Purple Star MD

This place is low key and quite pleasant. This is only the 2nd dispensary I've been to, but I really like the "packaging". They weigh it in front of you and package in a purple medicine bottle/film container. This is nice. I can leave it on the counter without feeling awkward while I medicate. It feels much more legitimate and I appreciate that.

Best spot in SF. Truly a space full of healers. Always ready to do whatever they can to help customers. Assist in choosing the most appropriate medicine for each individual and offer many awesome discounts. They give a goody bag to each first visit! Super rad!! Came with a free pre-roll, grinder, lighter, and papers!! I love these guys so much. Truly the best spot in town. Highly recommend the spot to all! A place of love and healing!!!!!

The staff seems very frustrated and rude. I asked one of the female “bud tenders” if she knew when they would be getting any other verities of shatter in. She was quick to respond “ I don’t know man, I just work here” and she muttered away to help another guest with less questions. Unfortunately not my first rude experience at this location. Use to be one of my favorite places to come for the wide selection of shatters but recently the staff is on one. Cheer up Purple star maybe the staff needs to get “medicated” themselves before the stressful shift.

Small and busy, but they had great first timer deals and April 20 freebies.

I've lived in San Francisco for 17 years, and this is where I prefer to get my cannabis. Quality of the product is top notch. Most useful and friendly budtenders I've yet found in the city.

Finding parking was rough (I am disabled and this neighborhood is busy and full of hills). The budtender spent time with me while I figured my order out (though I brought my own notes from their online menu). The new patient discount really helped me out. It'd be great if they offered disabled patients a discount, but they did throw in several gifts. I have recommended this place and brought other patients here. I think they are cash only - which catches me off guard. A cash discount would be nice but the extra fees for atm and dispensaries that charge for using a card - not into it. I've found other places that beat the prices here and the bud is fresher and more potent - and getting it delivered to my door and charged less for taxes - dispensaries are going to have to work harder for my limited but reliable funds as a customer. I want a place where I am treated like a valued customer and respected as a patient with privacy concerns and medical needs that brought them there. So be kind. I want places that offer alternative medicine/healing like Reiki and acupuncture and massage. Offer customers some tea/coffee, samples of products, that kind of thing. It's 2018 - remember that us patients still matter, even with this recreational boom.

I tried calling 3 times to place an order and after saying hello they kept hanging up. Horrible!

If I could get my 80$ back I would don’t buy it’s unhealthy

Knowledgeable and friendly staff made me feel at ease and they found something to help ease my back pain promptly.

I tell people about this location. They ask where I get my cartridges, I tell them they are twenty dollars for the house blend purple star. They are quite effective. I understand if you have to do the first time patient thing and skip around, but if you find your roots, trust me, this is the place. I get off at 24th bart and its a skip away. They occasionally throw freebies my way (that doesn't mean you need to expect it. Be friendly, above all don't be a dick--these people treat you right). Today I picked up four house cartridges, all sativas, and an oasis cartridge. They threw me a gram of blue dream shatter as well as some unlabeled stuff in a vial that is truly omni-potent :P Smiles all around and honestly I never have to wait to be helped in the store unlike some places that have you wait in single-file. I think more people may do delivery but this is a super intimate and courteous location.

Gyep. Best prices, good products, chill spot with zero hassle, & they offer a 20% military/veterans discount.

The staff is bored and angry. The owner is not customer centric but clearly only $$ matters. I wouldn't shop here no matter what. My experience has been awful and will never return, ever.

This has to be the best dispensaries I have ever been to, both in Cali and Colorado. Not only will you have a difficult time finding better quality, but the service cannot be beat. No matter how busy it is, you always are treated like you are the only customer there. They take their time with you to make sure you get exactly what you want, and if there happens to be an issue with what you purchased, they will make sure to fix the problem. I one got some shatter that turned out to be a little unstable, and the next time I cam in, they not only gave me a discount, but a free cartridge. It is very obvious they care about their customers satisfaction.

One of my favorite dispensaries in all of San Francisco. They have great flowers, concentrates, and edibles, you just can't go wrong at Purple Star!

Not the best ambiance, kind of spare inside but service was great and good wax selection.

This place is great. I've been here once and they do a fine job! The atmosphere was a little busy, not enough help. Great products.

I only buy Graham cartridges here because they have the day where it's by two and you get one for a penny and it's $20 for a gram cartridge 25 out the door after tax so for $50 and one penny you get 3 gram cartridges and they have a day time anytime and night time so you can get all three and it's usually a sativa a hybrid and an indica the brand has always been clear star and they have a very wide selection and good product matching up to it's description

I've been to this location twice now and I'm not a huge fan. The product was subpar yet I paid top shelf price for it. Wouldn't recommend especially if you're new.

Great vibe here; the staff is always super helpful and knowledgeable, haven't been disappointed with a recommendation yet. Really nice inventory as well; I appreciate they are able to have varied prices for quality products, which benefits all budgets. ☺

I love this dispensary. Everyone is super friendly, and they always have helpful suggestions. They're also patient when I want to explore various strains, which the indecisive shopper in me appreciates. Sometimes I come in just for the house blend - an oz for around 120 with tax is unbeatable. I have yet to be disappointed. 5 purple stars!

This is the best dispensary. They turn a ton of product. I don’t know if it’s really the best, because it’s so good I don’t go anywhere else. I usually dab, and they have lots of concentrates. So many that the menu is often changing. it’s a good problem to have inaccuracies in the menu, whatever might be out of stock and they bring some others that have yet to make it to the menu. I’m usually quite satisfied. Crazy good shatter infused joints for 12. My favorite spot by far.

Great service with friendly bud tenders. Overall great experience.

Purple Star carries Xternal Mud!!! It is a cannabinoid based mud mask. I rub it on my achy arthritic bones and joints and I get instant cooling pain relief that lasts. It was recommended to me by Mara Gordon, founder of Aunt Zelda's..... and I recommended it to everyone I come across!! Especially to my friends who are in their 70's 80's and 90's. I frequently take my senior citizen friends to the Mission to get their first ever medical cards and then walk them straight over to Purple Star. What a nice companionate staff they have!! My friends leave with an education and all the products they need to improve the quality of their lives. Purple Star offers a wide range of buds, edibles, topicals and even cannabinoid infused bath salts. I find that the prices are lower than the other dispensaries in the neighborhood. * pardon the typos as I'm a bit medicated ;0)”

Highly recommend Purple Star MD. The staff is wonderful, the product is wonderful, it's overall a great place. I'm always welcomed with a smile and my questions are always answered. They aren't just about selling a product here, they are about educating their customers and helping to ensure the customer leaves with exactly what they were in search of.
