AYR Cannabis Dispensary - Woodbridge (Med)

Made purchase on 5/3/25 for 7grams paid 97.76 for it with my discount,and when I got home and open my bag 2.9 GRAMS ONLY!!!! They refused to exchange my ripped off bag,and only offered me 10% on my next purchase. I called police but no show on their part. BUYER BEWARE HAVE THEM WEIGH YOUR STUFF IN FRONT OF YOU BEFORE YOU PURCHASE. REMEMBER NO REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES. I PAID 97.76 FOR 2.9 GRAMS.......

The atmosphere was more therapeutic when it was just medical and now they act the total opposite since offering recreational products. I think they should try to retain more of the therapeutic atmosphere at least for the medical patients.

prices here are bad yet the people who work here are worse. there are plenty of places in NJ where they treat you with respect woodbridge does not. rude, obnoxious, lazy, is how I would describe the people who work here. management, what management there seems to be none. the workers are running the asylum. all they do is get high before work and when 8am comes no one is ready to work. is it 8am they open or 815 and it seems you can never just go in and get out with out a hassle. i strongly recommend going ANYWHERE else where the product is better and the people who work there are not rude. this place literally sucks! I would never ever go there again. AYR = horrible

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!.

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!!!

It was more fragrant when it was owned by GSD and now it’s AYR better ventilation I guess. The THC percentages are not consistent within batches and visits. Therefore products are not consistently good. If their IT is responsible for online ordering input they’re not being monitored. Most of the time that info isn’t there. High THC levels are extremely important for me (insomnia and chronic pain). Flower tends to be dry all the time so I get that quick burn. Bleh!!

This place is a disaster. I have been to Apothecary, Rise and Zen Leaf. Even with dozens in line I have never waited more than 20 mins, they all have Many registers actively operating, their staff is excellent, and they’re all open until 9pm or later (and actually Take Customers until then!). I tried this place for the first time today. Ordered on line this morning with a 7:15pm pickup appointment time. The website stated they were open until 8pm, and absolutely nothing stated to come earlier than your appointment, etc. I arrived at 7:10pm and the guard told me appointments meant nothing and to get in the (Very Long) line with the walk-ins. At 7:15pm he informs us that no one is allowed in after 7:30pm (then put your flipping hours as closing at 7:30!). There was absolutely no one waiting inside, and between 7:15 and 7:30pm not a single person was let in. At 7:30pm we were sent away, and flat out lied to that NJ doesn’t allow recreational sales after 8pm. This place is an absolute crap show, completely disorganized with rude employees and zero care for their customers. I will never spend a penny in this place, and after seeing all the google reviews, they shouldn’t be allowed to keep their license.

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

Do not go here if you have anxiety. The security out front is abusive, cruel, petty and utterly disrespectful. I’m sure the weed is fine but not worth the mental duress. NOT WORTH IT. AVOID THIS PLACE.

Great quality medicine , not so great wait times & customer service. Their “online ordering” is a joke. You get queued up with the same line as the walk-ins, behind them. So what’s the point of picking curbside if I still have to sit in my car for an hour waiting for my medicine to be brought out?!

used to be a decent place to go but now quality is bad and attitude of employees even worse. this location is literally the worst of the worst. crappy service, crappy product and attitude. bad combination for a company trying to retain business. the crouds are now gone as this place sucks!

Never been inside since when I became a mmj patient it was already shut down and everything was curb side. It's an ok sign in and ordering system. Not the absolute worst but it can be a pain in the ass when you need to re up medication and there's no "appointments" next day because EBT members stock up and grab a whole ounce of shake for their cough syrup recipes. Which btw should be the only you buy here because the prices are outrageous and the strains havent changed in about two years. They offer a vets discount at 10% which I greatly appreciate but they never have handicap parking bc their employees take them for themselves, which I have witnessed on several occasions. The Super Lemon Haze and GMO cookies were always favorites.

Uneducated as HELL, disrespectful, manipulative, sometimes unfathomably pathetic people. Know nothing but how to take money and make their patients feel like shit each visit. Great job on that. I feel 20x better buying from the street or on my old meds. My ptsd is too screwed up for weed to help after visiting gardenstate, since any decent worker no longer works there. Certain bud is very very good, (NH, SLH, AS,GT,GMO,ICC,BW,BG, etc) but overall it is not worth the time, money or bullshit. Especially if you use this for ptsd. Breakwater is how a dispensary should be, but the bud is overgrown cbg crap that doesnt touch depression or ptsd.

