Quality: The bud was all sub-par, other than a few strains on their "top-shelf", which are mids compared to my usual shop down the street. Considering the location, I can see how the average person hanging out on that corner would be cool with the low-cost low-quality offerings. I have pretty high standards.
Service: Lady at the front was nice. Once I was in the budroom I inquired about the highest quality bud in the store and was told "I don't smoke flower" by the budtender. This was followed by some awkward silence while I browsed the oil selection until a female budtender from behind the counter (that obviously overheard that interaction) took over and began showing me her favorites. She was nice though and saved it from being a mess.
Atmosphere: Not a bad shop inside really, just a really bad location. A lot of shady people on that block.

Hi,
I'm a regular customer of your shop at 102nd & Burnside. Everybody knows me by my name including the ppl who don't work there anymore as in Tyler & his crew. I bought a Co2 cartridge from your guys store and it didn't worked. I went to your store told them what happened..even took my vape pen which was fully charged just as a proof. This girl who works for your store tried telling me every kind of bs that how they are shitty and made in China (my work takes me all around the world and that includes china as well and as a matter of fact I speak mandarin as well...cuz I go to guangzhou so many times) Anyhoo...to top it over she started fixing the cartridge with the corner of business card and a pin ( which by the way I walked outside your store to check since she asked me to check if it works). She might be used to doing this tweaking crap, I don't ever ...ever have to do or wait for this kind of crap. I don't need to cuz I just buy brand new stuff. Besides her way of talking just seemed to me that she's just fit for certain kind of clientale and not everybody. Considering what kind of business it is, I don't blame her but you don't measure everybody with same scale. I don't speak very much about the 'expertise' your ppl try to show me...all I'm gonna say is you name a country and chances are I've smoked in one if the major cities there. My passport looks like a bible. I'm a lil frustrated and annoyed not because they didn't compensated me with another cartridge but more by the fact that I'm probably one of your few permanent customer who treats your employees with respect and have a different kind of outlook than the ghetto or trashy crowd. I might be judging but that comes along the frustration that after I come back from my office, I want to sit down in my air conditioned house and smoke few puffs and relax. I understand that losing one customer is not going to make big difference to you but than the kind of money clientale like me gives you, you would have to entertain 5-10 customers and that too who will be very shitty crowd. Just saying. It was an aweful experience and I wanted you to know. A good business (be it of any kind) is where you would like to keep your valued clientale keep coming back. To me..I can throw money anywhere.
Thanks

I have been to this dispensary probably a handful of times or so now. And only because of the location, there is always something that turns me off of this place everytime to go. This time though it was the simple fact that the tender didn't even give me my change back. Here I'll start from the beginning, I went in there to spend a good $100+ and it took a bit to get checked in but the lady at the front desk was probably the most helpful person there. And the only person to make the experience worth while, yes just getting in there. Then as i approached the actual counter no hi or anything. No offers of help, or suggestions which made me just want to get out of there as soon as possible. I wouldn't have known there two sides had different product if i hadn't looked. when I finally selected something with no help what's so ever just someone silently starting at me, which was actually quite annoying (I decided it was not worth it to give this business more than ten bucks and twenty minutes of my time, if they can't hire helpful tenders.) For some reason she tells me that's a good choice as a select a random flower just so I can get out of there's fast as possibly. oh okay, I didn't even know you had a voice much less an opinion... but thanks. She says "that will be nine dollars love". Takes my ten hands me my weed no bag no change and proceeds to skips off to go converse with the other tender as I stand there in shock holding another dollar I was going to combine with the change for her tip. Making it even more awkward for me to ask for my dollar back so I just shoved the other one in the jar and said guess you can combine that with your tip... not sure if at the end of the night they just pocket the extra till money but this has happened before. It was about three bucks last time and I did ask for it back but still I will not be recommending this place to anyone. No one should have to ask for their own change back even if it's 50 cents. I find that extremely poor customer service and just bad business. Front desk lady with the I think it was a pug on your shirt, three stars!!!! Just for you, you are amazing. But I have never been more uncomfortable in a despencary In my life.

I went in to buy a cartridge, which was reasonably priced, for Oregon, but within a week the cartridge started leaking to the point of not working. After switching batteries, I went in and they told me that I could I my use their batteries on their cartridges (Select brand, so you know that's BS). I went back when there was a manager, and was treated like I was a dirtbag because I wanted them to replace the cartridge that broke. After over an hour, and countless humiliating remarks from the budtenders, and the weird stares from the customers, I was finally given a second cartridge in exchange. They gave me a battery, which is a plus on service, however the cartridge also did the same thing within a week. I decided not to repeat the last performance, as it was already humiliating enough. Save your money, time, and effort, and go to Vancouver. It's half the price, twice the selection, and you actually get good customer service and knowlegable reps.

