This place is just what you expect from the neighborhood, but more disappointing. Go there if you simply can't get your stuff anywhere else. And definitely wash your hands.

The best dispensary I have visited since the advent of dispensaries. A small space but great quality, superior service and a mellow but educated band of "Budtenders." For those on the tall side, beware of the counter area-I have hit my big dumb melon head on the top part of the service window frame 3x-some of us are slow learners. I love this place, great deals, excellent quality and service.

It’s eclectic
I like that its right down the street so i can walk. The budtenders are very knowledgeable and friendly. Keep up the good work.

I love this place, it's small, and quaint, and I got more information in the ten minutes I was there than any of the other places combined! The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. This is my new go to for my business, and a laugh or two. Thank you for the great information. Eva

Brian & Joshua were awesome! They definitely know what they are talking about and their quality is outstanding for the price!

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

Usually an excellent shop and it is so please don’t get this review confused, but unfortunately poor customer service can collapse the entire experience and make it extremely uncomfortable and questionable on whether I return or not - the employees name is Brant or Brent or something. First poor experience I’ve had unfortunately... The long haired gentleman who’s name starts with a J is excellent, the guy who wears glasses is also very nice and the girl is exceptionally attentive and sweet as well, this was a shocking experience, really kind of a bummer. You guys carry the products I love and are excellent so I guess I just need to avoid this one employee. Much love to you guys, have a great day

Always beautiful flower and top notch concentrates. They have the best quality solventless live resins and bubble hash, and also list terpene profiles along with the strains on the menu for easy reference.
