Central Ave Compassionate Care (Medical Only)

This problem may be more due to regulation and capitalism than specifically to CACC, but there is little recourse. They sold me distinctly sub-grade product, but in fact I believe the blame actually belongs to the regulators. The problem is twofold, short weights and bad quality. Today I purchased 1/2 OZ of Mont Blanc bud, grown and packaged by Central Harvest, and it is poop?! Not only did it weigh in at only 10g, for what was supposed to be 14g, but it was dry as a bone (which may explain why it was so light, but if so, that is also a clear measure of how overly dry it was)! It is supposed to be cured, and to retain some moisture. When I ground a few buds, just a little, it was reduced to DUST! The problem is, apparently, there is no way to inspect the product before buying it, and once bought (and especially opened, which is necessary to inspect it), it cannot be returned! What else cannot be returned if it is faulty? I had better service on the black market! Short weights and bad quality are unacceptable! And continuing to sell short weights, once they know they are short (and this review should serve notice), should be CRIMINAL. In fact, I think it IS criminal. This has to improve, othewise I’ll have to start complaining to the Commission, and growing my own.

Great dispensary, great staff. Recently acquired a med card and felt anxious but when I walked inside it was very comfortable! Staff is professional, very welcoming, and we’re amazingly helpful (they’re also pretty funny). Most of the products I have recieved have been great quality, only had one issue—bud was a little extra dry when I got it. It should be noted that it only happened once and I am a frequent patient.

This was the most smelling cannabis shop ever. It smelled like everyone smoked cannabis 24/7 in that shop and office. The cashier dressed pretty badly and unprofessional. Prices were elevated.

Wheres the concentrates

This has been by far my favorite dispensary I’ve visited since getting my card. I’ve been going fairly frequently for a couple months now, and the staff is so friendly, welcoming, and helpful. They provide great recommendations if you aren’t sure what to get for a specific issue, or if you’re a first timer like I was. There are nice discounts & promotions for new patients and for holidays. I’ve been quite satisfied with everything I have bought from them, and is definitely my favorite medical dispensary in the area.

My favorite dispensary

I had an issue with a product so I called and they said to bring it in and we will evaluate it and let you know. So I brought it with me to the store. They immediately remembered my issue they listened to my story checked the package and made me an offer that I couldn't refuse. They were great they totally listened to my problem and solved it fast and easy.That is great customer service 😀

I enjoy coming here because you're in and out. Sometimes less than a minute. Which is huge for me. Also love the $200 off card for newbies and renewers. Staff is over the top friendly. In my experience, I enjoy the edibles they've carried. Not a huge fan of inhouse edibles. But the outsourced stuff is great. Flower is a hit or miss. Like most places for most people. That wedding cake is fireee. Very powerful. The strawberry crunch bar edible is fire. Had me laughing my ass off. The rythm carts are fire. Awesome for stealth medicating. I've spent a lot finding what I like. So hopefully this helps you.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. I always enjoy the little chats with everyone when I visit. Great selection, great atmosphere.

They are very nice here. It's a nice, chill little shop. The order ahead service through Leafly is painless, and they reworked the shop for covid so it's as safe as possible.

I have very mixed feelings about Central Ave. They have a very welcoming atmosphere and staff, but their selection is less impressive once you've been to other dispensaries. I primarily use concentrates and was impressed by their selection, all of which is brought in from other dispensaries. Unfortunately, I soon realized everything they sell is marked-up around 20%. I don't expect them to charge the same price as the "manufacturer", but paying $48 instead of $35 for half a gram of rosin is just ridiculous and underhanded. This might be ethically defensible for recreational users, but this is my medicine, not my weekend buzz. In all, I would consider Central Ave to be a good starting point for locals, but one that is quickly outgrown once you figure what you like.

Hello I am so pleased every time I go to this place I feel like I’m at home safe and sound. I am disabled with an intellectual disability and they take really good care of me . They deserve number one medical dispensary in the world award. I couldn’t ask for another place better than this one . What great staff they have they really sincere on their work and take pride . So what’s stopping you come down to Central Avenue compassion care and see what it’s all about and Enjoy the wonderful experience. I highly recommend this medical dispensary.

The clerks are awsome always nice always ready to answer any question

So many complaints in the reviews about the prices. Get over it. its weed you can legally purchase that is tested in a lab. A little more goes into this product than what you bought from your local weedman in high school. With that being said I dont mind the prices and it helps that you are part of the voucher program. They also offer a points rewards program to help offset costs. They carry some of the best products in the area. Between Patriot, Cultivate, Temescal and other dispo's in this area Central Ave is my GoTo dispo. They also carry some Rythm brand products such as the famous BROWNIE SCOUT which is my personal favorite strain. The atmosphere of Central Ave is what mainly keeps me coming back. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Always willing to help and to find out if they dont know. I cant say enough good things about this place :)

My go to medical location, always a great selection and helpful and friendly staff. I Highly recommend

I love Central Ave!

Professional and polite.

As always they greet me by name and get me in and out with online ordering. I love the reward points too. I saved up enough for $50 in points and have used $5 and $10 points multiple times when times are tough. I do miss the $10 prerolls though. On weeks where that is all I can scrape together they did the trick. You have won my loyalty for years now and hopefully years to come. April

great service, people very kind and professional. deffinelty recommend coming here for flower

Every visit is a lovely experience. I find myself wanting to stay just to converse with the charmingly polite employees. Even the doormen are knowledgeable and good people. In terms of services i myself get 30 percent off due to my financial hardships in life I.E. im poor. So far this is the only place that ive seen implement such an caring and considerate policy. Overall the quality of the marijuana products is supreme as well as the selection. Also they have vaporizers and pieces for sale. Plus cool specials and occasional visits from the companies whom make products sold throughout Massachusetts dispensary such as Sira (tm) naturals coming bu yesterday to introduce people to dabs whom havent had any experience yet as well as other cool lessons and so forth. This has been my go to dispensary for 2 and a half years now they've never let me down. As long as i have my medical card ill be going here. I don't say this much cause who am i to tell anyone anything... But you should go here too you won't regret it

This is my second time around for recertification for medical. This place, don't get me wrong, is great with great staff, but unfortunately I will only shop hear 4 times a year at very most. (*patient card refund program*) 4 visits with 50$ of 100$ purchase. Thats it!! They sell overpriced product specifically (concentrates ) that come from other dispensaries. There is NO deal when you bulk buy concentrate either. Untill I can either get better priced concentrate and or bulk pricing, 4 times a year will be it for me to visit this place.

Always a great experience. This is one of my favorite dispensary’s.

Everything was awesome. Staff was very knowledgeable and friendly

I am always greeted with a smile. The staff is professional and always available to give direction to the proper product for your needs. This is my one and only dispensary. Why go elsewhere when you have the best?
