Been building loyalty at this place for about a year. I am a big stoner and smoke more than a gram of shatter a day. Their 2 for one special is what got me in. Upper management really has no clue about loyalty and keeping frequent customers happy. They would always be out of their deal and they would do nothing for me even though I'm there every other day giving them money. The staff is great, but when I shop at small companies like this I expect my loyalty to show and the company to show it back. End of the day they didn't care about me being a stable customer and told me to screw off(I spend hundreds weekly). The staff seemed to understand but when management doesn't give their staff enough power it doesn't matter.

I had never tried Marijuana before I was taken here by a friend last year. I didn't know what to expect or even what to look for as a first time buyer and consumer. The staff was incredibly friendly and patient as they showed me the various different strains, described their qualities, and let me smell different nuggets to see which I like best. In the past six months I have been a regular customer and will never, if I have my way, go to a different store. Every strain I have tried works almost exactly as advertised. Their prices are extremely reasonable, especially with the VIP and Veteran's discount. If you live in Fort Collins or are just visiting make sure you only go to OA, you won't be disappointed.

I'm an out of state resident and try to make a point of stopping at a different dispensary with each visit. I've been to over a dozen and this is surely the best one I have visited and if possible I always try to shop here. The service is always great. The selection of product is diverse and there's plenty of it. As for atmosphere, it's probably the least "weed" like, if that makes any sense. It just has a high class shopping experience. They package their cannabis in a nice resealable pouch that keeps it moderately fresh. Overall a great buying experience that I look forward to with each visit.

Such a great place to shop. Rob is one of the best budtenders in Colorado! It’s very refreshing to know there are shops like this in town. Don’t waste your time at Infinite Wellness! They may have lower prices when comparing eights ($30 vs $35 at Organic), but the product is far superior at Organic. Their oil is much much much better as well. Infinite’s Flux oil is sewage compared to anything at Organic Alternatives. Also, the customer service at Organic Alternatives is second to none!

Hands down the best quality flowers in town, awesome people and atmosphere but transport issues keep strains inconsistent. I don’t have time to come back every 2 days. Just bring all that Afghani kush from the warehouse next time, pleaseeeeee.

I come here a lot and always love this place! Every budtender is super friendly, consistent, and knowledgeable about medical conditions and what to suggest. Rob is always very attentive and kind. Just ONE complaint which will not stop me from coming... the front desk guy.... hes rude. End of store. Thanks OA!

Conveniently located in downtown Ft. Collins. The store itself was open and clean. The staff, however, was rather rude and uneducated. The prices were also outrageous compared to any other dispensary I've been in. Wouldn't recommend buying here.

I love Organic Alternatives and always choose OA for my edibles, I think it's a great atmosphere and the staff is friendly. I wish they would do more sale items and explain the way their rewards system works. Sometimes I feel rushed but overall this is a great place and I recommend it to all my friends !

The staff was friendly and answered all our questions. this is the third dispensary ive been to in fort collins and the only shop I felt comfortable in.

There is always a great and varied selection of quality goods with nice prices and awesome sales and specials, even as a non-VIP. The VIP membership itself is a great system that gets good discounts on top of the normal deals. The atmosphere is very informal and welcoming, not at all intimidating. I always recommend Organic Alternatives when anyone asks.

A few days ago, was "greeted" by a snarky red headed woman at the front desk. I come in here at least once a week and never saw her before. Just a heads up Organic Alternatives, the front desk is the best first impression, and rudeness does not sit well with me. I will keep coming back because of all the really KIND BUD TENDERS who usually help me, but the red head dampened my mood with her PRETENTIOUSNESS. Thanks EVERYONE ELSE for being kind, patient, and caring.

While I risk impending doom from my employer by posting a review regarding a cannabis store - since typically the default assumption is that if you patronize this kind of establishment, then what you're likely purchasing is flower - this review is important so I'm taking the chance.
I have a Colorado med card, the reason being that, on the medical side of OA I can purchase this pain relieving balm, called Nordic Goddess, for less than retail. It's a body balm created to "break down the cannabinoids to a molecular level, enhancing absorption into skin for maximum relief." It has rapid absorption but does not everrr end up in your bloodstream. Ask any nurse. (Side note: I personally know a particularly stellar nurse who, for reasons that remain private, submits a urine sample to her employer at the end of each week. That sample always has a negative result, and she uses this balm on the daily.) I swear by this balm because prior to my soulmate dying of cancer, I was introduced to it by the paragon of budtenders at OA, and it relieved a shocking degree of pain during his treatments. Please stop what you're doing and give them a call, if you want a truly reliable and extraordinarily effective pain-relieving balm. And no, I don't own stock in either the manufacturer or OA, nor am I on the board of directors (I wish).
They would also not hesitate to run over fresh hot coals from the belly of Mt. Vesuvius to make it right for you, in the extremely infrequent situation that something goes awry with your order. I have picture proof that they do this - and the photos are awe-inspiring.
Additionally, although I've never seen the application for employment at OA, I'm fairly convinced that one of the required skills on it states that to be successful, at minimum you must be one of the sweetest, most intelligent humans in Colorado, with the uncompromising patience of a Saint, because everybody in the store knows more about the products than the googles ever will. And your interactions with them will leave you feeling like you just caught up with a good friend. But if that's not something you want or need though, their laser-focused perception won't disappoint you.
Sincerely, if I had your address and you wanted to be pampered in a cannabis shop, I would personally drive you there and introduce you to a fairly magical experience.
Last but not least, in their meticulously designed backroom, you are going to receive, by comparison, Louis Vuitton quality products at a very reasonable Lucky Brand price. They are incomparable as far as Larimer county is concerned. Thanks for reading this massive novel of a review!

Amazing products of all kinds and outstanding customer service
September 12, 2017
High quality product and high quality atmosphere. One of the most well appointed and clean dispensaries I've ever been to. If I was going to take someone uncomfortable with buying weed to a dispensary for the first time I'd bring them here. Staff is kind and helpful. I can't recommend the dispensary to seasoned tokers however due to the high prices caused by a location close to downtown.

This place is awesome! I have never felt rushed. They are always willing to answer any questions I’ve had. That’s why I keep coming back.

I think it's a great location! Evryone that works there is very informative. I've been to about 90% of dispensaries in Ft. Collins and they have best products by far!

I've been going to Organics since it opened for recreational sales. The staff is always friendly and upbeat and they have an amazing selection of flower, concentrates and other infused products. Best store in Fort Collins!
