Every time I come in here I'm met with courteous, kind, and very knowledgeable people who care about my health and wellbeing. I don't go anywhere else. Best dispensary in humboldt county!

Employees very helpful with choosing a product, if necessary.

I'm new to the area, I got my 215 card , my car registered & tagged , my drivers license is in the mail. The DMV gave me 2 legal documents that say I'm a California resident & this place still refused me service. I walked around the corner to the other dispensary & had zero issues. I have a question for the heart of Humboldt , if I'm not a CA resident how did I fool the DMV & the state of California ? And who carries their rental agreement in their car?

I bought a 'Rasta Stikk' pen from them on the 23rd of December. Come to find out it didn't work. When I tried taking it back, the guy said I just had to hit really hard. Well I've had three of these before and none were this difficult. So I took it and tried it and within two days it shortened and died. These things used to last me weeks. I feel liked I was cheated out of 40 bucks. If the guy had just listened to me and exchanged it (because I had never hit it before then) I would be happy. Instead I can never go here again, because my trust was violated.

Uneducated and under stocked

I had to write this review unfortunately because the practises of this club are not in the interest of the patients . I went in to buy a vape cartridge and noticed they had ones called platinum vape. They were 20$ for a gram so I bought one thinking it was a good deal. When I hit it I could taste the coconut oil that the THC is cut with and it coated my lungs and throat with thick oil. It also made my lungs hurt!I went on to research what inhaling lipids such as coconut oil can do to the health and the scientific articles I found were alarming. Potential for lipid phnemonia .I went back to try to return this cartridge even if just for credit and a different product. Their response?? Sorry we can't take this back its been opened. Well then I brought up how they should not being selling health related products where coconut oil is inhaled dude to scientific articles talking about its serious dangers and they said take it up with the manager. I did this and she said she has no control over being able to refund the product(which as the manager you do) so I felt unheard and mistreated by this business on top of feeling angry that they would sell such a product that potentially scientists says could hurt people. I then suggested a warning label for the coconut inhaling products and they said they had a general warning about cannibis products. I felt blew off. This is the same club that wouldn't validate my girlfriend's moms doctors note after she got cancer. If this is suppose to be the heart of humboldt where is the heart? I gave quality 3 stars because they have some good quality jud quite often(which is why I as returning even after the whole girlfriend's mom situation)

This is hands down the worst dispensary I have ever been to. The store front is tiny, and the staff are incredibly rude (one girl had earbuds in while working the counter, preventing her from hearing my order!) and condescending. I literally had to ask 10 times before the blonde girl listened to my order. I was on a road trip and without smoking implements so I was looking for a killer J. I made the stupid mistake of trusting the reviews for this place and purchased two $20 and two $5 joints. This is the $50 I most regret spending IN MY LIFE. The $20 joints were absolutely no better than the $5 joints, and they didn't even have freaking filters, but of course you couldn't see that before purchasing because the tube was opaque. This was not a cone but a crappy tube joint (the $5 joints were cones!). I expected a good buzz from the additional hash but the $5 worked just as well as the $20 (which is to say, not well). ALL the joints were poorly rolled and I lost probably 50% of the cannabis to canoeing. I have been to tens of dispensaries in Washington, Oregon, and California. This is the worst one I have ever stepped foot in. I would not encourage anybody to shop here.

Disappointing inflated prices and disinterested staff.

the percantages presented here for concentrates are inflated. The bay 11 says 77% thc, on their paper menu it says 77% but when you buy it and look on the box it says 75% thc. When i brought this to the attention of management they said it was my fault for not doing due diligence and that I was stuck with it even though it was false advertising. HPRC around the corner will treat you better and won't lie to you.

Zachariah, I am almost positive is his name. He was incredibly rude and unhelpful. I am a cancer patient in remission and I have been going to clinics for years and years. Never have I had an experience where someone was so rude and annoyed to be helping me. I am disappointed and will not be back. Do not recommend this place. Prices are high. This employee was awful.

Sensational Visit! Ordered ahead off Leafly Heavy Hitter Wedding Cake lives up to name:). LIVEEmrald Sour Diesel was fair, wish all flowers sold in CA would come with an expiration date. Staff was fantastic! With the pandemic it’s nice to see good positive people. Thanks:)

Respectful staff, distinct location, great medicine, somewhat of a bit overpriced, local medicine and products. Would like to see Heart of Humboldt do much more.

This is the best rec dispensary in Humboldt without a doubt. Huge variety and the people working are friendly and really know what's up. Go here. Beautiful flower.

HCA is a great dispensary. Staff are both knowledgable, friendly, and have a genuine desire to make sure you get medicine that works for *you*! Some folks might say their location is quite small, but to those who know a bit of local history it is low key but quaint. The low overhead means better prices for patients. The prices are the best in town, and some days even they even get better with senior, student, and other offered discounts. HCA does a good job at retaining popular strains and introducing new ones. I can think of at least 4 of them that have turned into 'go-to' meds for me. HCA is; Good People, Good Product, and Good Pricing!

I loved the improvements they made after going rec and this quickly became my go to dispensary for the last couple years. Several times now I have made orders and one or more things I’ve ordered are not in stock. This time they don’t have any batteries for cartridges even though it is the day they discount vape pen cartridges and you can’t use them without a battery. Last time they were out of a half ounce and had nothing similar to replace it. Their selection isn’t as large or diverse as it once was so it’s not easy to just swap what was out of stock for another product. I’m a medical patient with severe spinal damage so when I get out to go somewhere (even if it’s to get medicine) it’s not easy for me to do. I will say that the bud tenders are kind and recommend things that can help me and I’m grateful for that. I also would like to mention that I had an art show here for the local arts alive Arcata and was extremely disappointed when I came in on 4/20 and saw that they had covered several of my art pieces and my artist statement with their clothing racks, a t shirt manikin and other things. They never told me that my paintings were in the way or that they would be obscured. They never gave me the opportunity to move my paintings and artist statement so it wouldn’t be hidden behind a rack of clothes for sale. I’ve made several visits and purchases here and have become fond of the bud tenders so I don’t want to give up on them, but at the same time I’m frustrated with the lack of selection and that they don’t update their menu as often as they should. I keep trying to go back and give them another chance but am almost always left disappointed. Really hope they can turn things around.

Was my first time at a dispensary and using cannabis... Was looking for legitimate/constant pain management.. Had no idea where to start. They totally helped me out, explained everything and ended up with Cheeba Chews (1 all CBD and the other a CBD/THC); first time in years I was able to sit on the couch easily without constantly shifting due to pain :)) (CBD type only... Thought I was going to die with the chew that had higher THC lol) Whoop whoop this place is awesome and so are CBD!

This store has good product and they're nice people. Their CO2 oil is the best in town and the best deal too. Also their edible selection is fabulous.
