Nature's Medicines - Happy Valley (Med/Rec)

6/15/2022
Still trying to stay with these guys. My last review was in error, when I opened the weed it was moldy, all three halfs were unsmokable and will be flushed. I have yet to find a dispensary in AZ that is no affected by the mold problem. I do agree with national estimates, about 20-30% is moldy and unacceptable. So I decided to switch to vape cartridges on recommendation of a doctor. Giving it try now, hope the vape quality is higher than the flower.

Been ordering online from this store and everything has been great since. Don't care for the dispensary itself. The other locations are ok but also very busy. The online here is great, no issues at all and despite getting the low tier stuff on sale the quality has been decent, some have been just as good as top tier stuff. Online is the way to go here, its free if you order over $80 and you can turn down anything that looks bad. I just check the dates. Every once in a while you get something that's a bit old but you can just refuse it when they come to your house. That only happened to me once with a 1/8th. It was six months old and the driver just took that off for me. Great experience online.

Purchased 1 ounce and a quarter. All sale items were so bad I had to flush them down the toilet. Only 1/2 once was smokable. 3/4 of an ounce was the worst quality I have seen in Phoenix to date. Total loss. Very poor quality weed. I will have to go without medicine for a weeks because of this dispensary. I wont be back.

Bad news. The budtender told me all flower will sell as top shelf, they are already making the adjustment. That means they will still have the flower I usually buy but its going to double in price. If you purchased top shelf you will now also being buying weed that sold for half as much recently. Sounds like everyone loses. On the hunt for a new place. Very sad, like losing a family member.

I purchased 2 halfs about a month ago and they were decent. So I decide to go pick up four more, so far three of them are all soft and mildewy and will have to be thrown out. One is just barely smokable, same problem. This is all I have been getting everyone so not a knock on these guys, sometimes you get lucky and here I get lucky more than most. This time I blew 2 months of cash and got nothing. Its kind of like a slot machine. I would avoid their prepacks, I think the discount prepacks are just weed that has gone bad. Metallic taste, swells up the throat, lungs kill. Its not enjoyable and for medical people like me has to flushed. Still, I have the best luck here than anywhere else. It might just be a problem with the prepacks so its just a pull of the slot machine to see what happens. I hope I have better luck next time. Throat is swelling up from trying to smoke again. Its hard to go cold turkey after spending a few hundred bucks. I wish dispensaries would just toss it out when it goes bad.

Purchased a few 1/8s of Jack Herer which was excellent. I also picked up an ounce on sale, it was really bad. It was unsmokable. I brought it right back it looked so bad. I could not see it at purchase as during the Rona, with pickup, you cant inspect the product first. As another customer told me as I waited (these places could take your money and give you the finger, cant do a single thing about it). It was so bad the manager felt sorry for me and admitted "If any manager saw that ounce first we would never had sold it to you. So they compensated my ounce with a free quarter. I lost $90 or three quarters in the transaction. To this dispensaries credit they admitted I was ripped off and would have to go without medicine for some time unless I had more money to try and gamble again. I did not so I just have three weeks of vomiting and pain. The managers were sympathetic to what they did to me and what my future held due to their mistake but said its company policy to stick losses to the customer (although they put it more nicely). I mean really, you expect a dispensary to throw out weed with mildew on it when they can just sell it? They told me this place cares about customers so I should write "Jason" who cares and he will respond for sure and take care of this as they noted my account. I have emailed three times, no response. I would not come back here. They even told me that bad ounce that they admit was bad and should not be sold was their "top shelf".

Curaleaf - Midtown

I am on a quest for a location that actually tosses bad weed instead of just selling it. Nope, not this place. I like this place, its nice, prices are acceptable. I purchased a bunch of 1/8ths at the mid level point and its decent. Then I tried the half ounce approach which is usually a 50/50 proposition as far as slight mildew. Same thing here. It was a deal as far as price for a half ounce but I cant smoke it so its destine for the toilet. Just take a look at their 1/2 ounces. If weed gets to the point it cant be smoked, this dispensary, like most, will just discount and sell it anyway. Remember, its not a deal at any price if you just flush it down the toilet when you get home. You can accomplish the same thing just flushing the money directly. The new patient special is good for a 1/4 so that limited my damage as the other weed is at least smokeable. I might come back here as the prices are reasonable but stick to 1/8ths and mix em up. This will limit the amount of damage from bad weed. Have had this problem at MOST dispensaries. I continue my quest for a dispensary that sells quality weed.

I have been going here and only here for almost a year. Indeed they have new owners that do keep raising the prices. Shop around, there is plenty of supply in the Valley, they are just gouging. As soon as Arizona declared an emergency this dispensary raised popcorn prices from $100 to $160 an ounce. 60% increase for no other reason than they think you might be scared and pay it, dont. Might be worth while for people to write the state complaining about it. I am going to do my best to get the media to cover companies like this. When everyone else is trying to survive this emergency this owner is fleecing medical patients. Remember, they are not corner drug dealers, so report them to the state. Other Valley dispensaries have the same bud from the same sources for under $100 an ounce so no need to give these people anything.

All Greens

Was my goto place. I just went in for the second time in as many days and spent another $260. One of the quarters was bad (sealed bags). Brown, moist, harsh and horrendous tasting (I had bought a gram earlier and it was just fine). This is their "reserve", the best of the best. Manager offered a free grinder. I told him that was not good enough and most likely would not be coming back. He seemed to have no problem with a regular walking over something he could easily confirm and correct. This is why you should not settle for sealed bags and always go "deli style". All Greens and others have terrible customer service. They brag about it but how hard is it to take peoples cash? When a problem arises, even if they can confirm the customer is correct they hold their ground over a few bucks. Remember people, these are not drug dealers, you have options. You can simply go somewhere else. I think All Greens forgot that and just kissed 2500 bucks a year goodbye. A few reviews here and there and a few more lost customers as well. All over some weed that if they just try smoking they would be ashamed of. What a shame.

Finally decent flower, deli style. Well thought out specials that allow you to pick up top shelf halves for $130 while sampling top shelf grams at $10. That's with taxes. The quality of the bud marked SF is superior. It is somewhat cured compared to other vacuum packed garbage out there. Smaller, more laid back. I felt more at home immediately. They don't rush you. You can't beat smelling huge jars of nugs. I did not check weight. Mostly grams and they looked close enough if not over. Found my new place.
