Best weed dispensaries in Arcata, California with authentic reviews

I want too bow down to the knowledge Oakley has, she helped me with pain management CBD when I tore up my shoulder, the inflammation is so gone I can use my arm, and sleep. Thank you sweet lady. Chris

This store is my Favorite dispensary! Always friendly,and so patient. Always a Happy Vibe in the air!

I have been to just about EVERY DISPENSARY within a 30 mile radius, and TOP SHELF is the ONLY store to be honest about their products! And their daily specials ARE NOT SHAKE or what you would call THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL or JAR! I haven't went ANYWHERE ELSE but here for years now!

Gnome Grown has become my go to store for cannabis, and I have been to many other shops!

They were very knowledgeable about their products and they also gave me a fifteen percent discount which I wasn't aware, because I don't go to the store. That was really nice of them. Definitely, will come back to purchase more products.

I love going in here. best deals on the mountain with high quality goods. they have deals everyday and a punch card so make sure to grab one if you either live on the mountain or visit often. thanks for all your hard work guys.

Archive is the GOAT. I've been going to dispensaries and shops for some time. They are HANDS down, the most polite, very knowledgeable and focus on customer service. Love all the staff.

Buffalo is a great help good weed Good people great price

I had a wonderful experience, Olivia and Stephanie were both very sweet and super helpful. Would highly suggest to check the place!

I dropped by to pick up my order tonight and was helped by a very warm and personable staff member.

I love coming here cris baggs is wonderful to talk to and always makes my day just that much better

Recently started using these friendly folks as my local and they’ve got great prices and friendly service. Pleased I found them!

The staff is great they have a great selection and the best prices in town

It's a small location. Not alot to stand back and browse. Budtenders are always sociable and knowledgeable about different strains. I love the fact that we have a dispensary right in our neighborhood. It's a good thing!

Great selection and great staff Just wish you were a medical dispensary.

It's always clean and well-stocked! The budtenders are also knowledgeable and helpful. This is the place to visit in St Helens!

I liked everything about it Candice was the best made me feel super welcomed

Every single time I shop here, I am treated kindly and have received great, helpful, knowledgeable information. I am very loyal and have only shopped somewhere else if I was out of the area.

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.

I enjoy my experience here the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about there products they have good deals also.

Mary Mart is one of my fav dispos! I time my trips to match the deal days which is always a bonus with dispos in general, and every budtender I've met is rad! I always walk out feeling good about what I've bought, and more importantly - the staff listen to what I'm looking for when I ask for a recommendation. They're also honest about best deals vs best brands, when to come in for the best prices, and which new products they're actually digging at the moment. Always love the vibe and the look of the place! Only downside I've had is the parking lot, but they've usually got someone out to help people park/make sure people aren't parking like a**hats :)

The "last chance" dispensary before you head out into the woods and lakes. Fan of this shop since its old location, and while the new location is smaller, the staff is just as knowledgeable and friendly! The owner is often in the shop and she is always happy and helpful too. Lots of selection/variety of products and great prices. Always a pleasant experience!

I am a budtender in the Portland area on a visit to Seattle. I’ve been here once before my last trip. The bud is awesome, the bud tender and staff are awesome and they offered me an industry discount. It’s the only shop I’ve been to in the area, but there’s really no reason to go anywhere else for me, as it’s extremely convenient as well. Top knotch shop! Thank you :)

The vibe of this dispensary is laid back and fun. I will say I hate the crazy rush hour but, whether it’s online pick up and/or building my order it pretty quick and easy. Kaley, Jordan, Ricardo and many more all of you are amazing at your job and knowledge of products

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.

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.

I rarely write reviews. I will this time only cuz I’m shocked how many negative comments are here and low ratings over petty things. This is literally the best weed shop I’ve ever been to, and I’ve shopped in three states for the entire decade or so it’s been legal. These folks communicate well, without talking out their a** like most of the budtenders I encounter elsewhere. If they don’t know the answer to a question, they admit that. They don’t just tell you a bunch of buzz words to dazzle you into a sale. On the other hand, they patiently teach me all sorts of stuff about terpenes, delivery mechanisms, etc. any time they aren’t too busy. For the first time in my life, I’m able to walk away with actual medicine, not just a bunch of pretty stuff that smells good. I’m able to get real relief without as many unwanted side effects. You might pay less other places, but you will get what you pay for in terms of both quality of product and quality of personal interaction. Also, while I don’t love the local charity they choose to rally behind, I DO love that they try and give back to the community in that way. I especially appreciate that I can be trans, disabled, and autistic and still be treated with complete respect and kindness there :)
