I like the people here!!! Cool budtenders, good conversation. Now that I've said that... not the best selection. Or quality. Or prices. Stop by if it's convenient. That's about it.

False advertising. Expect to pay 25% more than the prices listed on the site. It was my first time at a pot store, and I bought it anyway even though it was $12/gram instead of the advertised $9/gram, because I figured they might just be too high to update their site. But I called them days later, and in fact they intentionally charge non-patients %25 percent more, and were completely unapologetic about the false advertising. The smoke wasn't that great, either, and I'd have given them 1 star all around except that you you have to expect a little larceny in the heart of any pot dealer... and they weren't rude, so that's a plus.

This is the ONLY place I will go anymore. I specifically aim for their CBD collection and let me tell you- they have a variety and a wide range of very helpful products. The staff is VERY well versed in their knowledge of their products and so very helpful. The first time I went in I had no clue what I needed or what anything meant and they were so patient and walked me through everything. Love this place!! GO HERE!

I can't wait for CDC to be recreational again! It is really the ONLY place in Tigard, where you get a homey/chillax feel. Everyone is so helpful, without hanging over you like a shadow. The products are on-point as well as the prices. When you open back up I'll be there in "Full Force! -Pineapple Express". -Amanda

I really wanted to like this place I came in 3 times and bought ounces each time. The 3rd time I had less money and the budtender told me that the shake was so incredibly good that I should spend all my money on just an ounce of that. I'm very trusting and in Oakland shake was always still really good quality. This was not. This was your grandmother's lawn mixed in with your aunts green tea drawer and a tiny pinch of some twigs and other vaguely weedy looking green stuff. This made me ill. I had to lay down and wait for it to pass. And it wasn't just me because a friend came over later and tried and he had to lay down until the nausea and the headache passed. No high at all. Just sick. Bottom line: This store sells shake that is unsmokeable and will make you sick. I called and brought it in to let them know there was a problem, No apologies. No refunds. Dont make the same mistake I did and waste your money here.

Hands down the BEST dispensary in Portland. Budtenders are super attentive, helpful and friendly. They have a myriad of variety to fit every budget and daily deals. Flower, dabs and edibles are all on point. They have a little bit of everything for every customer. Best deals in Portland.

One of the bud tenders at CDC gave me really great advice on pain management. I have End Stage Renal Disease, diabetes, heart disease & arthritis in my spine. So, I wanted to share these thoughts and observations for anyone who could use good advice about cannabis generally. A special thanks to Ms. Peyton for all of her help to me! I use “Ms. Peyton” In this review. I will change it to whatever you like. Thank you! RE: Ms. Peyton of CDC Any of you who know me may remember from previous conversations, that I would very much like to hire Ms. Peyton, due both to her professionalism and her charm. Her eloquence is equally refreshing as she often has wonderful recommendations for cannabis that would meet both my recreational and medicinal needs. Because of her advice, my experience with cannabis as a pain management tool would have been impossible, without her. The arthritis in my spine thanks her for that, especially. I have known Ms. Peyton in a professional capacity, as a customer for over one year now. Despite her youth, she maintains a genuine professional decorum while still being a friendly & engaging salesperson, of such quality that I have not seen since my own childhood, (long before written history). While normally I am loathe to write letters of recommendation, or reviews of this type, any assistance that I could provide to her is time well spent. During my tenure as Executive Director of the American Medical Massage Association (AMMA), we took on a number of salespeople to help with the sale of books, videos and massage equipment in our for-profit department. I deeply regret not having known her then. Her ability to apply herself to sales & her strong product knowledge make her a great pleasure to do business with and a joy with whom to converse. If more businesses had salespeople like Ms. Peyton, there would be a lot more millionaires amongst us. Ms. Peyton volunteered excellent cannabis related suggestions a great deal of the time & was quick to offer solutions that had otherwise eluded me. I am healthier and in less pain now, thanks to Ms. Peyton, her vast product knowledge, customer service skills & matters cognate are truly praiseworthy. Ms. Peyton has a great general fund of knowledge. During the time she has been advising me about cannabis, she has conversed with me on such diverse topics as animal behavior, Norse mythology, history, photography, Art & why cats like humans. Nothing insubstantial, both the sale and the conversation keep me coming back to CDC, and I live next door to three much closer cannabis stores. In conclusion, Ms. Peyton’s professionalism has made my cannabis experience, especially as concerns pain management, a much better one. I have enjoyed learning from her and letting her heal my back! So, if you want GREAT CANNABIS experience from an expert, Ms. Peyton of CDC can give you that! I recommend that she be cloned so ALL cannabis shops can have at least one copy of her! Two if they are smart. Thank you. Now Go bring your money to Ms. Peyton and let her get you stoned. Or let her tell you HOW to get stoned. The most important thing for me is that she has re-awakened in me a sense of customer service long lost for decades in many American businesses. She is kind and knowledgeable. One could not ask for a better advisor or salesperson! Thank you.

Their menu is hardly updated, so don't count on them having what they are advertised. I just spent 20 minutes waiting for my wife who went in for a specific type of MJ off their menu, and low and behold they are out. Not only are they out of that specific type, they are out on about 4 other types advertised on their menu as "in stock". Also, they end up giving her some strain that isn't even advertised on leafly. Don't make the trip down to this place unless you call to verify they have the strains that are listed on their website. Much better dispensaries out there with updated menus.

This is my favorite dispensary, (the staff is very friendly, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this place.

Not impressed. Small offices in a Mini-storage facility, the nice but rushed staff, acceptable bud, terrible insufficient parking. What I can't accept is the 25% higher prices to recreational users. They are not subsidized by the state for medical clients. This is greed pure and simple. I will not be back.

I was in a hurry and decided to try out a new place and this is where I ended up. It is located in a storage rental facility, no joke. There parking is between the two entry gates for storage rental and seems to me that there will be more than a couple accidents because of that. The facility was not the most appealing, kind of like going to someone's small house and buying from a back bedroom. When it came to the actual product, they had a very small selection. About 7 strains? None of that looked to appealing by sight or smell, basically seemed like the basic work I would have purchased back in high school. Prices were $12 a gram so that wasn't to bad but overall my personal opinion is that this just isn't the place for me!

The parking lot only has spaces for about 3 cars so prepare to park in the mini mart lot next door. Prices are higher in store then on leafly, so don't be too shocked when that happens! Everyone was nice though. :) But I've never met a mean budtender, I think that's impossible! The loyalty card is a nice addition.

This location is my favorite little spot and I miss them terribly since moving to the city! I love that they aren't superficial, and that they don't try to make their shop like everyone else's. Always felt comfortable going in there even if they thought they could sell me anything because I always asked for advice haha! They were always personable and dedicated to their customers. Their product was always pretty good to absolutely great(just like everywhere) and they have great deals! Tight parking?! haha umm- have you been to the city of Portland? You either find places with too much parking or none at all. The CDC has deals worth making a trip for, just don't park next door or block the gates and you'll be fine!
