Buds4U

Who closes on a Friday night in the summer at 7pm!?!

I bought a cartridge of what the bud tender recommended and she said it was on sale. I prefer Buddies or Select brand but figured I’d try the Jackpot brand cartridge. Bud tender told me to save my receipt for refund if cartridge didn’t work. I go home and read the unopened package which says it contains non-canabinoid terpines. I don’t like that so I go back 5 minutes later for refund with unopened vape package, tell her my issue and she says no refunds “until COVID is over.” So apparently I could’ve tried the vape, brought it back with COVID lip germs on it, claimed it was defective and get a refund but not if it’s in an UNOPENED package? WTF? Never going back... side note, my wife already refuses to shop there after she was treated shoddily and charged ONE HUNDRED dollars for TWO EIGHTHS of merely okay weed. Again, never going back.

I'm going to start with the many positives about Buds4U which I experienced, and then give my two cents on how to improve. First, the reception staff is by far the friendliest I've experienced. I first stopped at the smaller on shop on my way to Florence, and was greeted by a friendly gentleman behind the counter, and an equally friendly patient. He was running things solo, and with a line things took a little while. I would have stayed, though my family was awaiting my return to Florence. Alas, I stopped by the Florence shop, and was welcomed by a very peppy and friendly woman, who was in the process of assisting two additional patients. Not only was she quick to register patients, she held a very fluid conversation while we waited out turn in the lobby. Once we went to the medicine room, we entered a walkway which was lined with whiteboards indicating the items available, and some pricing. Then, you continue down the hall where the refrigerated items and flower are kept. First off, I've been a daily smoker for the past 11 years, and I've seen my share of flower. The three strains that intrigued me the most from the board - White Buffalo, Snoop's Dream, and Marley Kush - were some of the most magazine cover-worthy buds I've seen in years. Vibrant hairs and Goliath crystals on each of the three. In the past, when I would ask to see specific strains I was interested in, most dispensaries had at least one sub-par bud I'm disappointed in. Not at Buds4U. The gentleman budtender was very personable and willing to go into discussion about anything and everything. I was asking questions about their flower's lineage, whether their products were from local growers (they are), and most important to me, how to properly use RSO. I wound up walking away with some of the Bob Markey Kush and White Buffalo flowers, a Sweet Island Skunk PHO cartridge, and a gram of their cheapest RSO. So far, I've enjoyed a slight cerebral buzz from the PHO cartridge (it fits on any vape pen), some of the smoothest dabs of my life (my first time using RSO), and then I smoked a bowl of the White Buffalo. Holy s**t. This 19.9% THC flower is one of the most complex terepine combinations I've ever smoke. You feel it within two hits, and it's almost a spiritual/out of body type of high. I'm saying this as somebody who typically smokes at least an eighth of flower and a gram of BHO a night. It takes a bit to get me "feeling it." This took no time at all. I decided to take a break and write this review, because I have an odd combination of the relaxing body effects from the White Buffalo, and an intense head clarity from the RSO (67.4% THC, 5.1%CBN). I feel like I have the mental wherewithal to refresh my memory from AP Chemistry and begin conducting cannabis experiments. Anyway, the service and product are on point. You want "fire," you go here. That said, there are some areas for improvement. Both the Mapleton and Florence locations had what I would declare as sub-par waiting rooms. Mapleton was poorly lit. So poorly to the tune of me nearly impulse punching another waiting customer when he scared the piss out of me by simply asking me what was in the case I was gazing upon. Florence doesn't have that almost "musky" feel to it I experienced in Mapleton, but I felt it was rather flat. An adobe colored paint covers the walls which are decorated by a few for-sale shirts. It was more inviting than Mapleton, but it was oddly laid out and the lack of depth in the room was off. Lastly, the back room has an odd layout. Most dispensaries seem to display their flowers in a manner that catches your eye when you first walk in. At first, I nearly walked by the whiteboard item and pricing lists, and when I arrived in the medicine area, the flower was tucked away on shelves in a closet, and all that sits out is a small jar of a couple of grams of each strain. Granted, these are great to see and get a feel for the bud, but it's nice to see the jars containing the bud you'll take home with you to be more out in the open, perhaps with test results as well. All said and done, you'll spend more than I have at some other dispensaries In the past, but in return you'll receive some VERY high-quality products.

great prices, great product, great location, great staff. I love that it's so close I can walk right to it.

The staff is wonderful at this place. Always helpful, friendly and just generally enjoyable. They have a terrific selection and are very knowledgeable about their products. I have to dispute a previous review about the weight being short. This is NOT and has never been a problem for me and I'm a regular. Weight is always spot on. Some people are just never happy, no matter what, it seems. These guys are terrific! Highly recommend.

I have been to both locations, depending on who u get in the back determines if your weight is correct, they are shady by not allowing customers to see scale readout, some inside theiving and shorting going on in my opinion and yes they have bad waiting room lobbies, dirty and weird layouts, and seem understaffed with 2 people. But product is good but limited to the same strains. A plus?Hawaiian food truck next door to Florence shop is great!

I think the guy was annoyed I was there.

Kind and helpful. Comfortable and welcoming.

bad customer service takes rec patients first over medical and no first come first serve would not go back

Love this place! It's close to my house and convenient. They have a great selection and there's almost always something new each time I visit. Fast service and knowledgeable employees who help me pick the right strain every time.

They got wonderful flowers there.

There are so many dispensaries to choose from these days I find that its really the people who make the difference. What great people and what a great little shop! Their Kappo Kush (Bubba Kush x White OG) at 26% THC beats most White Widows for crystal coating. Plus they've got some real nice clones and edibles.

this place is amazing!! very impressed and will be definitely be coming back

Won't be back. Dirty shop, unpleasant staff. Joints packed to tight and can't get any kind of draw.

Great place ! When I go through Mapleton I stop in. They have awesome flowers.

I go to this dispensery quite often and I was very supportive in the beginning, hoping thing would improve overtime but it seems you guys are heading in the wrong direction. The leafly page is never accurate. You need a larger inventory of all products. You're missing a high CBD flower. That's something very important to all patients. You guys are pretty established now so it's time to start thinking about your patients instead of the profit.

Friendly and informed staff. Excellent Flowers and Medibles. Relaxing environment.

Pleasantly surprised. Very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff. It will be my dispensary from now on.

Great place. Great folks. Great meds. Monkey Balls and T-4 are must tries. Highly recommend stopping by and saying "Hi".

great service great meds will be back again

Idk what this last guy on here is talking about. The place is clean and has a good staff. Has the best meds around. I think he's bent cause they don't take from vendors. Everything is grown by the owners

Love these guys. Always have a couple different shatters . Super nice people

Everyone needs to stop and see these guys they are friendly and got good meds!!!!!

It was so nice to see a place outside of Eugene, I was on my way back to Eugene towing my buggy and didn't think we would make it back to Eugene by 7pm to my usual spot. My wife had to use the bathroom and we had just pulled into Mapleton and she giggles hey there's Buds4U!!! It's a neat shop lots of glass out front and in the back the bud tender was quite helpful and I got what I was going to get in Eugene right here in Mapleton keep up the great work I'll be back for sure.
