Lucky Lion Weed Dispensary Portland Hwy 84 & Halsey
9/22/2019
This is the gold standard of cannabis retail experiences, and somewhere dispensary management should look to for an example. A rich menu of flower, both house grown and others, healthy selection of concentrates (including new runs of LL classics, like their SFV OG!), and a very nice sampling of reliable tropicals and glass. And all at reasonable prices!
Beyond that, though, several things elevate Lucky Lion into a class shared by few other PDX establishments. Their presentation is extremely polished while still feeling bespoke and not intimidating, which several other high-end establishments can fail to balance so well. While Lucky Lion holds themselves to extremely high standards, they also know how to have fun and be real, as is evidenced by the healthy assortment of munchies and treats stashed away across from the real good stuff.
Their truly extraordinary element, however, is their crew of budtending staff. People like Ruben, Sherman, and the several others there every day sharing incredible passion and enthusiasm for their craft, deep knowledge of the medicine, and above all, empathy and compassion and just plain realness that you will be hard-pressed (no pun intended) to find anywhere else.
Plus, sometimes they give you Popeyes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
