Mint

4/29/2015
As a repeat customer of Mint, I just have to say that I have had nothing but great customer service and top quality medicine from them. Most of my experiences with them have been through delivery. You have a couple options with delivery-- you can either order online, or order on the phone. I don't remember if I have tried their online delivery or not, but most of my deliveries I call in because I like to check what's still in stock. Their deliveries always show up right on time-- in fact, they always ask when is convenient for ME to receive the delivery. Now that's good service! Also, every delivery I have ever scheduled showed up the same day I placed the order. The only downside to delivery is really not their fault-- they can no longer accept debit cards for the time being because banks are assholes. 'Nuff said. Let me also just say they ALWAYS throw in some some kind of freebie for me. I do tend to make pretty big purchases, but you know what? That is still going above and beyond. And because I have become such a die hard fan of their medicine, yesterday I took a visit to their physical shop with my caretaker. Oh. My. God! The budtender helping us out took such good care of us. If you happen to be that budtender, I am DETERMINED to learn your name the next time I go in or place an order for delivery. Because you see, after all my orders via delivery, all I had to do was walk in, show my ID, and wouldn't you know it, he KNEW who I was just by looking at my ID! Okay, just one more note here before I conclude the review. I know some folks are just looking to get their smoke on, and you know what? They're happy to help you out in that department. I know I enjoy a good vape session. But for me personally, I have severe anxiety and Tourette's, which are my primary reasons for turning to marijuana in the first place. Well, let's just say when I told the budtender that I have Tourette's syndrome, he ran to the back room, and came back with a freebie for me-- something that will soon be hitting their shops, but hasn't quite made it onto the floor yet. It is an olive oil tincture called "Kind Drops" that is a CBD oil. Comes with a dropper, and pretty much you just squirt it somewhere in your mouth. It is not psychoactive, so if that's what you're looking for, it may not be for you. However, I always feel like I need to tic, even when I'm not ticcing. My Tourette's is really severe when I am not using marijuana. With just smoke, it was mild. So if you have a movement disorder, please listen when I say that minutes after taking the Kind Drops, I literally felt like I no longer had Tourette's syndrome. It was not a part of my system any more. Sure, the effects of the tincture wore off after several hours, but I am happy to keep taking the tincture so long as it gives me that level of relief. TL;DNR-- if you are person with disabilities, you will get top quality meds and service. If you're just there for the buzz, they've got you covered, too. Recommend for everyone.

Collective Awakenings

12/4/2013
I am a recently established medical marijuana patient living in Portland, OR, and I LOVE Collective Awakenings. After looking around on Leafly for a quality dispensary where I could use my new card, I decided my first stop would be Collective Awakenings. Well, now I have no reason to go anywhere else. Every staff member I've dealt with is extremely friendly. On my first visit, they gave me a free Doob Tube to take home-- and when my caregiver discovered a mistake in the way they calculated the price (we would have been saving a LOT because of it) and mentioned it to them, they corrected the price and threw in about five Js. In the times that followed, I realized just how much the staff love what they do, and how much they care about giving you the best service possible. They are never patronizing, and they are always more than happy to explain things to you if you have questions. I have been there about 3 times now, and every time I buy flowers they are fresh and trimmed to have very little stem. The staff will often suggest a strain tailored to what you're looking for. The flowers smell wonderful, and when you get home and light up a bowl, you won't be disappointed. I can also highly suggest their medibles. My favorite item of theirs is their brownies. I just bought a couple of Chocolate Bombs and a cupcake, which I haven't eaten yet, but will soon. I will warn you-- they make these things STRONG. Don't make any plans if your going to eat one. The Green Monster sodas are delicious, so pick up a few if you stop by. They have consistently good hash, shatter, BHO, tincture, and though I've yet to try their kief, I plan on doing so very, very soon (since I just picked some up). I just tried their Larry OG shatter, and I am blown away with what it did for my anxiety, Tourette's, and muscle spasms. If you want great customer service and reliable medicine, this is your place. I might also add that the inside of the place is extremely welcoming, clean, and smells great.