One of the worst dispensarys I've been to. I've been to quite a few and as a medical patient I was treated rudely, I was buying a little bit more then a recreational customer can and I was treated like it was a huge hassle most but tenders are happy to be at their job maybe this 1 just needs an attitude adjustment of smoking a bowl. Don't think I could ever recommend to anyone else.

This is my weed spot. Great prices, great selection of extracts - and they have their own house brand. Always a great movie projected on the wall.

Been there a couple times and the customer service was bad each time. Unfriendly and not helpful.

DEFINITELY NOT THE PLACE TO GO FOR ANYTHING CARTRIDGE RELATED!! HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. LESSON LEARNED SO THOUGHT ID PREVENT ANYONE ELSE FROM HAVING TO DEAL WITH THAT KIND OF SERVICE! Couldn’t believe I hit my cartridge 3 times and it burnt out they told me to bring it back in and when I get their I was told because I didn’t use “their” battery they couldn’t do anything about it so basically wasted money but never again will I buy anything from there

I was charged rec. price and had to return to get the money back then once home I discovered the product didn't work and they kept my licenses. So back I go again to retrieve my licenses (my bad i forgot to make the extra effort to ask for my items back as they are all scurrying about...glad to see you are busy...how...no idea...location? and at least get a replacement. They don't have it and so can't refund me finally the manager came out after 20 minutes to refund me. no apologies for very poor service...drug test well I don't test my people but the policy is don't let anything interfere with business. I do not recommend this store as there are several other to choose from with better product, easier parking and far better service at a similar or even more fair price.

I went to OBM for my first visit and I left very pleased and referred several patients after my visit.
Service:
The employees were smiling, pleasant and knowledgeable, with the new patient check-in taking only a brief time.
Atmosphere:
The layout was bright and well-lit with the flower easily displayed and grouped by price. It did look a little sterile with the white theme and unused space but they are also new - it takes time to develop atmosphere.
(Note: 4 stars, not 5 because it's a little plain-looking inside in my opinion - something easily fixed.)
Quality:
I have to mention two MAJOR points: They use Boveda Humidipaks (We swear by them for our own curing) & they hermetically seal the product to vend. I think these are two features alone are well worth visiting them for.
We tried 4 strains on our first visit:
Northern Lights: This backbone of cannabis genetics showed its fame for this strain we received. Very nice mellow Indica high, smooth. In fact, I have little to say bad about this; we went back for more not two days later. Try it.
Earthquake OG: This was a special - $10 for 10g; normally I wouldn't review something so inexpensive, but it was reduced (From what I can tell) because it was trimmed poorly and it looks like it was left in the medium well after the clear/flush stage. Despite all these strikes against, once you broke the flower open its rich scent came through. It grinded nicely, not too dry, not too moist and some fluff. We smoked this one and while it had a tint of harshness, it was otherwise an excellent strain with great taste. All I can say is, if you see a special here, take them up on it as we were quite pleased with this one. We still have some left a week later as we're pacing it out!
Lavender: One of the first strains I grew 4 years ago, this Lavender had a rich skunky undertone that was not in my phenotype. It smoked smoothly and the higher CBD (~0.32%) paired well with its THC content. This was a great evening med making sleep come very easily that night. This was one of the $5/g daily specials and we should've grabbed more as they were out completely after we went back for more Northern Lights.
Please get me a clone of this!!
Purple Trainwreck:
This was the free 1½g special advertised for new patients. This was a decent, clear-headed medication, though we did pass most of it on to another patient who subsequently became a new patient 2 days later after trying it. That pretty much says it all :)
Summary:
Nice staff, great product -- it's a shame we're now growing our own and won't be visiting as often as we'd normally do. We will be back solely to try more and more strains from them. NOTE: We're customers up at their grow shop as well for our growing supplies -- and we're pleased with BOTH businesses.
DISCLAIMER: While we are a customer of their grow shop and growers, we'd like to state that we have not vended to them at this time and none of the products reviewed here were our own. This review was done by Brendan K Callahan, lead grower, RCGW Collective and should be considered my personal views.
Best of luck OBM, and welcome to Portland!
Dispensary response:
Wow! Thank you for taking the time to write that thorough review. :)
