Harvest HOC - Tempe (Med/Rec)

Thank you Harvest of Tempe, after trying around 175 strains I thought all hope was lost on finding that one strain that's "mine" or takes care of my polar opposite medical issues (fatigue, insomnia) but thanks to Mad Terp Labs Kryptonite shatter I have found relief from the most painful condition I've ever been thru. Psuedoaneurysms. Imagine someone stabbing repeatedly (with the beat of your heart) in the center of your brain. It's a pulsatile pain. And it just hits you without any warning & there's nothing that helps it but time. And I'd gladly give birth naturally to quadruplets than go thru another one. Thank you for carrying this strain. I'm so grateful. It's the ONLY thing that provides some relief. I've tried strong prescription pain killers, heat on the area, ice on the area, trying to stay hydrated, and trying to massage it doesn't provide any relief. But kryptonite does.

Harvest surprised me w/ some of the finest flower I’ve had! Love TheFuture!!! Excellent prices for bulk (one of the only places I’ll buy an oz), great sales, specials, people, products... I LOVE the changes they’ve made! This is a dispensary that places patients over profit, it feels. In my mind, that makes all the difference! I am a very happy customer of 3 years now! I always leave with a smile.

This is the nightmare of all med shops, and this is the perfect example of what happens when corporations take over industries. The prices go up, the quality goes down, customer service goes away and if you don’t like it, tough luck. I’m a (would have been) first time customer, despite everyone that I know with a card warning me not to use this particular company, they call it “the Walmart of weed stores” they advertised my favorite strain for sleep, so it seemed worth the dice roll. Friends warned me that their inventory doesn’t match what the websites say, so I called ahead to make sure, and they verified that the strain I wanted is in stock. I knew my drive was going to be close to an hour one way (the 10 East is closed all weekend for construction, making it twice the length as normal) I arrive, fill out paperwork, and stand in a line that was more of a free for all. What is the point of letting so many patients go to the back while others still haven’t checked out? Especially when there’s only 2 budtenders, and the one I had had limited knowledge of product at best. And like I was told by my friends, drum roll please.....they didn’t have my strain. The strain they verified having an hour before. Then of course comes the salt in the wound, they try upselling me on another strain, and at double the quantity (and double the price) of what I came in for. They weren’t even knowledgeable enough to try veering me to a similar strain that gives similar results, and this wasn’t just one employee who lacked this basic cannabis knowledge. Also, everything that I saw here was prepackaged, meaning you can’t see or smell what you’re getting before you buy, the shop layout is terrible, very unorganized. The jars the left contain older medicine because there was very little, if any aroma. At least switch them out once in a while! The gal at the counter didn’t know which strains did what. I came for a specific sleep med (heavy indica) and their 50-50 hybrids, especially at much lower THC levels aren’t going to give the patient the desired result. The employees either don’t know cannabis or they don’t care, and were just trying to get another sale. Almost 2 hours in the car and 20 minutes in the shop only to arrive back home without medicine. Zero stars is too generous. At least one of their employees apologized to me, which is more that what other reviewers are saying about their nightmare experiences with this place. My friends were right, these new corporate shops are the worst, avoid Curaleaf too, and this one felt like the Disneyland of green pharmacies, and this is not a compliment in any way.

I've been in several Harvest dispensaries, and in every case I had done an online preorder. I would say that 4 out of 5 times on average the order was not ready when I arrived 2 to 4 hours later. In many cases this meant that I didn't get the deals on the products I wanted, and when they're out of something there often isn't anything of like quality and cost available. On my last visit the was a BOGO sale on several brands of flower. I ordered two Modern Flower half ozs, and two RollOne half ozs. When I arrived 3 hours after I placed my order it still hadn't been pulled yet. The guy in the pickup window was having to pull everyone's orders apparently, because the guy before me took forever trying to figure out what he wanted since they didn't have what he ordered. This defeats the purpose of having a fast pickup window. When I got home I found out that they gave me the 4 strains that I ordered, but they gave me a lower quality RollOne half oz of one of the strains. Not only was this product only a 15% THC, instead of the 22.5% of the Modern Flower I ordered, but it screwed up the BOGO deal. When I return today they traded out the wrong product, but the new batch today is only 19% instead of the 22.5%. I did get a free preroll out of the deal, but it's still aggravating to have to waste time and gas like this. I'm now done with Harvest because of these problems, and because they sponsore an LGBTQ grooming group called OneNTen. This is something I can not overlook. Keep your hands and your mental illness away from our children!
