I love how kind and quick they are they always seem concerned about me as a person not as a patient with money. I love this place hate the parking lot and exit lol.

Great place friendly and knowledgeable staff! Love the educational aspect too. Only drawback is the menu options get slim quick, but understandable given the few dispensaries in the area.

My first time back since the remodle ,the place looks much nicer but really dont like the fact that i can not see a majority of the meds they have i ask what concentrates they have and dude pulls out 1 puck and dont say much about what else they have. For me as a customer i like to be able to see whats available,it was displayed were you could see before now its not im come to buy meds shouldn't have to guess what you have

I wish the bud tenders would stop shaking the jars to make them smell. All they are doing is knocking off the trichomes.

It is very nice to know that medical patients in the Kalamazoo and Portage are can go to a place like this one to get their meds. The place is great, their staff is friendly and they have a very decent variety of flowers. It is just a matter of time until this place can develop at its full-potential and help individuals with an even greater variety of products. But, needless to say, I was pleased with the quality of their flowers. Keep the spirit up Lake-Effect. See you soon.

Back in the day, you'd have to call some guy who calls a guy who lives with his mom and needs to meet you at a Walmart parking lot to give you some decent unknown strain of canabis in a plastic bag.... and now here we are with cartridges, brownies, drinks, hard candies, - of course all of the edibles are vaccumed sealed. They also have about 30 different strains of regular canabis and a nice selection of pre-rolled joints. THC levels from 12-24%.
This place is so professional as well. Flat screen TVs for the menus, they'll walk you through the whole process, they have specials and take credit cards. Just crazy. What a time to be alive.

Absolute best quality. Only place I've been to within 100 miles that has such a high quality. bad side is the price comes with the quality. it's not over priced, lansing doesn't have the same quality. if you're looking for a cheaper buds with great quality than either "Best Buds" or "cornerstone welness" in lansing is where you want to go. Promise you won't find a higher quality than Lake effect!

honestly, I was happy too see so many people in this store. at first I felt uncomfortable considering there was roughly 25 people waiting to be called back but I checked in and was seen within 20 minutes of the check in. they are really nice here and explain everything too you without you feeling like a complete idiot if your new. I haven't slept for more then 3 hours in the last month, these guys recommended some strains that made me go night night real fast. iam impressed and relieved. so relieved in fact iam going back around noon today for more. my first visit I spent 15 bucks and got everything I needed including a free gram. if your considering going to this dispensary I highly recommend it, and even if you are comfortable with your current dispensary, check these guys out and
get your free gram. once you buy here, you'll always buy here! thanks guys.

I always leave this place in a better mood than when I arrived. The medicine options are endless and top quality. The staff are knowledgeable, respectful, and take time answering your questions. So thrilled they are back open!

Great place and great people! The community really needs this dispensary to reopen.

We had our first trip to a dispensary. It had a nice atmosphere and although busy, had a reasonable wait time. Eric was our bud tender. He was very helpful and answered questions without judging or hurrying us. He seemed well informed and guided us towards different strains that might benefit our health issues. Overall we had a comfortable and successful visit and will go back to Lake Effects again.