I came here for the first time and I was very impressed with the service and quality here. The people here are very friendly and do an excellent job taking care of customers. They're currently still observing Covid restrictions, so you can't go in,. but you can place your order online and they provide excellent curbside pickup. My only wish is that they would offer a greater variety of flower. Still, they provide a better selection than other NJ dispensaries I've seen. I definitely recommend them based on my very good first experience here.

No offense to the budtenders. You are just doing what you are told. Anyone who has basic knowledge on cannabis, do not take a budtenders’s advice on what to try. Do your own research. It’s a job to most of them and also a great one, if you are a person who needs easy access to medication. They are not going to recommend what they want, especially if it’s low on stock. I know not all budtenders are patients, but the ones that aren’t, are waiting for that recreational to kick in, so they have easy access and better discounts for being an employee. I am not calling them dumb, maybe smart but a bit selfish when it comes to offering advice. The budtenders that would probably do best are those who aren’t able to work in the industry due to a record.

Pre Covid entering the building was always cool. Staff was super friendly and the waiting room was large and clean. Recently they’ve adapted to Covid restrictions and have been able to provide a safe way for car side pick up. Debit cards excepted for easy transactions.

Great products, but not a lot of variety due to inability to meet demand. Carts are not that great, there's a reason they're 50 bucks, for that much I suppose it's an alright deal- I'd just wish they'd make a Sativa cart, not from Curaleaf, one of their own Sativas like Golden Goat, Wet Dream, Jack Flash, East Coast Sour Diesel. When my one cart shocked me and leaked all over they replaced it in full at the very least, so I'm satisfied with that outcome. They need to step up their game if they want any chance of meeting the quality of carts from other dispensaries, as well as being able to maintain their own strains and not just Curaleaf filler products when they dont have any THC flower in stock, which happens a few times a week roughly now.

I have been coming to GSD since I started in the NJ mmj program, well over a year now. And have always been happy with the flower, and recently purchased a Bubblegum cartridge ( this was a favored strain for me when they carried it in flower ) and have been very happy with it so far. Flavorful and potent. The staff has also always been helpful with their recommendations and advice. In the past they have had a lot of issues with keeping flower in stock. But after ugrading their growrooms to a two tier system, they seem to have been able to keep a consistent inventory of different strains.

Garden state has nice strains but barely any available every time i want to pickup. Since Covid & even before then they only have 1 or no strains on deck. New Jersey dispos as a whole are really slacking with the service of keeping up with their strains: they really need to do better because Cali dispos makes jersey look like a joke!

Can’t go inside.

I placed a online order. Which I thought when I arrived to pick up my order that there would be some sort of a system in place for online ordering customer’s vs customers waiting. Unfortunately that was not the case I had to wait over and hour and a half to pick up my online order which was insane. I thought that’s what the whole process of online ordering was for. The prices are way to high they need to scale them down as individuals on disability or low income it’s difficult to afford those prices.

i just got my script 3 months ago and i have been to GSD in union once and woodbridge 3 times. Bothe places had what i wanted and it took no more than ten minutes to get my goods and be on my way. The only thing i would like to see is tinctures added to the menu. The lozenges are very good though. Other than that a flawless.

First-- make an appointment since this place can get busy. Second, if you have all your paperwork, you shouldn't have a problem. Third-- don't expect to get a tour or go in & see flowers. That ain't happening. This is the most helpful dispensary I've been to in NJ and they have a lot of appointments available. If you need to see a pharmacist, make an appointment. If you're restocking your supply, don't just drop in because appointments get first dibs. The cost? Nowhere near what I thought it would be. I was expecting between $120-$140 per 1/4 ounce. It was half that. Plus they had some sales today & I wound up spending a fraction of what I did for medication in NY. (I was a NY patient when I lived there). Overall, for an ounce, it cost me $340, with tax. The place is professional, clean, friendly, and the aromas of the grow-room (on the other side of the dispensary) perfume everything. They have lots of gear too, so if you're in need of accoutrement, they have a good selection. The only downside if you think of it as a downside-- and this is for anyone in NJ-- there isn't much at all in terms of processed products. If you're not intending on smoking, then you're on your own. But, I'm an herbalist so I have a stack of recipes to try and I'm excited to have some measure of control over my medicine. If you're going to make your own edibles, try getting their shake. It's not the shake you may be familiar with. GSD's shake is pure trim off premium bud. No stem. No garbage. Ground flower and very sticky, so it's full of the good stuff. If you're on a budget, shake will cost a good deal less than flower.

Another great experience @ the GSD in Woodbridge. A knowledgeable staff & excellent service. Only complaint is the supply & demand of certain strains. Seems limited @ times, epecially Indica's. However the new process of being able to order on line prior to p/u reserves your order for 48 hours. Just need to check the menu on line daily.
