This place is OK. But there are way better options out there, within steps from here. I've gone here 3 or 4 times. I've only had my medical card for a few months, and I don't quite understand why this place is as popular as it is.
It is secure, and you'll have to empty your pockets and walk through a metal detector when you go in. You stand in a short line to give your ID to the young woman behind the bulletproof glass, and are told it will be a few minutes. While this process is pretty typical, I found it to be a little cold and impersonal. They see a lot of people come through the door here, and I'm sure I'm just another number to them, so it makes sense. But it would make more sense for them to be more warm and welcoming as a first impression, as this kinda sets the tone for the rest of your experience. There have probably been about a dozen people in the waiting room on average when I've gone, and the wait time has been about 10 minutes, typically. Not acceptable, but again, I rarely have to wait at all elsewhere. When I was called back, I was surprised to see that the bud room was actually pretty small and chaotic, and it seems like there's always a bit of tension in the air, as though the workers are uncomfortable and annoyed. As far as I understand, they're expanding, so hopefully this will help in that regard. (unfortunately, I've seen a lot of dispensaries go too far in the other direction and have a ton of wasted floorspace). The (as far as I've seen) all-female budtenders are generally pleasant enough, but I get the impression that I'm supposed to be impressed with them for some reason, and I'm not. They move quickly and the transaction is more of a brief exchange, rather than an exploration and discussion. This makes sense, given the number of customers they accommodate, but I feel hurried, and pressured to utilize their time efficiently - and it's not that I care to waste anyone's time, but I definitely feel more relaxed at other dispensaries. On one occasion, one of the budtenders got rude with me because she misunderstood what I told her and started suggesting things over my budget, and then acted like it was my fault somehow when I had to repeat. I know what I said, but even if I had been the one to have made the mistake, she should've been easygoing enough to move on without an attitude.
As far as the product goes, they've got a huge selection of all categories of items and bud, and having only visited a few times, obviously haven't tried a ton of it. I was sold a couple of very mediocre distillate cartridges by a budtender that suggested them, and knowing how I could have spent that $60 now, I find it disappointing that those were recommended to me. I also relied on them to suggest a couple of different sativas, and they were relatively inexpensive, so I couldn't have expected them to be much better than mediocre as well. As other reviewers have mentioned, their house shatter is kind of a disaster. Please take your $25 elsewhere for a gram of shatter.
With the completely unpretentious Flavors and the posh Reef a mile down the road, there's no reason to go here, unless you're looking for something specific that is out of stock elsewhere.

First visit. Walked out with more than a smile. Best experience so far!

If you like good weed and good service, don't go to The House of Dank. The Dank has been my favorite and only go to for 3 years. Sadly, I am ending my relationship with The Dank. The Dank was given many chances. After about the 3rd or 4th time of paying for top shelf crap that tasted like garbage and dealing with crabby bartenders who are unknowledgable and impatient, I will never be returning. I will, however, wear my House of Dank t-shirt with pride, but will not be providing my business any longer until they get some better bud and better service. For now, you suck.

HOD has expanded and become such a professional business. The woman behind the counter are always nice and helpful. They have more than enough product to choose from and it’s not ever too long of a wait even if it’s busy. Thanks to PAIGE for being a great tender and never letting me down with the product and all the other tenders who always recommend the best stuff to me!

I used to come here a lot but the.last time I actually went into the store the budtenders were preoccupied and not good. I picked up edibles that were on sale on their site, only to be charged $20 more when I got there, with just an explanation that the sale price was wrong.
I will not be going back, there's much better stores around.
Ordered thru leafly at 540 pm. I didn't receive a confirmation until the next morning... when I was at work. Checked my email and it said I already picked up... I had not. Tried again 2 days later, same result. Tried calling, and they picked up the phone and hung up. USED to be a great place to get your meds. Bud quality is great. Custom service is nonexistant.

Drove by this place a million times, thought to stop in and try it out. Walked in the door to a metal detector and a security guy asking to look inside my purse just to come in. If I have to let someone go through my purse before going through a metal detector just to get my medications, then it isn't a dispensary, it's just a building in Detroit selling weed.
Furthermore, if you have to go through that many security measures, you're not making people feel more safe. If anything, it made me feel less safe and that this place has probably been robbed.
There are plenty of dispensaries in Detroit that do not make you feel this uncomfortable just to get your medications. Plenty of dispensaries without metal detectors with a full security staff. Plenty of dispensaries who don't ask to invade your privacy just for meds.
Didn't give them my business and wouldn't recommend you do either.

Drive 30 mins for them to be absolutely rude to me because I said something didn’t look right!! Not a good way to treat paying customers who come drop $$$ all the time! I know what shit looks like and the gram wasn’t a gram period!!
