Oregon Cannabis Outlet - Eugene

3/13/2018
Wow, don’t go here. And don’t let the low prices and high testing THC fool you. I did, and am totally disappointed. I was hesitant to try it out because it was originally under another name (was it re-leaf?). Then the name changed and they had a new grand opening date, which felt either gimmicky or sketchy. Usually a business has the name settled prior to opening. So what kind of opportunistic or oddly managed dispensary is this? Either way, the weirdness kept me away until today. I saw they had a strain I like on the Leafly menu, and figured what’s the harm. Well, here’s the answer: — Only one budtender on duty, and he was totally overwhelmed with 4 people in the store. There must not have been anyone else in the building because he didn’t call for assistance. It would’ve been different if they took a moment to greet anyone, and say they’ll be right with us or something. Nope, mostly people waited around, potentially wondering what dispensary leaves their employee alone, ever. I’d pay $60 an ounce if they’d have another person on the floor and better customer service. —They’re menu wasn’t up to date on Leafly; many strains sold out and new strains not added. It would’ve helped to be able to browse in the store, but the jars of weed were sitting all around, difficult to determine strains ‘cause the labels weren’t visible. — The budtender touched my weed bare-handed. Never seen that before! Confused, I said, “You’re allowed to touch the product?” And the budtender replied, “Yeah it’s like food service. Sanitize your hands all the time and all that.” I work in food service, and we’re never allowed to touch folks’ food when serving. How would you feel if your waiter set your food on your plate bare handed? Even if they claimed to sanitize (not properly wash, but merely sanitize) their hands? Still unsettling? Same here. I felt like docking off more service stars for the bad comparison, but didn’t have any more to take away. To be clear; I’m sure along the way that bud was touched by many hands, but the stuff going out to the customer is different than what’s being trimmed at the farm. Just like a burger is touched by butchers and cooks, but your waiter doesn’t bring it out displayed on their hand and set it on your plate. Get some tongs, chopsticks, knitting needles, or gloves. —Poorly trimmed and stemmy bud. Yeah, I’m complaining about the cheap stuff they have, and that may seem misguided. If I wanted the best I’d buy top shelf, right? You are right! In this case I expected mediocre bud, and a moderate trim. Definitely couldn’t get a discernible flavor profile from the smell. The $4 gram down the road still has scent, why not this? Is the cure off? What’s going on? Then, while this guy’s pawing the weed onto the scale, he’s not even acknowledging the stems and larf. Didn’t make any effort to take that junk out of the weight. Heck, if a customer will pay for their waste product then why not put it in there right? I mean at least buy me dinner before you bend me over. — Lastly, the label says 0% everything, no harvest date, no testing lab, nothing but the strain name and weight. Makes me think management just gave up and left this one person to themselves without preparing him for success. I genuinely hope they do better, but it’ll be a long time before I give it another shot.

Wildflower PNW

Great store in a beautiful location! Really captures the laid back PNW vibe. The staff knows just how to navigate my need to "just look around" for a while, and they know how to jump in with excellent customer service without being overly retail-y if that makes sense. Felt like chatting with a friend.

Cool atmosphere, always glad they partner with Piece of Mind for good glass next door. Budtender was cold and unwelcoming though. Didn't make me want to go back. Made me miss PDA over by Shorty's.

The Greener Side

I'm a big fan of Greener Side. The location makes it easy to get to from almost anywhere in town, and they're always stocked with great products from prerolls to seeds.

Please add tax to your listed prices. Strikers aren't good at math, and it feels misleading. Consider your demographic, it's gotta be more than 60% rec. while they're listed on the paper menu, the price without tax is always the most prominent on directories.

Purple Chemdawg

TRY THIS! I've had the Chemdawg/GDP version of this strain, and agree to the anxiety relief and relaxation. It's a perfect balance of that euphoric,heady feel of the chemdawg and the laid back GDP vibes. Couch lock usually hit me pretty hard, but this strain allowed me to go out and function before being totally ready for a TPB marathon.

Verde - Willamette

What a cool store. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. I like that they only let a certain number of folks back at a time. The waiting area has three places to hang while you wait. A room with the menu and some magazines, the area with their receptionist, and the merch room. There's cool glass to check out and such. Anyway, the flower selection is bomb! They've got a wide variety of strains for various budgets. Tons of seeds too. The med room is totally separate too, great for privacy. This is a perfect spot for a dispensary too! Eugene has a pretty good public transportation system, and this store is right by the main hub. And they're open early enough to duck in before work if ya need to. Their deals are a big draw too. Check 'em out!

Boy Scout Cookies

Boy Scout Cookies....so good. This is one of my favorite strains by far! From what I recall, it's GSC x Bubba Kush. Definately has indica undertones, if you're prone to drowsiness be careful, this one could make it tough to function. I'm an indica fan, so this is a great mix of body buzz and euphoric heady feel. I can still form full sentences and think clearly thanks to the GSC too. When I was getting it on the regular it was in Seattle, and the buds were much more purple than the pics I see on here.

First checked out this shop while walking around Eugene after grabbing lunch nearby. They've got a great selection of flower and concentrates. And there's always various prerolls to choose from. Their fair prices and daily deals make it easy to head in with little bit of cash and roll out happy. They've got a great staff who's been helpful in not only choosing frosty flower for particular tastes. Even if it's busy (let's say around 4:19?the waiting room is one of the most comfortable in town. There's stuff to read, free coffee and tea, plus jenga if you wanna be social. All around good time at Jamaica Joel's, check it out.
