Best weed dispensaries near you with authentic reviews

Just stopped in last week after work, and Aaron totally hooked me up with the chillest strains and really turned my night around. I was totally stressed out and his warm personality and reassuring nature really helped me get in a better headspace. His energy is truly healing, and his advice was spot on and he made sure I got the best deals available. GMO is my new best friend.

Staff is always super nice and helpful. They do a good job getting patients in and out quickly. Mason helped me today, he had a positive vibe and is a certified math wiz. Always coming back here.

Love the business.Love the customer service.Good all the way around the table.I would advise everybody to shop there.

Sarah well get you baked i asked for recommendation on a product and i wasnt dissapointed… long lines and wait times don’t exist here.  Great service and great people do! if Sarah ur budtender u won't be disappointed

Another beautiful day with Mellisa and the whole Jars crew... thank u for always being kind :)

Went real smooth, good service quality product. Keep up the good work!!

I live almost directly behind this store. I needed something tonight so I walked over to get something. The website says they're open until 8. I got to their gate at 7:48. The gate was already locked and chained. I don't know about you, but when a store says it closes at 8 I expect them to still be open at 7:48. I need a pot store that realizes that lots of people buy their weed in the evening...

So excited about this new dispensary. It’s 2 cities away from me but add it to our monthly shopping foray into Goleta. Worth it! Can’t wait for a smoke room sometime in the future.

Great shop, great vibes. I've been to quite a few dispensaries, and this one stands out for the layout of the shop. Very few shops let you wander around and actually pick up a product like you're at the supermarket, meaning it's usually confined behind glass and you need one-on-one help with a tender, but here you can browse at your leisure. I usually research online for what I want beforehand, so I can't attested to their knowledge of product, but they always have new product and cultivars that I want to try. yes, they can get crowded, so it's best to go during off-hours, so you don't feel rushed, but kudos for trusting the customers with being able to touch the product. Also, since it's inevitable that a person will open something, check to see if it's been opened. One last note; taxes are high in Slo, so expect that. I've read about high taxes in other reviews, but that is something that should be taken up with local gov and not the business itself. Everything on the Central Coast is expensive, but the prices before taxes are competitive. I know because I research what others are charging from here all the way down to Lompoc. It's true you won't get many "deals" though.

5 Star experience always! My go to shop when I am visiting the area.

LOVE THEM!! picked up some dank flower and the service here is wonderful, wish y’all had the Left Coast Extracts pods, been hearing a lot of good things about them. 

Super cute place to chill and smoke. Food is ok, they were out of half the beverages on a Saturday afternoon. But overall great experience!

I love this place I won’t shop anywhere else. The deals are amazing and the product is also amazing budtenders are super knowledgeable and special shout out to express thank you Jaden and BJ for helping me always. Yall rock !!!

I find Embarc to be one of the most affordable store compared to their competitors. Both fresh locations have great, friendly staff.

Max did a great job of helping me with service

Very clean and professional store. The customer service was friendly and welcoming. The selection of Smokiez was the best I've seen yet compared to other stores. Definitely will be returning.

Always on the Ball.. Great People who will point you to the right product..As a Passport Club member the Deals are Outstanding.. Location, Location...

When I used to live in Alameda, this would be my go to shop. Super friendly staff, great service and knowledge of everything on display. Anytime I head back to Alameda, I’ll be stopping here for sure. And their merch is super cute

Wow, wow, wow! D’Ann went above and beyond to help me out. Even though Elevated didn’t have my strain, they made sure I didn’t walk away unhappy. This level of friendly service is simply unmatched anywhere else in the bay. Highly recommend, especially if D’Ann is behind the counter!

they do good business In and out if you need to be, but traditionally welcoming environment if you haven't a clue your freedom to make an informed decision is more to less, respected and won't directly inconvenience anybody like you know you've delt with at other dispensaries that who's name I will not mention.

Sabian was my budtender and he was a very comforting presence and person to shop with. Brought the purchasing of my weed to a good vibe and chill person.
