reenforces our faith in humanity and its goodness. While we are always interested in adding to our strains, medibles, concentrates, and topicals for our patients, we cannot always reach an agreement with prospective consignors. Sometimes it is because a grower's reimbursement rate exceeds the quality of their medicine, as in this case. As your skills and strains improve, and again if you have excess medicine, since you live so close, we hope to be able to pair it with the patients who are suffering in our community. Thank you!

This place has very professional and knowledgeable Bud Tenders. They test all strains for quality and THC content.
They also deliver.
What a wonderful world we live in, that you can call the weed store, choose from 50 different strains, place an order, and have weed delivered to you in a glass jar!
They have THC/CBD info available as well as how the meds rate on the M-Scale.
In addition to Buds they also have: Medibles, RSO, Tinctures, and devices for purchase to consume the Buds.

this place is kind of ran down and there is no possible parking.
once you get in be prepared to wait, by allowing only one person in the back... the average wait is 10-15 minutes.
the back has more medicine than any other dispensary, hands down, but it is also scattered everywhere. the prices are even more scattered... there is no simple, low, mid, and high range prices... so while shopping i had to try and keep track of what was what and immediatley lost track. long story short on that
medicine and edibles and variety was awesome... i thought i found my new spot.
that is until....
i ordered 22 clones. it was 11 different strains 2 a piece at $20 donations. all clones are special order and take 2 weeks to be delivered, but they are the only ones in the city offering stoney girls strains... so it was worth the wait.
2 weeks later i arrived to find another happy customer leaving with a box of clones... we talked a bit, he loves stoney girls to and got a dozen clones. so i go in, and again wait 12-15 minutes... but no worries, i get my clones and more candies!
i got in the back they explain to me they only have 11 ... but hey at least i still get one of every strain. so i pay for them, they pack them up and i still leave somewhat happy.
long story short
4 weeks later... no survivors.. they all had broad mites so bad that i had to throw them out... there was also no phenotypical difference between the strains so i am sure they were all the same strains renamed. 220$ of my patients money down the drain!!!
i will not be going back again.

Two owners one who cares about patients and the other not so much, meds are ok but still over priced you can go to other places in town to get kick ass meds and a smile for a lower donation price ...You do the math. But i'll not be back at what ever the cost or so called deal.

David has a great shop with a massive selection. It is truly a gem for lane county!
We get to see shops all over Oregon with our culinary medible and this place has the patient in mind first with the choices they make. Very comfortable and professional. It will be the only place in Eugene you can find Coma Treats.
give them a try and you will be hooked.

They dont split up the strains and bud tender was not friendly.Enjoy the extra $ 30 donation you charged, and i hope it doesnt happen to anyone else.

The staff makes you feel welcome. The reimbursement experience is best in town. I expect that as they find success they will improve the atmosphere and be able to be more critical of the quality of medicine they choose to reimburse. I suggest showing them your support.

So, I checked this place out, because like many people, I was out of meds, and looking for a licensed shop.
I came in knowing what I wanted- and I told the budtenders that I wanted that particular strain. They put some jars in my face, and I was having a hard time deciding, so they threw out a major deal -- A zip of blueberry for 40% off!
They let me smell the jar, and it smelled a little grassier than other Blueberry strains I have encountered, but they did look like dank nugs. I asked them "IS THERE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THIS BATCH?", and they told me no.
Well, there is. It is seeded. That's right- I was sold seeded bud (immature seeds, but seeds nonetheless) at a medical marijuana dispensary.
I feel duped. I asked, and you guys could have told me- I am sure you knew. Thanks for pushing that bud, I now know what you guys are about. I can't go back, because I no longer trust your budtenders- sorry.
Also, for everyone else, med donations are slightly higher than average, but they do give you glass jars, which is probably the coolest part of the shop.

A very average place when I visited. The setup as of a couple of weeks ago was still the "menu in the front, herb in the back" setup that everyone describes. Kinda stinks.
They have some good herb, there, but you really have to SEARCH for it.
This place needs an overhaul if it is going to get me to come back as a repeat customer.
Check them out, or don't. Whatever.

Honest people with a large selection of nice meds. got a slick vaporizer also for nice donations and the green was also fairly priced it seemed also. Many other options like tincture, lotions and kif as well.

Nice selection of flowers. The quality is very decent.

David run's a great professional establishment, so much that other Dispensaries can only dream of achieving this level of professionalism.
David and Emerald City appear to be doing business for the long term. The offer discounts for bulk and specials regularly. They replace and discount dry weed as they find it.
The volunteers are compassionate and helpful as well.
It's refreshing to have such a great resource in our little city of Eugene.
When I need medicine I'm not going anywhere else except Emerald City. I've tried the other places.

please take all my reviews down if you are going to take down half of My review. its misleading

I don't know, they kind of take themselves too seriously and the pricing is a little difficult to understand especially if you are medicated, which should be a consideration.
Glass jars for a gram are probably a waste of everybody's money though. Nice look, however but I'd rather pay less.
Speaking of which, a little pricey compared to the same flower down the street and also sold me shatter when I clearly is not for me as a medication when I explained that I vaporized flower to avoid irritating my throat, it should not have been suggested to me that I buy the wax or shatter or whatever they called it for $30. They didn't really explain to me how I should consume it and I couldn't really use it in my Volcano so that was kind of a bum sale. Otherwise, good meds, thanks for being out there and braving the feds and stuff. Good meds just a few gripes like the ones above. I feel if you are donating $12 a gram, you are allowed to gripe.

this was my first time... first off the reviews on leafly were misleading . I walked in and was warmly greeted . they quickly processed me . then let me into the back . I already knew I wanted the grape ape . this bud upon inspection was magazine clean indoor ! boasting a 25.93% THC content . covered in a frost . this medication is great for pain . I also picked up a little of their queen ( good for wake & bake ) . wont put you out . nice hybrid indica dominant . very nice wake up for the high tolerance patient ( 24.88% THC ) . overall I have not seen meds this caliber outside of Portland . keep up the good work ! I will return for sure .
