Cool Irie Hawiian beach bar vibe, and I like that the owner showcases his surfboards, and helpful but slow staff. They have a good edible and concentrate selection too, but I found the quality of the flower mediocre at best, it was actually terrible. I asked if the flower was older, as it was decayed dry and dingy overly dried yellowed and withered and weak in its appearance. I had a feeling it was old bottom shelf the infamous tell tale smell of stale hay, maybe it was just the particular container it thought initially, but they all smelled and looked similar. Whenever I detect a musky hay smell it's an indicator that the weed has been sitting around too long and often garbage. I give the bud rating a C- for Portland standards. It smokes smoked rather harshly, and the terpene profile was diminished as it was harsh and dry, and I just know it was not a true 28% THC test rating as indicated. I bought a pre roll of OG kush, must've been stood for OLD GANJA! I looked on test tube and just as I suspected it was a year and two weeks old! I Any weed sitting at room temperature for 54 weeks claiming 28% THC is nowhere near fresh nor accurate in its misleading and unacceptable. This was a $1-$2 joint, and priced at $5 for medical patients. I find a 10% discount for first time medical patients stingy. I will not be going back as I think this place should really step up the quality of the flower, or at least not display buds that looks and smoke like like sun burnt greenhouse weed, not high end top shelf organic indoor. They must lower their prices if they are going to pedal stale withered, leafy, weed that looks more like old sun trim that has been sitting in a container for nine months rather than freshly harvested dank nuggets in October!

This is what i remember things were like BEFORE the Recreational market changed most 'Multi Location Dispensaries" into unwelcoming spaces for Medical Patients.
I was helped by Leeann. She was of great benefit. Not just another Budtender who thinks they know marijuana due to the fact they smoke it..
She ACTUALLY KNEW HER PRODUCT AND SCIENCE!
I used to shop here, but left when edible prices went through the roof.
I am back for their $75 Oz, the atmosphere and the educated budtender.
Thank you Kip. The owner. You kept your dream.
Best,

This was the first time I've ever walked out of a dispensary without any product.
This place is pretty new, but it's doing so many things wrong. First of all, there are no prices on anything other than flower. That means if you have to ask how much every single thing costs that you're interested in, and wait while the budtender struggles to figure it out.
The flowers there are not actually very good quality, especially for the price they are asking. A couple bucks less per gram on everything would be a good start.
The person working when I was there was not familiar with the products, was nervous, flustered, and could not even explain which flowers were Indica/Hybrid/Sativa. The owner had to be called 3 separate times in order to find information about certain items. As a patient, it was impossible for me to receive correct information on the products I was interested in. There were even items without any information (strains, test results, etc.) about the product at all, so there are compliancy issues that need to be figured out as well.
The budtender also forgot to give me my card back before I left. When I came back later I was told, "you forgot it". No, no, no. I work at a dispensary, and if we forget to give a patient back their ID we apologize. Not only that, but we offer a free gift for them having to come all the way back because of our mistake. Anything less is just plain rude.
This dispensary was not ready to be opened, and a lot of work needs to be done before they're capable of properly serving their patients. I wish them the best, but it's going to be a long road ahead.

Quality bud and great helpful staff on my first time in. Great speed and service.

the employees seemed to be very out of it!
when weighing out my bud,
rather than carefully placing it into the container,
she just let it spill all over and onto the scale
but then after it weighed
she removed the container and scraped the overflow off the scale and on to the counter (where there was ALREADY a large pile) not in the tube ?
Not in the mood to cause a scene!
I didn't say anything
took my under weighed container and left
NEVER TO RETURN!

Upon first entering this location there was difficulty signing in at the front desk...took quite some time until we were able to get in. once inside the staff was kind and courteous offering you a sniff of every strain... the prices on their specials are tempting and I grabbed a gram of all 4... however it was in this purchase that I was quickly reminded ..."you get what you pay for"... all 4 were dry and crumbly... and 1 I can only describe as shake....reminds me of the street dealer days when I would get the tail end of his stash...or a new dealer of a "friend" would try to sell you shake as "pre ground"... the effects of all four were delightful....but in the time it took me to pick it off the GIANT stems and scoop up the powdery results to smoke, I have to say I'm willing to pay a bit more. Now...like I said... the four strains that I received were on special... I didn't try any of their top shelf strains so I can't speak of them. They package in the normal squeeze pop bottles however their labels leave much to be desired...almost no information?.. maybe it's just me... but if you're going to pay to print the label anyway, you might as well put some more info on there about the plant?....your business?...maybe even a logo?..... don't know if there will be a next time..but I'll definitely add more....IF I do go back.

