Green Earth Collective - Highland Park

Excellent service! Excellent selection! It was our first visit last night and we were lucky to meet Zilla who was super cool and friendly and spent a great deal of time welcoming us and giving us a crash course on everything. Zilla is also a naturally hilarious guy and I’d love to just stop by again and hang out with him if nothing else! Would definitely recommend this place!:)

I’ve gone here for years, loved it since it opened and was smaller. The new interior is indeed beautiful, but was very disappointed to discover they raised their prices as a result. I went here to get deals & quality, simple process, and I will sadly be shopping elsewhere simply based on costs. There are shops nearby that are far less expensive for same products. Hoping this changes and would return here if so!

Super not fun parking.

Security guy thinks he’s tough shit or something- think he was dropped on the head because he has major anger issues. They didn’t want to honor their first time visit discount, saying it was my “second time” - which would’ve then warranted a 15% discount for my second visit.

New Showroom is Open! Absolutely beautiful. Tons of new products too.

Down to earth peeps

Going inside was my first dispensary experience as I’m from Arizona and not a registered holder. From the very first foot in the door, we were helped instantly and courteously. The dynamic and energy of the security and employees was welcoming and reassuring. I was helped by Steven who was a lot of fun to learn about all the different strains from! Even though I only ended up getting some pre-rolls this time around, I’ll definitely make it a point to stop here when I’m visiting because of the experience I got to enjoy my first time!

Great people that work there make you feel welcomed. Awesome flowers. Great deals.

Super cool neighborhood, staff very chill knowledgeable about the product, got the strains I wanted. I’m definitely going back

The experience was overall delightful! The staff is super friendly and know what they are talking about when recommending a strain. Definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Professional and helpful staff

Great bud tenders and staff. Lots of items to choose from and great brands. Highly recommend GEC to anyone. Online orders are easy to do and easy pick up!

Everything’s great

small, doesn't seem inviting, only a couple customers at a time in the small budroom. waiting in line isn't fun, especially when a customer in the budroom is bullshitting with the budtender about his weekend. I get it, but just know others aren't waiting patiently. could be a little nicer, maybe. and yea, parking blows.

ordered from this place, got the notification that my order was being prepared and it went straight to “delivered” but they never showed up. got the “delivered” confirmation minutes before they closed. seems lame

I literally placed an order, was told I had a driver en route and then the driver just never came. And then they closer the store. Y’all are plain weird like idek what else to add.

⚠️ MEDICAL PATIENT REFUSED SERVICE FOR DISABILITY! INFLATED PRICES AND TERRIBLE SERVICE & STOCK. I visited Green Earth Company which I frequent a couple times a week. I have PTSD and wear a medic alert bracelet. Cannabis is medicinal for me. When I entered and immediately informed security - who I’ve met - I was having a PTSD flare-up due to loss in the LA Fires, I presented my medic alert bracelet explaining my communication impairment (similar to Turrets with elevated speech). Despite acknowledging my condition, staff refused to acknowledge my disability. Budtender Coda voluntarily filled my cart with items I didn’t ask for and didn’t want, including an edible I can’t eat and have never purchased. He gave me a total and ushered me to pay without letting me choose my own products. This confused me, as I hadn’t ordered anything. When I asked if I could select my items, another budtender stepped in, and I quickly chose two products so I could leave. At checkout, Coda told me three times that I could not shop there with a medical condition. I asked if they were denying me service due to a disability, he shrugged. The manager, who claims to be a nurse, repeatedly told me to “calm down” instead of offering support or compassion. A PTSD patient cannot calm down as the brain damage impairs the prefrontal cortex. She could have offered me a seat, water or any understanding, despite knowing me by name and the money I’ve spent there. Instead, she told me to shop elsewhere. And tbh, she’s always been rude. This dispensary, meant to serve medical patients, told me I cannot shop there because of my brain injury symptoms. No one was insulted or berated; the issue was my volume and delivery, which were impacted by my condition. Despite presenting my medic alert bracelet, I was judged, and discriminated against. I have proof of the incident and stand by my account. DO NOT SHOP HERE IF YOU HAVE A DISABILITY. THEY PRACTICE ABLEISM WHILE TAKING YOUR MONEY. The manager’s behavior of a comically long, intimidating stare down, could seriously harm someone with PTSD. They don’t need to understand neurology—just honor the medic alert. **Post Store Reply Edit:** The retailer falsely claims I insulted staff. I greeted security with a smile and laughter, gave a verbal medic alert, and showed my bracelet. My symptoms were explained as similar to Tourette’s. Security did not relay my medic alert, bracelet info symptom info provided at any time. Coda’s creating my own cart and presenting thr total unnecessarily complicated the transaction. I was confused when given a total without ordering anything. It REQUIRED ME TO COMMUNICATE FURTHER to figure out why I ordered nothing and was being rung up. Coda told me three times I couldn’t shop there with a medical condition. I was whispering to him at this time as he’s served me so often it was almost a plea for him to see this isn’t really me. My amygdala hijacked the real me. Contrary to the reply, this shop has no compassion WHEN IT IS REQUIRED. On my worst day, they prioritized profits over patients, denying me shopping and dignity, and disinviting me to ever return because of my “medical condition.” I am no perfect human snd do not claim to be. I did everything I could to offer alerts and be in and out. I could have been just a tough customer. But instead the confusion of being billed before shopping, being told to calm down repeatedly, being stared down… all poured gasoline on a fire I warned everyone was burning. When they say discrimination is about ignorance and intolerance, it’s really true. And I’d file this experience under 90% ignorant. And if that woman is truly a nurse, I hope her patients have visible ailments.

