Chalice Farms Recreational Weed Dispensary - Powell

I signed up to Leafly specifically to leave this review. I make the trip from Central Oregon to the city called Portland for medical reasons every six months. It's brutal enough to leave the serenity that is Central Oregon to visit the havoc that is Portland. My visit to Chalice Farms Powell was definitely not the "high" point of this semi-annual trek. After reading reviews I thought this would be the place to visit, so I dropped in on my way back over the mountain. Nice building, great parking, ADA access, nice chat with the very pleasant person at the front desk. Beautifully crafted fixtures and displays...really very nice. The two guys working the counter were chatty and informative. My problem: the employee "assigned" to help me. What a smug, condescending, unpleasant person. Knowledge about a product is great...until it is used to try to prove that you are superior to someone else. Your attempt at this was all for your own head. If you had gotten over yourself and treated me with respect I would have spent a lot more than I did. In retrospect, I should have not spent anything. A little tip for you: your extensive "knowledge" about product needs to be broadened a bit. Just because you have never heard of a certain packaging method does not mean it is inferior. Do some homework. Visit a dispensary that is not in your locale. Things are different elsewhere. I'll try another place when I am next in Portland.

I created an account on Leafly because I wanted to write a review about this shop. The dispensary I normally go to was closed, and this spot was still open and close to my house. The people working were very nice and friendly, but they didn't seem to know much about strains. Things I liked about Chalice; -Beautiful setting -Good music playing -Receptionist was really sweet. -Bud tenders were SO NICE! -Good lighting Things I didn't like about Chalice: The flowers I purchased were already weighed out into eighths and in a container that I couldn't see into, therefor I didn't really know what I was getting. -OVERPRICED -Almost all the strains on their menu were sold-out. -They were out of stock on all the cartridges I wanted. This shop has potential. I hope they fix their inventory and pricing issues.

Met Brent and his partner. Very friendly, caring people. Love my flower(Mango Kush). Fantastic smell/flavor, helps my rheumatoid arthritis. Will be back to check out concentrates.

Not a bad little spot if you live near by..However sent my homegirl in to try something from Chalice farms and their weed was filled with MOLD..Cannabis Cup Winners my ass..the ONLY reason they won is because they bribed the judges with coke

I was absolutely blown away by the meds, professionalism and sheer knowledge at Powell House. It is evident these fellas really did their homework concerning all aspects of our recently legitimized mmj market. This is how a medical dispensary should be. Rock on Powell House - see you on Saturday for your official opening!

do not shop here it's the worst customer service I ever seen in my life this place needs to get shut down

visited with my stoner brother and stoner nephew from out of state who were kids in a candy store. we were well attended to and all questions were answered. we sniffed and looked at the bud before purchasing. I should have gotten another eighth of royale with cheese. great shit! You guys rock!

I have also found Mold on Chalice's weed. All growers have to do is send in a gram out of a batch of pounds to be tested, so you can see how a place like this gets around a truthful testing. The flower has mite poop and mold....The icing on the cake is the rudeness and prices. Stay far away from this overpriced non-medication

wish I could of received 10% off for leaving a review like the airport location.

I'm a new cardholder, so this was my first visit to a dispensary period. It's so nice inside, and their selection and quality of meds is awesome. Plus it's really close to where I live. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They answered all my questions.

Upscale and on track. They've got the goods, and hey, it's all about the bud, isn't it?

I've visited once with their new store. It is a nice place, seems out of place on Powell. It reminds me of the lobby of an orthodontist's office complete with the disinterested receptionist. It is one of those set-ups where they have a budtender come out and give you "the tour". Hey it's not my first time at the rodeo, I just wanted some weed and an edible. I think that this experience is fine for someone wanting to impress someone with them or either a newbie, but for others it is kind of silly. I similarly don't require a concierge at the package store to go over the finer points of Monpolowa -vs- Grey Goose either. When I want cheap vodka I go with Mono, otherwise Goose. Also the prices are understandably a bit high as they have their new building.

