New dispensary, but if you went when it was still HWC you are not eligible for new patient deal.
Harvest HOC - Tempe (Med/Rec)

Quality: Just not what real connoisseurs are looking for. Seeds galore, and the quality does not match local competition. Pricing is a joke as well. D-
Service: Some of the people are pretty nice and helpful. However, there are too many that are clueless, both socially and about mmj. In addition, many of the girls behind the glass are very, very rude. Not all, mind you, but enough to sour me on visiting this establishment if the buds were good, which they are not. D
Atmosphere: Having to take my hat off at the door is suspect; no other dispensary makes me do that. Paying through bullet proof glass makes for an odd experience in a dispensary as well. Overall, the worst atmosphere of any place in the Valley. F-

Straight up, this place sucks. If you need to feed farm animals, consider buying Papa OG instead of hay, your animals will never know the difference. No wonder they have so many sales, their signature strain is complete hay.
Their concentrates are even worse. Are they letting some rookie run their operation? The owners need to fire their grow staff asap, as they are producing complete GARBAGE. MMJ should never smell/taste like hay. Ever. Shatter should not be soupy and black. Ever. AZ Organix cannot even catch this basic stuff before their "meds" make it to patients? CLUELESS.

Hit or miss sometimes. However, the good strains are straight fire. They have a problem keeping Donna in stock, but that is to be expected with such a top strain. What I liked about the last visit was that the guy let me see the nugs I was buying, and was able to make sure I was not seeing fire in the jar, but bringing home hay.

Their computers are always down and they blame "the state," yet other dispensaries are still up and running. It seems like an issue with THEIR COMPUTERS, but they can't be honest and blame the state for their lack of professionalism.
There are shady people hanging out right outside of this place, like dozens. Unsafe atmosphere, not a good experience.
The flower here is a joke, and the prerolls are leaf. If you buy a preroll, congrats, you just bought leaf!
They brag about having dozens of strains, the thing is they are all total crap. If quality and safety are important to you, stay far away. This place is for rookies who do not need high quality herbs.

The prices here are more on par with what I feel is fair for MMJ. $45 across the board for an 8th is not a bad deal, so I decided to give this place a try. I opted for the 4 grams for $50, which gave me the chance to try 4 different strains.
Overall, the product quality is a 2.5/5, but I rounded up to 3 for this review. The buds do not seem to be cured very well, and were too wet for my liking. This resulted in a harsher than necessary hit ("green" tasting) and a sub par taste on all but one of the four strains I tried. I was hoping this would be the dispensary that allowed me to stop going to the co-ops around town, but if this was a sample of their overall quality, no way. The co-ops (or clubs) I go to have much better product, albeit for $5-10 more for an 8th, however I prefer to pay that extra cash to get top shelf quality.
Their concentrate selection was weak, but compared to other licensed dispensaries in the area, they are about right on par. Concentrates are just starting to catch up here in AZ, so dispensaries are still slightly behind the curve (while clubs and co-ops are already meeting customer demand). The thing that irks me about this place is that they charge $45/ half gram and $80/gram of HOUSE concentrate. This is not even strain-specific! I am not sure who they think they are fooling, but anyone paying that price for concentrate that is not strain-specific is crazy. That is more than other places charge for nug-run, premium concentrate made from single strains.
The service: All were very nice. However, when an employee tells me they do not have their card yet, and really do not know a lot about the product yet, I am wondering why the hell this person is helping me?! As nice as she was, I prefer knowledge of the product over a friendly smile. She knew little to nothing about the strains... Not that I need a whole lot of guidance, but it is nice to get another perspective when making choices on which strains to buy.
I will continue to monitor this place to see if their quality increases... However, if your main priority is obtaining the FIRE, and not saving cash, this place may not be your first choice. Their flowers are not terrible, but their quality level is certainly two levels lower than what is acceptable to me. I require the fire, and will pay more to get it.

The medicine was not terrible, and the prices were reasonable. The workers are pretty nice, and seem willing to help out. I did not like the atmosphere all that much, seems rushed and does not really allow one to really enjoy the experience. The place is confusing to navigate, and the strain selection has been sparse. However, I will go back, as I am willing to bet that once they get things really going, they will have lots of good meds on hand.