Inviting and friendly staff!

Very friendly and knowledgeable

DO NOT BUY FROM HERE. Horrible customer service and they do not even check identification for an order. I use to love this dispensary and rave about it to friends. There security guard is completely rude and kicked me out while I was trying to make an order? The bud tender then came out to give me my order without checking my identification POINTED A FINGER IN MY FACE telling me he’s going to make a note on my profile. I do not know what kind of business tries to scolds a PAYING customer for making an order. The inside of the storefront has no walls, wires showing and completely unorganized. I usually don’t care about what a dispensary looks like, but if you were wondering what you were driving to, here’s a heads up. There products are also not the best quality. You can LITERALLY see where they grow the weed in a small shed that is visible in the curbside pick-up area. God knows what or who’s in there. Also no parking and they have the entire corner blocked off so it makes it even harder to park. Be prepared to walk a couple blocks if you want to park and go inside. There are MANY other dispensaries that have great customer service and better products. You have been warned.

Awesome! very knowledgeable and helpful staff!

I am extremely disappointed with Green Earth Collective. I’ve repeatedly purchased their "Moonland" carts, among others, and encountered the same issues: clogged, not burning properly, and stopping towards the end. Despite their assurances, the replacements have the same problems. Shockingly, employees admitted that they sell old, expired carts from their inventory to make a profit. This practice not only fails to meet the Cannabis Control Bureau’s standards but also raises serious safety concerns. If they’re selling old carts just to make money, I fear they might also be neglecting product safety regarding chemicals and pesticides. Avoid this dispensary if you value quality and safety.

So I'd like to first preface this by saying I am a LOCAL and REGULAR customer at the G.E.C. for around 3+ years. I thank the G.E.C. staff for their kindness up to this point. I mean, the whole staff knows me, and we're all cool, except for my MOST RECENT EXPERIENCE. Front Desk? 10/5, they know their stuff inside and out, and know how to help you. Security? 10/5 If you actually take a moment to actually talk to them, they're actually really friendly people. There was a really cool African American security guard there who helped me with all the best joint selections before I got to the staff with my order. Great people. Actual cannabis front line associates? 10/5 VERY friendly, very helpful, and I take pride in dropping the associated (male or female) around $5-20 every time I visit for max 10 minutes of their time. I take pride in being a "golden goose" for their good service that they do. <3 ...So why the 1/5? The Machismo Manager (or acted like it in my most recent visit). Timed my visit during their low occupancy time to avoid the normally long lines, so I can get the premium service. Was being helped by a friendly female staff member. Was the only customer in there at that moment. The female associate helping me was very helpful and was planning to drop a sweet tip because I'm very well within my budget. Manager comes in, and makes an unnecessarily big deal about the phone, which I've NEVER had a problem with for the 3 years I've been there, and I made it BLATANTLY clear I'm just using it to pull up a specific product name to make the order experience faster. Nobody else was around to use as an example in the store. He was a straight up douche, and condescending to the other female associates there. And I have a question, an honest one, if phones are TRULY NOT ALLOWED UNDER ANY CONTEXT by that machismo manager: a) How are we supposed to cash out our Birthday Discounts? b). How about redeeming our points for bonus products? c) How about redeeming DISCOUNTS PROMOTED BY THE GEC ITSELF??? I am aware people take pictures to compare prices, but it was clear as day I had NO INTENTION OF DOING SO, and had a budget I planned to spend at the place. I was blown away by the rude nature, and almost just walked out. I can tell the associates can barely tolerate him, just by their looks, sadness in their eyes, and his rude nature. I had stepped out to get the document and get the names of the products, then RELUCTANTLY stepped back in. Then he tried to compensate by acting professional, while STILL stepping on the toes of their own staff, and denying the regular staff, WHO WAS PERFECTLY CAPABLE I should mention, to help me. He probably thought little of them, and was trying to make an example, but it all failed HORRIFICALLY. Broskie, you made the staff and the store and the staff look bad. Hella bad. The ordering was very awkward as seeing his POOR display of management of public display while trying my best to keep composed while seeing the sad team members on the sidelines aint helping anyone. They know they lost their tip from not being able to help me, and the experience the manager gave. This was a clear cut case where the manager stepping in made things WORSE!!! If this behavior is allowed at the G.E.C. of rudely treating their staff while they feel like shiet on the sidelines robbing their staff from a nice tip I was about to drop, hijacked customers from perfectly capable retail associates, and making terrible experiences for their CORE customers who built the place to be what it is to PUSH customers to take their money ELSEWHERE, I will have no affiliation with the G.E.C. after I cash out my surplus points. Not sorry. I stand up for the frontline workers RIGHTS, and they shouldn't be subjected to being thought of as LESS by the manager. If I was that lady, and I had just TWO similar experiences with a manager like that, I would've quit on the spot. And I was one who vouched for G.E.C. and brought them TONS OF BUSINESS!!! I'm posting this review on ALL the review sites to make sure his actions are known. I follow the old adage, "Take your money where its treated best." And with a hostile manager like that as other reviewers have stated, I'm planning on taking my money elsewhere after the surplus points cashout.

Definitely will NOT be shopping here again. It's really shady how the store contacted me after my order was sent through to say that I'll be charged an additional 10 dollars in taxes. The joints were rolled in the cheapest cone ever, and 2 of the joints were leaking resin bad enough to where I couldn't smoke them. Waste of money.
