  I'm so tired of these places playing pricing games... Stop charging one price one day & a different price a different day. A $4 difference because it's Monday is fudged up... It's predatory & wrong. Give me a fair price every day or lose my respect & business. Start voting with your dollars stoners

  Came in at 4:45 pm I came in a week ago and got a coupon to use, I left it at the desk and came back to ask for it. They told me they have found one but then said they said they couldn’t give it out and I asked if they can show me ever using me second time which the cashier told me no I’ve only used the first time. Hollister higher levels have gave me my discounts still after loosing it in there store. The manager just kept saying it’s not possible. So it shows me not using it but they told me no they won’t give it to me I came from Morgan hill an hour definitely not worth the experience or customer service Hollister higher levels and other high levels would actually be better then here on seaside.

  As a person with Parkinson's Disease, I came in looking for an Indica gummy to help with my insomnia, depression, and anxiety. PD has limited my ability to exercise: now 73, I'd been a lifelong surfer, tennis player, and martial arts aficionado which meant I'd never had any lasting problems listed above. My budtender was great. As I told her what I was looking for, she quickly understood and told me she had a mix of CBD/CBN Indica gummies in mind that should suit my needs. The Cannabis-Infused Boysenberry Gummies I purchased did the trick. I slept straight through the night for the first time in several weeks and awoke feeling refreshed, relaxed, and ready to get out and enjoy a beautiful spring day with no side effects whatsoever. Also, I feel good about supporting a small local business and bypassing Big Pharma garbage, much of which I'm trying to taper off.

  I don’t usually leave reviews, but my experience this past Father’s Day weekend was so negative that I feel obligated to speak up. When I walked into the dispensary, I was greeted — or more accurately, not greeted — by a man named Elias at the front desk. I came in with a good attitude, smiled, and asked how he was doing. He completely ignored my question, didn’t make eye contact, and just asked for my ID in a flat, dismissive tone. After I told him I was a returning patient, he looked down, mumbled something I couldn’t hear, gave me my ID back, and gave me a silent thumbs-up. I politely asked him what he had said, and again he mumbled without looking at me and gave another thumbs-up. I apologized and asked him to repeat himself because I genuinely didn’t hear him. That’s when he finally told me I was good to go in. At that point, I asked, “Hey, are you okay?” because his energy and tone were noticeably cold and off-putting. He replied, “Yeah, I’m good.” I said, “You just seem kind of upset — are you sure you’re okay?” and he said, “I’m solid as a rock.” I told him that I hadn’t been there in a while, but I didn’t remember the front desk being so unfriendly, and that maybe he could work on his customer service. That’s when he told me: “I’m security. I don’t have to have customer service. I don’t have to smile.” I was honestly shocked by that response. I told him that regardless of whether he’s security or not, he’s still the first person customers see — and basic friendliness goes a long way. He then said, “Everyone has their own expectations.” I replied that this wasn’t about expectations — this was about respect, and that in most dispensaries, even security staff say hello, smile, and make customers feel welcome. Rather than take any of that to heart, he told me that I seemed very confrontational and that he was choosing not to let me in. I calmly asked to speak to a manager or someone in charge, and as I stepped aside, I witnessed him check in the next several people in line — completely differently. He greeted them warmly, asked how they were doing, explained deals, and even used their names. He was suddenly full of energy and friendliness. So clearly, he can be professional and polite — he just chose not to be with me. That’s what hurt the most. I mentioned that it was disappointing that it took me getting upset for him to finally smile — and he just smiled again, like the whole thing was a joke. This experience absolutely soured my day and put a damper on my Father’s Day weekend. I walked in with good energy, and I walked out feeling disrespected and judged for no good reason. This dispensary really needs to rethink who they have representing them at the front. Whether you're security or budtending, customer service starts the moment someone walks in the door. I won’t be coming back.