It is always so refreshing to walk into a business where the owners and employees display passion and devotion to excellence in their trade. When you walk into Powell House Cannabis club it is apparent that these guys have the passion. Talking to them you realize that they are cannabis geeks of the best variety. From the friendly, knowledgeable service to the impressive amount of perfectly cured delicious flowers, many of which are done in house, these guys have all the marks of a great dispensary. There was not one jar of one single strain that I did not want to crawl into and rejoice in its deliciousness; all of them seemingly dusted by fairy dust. I always have plenty of medication so I only buy flower when I want something special and this will be the place I come next time that happens. The shop has a great feel to it , that semi-medical office look with the loving twist of cannabis culture. In regards to their concentrate selection, they did not have too much to choose from. The BHO smelled great and was pretty standard at $25/gr donations. The one shatter that they did have was a great value, $15 and was comprised of 8 different strains (not a bad thing). They also had this grape ape caviar, nuggets marinated in kief that was pretty groovy. They said they will be getting some more shatters and other concentrates in soon so I will be back to check it out, if it is anything like their flower selection The two guys who were in there took the time to talk with me about everything. It is imperative to make the patient feel welcome and at home and a huge part of that is not making us feel rushed. They have only been open two weeks but I think these guys are here to stay, something reinforced as they pointed to their state dispensary license on the wall, one of the first issued. If the cannabis industry is going to truly be accepted by the mainstream, corners cannot be cut. These guys do everything by the books and I applaud them for it. Thank you for providing safe access to patients.

This place has absolute fire..... every single strain on the shelf is high grade meds. Amazing thing to see in person. The shop is done up like a super high end spa, very cool atmosphere, a must see for ommp patients.....

Great spot for edibles. Little pricey on their flower.

I was very disappointed with my visit to Powell House, so much so I was pushed to finally get an account. For an industry that's trying to become legitimized, you'd think there'd be more of a professional attitude (not the typical stuffy office type... But employees not on their phones and inappropriately joking when customers are around, shouldn't be much to ask). Personal caring warmth and interest/knowledge of product, in addition to a somewhat professional attitude, is what makes people feel comfortable, welcomed and cared for... That's what I look for when seeking to medicate... but I felt uncomfortable, like I was a burden, and that I was just another sale. The manager and budtender were both very unprofessional and short, and though the product was decent, it was more expensive than lots of other locations. They're a business... And that's all they proved to care about....Themselves, their business, and their numbers. With the selection out there and what's available I find no reason to ever go back. apologies unnecessary. maybe just treat customers a bit better and offer them genuine, caring service so they can find decent product that really can help? Thanks.

good people good meds fair donations. definitely coming back

Amazing medication!! Definitely worth the trip. A small pleasant shop; very clean and organized. Mango kush, blueberry kush, and some ATF; all top notch. Caked in crystals, stinky sticky tasy stuff. Can't wait till my next visit.

I loved the overall atmosphere of the entire place. the service was excellent and the employees were very kind. I will definitely be coming back

I struggle with the prepack stores. I just can't tell how long its been packaged even if it was great bud to start with. The staff are very nice, but price point is on the higher side for sure

5 stars. The guy who works there gave me the best customer service I have ever received at a dispensary. He knew the product inside and out and was very nice. They have A+ flower at competitive prices and some most excellent BHO and edibles. Parking is super easy right outside the front door. Nice professional, but not uptight, atmosphere. There is also a small head shop next door that sells handmade blown glass pipes by Oregon atrists -

I have major back pain and arthritis and the staff was very knowledgeable as to which strains for my specific problems. The meds are high quality and it was a plus that the female budtender was good looking.

The staff is always lovely and I've never felt like an idiot, in spite of really having no idea most of the time what I'm looking at. I apologize for not recognizing your names to thank you specifically!

I've had my green card for a couple years through several states AZ, CA, & now OR. Oregon was supposed to be the promised land for exceptional medicine, but most compassion clubs primarily stock grassy weed that is improperly cured. In a state known for great cannabis, I have been disappointed and I find it unacceptable to charge us top-shelf prices on mediocre flowers. I grow a premium organic garden myself, and there is no excuse not to have perfect flowers every time :-/ Then yesterday morning, I wander in on Powell, and it was like a breath of fresh air! Apparently the ownership is all brand new as of May 2014. The staff is knowledgable, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, almost more like a doctors office. The selection was massive, the flowers were very sugary across the board! The employees know better than to let people stick their hand into the medicine jar. I personally smoke well-over an ounce every week, and the four quarters I picked up were all stellar! Harlequin with high CBDs is sweet tasting and highly medicinal, I like mixing it with the Purple God Bud I got. According to them, it tested close to 30% THC, on three different testings! I dig the combo ;-) I also picked up some beautiful Black Cherry Soda a batch of Jack Herer that tastes perfect... I can't wait to pick up some more from them soon <3
