The Green Solution - College Ave. @ Fort Collins

Very expensive garbage products

Alright for everyone complaining about ”dry” bud stop. We’re in Colorado, with zero humidity at an altitude of close to 6000 feet everything is dry. The bud they have is very good, and has the most medical aspects for rec users. If you want sticky bud move father west or east where humidity is a thing. Also they grow hydroponic so as soon as it’s harvested it tends to dry out quicker than soil grown. Dry weed doesn’t mean bad weed.

dispensary and environment itself was dope!! although I'll never return here again. I've been to a lot of dispensaries and this is by far the worst one I've ever been to. Budtender was a complete douchebag was real pushy wasn't knowledgeable about product at all and didn't even present us everything that was there. bud is also very dry for what it is. first and last time going

The Comcast of dispensaries. I extremely rare to give a negative review of a business, but rarely do I receive such poor services. Here are the reasons I would implore anyone with such a wide variety of choices in the industry, to make a different one. In an industry that started with such good intentions, I feel like it is going to be overrun by a corporate culture that will have only the bottom line as the single goal of providing this service... Money. * This company is (or is looking to be) a giant corporation, with all the policies and soul of such a company * Their return policy on clones is insufficient to identify problems that may be inherited with the product, such as disease and pest * Their phone number ends up at a call center.... You cannot call the store directly * I was told one thing by the people at the call center, and another by the people at the store (the reason this is important is listed below * Their staff is completely unqualified to be giving advice, or even selling clones or anything related to the grow side of cannibis. Buy at your own risk. * The company stopped communicating with me as I tried to find a solution to the problem * They sold a faulty product, and would not stand by it and give a refund Here are the details of my experience. I understand most people are going here to buy on the consumption side. The store is fine for that, but please support your local stores. ===================== I have been reluctant to get clones from a dispensary, or any large shop, because of the risk of disease, or pest infestation. I know it is very difficult to prevent, but I thought I would take a chance. I have gotten clones from dispensaries twice before this, and was 50/50. The time I did come home with mites, I was dissappointed, but the shop who sold them to me were very understanding, and offered me a full refund. So I thought the risk was pretty low. When I purchased these particular plants, I talked to someone at the store who seemed fairly knowledgeable, was confident there were no pests, and who did specify that there was a 7 day exchange policy. I mentioned that 7 days was probably not enough time to either find pests directly, or see the symptoms, and the sales guy agreed. I decided it was worth the chance. About 10 days in, I noticed damage to leaves. I diagnosed the problem to either thrip, or mite, but I could not find the actual pests. I started a regiment of neem oil on a daily basis, but could not alleviate the infestation. It was past the 7 day exchange period. A few days later I was able to get a microscope, at which time I was able to clearly identify thrip. At that point I started to consider talking to The Green Solution. I called the call center, and talked to someone (I should have gotten a name), who mentioned that the store has done exchanges in the past after the 7 days. He talked to his manager, who said that he (his manager) would contact the Ft Collins shop, and let them know I would be coming in to discuss an exchange. This left me optimistic. I explained that I would have to uproot the plants. So I pulled my plants, and took them into the store. Nothing. There was no communication, and the manager of the Ft Collins store said there is a no exception policy, and there was nothing I could do. There were no questions surrounding the infestation, around my experience, or even concern that the supply chain might be contaminated. That all left me a little frustrated, as I now had infested plants, that were uprooted and sitting in a paper bag. The value of that is 0. I dont understand is why a company would not work with me. Things should not be black and white in business, and especially in a competitive business where brand reputation, and customer satisfaction probably go a long way.

What really sets this store apart from other stores in town is the staff they have assembled for opening. They are professional, polite, knowledgable, and ready to help you navigate the giant selection of products that they offer. You will always feel like you are being helped by somebody who genuinely wants to help you find the cannabis that will best work for you. I encourage you to stop in and meet any member of the TGS staff to see for yourself. As a PSA to Green Solutions shoppers: the tip box is in the very back corner behind the registers, but TGS staff DOES still accept tips!! Please tip this fantastic staff if you feel they helped you out! :] ❤🌱✌

Super friendly employees who are very knowledgeable about the high quality products that they carry. Low prices give other dispensaries in Fort Collins a run for their money!

This was the most dried out flower I've ever had, it crumbles to the touch. I bought 3 different batches and all of them had less moisture than the Sahara mid day. On top of that it was about 40% stems and while peeling back the package top open it you spill it all over the floor. I would never recommend their flower to anyone. They have a great return policy but it's useless since it's all dried out, any exchange will give you the same worthless product. The shop is beautiful and well kept but that seams where all their focus goes, no attempt at a good product.

