Central Ave Compassionate Care (Medical Only)

I have visited Central Ave a handful of times and wanted it to be at least ok since it's the closest to my house. To put it simple they are progressively getting worse each visit. Though the wait time is very short (if any at all), the consistency of the product is very poor. There is long stretches of time when items (not specific to strains) will be sold out/out of stock, and there estimated back in stock times have been way out of reality. Once finally back in stock you never really know if you are actually getting the same thing as last time and from my experiences it is unlikely that you will. I have tried a few different flowers and took a liking to 2 specific strains (GSC and Dakini). Of course when I saw the strains were back in stock I stopped in to get more. The variation from batch to batch is baffling and I am hard pressed to believe they were actually the same at all. From color to flavor they were not even similar, and of course you can't see a sample or anything before you purchase it. I honestly can't comment on their knowledge of medicinal uses, as I have yet to speak to anyone about anything on the topic. I can however say that I don't suggest asking anyone if they will be adding any new deals or discounts as they will just tell you off. All in all I would suggest to spend the time waiting elsewhere as after visiting almost all the other dispensaries in MA Central Ave is certainly higher priced, and seems to be more of someone's hobby than an attempt at operating a successfully competitive business. To be honest, I would not recommend anyone else to go here, but will continue to stop in on the very rare occasion to see if they get any better and will update accordingly.

Excellent set up.

Sorry man but you charge too much..because you can...sad Reminds of old days of dealers from ny trying to charge wayyyyy to much because it's good So I got French King (excellent work rise) delivered and loved it But then I was depressed because I paid way too much over 4 hondo Poultry military discount.... the lowest Next time got the French King elsewhere for $300 and with excellent military discount it was $250 So up yours at $480! That's right, up urs No rewards at all for delivery to top it off Btw 20% military would help your karma

this was my first visit to this dispensary on sat 11/18/17 and it wasnt good i asked the lady for something potent on the menu so i order an eighth of kushberry it came in a medicine container the bud looked dry and old and wasnt sure if was exactly 3.5 grams i checked the label it was inspected on 7/17 in the summertime and packaged on 10/25/17 thats about 2 months old with a fresh pack in it to try and keep it fresh like really how u think that kind of bud would taste very poor and thats unacceptable like i am a paying medical customer like everyone else that walks thru that door or any dispensary for that matter its the principle first impressions are everything and for this reason i would really suggest to avoid this dispensary at all costs if they sell u garbage for bud once then it would surely happen again again plain and simple its not right if they give refunds i would surely get 1 for the horrible old bud they sold me

SO DISAPPOINTED. I am a 40 year old newbie with severe depression and anxiety. First time and have no clue what I am looking at on the menu. And I keep reading that the employees in the dispensary are extremely knowledgeable. I went in and i immediately felt rushed because there were only 2 people working and around 10 people waiting for their orders to be taken. Long story short, I left with blueberry 1:1 terp. That night after 2 puffs, was one of the worst nights of my life. Total panic in my head, feeling of falling backwards for 2 HOURS, face was on fire and felt like it my face was peeling off. Took a shower with my pants on. So basically I spent $75 on something I will never touch again and I’m on disability so I can’t afford anything else right nw. I called them today and they basically said “sorry can’t help you” So unless you are already knowledgeable, I wouldn’t suggest going there for your first time

exceptional service, high quality atmosphere and really dank buds

This place is great! Everyone is super nice, good products too

This was my first experience purchasing medical marijuana and it was a dream. I was welcomed, sat down, and handed a menu. A bud tender worked with me through the menu to select the best products for treatment. I’ve been relaxed and not overwhelmed by the effects. Currently smoking blue dream(flower) lemon drop (pod era vape) and I picked up some 1;1 ratio caramels. All have been extremely high quality and the flower is manicured to perfection. I’ll be back for sure.

they price gouge their flower... no other dispensary in the area does this. Prices too high.

I use this dispensary ALL the time! This is the BEST place to go for medicine out of all of the places I’ve been. The staff is super caring and knowledgeable and the product is the BEST out there in my opinion. If you are looking for a dispensary that can really offer individualized care, this is the place for you!!! BEST DISPENSARY AROUND!!!!

Over priced.

I’ve been to this dispensary a couple times now. The amount of product seems to grow every time. Huge selection. Great quality on all the flower and edibles I’ve tried. Friendly staff and easy to get in and out quick.

Easy to find, just behind the Post Office. Employees are very knowledgeable. Been several times in the past 3 weeks.

very freindly and helpful ! free parking good selection.

Ok prices. Great people that work there. Very Informative. Great rotating menu. I am a person who needs to medicate literally 24/7 I love this dispensary and everyone who works there. They are always so helpful and seriously when people say they treat you like family. I have raved to everyone I know who uses this wonderful medication that Central ave Compationate Care is the place to go.

Nice location, not over crowded. The dispensary has a great feel to it. Like the lobby to a fancy spa or coffee shop. I chose 2 strains and both were effective when i got to try at home. Price is about the same as other dispensary, meaning a bit higher than the gifting method. I will return to try some shatter.

This is my regular shop. As the attitudes and customs surrounding cannabis shift in our culture, Compassionate Care hits the scene swinging with the most comprehensive and caring staff I've ever encountered. Their product and service is unparalleled. They understand the needs and wants of their patients and meet every request with integrity. I beg you, if you're looking to experience a different world cannabis and the revolution it can have on your life, stop by and see my friends at CACCI.

My favorite place ❤️ love the staff & changes are great improvements! I’d like to see more pre-rolls, more variety on those & bring back the travel packs 😉 of course love the captains cake!!!

Living in town makes this an awesome location to get high quality cannabis, concentrates, tinctures, and whatever else you can find. I have yet to meet a grumpy employee yet. They are very knowledgeable and are super willing to stay with you until you have all the answers you need.

Run of the mill, nothing extraordinary here. Same products as any other place and the prices are not competitive at all. The vibe inside is weird too. The awkward waiting/standing around is lame. I saw one lady freak out bc it was her first time and she didn’t know what the protocol was and no one told her. And PLEASE stop announcing out loud what my order is so everybody in the room can hear it. Some of us value our privacy.

The shatter is complete garbage. I even brought some back complaining that it tasted moldy and didn’t get me high. The man told me I would receive a discount the next time I came in. Why couldn’t I just receive the discount then??? Of course the next time I went back I did not receive any discount just more inferior product. And the same guy helped me both times! I fell like people who love this place haven’t tried other dispensaries. Seriously try any other dispensary in the state, you will be shocked at how much compassionate care blows.

Whatever

I don’t like that you have to buy a whole ounce to get the same price other places charge for an ounce of different strains but the quality is beyond compare which is why it’s my go to dispensary

Central ave Compassionate Care is an awesome dispensary! They have a great variety of product and knowledgeable and friendly staff. They also have a first time patients deal that makes the cost of getting a medical card worth it! 5 stars all around!
