About this dispensary
Alternative Remedies
Welcome to Alternative Remedies! We pride ourselves in being a small batch craft cannabis shop, farm and a solvent-less full-melt bubble hash / rosin facility. Our shop strives to carry some of the highest quality cannabis products on the market. We carry product from our own in house garden, staple strain OG 18, along with farmers such as Happy Cabbage, Terra Canna, Viridia, Nelson & Co., Trichome Farms, Oregrown and Lion Tree Farm to name a few. Over 50 strains on our shelves means we’re serious about having the best selection. Try Oregon Diesel, Galactic Alien Cookies, or Mimosa for unique relaxation. We believe in supporting local business from cannabis products, to glass items. We have high end, locally made glass from Jason Walker and Byron Keirnan, both featured in Oregon Leaf Magazine. We’re also proud to be the exclusive Southeast Portland location to carry Braveheart Private Reserve products, Winner of the Hightimes Cannabis Cup. Here’s what the Portland Mercury had to say about Alternative Remedies: “Just off Southeast 82nd, Alternative Remedies (8109 SE Flavel) has a well-curated collection of flower and concentrates, including a wide spectrum of solvent-free concentrates that I’ve not seen before, under the name Permaculture Solutions….the product—offered in both single-strain and mixed-strain varieties—sparkles in the light, and is so pure it bubbles when smoked (hence “bubble hash”), leaving behind virtually no ash. Permaculture’s production process removes the chlorophyll, leaving you with a “full melt” concentrate that fills your mouth with intense flavor. For old heads who miss the Nepalese Temple Ball hash experience, this will bring back memories. The ice wax looks like bright, clean, fine sand, and the rosins are closer to shatter in consistency. They can all be consumed using a dab rig, although I used a vaporizer and got stellar results.” Daily Deals provided all days of the week! All Menu Prices Include 20% Sales Tax **OMMP Does Not Pay 20% Sales Tax**

Tim was my budtender when I dropped into Alternative Remedies last week, and of course my stoner-ass is just getting around to writing the review... There are a few things I would like to mention about Tim and my experiences at Alternative Remedies: 1) This neighborhood dispensary has a calm, clean and cozy environment, with lots of educational posters and various helpful informational handouts to provide context for #2. 2) All the budtenders that have helped me with my purchases have been delightfully and scientifically informative, without seeming condescending or overly “bro”-y. As someone who has been to many dispensaries in many states, I have encountered a lot of different types of budtenders, but the ones at Alternative Remedies have left one of the best impressions by providing scientific, thorough and relevant information to my shopping experience. For example, I mentioned that one strain Tim presenter to me smelled like mango! And he got this bright-eyed look and told me all about the terpene “myrcene” that is found in high quantities in mangos (and hops), and of course, certain strains of cannabis. I love shit like this, and sure enough, there was a poster behind me that had even more information about terpenes that I was invited to take a picture of. 3) The products I have purchased have been of excellent quality for the price. Lately, Oregon is notorious for its affordable cannabis, and I have noticed that you often get what you pay for when it comes to “cheap” ounces. Alternative Remedies’ “cheap ounces” are, by far, of superior quality! I was pleased to hear that Tim would let me mix and match strains as well, which seems to be an increasingly rare option when it comes to purchasing flower from dispensaries. 4) I have gotten free shit more than once for asking questions and just being generally observant. This is not a tourist’s dispensary and feels like visiting a better-equipped version of your old weed dealer, so relationships matter. They are generous and true weed aficionados at Alternative Remedies, and for that reason I felt compelled to actually write a review! Thanks again <3

been going here for months since I can walk. bought a half and discovered it was almost 4 years old. took the old and no longer viable stuff back for an exchange at the least, since the MLS date was before I was sold to. was told by the day guy, not James, I get what I get, and the woman told me it's still legal and maybe affects someone else differently. whatever, dump your old junk in the compost bin. totally bummed about the poor customer service. don't recommend this place for edible supplies, as even cooking won't save expired plant products. booooo!!!!
James the bud tender is Awesome he was very friendly and polite definitely I'm coming back to them good prices too