My first time int to the store, and Taylor was doing a kick ass job. He had to train some of the new people and even so still got my the stuff I wanted and not trying to sell me th most expensive items there and got it all done in a good amount of time. 10/10 would recommend going here. Great people, great experience, and great weed!!! Thank you Taylor!!!!

Had a great dynamic with my budtender Matt I hope I get that dude Everytime it was refreshing to see a kid with his witts about him we clicked fast he knew what he was doing and knew I was knowledgeable in out happy as hell I'll be back soon

Purchased an eighth of "Willies Reserve" Bubba Kush yesterday. Tastes like straight mold. Makes me gag reflex and thats just from a small chilum test bowl thats not going to get finished. I only went in for some edibles for my friend but decided to give it one chance. My skepticism about this place was well deserved even in terms of a product that is supposedly grown organically and branded with Willie Nelsons name. I've had better mids from some guy in New Jersey in 2006.

just now According to The Greed Solution's own definitions "ground flower" is supposed to be actual buds that have already been processed through a grinder, which is why it costs more than shake. Yesterday they were selling shake, which was mostly sweet leaf and had obviously never been ground, at the higher price as ground flower. When i asked the company to honor their own definitions, they refused. They didn't just refuse though, they just let me stand there waiting, and the managers who were refusing to keep the company's word, refused to appear, and I had to keep checking to see if they made a decision. Be warned that they will slap an overpriced sticker on anything, and will not keep their word.

Only dispensary that did not honor my Tribal I.D. and I did not appreciate not being recognized I had a driver license I would of gave them but that just didn't sit right with me I will not be recommending them or coming back

staff was super friendly and helpful. they helped me pick out what would work best for me and I was not disappointed!

absolutely the best and most relaxing experience after a emotional weekend that I can not thank Dillan enough! He made it truly the best. after planning a few dispensarys to go see, He made this the one and only stop. Thank you again! Greatly appreciated!!!

My new favorite dispensary! I won’t be going anywhere else from now on. Great atmosphere, great help, and amazing products! I got some wax which is absolutely amazing and a palm blunt which I’ve never had before but now is my new favorite thing

Super friendly and helpful staff ! Bright and open space- was full of customers but wasn’t cramped -so no added pressured to make a decision quickly

Immensely professional and comforting layout, was definitely impressed by their space. There’s a huge variety of products at their disposal, the most I’ve seen in Fort Collins... except for flowers -_-. The one item most people seem to purchase they lack in variety greatly. At the time of my visit they only had approximately 10 strains to choose from,albeit quality options. 2nd favorite place, satisfying experience nonetheless.

Overpriced! Great service, great selection, great environment. BUT it comes at a cost. I purchased the same items at another location for a lot less.

The Green solution is my favorite recreational dispensary. They have good product, knowledgeable budtenders and the atmosphere is perfect. I go to the location in Fort Collins and everyone there is amazing. Thank you Katherine F and the rest of the staff for always being awesome!!!

It was like a dodgy Apple store except even worse than however bad you imagine that to be.

nice set up . it looks like a apple store . I'm not a fan of the prepackaged stuff but that's what they have . the flower I purchased was pretty good . my bud tender was OK . I would get here again if I was in the area .

Mel was my bud tender and was outstanding 5/5 stars!

I will point out the only good thing thing about this store: prices. The bubble blunts at the other dispo in town are $35 each for 1.1 gram. At this store, it’s $15 for 1.1 gram. But that’s where the niceties end. I ordered a 1 GRAM Jupiter Joint and when I opened it up a day later, it was half a gram pre roll. When you walk into the store, the thing that sets it apart from others is that there’s an actual security service there at all times guarding. I’ve never been to a dispo with that. And the feel of the building is very corporate. The owners are corporate shivs. It feels like you’re being booked into prison when going in there. The pickup windows for online orders are thick glasses like a teller’s window and you can only grab your product from an extendable drawer that comes out. It’s like you’re an object there. If you go to another dispo, ANY other dispo, you’ll have a wonderful time, but it’ll be expensive. Only go to this store if you know exactly what you want and go in and out as fast as possible. The budtenders know zero about cannabis. I’ve been smoking for years and my knowledge is far superior to any of their info they supply. It almost seems as though half of them haven’t even smoked before. Very corporate feeling. Avoid at all costs, literally.

Your bud tender Daniel D is awesome ,friendly and made it easy to pickup my order up
