AYR Cannabis Dispensary - Woodbridge (Med)

Been going here almost 3 years along with 1 or 2 others in NJ local to GSD as I live in that area (union/woodbridge) and I will admit GSD has been my go to. Something seems to have changed perhaps the last few months the quality seems to have gone way which is good to see as it seemed a while back from time to time some of the stuff coiming out of there was Meh, unlike GSD's signature quality reputation. And they are bringing back a few classics like the Atlantic sunrise and OG kush and OG 18 lines and added a few Orange apricot and Jungle strains, which in my opinion when grown to perfection (and GSD's cultivators/processors have been doing just that lately holy s) are some of highest quality and most effective medicine in NJMMP's program. The last round of those 5 I just mentioned were some of the best quality bud I've gotten from GSD to date but everything has been dialed in lately that's been coming out of there and I mean everything. The GMO the last few times has gotten way better. I call it happy weed there is nothing better imo in the NJMMP program aside from maybe the BP from Breakwater (which I also call happy weed btw smoke some of each and you will see what I mean). So I have to say whatever they have been doing lately at GSD is working so please keep doing it and thanks to everyone that is part of that setup, staff especially in Union is excellent but they are all great!.

This place is great...until you try one of the other dispensaries in NJ and start to make comparisons. Staff, and service are great, they are all well informed and helpful for the most part, no real complaints there. The facilities are nice, well kept and modern in an accessible location, always well stocked w/ accessories and paraphernalia. Unfortunately, the hands down most important aspect of this business is the one thing these guys get wrong. The buds...my first, and biggest complaint is their supply. There are days when they only have ONE premium strain!!! 'Dont like that super energizing Sativa that will wreak havoc w/ your anxiety? Sorry! Maybe try back tomorrow, but no promises the selection will be any better.' Maybe I am spoiled b/c the first one I went to, and what I consider to be my "main" dispensary, ALWAYS has at least 8 premium flower strains on hand, and half a dozen vape cart and dab oil strains, as well as lozenges, and food-grade oil (MCT). These guys will have AT MOST 3 or 4 premium flower strains and that is once in a purple moon, they always do seem to have 2 or 3 strains of CBD/Mids/premium-shake, and a couple stains in vape carts on hand though. As for the quality of what they do have....well, I have found one or two REALLY good strains, but bc of their supply inconsistencies, I haven't tried them all. One thing I have noticed, is that compared to my reference dispensary (whom I dont want to name in the review of another facility), they also seem to not invest as much into the processing, manicuring and packaging as they could. For example, my main uses heavy-weight tinted glass jars, and the buds are ALWAYS beautiful, I'm talking moist, and pungent, with glistening trichomes. Where GSD uses clear, plastic jars, and I have noticed that the bud is almost always dried out, which causes the organic matter and trichomes to more easily rub and break off. Idk if that's from the light getting in, or that the plastic is more permeable than the glass and lets more air in, but whatever the case, its noticeable....this quality issue somehow extends to the vape cartridges as well. While, they arent bad, they are very thick, and VERY dark to the point you cant see through it at all, even when held up to sun light. It does its job, and you can taste the strain that it is, in comparison the vape carts I get elsewhere are still very thick, but not dark at all and the oil resembles light greenish honey. As for prices, they are in the ballpark of the other dispensaries for their flower, but their vapr carts are a good bit cheaper then I have found elsewhere. One thing I have noticed is that this dispensary carries Curaleaf products now and then, which, I assume is a sister company or under the same corporate parent. These Curaleaf products prices vary, their flower is cheaper, but their vape carts are more expensive. Now, while so far this review may have sounded negative, it's all relative. Regardless, going to this dispensary is still a THOUSAND times better than dealing with the street. They may have their issues, but the staff is great, they've in a good location, and it's better than many alternatives. Favorite Strains (Havent tried all): GG#4 - Original Glue/Gorrila Glue, awesomely potent Indicaa Super Lemon Haze - Tasty citrus in an energizing, but happy-making, sativa GMO Cookies - Smells and tastes...well, like garlic, onions, and mushrooms were tossed with skunky buds. Not fan of smell and taste, but an awesome indica-heavy hybrid

Take it from me, a person that visits GDS every other day, this place is wonderful. Clean, friendly and knowledgeable employees, great bud and prices, and they cut down the lines within minutes. I have NEVER had an unpleasant experience here and always leave happy. Keep up the great work GDS!!!

I chose GSD after reading some really unpleasant experiences as far as how patients were treated. Every ATC has a few horrid reviews that you can tell aren’t valid and just angry rants, GSD seemed to have the least of those. It’s also conveniently located near a bunch of highways. I usually get their “shake” because it’s about $20 cheaper per 1/8th than flower and it’s actually just uglier smaller buds pre-ground with the kief mixed back in. You can visibly see that when it’s still stuck in a puck when they flip it upside down like Dairy Queen. Though the “shake” is ground quite fine so it has been problematic in rolling papers but great for your pipes or dry herb vapes. They currently only offer smokable only but I hear the extracts lab is expected to open before the end of the year! This place is very clean and has a nice medically professional ambiance with a semi luxurious lobby area with couches and chairs, educational binders, & menus which are updated throughout the day. Everyone there is super friendly and helpful, you definitely feel welcomed right away. The only con I would have to say about this place is that it must be so good compared to the others because I’m always meeting people from other ATCs there and people purchase meds faster than they can grow them so the menu can be finicky. Luckily they have a super user friendly website with the menu updated throughout the day, everyday! Oh and wicked prices on glass pieces!!! Definitely my main spot
