The Medication Station - Newport

Went to Newport, OR for a long weekend that dovetailed into the end of Spring break, 2021. I had planned to get some flower on the coast, just to see what the offerings were outside of Bend where I live. A local recommended Medication Station the night before so there is where I went. After a short wait, I was warmly invited up to the counter. I told the budtender that I was a Sativa guy. He showed me how to identify which strains on the shelves were Sativa-only, and pulled out a jar of something called "Voyager 1 Littles," with 23.4% THC and .08% CBD. He told me that it was really nice flower and invited me to smell it through my mask. Sativas tend not to be real pungent like Indicas in my experience. Voyager 1 Littles had a nice woody, cedary, resiny scent with maybe a hint of lemon. I gathered that the word "Littles" was added because most of the nuggets were roly-poly small. I asked how one of their other Sativas of similar %s was. He said it was pretty good, but didn't offer to pull it out. After what almost became an awkward silence I said, "But that's the one?" pointing to the jar of Voyager 1 Littles that he held in his hands. He nodded with quiet conviction, "this is the one." I wondered if maybe they had gathered up all of the smallest nuggets from other strains, put them in a vial, and were trying to slough them off on an out-of-towner. But the nuggets all looked basically the same, so maybe not. I said "okay, give me an eighth." Every now and then you come across some really good, powerful bud, and that's exactly what this weed is. It's very pleasant when I take one, lighter, greener hit of it from my water pipe. It's still a little damp so it doesn't burn very hot at first. But the first time I took a big, hot rip of it, I slipped out of my chair and rolled my body on top of my drummer's stool, knees on the ground, head and chest resting on the cushion like a drunk draped over a commode, all the while communing with God over the next half hour to 45 minutes, completely incapacitated. One hit wiped out a daily smoker. My point is, the budtender absolutely did me right. He didn't know me other than that I was just a tourist in town, and he pulled out the champaign immediately. "This is what you want, the good stuff, while we still have some." That is class-A, honest budtending in my opinion. I don't remember his name but I'll say he was a young man, taller than shorter, slender build, and mixed-ish maybe? Kodos, my friend. Thank you very much! I will be back when I'm in Newport next.

Awesome selection!

Great location. Easy in and out. Fast service. A lot of bud tenders who know there stuff and never have to wait in line. Large inventory to select from. Big reader board to see what available with pricing.

One of the best shops I have ever been to. Bought soaking salts, and budtender really investigated the options with me so I could get the right one. Ended up going with Empower. It was a discount day for CBD and Indica stuff, so she even gave us a discount because there was some CBD in the product. Just a massive selection of really quality flower and products, as well as glass.

We have visited this location twice now during travel on the coast. The first experience was so positive, from service to product, that we decided to come back. Unfortunately our second visit was less pleasant. When we asked front desk staff if our small service dog would be permitted to enter with us, the guy told us he 'didn't know' and proceeded to carry on a personal conversation another guest. We never got our answer, and never went back to make a purchase.

Love this location. Friendly staff, good weed

Gets better everytime I go in. Excellent rotation and fabulous flavors!

I've been to all the dispensaries in Newport and this place is best. They got a good selection of top shelf buds and they have a rewards program where every $20 you spend you get $1 towards your next purchase. Check em out!

I think that this place is wonderful. I always get the best buds at such a good price. way better than what you could even find on the streets today. super wonderful!!!

Always enjoy shopping here, its one of my fav places in Newport. They have great deals and prices, as well as friendly knowledgeable staff. They always have a great selection of flower and I never leave feeling swindled. I highly recommend you stop by!!

Need to keep menu updated. Staff was lovely.

love this place. the bud tenders are amazing and friendly

location is awesome for parking and accessibility.

Chilled vibe and a great selection by far. The staff is uber friendly and knows their product. With the best magnetic spin top on the front desk to turn :B ask for Frank when you stop in he'll give you the run down of anything you want to know in the shop with a smile on

This shop has the best budtenders and a good selection. My biggest criticism is that the online menus here and on their website are rarely accurate you always need back up options which is frustrating when you make a trip for certain products

decided to see what i could find at the coast, oh my, platinum gsc that is amazing to smoke and look at, and critical mass. 14thc 15cbd that is a real pleasure to smoke. thanks

this place had a great selection of bud and i appreciate the friendly vibes

My favorite spot in Newport. Professional atmosphere and great specials. However I have purchased maybe 20 prerolls from here and there were seeds in two of them. I don’t know if they’re rolled in house or anything but twice it stunk and popped like a seed. Other than that this place is great and I’ve had no other problems.

My first visit was 3 weeks ago and I was impressed by everything. Courtesy, cleanliness, great displays, patience and most of all knowledge of the products. Clear instructions and common sense advice. I am over 80 so very nervous but was made comfortable and welcome.

Dope bud :)

Best shop in the area, hands down!! I love ALL their staff... so much knowledge and experience, they have helped me more than I thought possible! Yay for less pain! If you haven't been, you need to see what you're missing.

I don't go in as regularly as I used to but it's still nice to be remembered. That 35% flower made sure I came in on Saturday. Said hi to Sarah and Brandy. Both are lovely as ever, got to catch up for just a bit. Will come back.

Aka the fire station. This place has all you need to have a great time at the coast. I recommend their Green Queen and GSC. Staff is great and I like their frequent buyer discounts that quickly add up. Best shop in town.

I'm from the Portland area and I haven't been to a shop like this. The people are very nice and respectful. They give you their time and attention when you ask questions. They have very high quality products for the price they have. The budtender Emily that was helping me is a very sweet girl. She takes time to listen and is very polite. I'm personally epileptic and they have a great variety of medical products. But at the same time. They have a huge selection of recreational products. I highly recommend this shop.
