John B was excellent: knowledgeable and listened well to make recommendations to suit my needs specifically. Michigan growers will hopefully develop a larger range of ^CBT:THC sativa buds, concentrates and edibles. I am relatively new to paraplegia and neuropathic pain and the medicines I acquired help a lot !

Staff was super friendly and helpful. John was my bud tender and he was very informative, patient and kind. He helped me track what I was spending, made great recommendations, and generally made the experience great. Product was all top notch. I will definitely shop here again.

This was my first time in a dispensary, I didn't know what to really expect. I must say the staff was so helpful they took their time to answer all my questions, even though I had a ton. Tori recommend I try a verity and recommend 3 different strains. I LOVE THEM ALL. They had little cards explaining what the effects would be and everything. Great selection of top quality meds I highly recommend you pay them a visit.

Stopped in within an hour of the closing time and still had a Clean, professional, personal experience. Meds are handled properly, great variety of indicas/sativas & hybrids, everything is well labeled and staff was super kind. One of the nicer kept shops in the state. Keep it up!

My favorite place to go. Was hoping you’d be open by today for my birthday for the free bday gift but hoping you’ll be open soon! Always super friendly here.

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.

Where do I begin! 🤔🤗
Ok so I’ve been to more than a few dispensaries in my day but Lake Effect is by far the best actual “experience” if you will available right now in MI. There are a lot of great things about this place for sure. Two things that stand out to me: Johnny (not sure of spelling) is a total asset as a Budtender (I was very impressed) and beautiful marketing designs. Add some kick @ss meds in the mix and we’ve got ourselves a real party lol. Keep it up! 😏😉💪🏽💪🏽

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.

Awesome selection, good pricing, and helpful friendly staff.

I love sitting there and seeing multiple new first time patients today like good for the patients and good for Lake Effect. Those patients came to the right place that's for sure.
