    Great small shop, straight forward service with great variety of products even big name brands and a good price with card payments too. A bit tucked in on the old 395 hwy but worth the trip.

    Edit 7/2026 Well shoot that was short lived, after my visit today (my husbands visit actually) they are back to the expensive prices and not very good options. A quarter for $45, of stemy smalls with minimal crystals. No!!!!!!! What happened, I thought MJ Direct was different than the last company that was running this cute little medicinal house?!? And Apathetic, at best customer service. Bring the guy who helped me last time back. This place is so off the beating path, you gotta be consistent to make it worthwhile for us. I was offered a first time patient discount when I went 2 weeks ago, he was not offered that today. I changed from 5 stars to 2 stars. Who is this guy working today? 7/8/2026 Please retrain. Edit 6/2026- A WHOLE NEW BALL GAME!! MJ Direct has come to the rescue!! Harum, (i think thats his name) was the guy there. He was very welcoming, I appreciate the great customer service. We are back in business with a good local dispensary. Great selections and great prices. Amazing customer service 👏 👌 🙌 👍 😀 Im so grateful 🙏 8/2024- Things have changed, seems like you all are going for the out of towners and not us everyday, every week, every month locals who live 10 minutes away- that would be crazy 🙈, gotchya 😉, gotta make that profit... best deal is a quarter of the house brand @$60 plus tax...bummer, I'd go broke at those prices- used to be way better "...But there is a joint for $42 and a $60 quarter is a way better deal..." That's what I was told by the budtender...🤦‍♀️ Now I go to Vista, 25 minutes away (worth the trip- no cap), Off The Charts and The Cake House have way better selections, better prices and better discounts...I get a half of The Fight for less than $80 -out the door and I support The Fight again human Trafficking- SOLD! Don't play me Outco 😤🫤 (Slakin' on the local love 💔, Boo 👎, not feeling too welcomed) 2022...Super great place, Id highly recommend.. They are not far off the beating path in North Escondido, Rainbow area. Usually customer service is usually really great. Its nice to be remembered or recognized when we are there a couple times a month. The prices are very competitive, so after tax doesn't feel so harsh. I think the outco brand is good quality and they have many other brands too. They used to do a slight discount for clients with cancer diagnosis, but I think they stopped doing that. They also used to do fun daily deals, but that hasn't happened in a while either. They also let multiple shoppers in with only 1 cashier, so its not very private anymore, and seems to make the cashier guy less personable. All in all, even though its on the smaller side, its (USED TO BE) one of my favorite stores for location, quality of flower and carts, price point and the nice people who work there.
