Fine place to visit if you're in a jam. Service is good, but this dispensary lacks quality weed. Nearly every strain, no matter which shelf, has small nugs in its jar. I've stopped by multiple different months and the quality is consistently low. You're paying too much money for popcorny nugs here.

I actually had to wait outside with the girl working to finish her cigarette and then go to the ATM while I watched my bus go by TWICE because she was on break!! Really?! Give me a f#*^ing break!!!

Hard to get to, you have to drive through a neighborhood into a cul-de-sac. Very clinical setting. I asked for tongs twice to look at the buds. he sheepishly handed them over and said "we don't really like people playing with them." Being the nice guy I am, I did the guy a solid by immediately handing them back and promptly exiting the premises so as not to disturb the buds. I can only hope they remain in pristine condition in their jars, free from molestation in the grimy hands of the customers.

Ridicuously overpriced and awful customer service. bought some edibles and was given the incorrect product, granted, the packages were similar. I didn't notice until I was out the door with my overpriced exit bag. no chance of exchanging since I already left the store. oh, and the edibles were almost a year old! gross! no wonder... Do yourself a favor and visit literally any other dispensary.

For some reason they keep charging me tax for my cartridge used to pay $26 for them med $30 for rec now they just have a flat fee for $30 Which basically means they are charging me tax on my prescription thats a big no no you guy's better figure it out

I used to work here I absolutely would not recommend to anyone, the management is trash and they fired me for doing things the way they taught me. Everyone thinks the CEO Rosa is a c un t and it seems like she especially doesn't give a fuck about this location or any of her employees. My friend got me the job there because he worked there for over a year WITH NO OLCC. None of the shit they do is by the book. Everyone smokes on the clock, no one takes 10 minute breaks they just leave as they please, the manager told me to leave the store unlocked over night when it was icey because he didn't want to drive out. I was employee of the month, I showed up before and more than all the keyholders and the manager. And I won a competition for upselling product and im sure I'll never get my prize since they haven't had a district manager for 2 weeks. F@ck this place just go down the street to deans greens. You'll get help from someone more qualified, and your weed containers won't come from where the employees take a sh!t.

Part of the LaMota dispenseries here in PDX. Small shop, but a great place. Good selection of flower, and the strains I got were all outa sight. Staff was super friendly and helpful as well.

I purchased a med/top shelf eighth for $40. I wasn't paying attention, when the nice woman was dispensing it out. When I got home, I found it to be entirely scraggly-micro-muffins; with a lot of unnecessary stems. The smoke itself is good, so not a total loss. Yet, I later saw another dispensary selling the same bud, with an accurate description of unkempt; for a lot less.

Worst prices for Medical patients in Portland! Was a fan of La Mota before rec started. Now the prices are insanely astronomical! Used to be $35 an eighth for top shelf and they always had nice $100 ounces. Now they charge $50 an eighth for Medical for top shelf! And some of the $50 eighths cotain brown popcorn nugs! La Mota seems to be one of the shops looking to take advantage of people who aren't familiar with the going rate for Medical cannabis is in our area. $350 an ounce? And I don't want to mention it's proximity to other spots because that is against leafly review policy, but let's just say there are a lot of other dispensaries in Portland and you would be wasting your money by buying your medicine here! Your money will go a lot further elsewhere!

Well for a start, they are making up numbers for their THC ratings. Or they're just testing and selling drastically different product. They have quite a bit of variety, but expect some ugly bud. Plus the staff are sullen and inattentive, and offered no insight on navigating the massive menu. I looked at and smelled easily a dozen strains to the clear chagrin of the potseller, and found clear disparities between apparent quality and posted chemical content in all of them. Still, I bought a couple strains, willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. But, as I expected, the bud simply does not perform. Certainly not with the potency of a substance meant to contain 28% thc by mass or volume. Plus, the pre-98 OG was brown and looked like it had been in a poorly sealed jar since before 1998. God. This place is grim, even for a shack on a cul-de-sac in gresham.

This is a really cool spot to hit. They have all kids of strains. Great prices for everyone. And they have great customer service thru their budtenders. They answer all questions and serve u up some good flower. Thanks guys

great selection but two major detractors; no ATM and bad prices. if a gram is $15, an 8th of the same product shouldn't be $55. Feels like gouging, won't be returning.

This place is pricey! The selection for hybrids was impressive, but hardly any sativas were offered, so that's a bummer. Also, several strains I checked out were trimmed very poorly - lots of water leaf and timber visible - so I certainly wasn't impressed with that. The guy that helped me was a little too eager to sell, too, because he said the phrase "This one is my favorite" about 4 times. I guess they're ALL his favorite? Lol. Anyway...I'd look elsewhere for weed, unless you have lots of $ to blow. PS: they do take debit, so that's cool.

The place is hard to find and when I finally got there they didn't have the strain (green crack) which the advertised on Leafly. When I was going to buy an alternate strain they were charging way more than the price as advertised on leafly. Lame.

I went to the 52nd location and was not impressed with the knowledge of the budtenders there, but when I came to the 99th location I was highly impressed! The staff was welcoming and personable like as if they knew me which I liked! I wasn't choked like I was with the SE spot, I'll tell a friend to tell a friend about this place!

Came in to pick up some concentrate and flower. Was incorrectly told that the oil was c02 and in actuality it was BHO. I took one hit and threw up for an hour and have had a massive headache for the last four hours. And the Blue Dream quarter I bought was covered in rotten leaves. Half my flower is pink! I'm coming in tomorrow and I'm bringing it all back. I'm so upset and disappointed with you guys. Please inform your employees as to what the actual products are that you carry. I have auto immune diseases that your bad products just made worse. I really hope you have a way to fix this massive screw up.

This place is awesome. I stopped by to grab me a quarter of some headband and It was nice to see that they take it from the jar and weigh it right Infront of you, no prepackaged crap. The stuff I got wasn't bad quality either so I'm very impressed and will be coming back again

Lots of inexpensive options to pick from. Picked up a quarter for under $40 with tax. I'll be back next time I'm in this side of town.

I've only been here once so I'm a little reticent to be leaving a review already, however I can say this: -Prices are pretty competitive, especially if you take advantage of the red eye special - The location is pretty shady TBH. It's just like a shack at the end of the neighborhood cul-de-sac. I almost missed it. - The bud is okay. I went here specifically for the ATF, a strain I love, and was listed on the menu at 29%. the eighth I got says the batch (lm91274) is tested at 25%, and looks a little desiccated/old/stale. The flavor isn't there but potency alright. - They bribe leafly users with a free 1g preroll if you leave a 5 star review here, which is BS. I don't know if this is a common practice but I dislike it. - Service was fine. They didn't seem super knowledgable and into it, but I wasn't super inquisitive either as I already had an idea what I wanted.. They were friendly and let me look at the bud.

this location used to offer cartridges for medical patients with CBD and thc 1:1 now it's only rec..... charging patients the tax is not legal.