Came in to grab a gram for a friend's birthday. Ended up getting some decent bud but the tender used her hands to pick out the buds! I don't require gloves but tongs or chopsticks would be appreciated. It's all in the little details...better options are available on Barbur Blvd.

As you first walk in you get hit with that unmistakable smell of Bud, which is nice. Unfortunately it goes down from there. The bud tenders DO NOT know their strains, even the owner is oblivious, and when shown a discrepancy on strains marked as indica dominant still chose to do nothing. the prices are high for the dry flower they sell it's obvious the owner is in it just for the money.
Medical patients, do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.
General public, you can find a lot better in close proximity of where they are.

Marijuana Paradise was fantastic! I went there for the first time yesterday and found their dispensary immaculate, well stocked and the employees extremely helpful. They were so nice I look forward to going back and recommending it to friends. They took the time to explain the different products and what might be best for my needs. I also liked that their well stocked inventory comes from Oregon and is all organically grown. I highly recommend a visit here and look forward to giving them my business. It's a pleasure to leave this review.

What can i say it was truly paradise ! I wish i had emojis to truly express what an amazing experience i had !! time and time again i have gone into a place and felt rushed or unconformable... NOT with this place ! Walk threw the door your greeted, checked in quickly. ( which is usually a hassle !) The Bud tenders are beautiful and very helpful. Thanks lady's ! Bud selection was expensive with great prices. you can go in with as little as 6$ and come out on top! the most per gram was only 12$ i have seen other places as much as 17 ! I am medical so i got to enjoy all they're wonderful edibles one brownie had 249 mg of thc lets just say i could only eat half. Thanks Karma treats ! Officially wins my favorite dispensary award ! Thanks for keeping it real Marijuana Paradise .

Okay, not sure what this past review was about Sirius Black because I bought a couple grams and it was amazing. Super stony. .

It was my first time there, yesterday. Firstly, if you are handicapped, do not go here. Seriously. I only use a cane, mind you, and it was not easy for me to maneuver the stairs. They have two sets; one up front to the door and some on the side. The side stairs are easier because there is less of angle, but still. If I had not been flying on some Gron edibles, it would have been really bad. But I had come all the way from Forest Grove on the bus, no less, so I did what I had to do. It's a nice enough place inside. They've got some really nice surfboards out front and in the lobby. But they do not honor their 10% discount for first time OMMP patients. It was clearly marked not only here in Leafly, but on their chalkboard that their Cherry Skunk and their Skunkdawg was only $40 a 1/4. I was charged as if it was full price for both, no discount at all. My budtender, Tamara, was great otherwise. The nugs she gave me are quite nice and the weed is good, but I don't like that I had to do those stairs, no discount and I had to help a fellow patient with a lot of things. Her budtender was confusing the hell out of her. I've been a patient for almost six years. I know the ins and outs of this stuff. But seriously, with all the competition out there, I know of many other places with no complicated stairs and bud tenders who honor the discounts.

no price differential for medical patients, would not recommend, very high price

The atmosphere is really nice, but seriously they really screw up when it comes to weighing the product. I've been there a couple of times but I feel shorted every time. I understand that leaf is very loose and light so that it is a very easy mistake to come under, but in both my visits they never waited for the scale to adjust and the second it hit 3.5g they immediately printed the tag. In one particular instance they weighed somewhere around 3.2 or 3.3 grams of leaf at first and then proceeded to put a small nug of leaf onto the scale which made it jump a little between 3.5 and 3.6, instead of breaking it up, they simply just took it out and as the scale was balancing itself, the second it hit 3.5. Interested in this of course I weighed it myself when I got home and low and behold it was 3.3g.

Went for the first time. Friendly staff gave me a tour and was very helpful. Not the greatest selection, but still quality bud & Good prices.
Check out their 1/8ths! Good deals & specials.

Nice place! Stopped in while out shopping and was very pleasantly surprised at the selection they had for just having opened. Really big selection of medibles!
Easy to get to, easy parking, friendly knowledgeable staff too! This one is worth stopping in any time you are going north or south on Barber blvd around Capital Hwy.

If you like fun, beautiful , helpful staff & a well stocked dispensary, you found it!
Your journey into paradise begins by a typically friendly greeting by KIP. KIP is The Janitor who keeps the place so clean you can eat off the floor. KIPS other duties include creating schedules helping the Bud tenders, and teaching people how to chill.
Each bud-tender I've met is worthy of being given a big shout out on 420 day.
Ka'ala, Tamara, Amanda & Heaven, all smart, gorgeous & delightful young ladies.
You will find a little piece of everyone's favorite Islands & my favorite Islanders, right here in PDX., along with some bodacious products to meet the needs of both Medical & recreational clients.
Visit and KIP will teach you some Hawaiian words.
