I'm an avid patient @ HTC, very knowledgeable and make you feel at home. Very good concentrate selection and good herbs and clones.

I've gone to Harborside many times and I've always found them to be helpful and supportive. I have severe neurological issues due to an action which have drastically affected my physical condition. I've gone there for high CBD products and the staff has always directed me to the most effective cannabis to deal with my issue. Thank you Harborside!

A little pricy but would go back in a pinch.

I came in going through a pretty bad panic attack and really, really wanted and NEEDED an emergency Indica pre-roll or three to get me through the long, monotonous ride back to LA.
First, I was forced to endure a, "tour," of the rectangular, clearly marked, "Health Center." When I say, "forced," I literally mean the tour 'guide' snatched my rec out of my hands and said, "If you don't take the tour, you don't get any medicine." WTFamI. a 6 year-old child? THEN, I finally make it to the. "Nurse?," who insisted a CLEARLY typed, black and white labeled pre-roll that said, "SATIVA," was in fact an Indica, despite the GIANT, WHITE sticker that directly contradicted her in an EMBOLDENED, BLACK FONT (no less!) that indicates that the strain is most definitely not an, "Indica," but something that would make my heart explode and my eyeball go flying out of its socket.
Honestly, the place looks and feels like a prison. Me'thinks the goons everywhere don't help dispel the Alcatraz vibe you get, despite the blonde, hardwood floors, the stupid, stupid tour and the most pathetic looking flowers, not to mention the most indifferent people I have ever had the chance of meeting under the guise of, "Compassionate Care."
I left with an even worse panic attack and had to resort to dabbing at a rest stop like an animal.
NEVER, again, will I step within 20 miles of this place. Besides the fact it looks as if one of the goons is ready to throw you into the harbor if you look at him askew. This is supposed to be the premier facility in the US? HA! Then we are ALL in for a very rude awakening. Get your strains RELIABLY tested. Just get it together, already. What a excellent way to abuse an international spotlight. Great jobs guys! Stop making stupid brochures that nobody reads and pay attention to the patients walking through the door CLEARLY in distress.

Beautiful and friendly atmosphere. Very clean and well organized with a pretty simple but effective layout. The line can take a while so I would suggest pick up orders if you already know what you're interested in. If not, the budtenders are hella friendly and informative and will give you any information you need.

Best dispensary around the Bay Area, possibly in the world.

They are very secure, but don't make you feel put upon with the security. They are supportive & explain everything clearly. The initial visit takes some time, as with many places - getting registered & such, but after that it is quite quick to get in. They have many support services & opportunities for educating yourself. They also have a wide selection, so if all you want is to grab & go, then grab & go.
I really like them.

Best dispensary around the Bay Area. Yes there is a tour, but it actually shows you what more they have to offer, so no biggie to me. Feels extremely safe,clean and very professional. I hope it stays open forever.

I can't imagine a better possible experience - in fact, this could be one of the finest customer experiences I've had in any retail establishment in years. Friendly and educated staff, clean and organized location, tons of options, high quality, fully tested cannabis. Introductory walk-through with valuable info, and free health-conscious classes. This is what the medical cannabis experience should be.

Well-organized. Being able to order online or call-in and pick up is great. You can use your Debi card. ATM available, as well. Large selection of quality accessories.

Love this place. Great medicine, clean, professional spot. Service has always been excellent and the staff are probably some of the most patient people I've ever come across. Great selection of glass, too.
Edibles are the best in the area. The THCoffee was probably the greatest thing I've ever drank.
Only bad things I could say are that this place is pretty much always busy and packed. I've been there at opening before and still had to wait 15-20 minutes. Wouldn't recommend going if you're in a hurry.
Everyone should at least try this place. Super consistent, great products.
