This is my FAVORITE place to shop. The staff are comedic and knowledgeable. They rock and I am a hard customer. Its the only place where I can walk in and say I have this much to spend, and they take the time to figure it out without rolling their eyes. What ever cash I don't spend, I definitely donate to the "employee training fund"
You guys Rock!!

Casual, small-scale, classic pot-shop vibe. Neat if you're old school, but a little cramped overall. Very small parking lot too. Guys inside are friendly and easy to talk with. Solid recommendations, and good supply of top-quality bud.

My favorite dispensary, went in the other day and Aren was my bud tender, always very respectful and knowledgeable about the product. Always has killer deals on oz.

I’m new to the west coast so I had no idea what I doing the first time. They were very helpful in explaining different strands and what means what. I tried others but didn’t really like the corporate feeling of one I went into. The CDC always has what I need, they’re very friendly, and I always feel welcomed when I go. They’re good people! I’m a loyal creature of habit, so that’s where I’ll always go unless something changes.

Definitely better shops in the near area flower options are good but service is weird and unwanted feeling

Their prices are fair, nothing too fancy and the budtender wasn't very helpful but the $30 for quality oil for patients is not bad! It has a low key atmosphere that reminds me of buying a sack from a homie which is really comfortable and pleasant.

The biggest thing is the small show room. They had a menu and were very helpful showing different kinds, but luckily I was the only one there. I can imagine a full show room taking a long time to check out different kinds. The lobby is large enough where they could expand so I'm hopeful.
Staff was super friendly though so highly recommend based on that.
The menu had cool color coding for different types, but it lacked some deeper specs like CBD %.

super pushy about 12-14 dollar grams. even as a med patient super pricy; and it seemed they got some sort of commission for those sales. 2.5/5.
bud ended up being dry and overpriced for 50 dollar quarter.

Funky little place in an old storage unit facility - good buds, tenders and knowledge. One of the regular stops on my rounds.

I've been coming here a lot, right now I have two seeds, this is the second single gram of weed to have a seed, I called last time but now I am wondering on the accuracy of the percentage ratings since the weed is hermied.
I love this shop but there is a place that is closer I could go to as well.

The building is a complete dive but the service, selection, prices, and quality of bud are all good to go. Park on the street instead of using their crammed parking lot.

You will not be disappointed with anyone at this site. They were/are some of the best informed Bud-wranglers

After visiting many local dispensaries, I've settled into visiting The CDC as my go to spot.
All of the employees are friendly, and they truly love what they do. The bud tenders are very knowledgeable about the various strains they have in stock, and they've always made great recommendations whenever I can't make up my mind. Their selection is excellent, and every strain I've purchased has been excellent.
The CDC offers generous discounts for seniors and birthdays, and they offer loyalty punch cards that, when filled, give you 50% off your next purchase!
I was thrilled that they will happily sell split eighths. It's really great for when I want to try new strains without committing.
Now, the negatives....
Very limited off street parking. I've always gotten a spot, but it could prove tricky at peak times.
The prerolls I've purchased here just will not draw. Can't get a decent hit to save my life. I really appreciate that they offer an indica and a sativa, but I've stopped purchasing prerolls after several went up in smoke, leaving me buzzless...
All in all, I would recommend the CDC to others who are looking for an excellent selection of high quality weedstuffs, in an unpretentious atmosphere. I know I'll keep coming back!!!

Allen, and Steffen have been the best buying experience I've had. some shops have white walls and led lights but not the friendliness this place has shown. their business strategy is obvious to make customers. which makes this my home store and my continue business.

The staff are always super friendly and helpful. Great deals all the time and convenient location! I love this dispensary.
