I've been coming to canna for years now, and I can honestly say the drive from Clackamas is 100% worth it. They understand my disabilities but also my needs as well. I am a big rso buyer along with edibles, flower, drinks, and tinctures. The staff is amazing; the manager is down to earth, and the overall vibe is comfortable. I don't review things often, so hopefully, that says something.

I only have one *tiiiiny* gripe - it's too small! oh, and it's too far from my house. Otherwise, an A+, fantastic experience.
Nea helped me out. She is so genuine, kind, and easy to talk to. Probably my favorite budtender of all time. She took the time to make sure I got exactly what I was looking for, and took the time to shoot the breeze as well. I respect that.
The selection is basically, insanely perfect - like poster-child nuggets - at competitive prices. No BS, just quality all across the board. A great balance of classic strains and "novelty" strains too.
I got an eighth of Golden Ticket and an eighth of OG Pie Face. Both were just phenomenal.

This is by far my new favorite dispensary. The flower is incredibly well priced for the quality. I've never bought anything I wasn't pleased with. The employees are very helpful if you need help, and are awesome at sensing when you need a moment to look. They give great advice and never upsell.
On one embarrassing occasion I paid for a gram of flower and walked out having been given change but no flower. As embarrassed as I was to check over such a small quantity, I called the next day and they verified what had happened and said I could come in to pick it up. No interrogation - just kindness.
When I showed up to pick up the missed flower they had stuffed 2.5 grams into the container. They could have assumed I was some sketchy dude pulling one over on them, but instead they helped me out during a really tight week.
Aside from the remarkable heroism displayed during that ordeal they've just been consistently awesome to work with. They are always friendly and the place is always super clean. These are the kind of people to buy cannabis from.

Finally found a dispensary that has a selection of high quality CBD flower. Just about everywhere else I've gone there's one, maybe two options and I always felt like I was just settling on what I could get. So jazzed when I saw so many strains from East Fork Cultivars- I came home with medicine today that is everything I've been needing, and paid less than I'd expected. Budtenders were super friendly and helpful. I will definitely be coming back. Thanks friends!

If $6.25 is your lowest price point for flower you guys will not remain competitive, especially without offering any discounts.
In the past this place offered a Hawthorne discount that was extended to people in the neighborhood, not just those working on Hawthorne. I live just minutes away and have been going to this store for over 2 years. Almost that whole time I was offered the Hawthorne discount. On my last visit I was told the discount it no longer available (Unless I work on Hawthorne). I am now going to a dispensary that is slightly further away, but their lowest price point for flower is $3, then $4.20 then $6. All less than this place and without a discount on top.
The employees here are amazing and I wish I could keep going here, but I can't justify paying almost $5 more an eighth.
Best of luck,
Former customer

This is the closest dispensary to me but also my favorite in Portland. The service is top notch. Out of probably 20 visits I have only encountered one doucher and I did not see him again after that so my guess is that they sent him packing. I regularly see very good prices on the weed. They have a little less selection than others, but who cares? The weed is high quality. I had only one gram purchase that wasn't great, but that was solely due to a shit load of stems and one so-so one out of about 40 gram purchases is not bad!

This is my local/regular joint. Heh. Anyhow, the quality of bud is always top notch, which is not always the case at other dispensaries. Plus, the staff is always very friendly. I only hope they can someday turn the upper floor into a canna lounge.

