Today's Herbal Choice - Rainier

Long Story Short: I bought a bong from Today’s Herbal Choice in Rainier, Oregon. The “Made in China” label was hidden under the price tag, and it turned out to be defective—it leaks from the bottom. When I brought this to their attention, their only offer was a discount toward another bong, meaning I’d have to risk another $100+ on a product that might also be low quality. I wasted $120 on a leaky bong, and they made it clear they don’t stand behind their glassware. Avoid buying glassware here. It’s not worth the gamble. Their “help” came in the form of a coupon to buy more glassware—no refunds, no real accountability. Just another chance to lose money. And if you get stuck with a faulty piece too, please speak up. They claim to rarely get complaints, but I think that’s because their policies stop most people from even trying. Here’s the Full Story: On March 5, 2025, I bought a bong from Today’s Herbal Choice in Rainier. I’d been a regular customer for over 18 months, and after searching a long time for the right piece, I was excited to finally find one I liked—even paid full price rather than wait for their usual glassware discount day. When I got home, I noticed the “Made in China” sticker had been covered by the $120 price tag. That was a red flag. A few days later, I spotted a puddle under the bong. At first, I assumed it was user error since it was larger than I was used to. But after some thorough testing, I confirmed it was leaking from the base—gross bong water seeping out shortly after filling it. I didn’t rush back to the store immediately—between working 60-hour weeks and dealing with car trouble, life got in the way. But that shouldn’t disqualify me from receiving fair treatment. On March 24, I called the shop. I was quickly told “glass sales are final,” a policy that likely deters most customers from pushing further. I asked to speak with a manager and was told to come in the next day. When I explained everything in person, the manager reiterated the "final sale" policy but offered me a discount on another glass piece. I asked if store credit could be used on other products—like THC or accessories—but was told it was only valid toward more glassware. I even floated the idea of a partial refund just to cover the $15 food-grade silicone I might need to attempt a repair myself. The manager said they “shouldn’t be offering anything at all,” making it feel like I was wrong for even bringing the issue up. Here’s the bigger issue: They mix questionable, low-quality glass in with the good stuff and leave it up to customers to gamble. There are no clear labels or signs to distinguish between brands, countries of origin, or quality tiers. If they really carried only high-quality bongs, they’d have a vendor to back them up when issues like mine come up—but clearly, that’s not the case. The manager claimed they don’t get many complaints, but that’s likely because of their front-line response: “glass sales are final.” That shuts people down before they even have a chance to be heard. After my visit, I called several Portland-area dispensaries. All of them said they would’ve either swapped the bong or found a better solution. Unfortunately, Today’s Herbal Choice wouldn’t consider that. They only offered a “generous” 40% discount—but keep in mind, they already do 20% off glass once a week, so it’s really not that generous. Bottom line: I paid $120 for a defective bong. Their solution? Pay more and roll the dice again on another one, with zero guarantee. I expected more from a business I’ve supported for over a year and a half. Final Thought: This could have been a small issue with a small fix. Instead, I’m left with a useless piece of glass, no confidence in their quality, and the sense that loyalty counts for nothing. I’ll be taking my business elsewhere. I recommend you do the same—especially if you’re shopping for glassware.

I started shopping here about 3 years ago but have been a regular, (daily) Marijuana flower user. I live in Longview, Wa. Initially I only shopped for the higher level bud @ about $6-10 a gram. Buying on the sale day for flower gets me an instant 30% off the price, and then I am able to stack an additional 10% Veteran discount on top of that for a total of 40%! The best deals to be found as I learned late, are the Green Leaf specials and sometimes the 1/4 for $.25. Oftentimes I can get a fresh harvest date, great strains and strong THC %. I have never bought any dabbing concentrate or cart’s so I can’t say anything to those but I’ve heard they’re as good. The only time I go to any other dispensary is i

I love this place -- the people, the products, and the vibe. I'm an old vet and me and wife come here every few weeks to check out their flower specials, primarily. The space itself is big, wide-open, clean and chill, like being in big barn. The people are chill and knowledgeable and are happy to help, engaged, etc. I don't understand why there would be even one complaint -- this is a fantastic weed shop with a killer vibe and great folks. What more do you need?

I’ve been here a few times; the store itself and employees are nice. My issue is with the outdoor mids they’re selling for $14/g. Same exact stuff can be purchased ten min down the road at sweet relief for less than $6/g. Every once in awhile they’ll have some decent looking indoor flower, but I have yet to buy any weed that burned properly. Most has been overly dry and harsh on the throat. At the prices they’re charging I expect to see quality clean organic herb, but this store seems more concerned with profit than quality. Considering most farms - even the high grade indoor guys - are barely getting $4/g for their top shelf flower, I think this store could afford to buy better weed from better growers and still be plenty profitable. Whoever does the buying needs to reevaluate who they do business with because there’s too many stores with better quality at lower prices.

I like everything about this dispensary. The quality of the product, knowledgable and friendly service and a clean and open atmosphere. I have been to many different dispensaries in the past and this one is the only one I have used for the last few years because no other dispensary comes close. The quality and prices can't be beat. I have sent many other people there and they have never disappointed any of them. I'm always thanked for the referal. So, in my opinion, if you want a great cannabis purchasing experience do yourself a favor and check these guys out.

Had the best experience with Chuck today, he is such a shining and kind hearted soul! Chuck needs a raise!

Love the new place definitely gonna be my new spot to go.

Great stuff

The people that work there are very friendly and helpful

Love the people who work here and their products and prices. If you are not shopping here you are missing out. Check out their online menu it even gives you THC percentages most online menus do not. My husband and I are senior citizens and have been smoking for over 45 years. A lot of pot shops treat us like we are old dumb asses that don’t have a clue about weed and try and bs us about their product. Here we are treated with respect .This is an honest pot shop with plenty of bud tenders so even on a busy weekend you get helped right away. ☮️💙😁

I have gone to this shop 3 times and have always gotten my product at the price on Leafly...I went in today and they all of a sudden tell me the menu prices are for medical only!!! It wasn't that way the other 3 times...I had the prices written down and they charged me 20% tax onto of the menu price...I love the fact that they have awesome product but I feel a little frustrated that this time prices are different...I dont know what happened, but that plain just bites!!!

The employees are very informative and very helpful.. Each time the employees have been very friendly and kind.. I highly recommend this place... We live in Washington and drive to Oregon just for them!!💗💗💗

They run specials for discounts only on schwag. Everything else they gouge for taxes.

This is the hidden gem in the local area!!!!! Great Friendly people along with prices you can't believe. 40 for a OZ🔥🔥🔥

These guys are amazing. Really friendly, super dank bud, Terpy wax, and the tastiest options of edibles. You wanna buy some clones? these guys got you covered. It feels like its not only a dispensary but also a headshop with the fact they have so much glass,vape batteries,pipes,nails, and other accessories for all your smoking needs.

I'm up in Longview often visiting family and never know this location was here. I'm mostly in Portland, but it's nice to know that when I'm up this way... I can still visit my favorite friend dispensary![