Well if you have been reading reviews, you may notice this as my second, mostly because the first 1 that I send didn't quite cover how great this Lil hole in the wall up Hawthorne(maybe a block east of new seasons hawthorne.
OK first off, I have now (since oct. 1st) been in and out and very inquisitive w/ staff, of around ten dispensaries.
*****Portland canna connection*****
Gets me on an extremely long commute, as I have tried so many locations now, pretty much all in a closer vacinity, but I will take that extra half hour to get my flowers from Ptld.canna.conn.
These guys have the flowers that I want, and their main grower(s) do it a lot like I did, maybe that why I like em so much.... the other thing that stands out like a sore thumb w/ their flowers, are that they grow so many of my fav. Strains that I have grown in the past, a lot of TGA subcool. They"re my jam. Try them yourself (I'm sure they would be more than glad to point out which ones are subcool. i.e. "Jesus og", "agent orange" N.w. fav "Cynex", which I'm not sure if they have in stock now, is produced w/ subs' vortex × Cindy '99(Cindy a strain that subcool utilizes in breeding.
They have some good old flavors and terpins that I'm used to from back in growing days, where i ordered/tried single seeds and usually finding a killer mama every few months, and tried +/- 10 to 12 different plants every few months.. quite unorthodox, I know, but I've always enjoyed Horticulture, and have ever an ever changing palate
Portland canna connection seems to be on the same page as I was when I grew, and consumed lots more. Now my 3 main objectives w/ great flowers are simple. An 3)an ever changing menu from the hands of a skilled grower 2) and 1) are tough to decide upon, but probably terpines/long lasting flavor.
So many of these other shops are, cheesy lobby i.d. followed by I'd at register, and even when shop is dead they are I'm a rush, become rude very quickly. take themselves a bit too seriously, and that's enuff to drive me out the door I'm spending a lot of money, treat me like a human, pick my flowers etc. Like P.c.c has done for me. The last thing I'll say is that they seem to have some1 who knows their growin/trimmin/perfect amt of curing, so u get that max. Taste/smell/ and perfect dry, that's probably my biggest pet-peave of all these other joints using lg plastic ridiculous oversized containers. And they take the contain tanner you wanna look at, and shake it really hard. Oversized containers create over dry grassy smelling bud. Not at Portland canna conn.

Great store with amazing workers who really care about customers. They also have a good selection, especially for a smaller store.

Great quality flower. Everyone was super nice and welcoming, and made sure I got all the discounts I could get.

This is the closest dispensary to me but I would have no problems making the trek further if this place wasn't so awesome. The employees are always courteous and helpful, it's very low key, not touristy, good prices, and quick service. Not a huge selection of flower but it rotates often.

My first time and I will definitely be back. Knowledgeable budtenders who seemed to be I interested in finding me what I needed and good prices. Definitely not spending money on the atmosphere, but it wasn't gross or seedy. Just chill.

I've shopped here multiple times and the quality and service just can't be beat! Great selection and very friendly, helpful staff.

The staff is usually made up of young kids who aren't friendly or helpful in general, the vibe has never been for me

I've been here a bunch of times sometimes with our dogs, or friends from out of town. Everyone that works here is super friendly and knowledgeable. Stuff comes and goes pretty quickly, so if the cartridges or edibles you want aren't in stock just hit them up again.
Definitely suggest the CBD or THC taffys they have. My wife loves the CBD taffys and we generally keep a few on hand.

Indica. Nice!👍🏼😌

Quality, Service, Atmosphere, Knowledgeable and Compassionate people!!! The Canna Connection conveniently located on SE Hawthorne....I have been to at least 15 Clubs in Portland. They are 1 of my 2 Favorites.....4-sure! I'm a OMMP Patient, Caregiver and Grower....I have had HIV for over 18 years and I also have chronic pain.....Degenerative Disc, Spinal Stenosis, Phybromyalgia. oh yeah and Arthritis...I went there for the first time in 2010....Since then they have made the experience more private and they actually make eye contact and do basic consults to get the best meds based on my needs that day... I'm very picky and they are awesome.....

What can I say about the Portland Canna Connection that hasn't already been said? Rose City Fire? Yep; they got it all. From super fire flowers to excellent concentrates & edibles, tinctures, topicals, the selection and vibe of this dispensary is top notch! The employees are passionately serious about what they do and absolutely establish more than just an over-the-counter relationship with their patients. I can't wait to see what's next and new when I stop in because they are constantly upgrading some element of the experience and service they provide the medical community. Thanks for being some of Portland's friendliest dispensary staff!

I don't come here for price, because there are better deals to be had out there, but I do come here if I want quality. Always have a good high THC/CBD strain.

Excellent service! They're always friendly (even if you're "older") and helpful and we've been going there since 2011. They were fantastic about taking care of a rare problem cartridge. The vibe is easy-going - not nearly so "business" oriented like a lot of places.
