From P-StarMD I recently I purchased Hash Rosin,( solventless concentrate or dab ) for $45 a gram, Rick Simpson oil ( a highly medicinal and potent full spectrum oil for ingestion) for $34 a gram, and recieved 20% off the order for placing it online through Leafly. Considering hash rosin normally goes for 70 to $100 plus per gram and $34 is the lowest I've seen for RSO in a while one can see that I received awesome quality for as fair a price as one could expect shopping retail, a great price even. So 5 star quality and 5 star service from the staff always which offsets the fact that the location is very small and to go with the flow you should make selections relatively fast and then go enjoy. Not really time to mull about. Probably why they encourage the online orders. Getting in an out doesn't bother me a bit but I thought I'd give it only 3 stars on atmosphere just as a caution for loungers or those with claustrophobia. I apologize for not remembering the name of the young man that helped me on the last purchase, shout out to him and the staff!

I only buy Graham cartridges here because they have the day where it's by two and you get one for a penny and it's $20 for a gram cartridge 25 out the door after tax so for $50 and one penny you get 3 gram cartridges and they have a day time anytime and night time so you can get all three and it's usually a sativa a hybrid and an indica the brand has always been clear star and they have a very wide selection and good product matching up to it's description

This is the best dispensary. They turn a ton of product. I don’t know if it’s really the best, because it’s so good I don’t go anywhere else. I usually dab, and they have lots of concentrates. So many that the menu is often changing. it’s a good problem to have inaccuracies in the menu, whatever might be out of stock and they bring some others that have yet to make it to the menu. I’m usually quite satisfied. Crazy good shatter infused joints for 12. My favorite spot by far.

One of SFs best dispensaries. Staff is very knowledgeable, but if shopping during busy times it’s best to know what you want. Unparalleled everyday and weekly deals, products to suit every budget.

I tell people about this location. They ask where I get my cartridges, I tell them they are twenty dollars for the house blend purple star. They are quite effective. I understand if you have to do the first time patient thing and skip around, but if you find your roots, trust me, this is the place. I get off at 24th bart and its a skip away. They occasionally throw freebies my way (that doesn't mean you need to expect it. Be friendly, above all don't be a dick--these people treat you right). Today I picked up four house cartridges, all sativas, and an oasis cartridge. They threw me a gram of blue dream shatter as well as some unlabeled stuff in a vial that is truly omni-potent :P Smiles all around and honestly I never have to wait to be helped in the store unlike some places that have you wait in single-file. I think more people may do delivery but this is a super intimate and courteous location.

Where I am from we have some killer dispensaries, 6 all within 20 miles and three states. I KNOW a good dispensary when I walk into one. We also have a shitload of Cannabis farms and I worked at one so I know and grow good Cannabis. We're here for a few days so we went on a tour. The first dispensary was a hassle, had to carry a basket and they didn't have the strain, Purple Erkle, and offered no replacement strain for the same price. As soon as we walked there Purple Star MD, I knew we found MY connection in SF! To be fair they didn't have the strain that I chose off the menu but they did have other strains of the same price point and they were BOGO so I got a way better deal, prices up here are stupidly high though,than the other shop could offer. Took a couple bong hits of the Mend Hash Plant and it definitely did the job. Knocked my spouse the fuck out😂. I recommend and will return.

This has to be the best dispensaries I have ever been to, both in Cali and Colorado. Not only will you have a difficult time finding better quality, but the service cannot be beat. No matter how busy it is, you always are treated like you are the only customer there. They take their time with you to make sure you get exactly what you want, and if there happens to be an issue with what you purchased, they will make sure to fix the problem. I one got some shatter that turned out to be a little unstable, and the next time I cam in, they not only gave me a discount, but a free cartridge. It is very obvious they care about their customers satisfaction.

(Taken from my Yelp.) They have a large selection of concentrates and good looking bud, what's not to love? There's a nice relaxed vibe throughout the store, the staff are really friendly and helpful but not in your face constantly which I like. I got some great recommendations to help deal with anxiety and hunger loss and the tenders were spot on, very knowledgeable which is a huge benefit for patients. Individually, the wax is a little overpriced overall but they have fantastic deals (BOGO, etc) and some cheaper varieties available. I constantly dab and $89 here should get me through the month. Great quality too, everything works and tastes amazing! (Whatever that free kief was made me giddy as hell, I want more of the stuff next time.) Nice sized variety of bud available, they have White Widow in so I won't be going anywhere else any time soon. I found my new regular dispensery! Thank you for an amazing service, Purple Star MD. 5* Update: Did another run here, concentrates galore but I picked up some Blue Dreams and Master Kush bud. I'm skeptical of $50+ 1/8 because I can get the same quality for $35 normally but here, it's worth every penny! Top notch stuff across the board.

Best spot in SF. Truly a space full of healers. Always ready to do whatever they can to help customers. Assist in choosing the most appropriate medicine for each individual and offer many awesome discounts. They give a goody bag to each first visit! Super rad!! Came with a free pre-roll, grinder, lighter, and papers!! I love these guys so much. Truly the best spot in town. Highly recommend the spot to all! A place of love and healing!!!!!

I've lived in San Francisco for 17 years, and this is where I prefer to get my cannabis. Quality of the product is top notch. Most useful and friendly budtenders I've yet found in the city.

Purple Star carries Xternal Mud!!! It is a cannabinoid based mud mask. I rub it on my achy arthritic bones and joints and I get instant cooling pain relief that lasts. It was recommended to me by Mara Gordon, founder of Aunt Zelda's..... and I recommended it to everyone I come across!! Especially to my friends who are in their 70's 80's and 90's. I frequently take my senior citizen friends to the Mission to get their first ever medical cards and then walk them straight over to Purple Star. What a nice companionate staff they have!! My friends leave with an education and all the products they need to improve the quality of their lives. Purple Star offers a wide range of buds, edibles, topicals and even cannabinoid infused bath salts. I find that the prices are lower than the other dispensaries in the neighborhood. * pardon the typos as I'm a bit medicated ;0)”

On your website it clearly says, " Everyday 20% off Medical Patient, Veterans and Seniors 55+". When I went in to purchase Raw Garden yesterday I was told that I couldn't get the 20% off, even though I'm a senior of 64 years. The woman was brusk and said I needed to return on Wednesday. She was very unclear about how much the out-the-door price would be. Disappointed senior here.

Nestled conveniently amidst some of the finest taquerias around, Purple Star is my absolute go-to for the city. I haven't bothered to shop anywhere else since I found this place. The service is impeccable - super friendly staff will match your taste (however refined) to a product quickly, and you won't regret taking their advice if you aren't sure exactly what you're looking for. They really know they're stuff, but if as long as I'm the one being asked... The Platinum Jack Herer is must-try for those interested in an energetic, giddy, and creative high ideal for those days in which you just can't shy away from the tasks at hand, but still need a pick-me-up to get through it all. Their two-grams-for-one deal on the wax is strange. I wonder how they keep in business, with a steal like that on the forefront of their menu. Any wax lover will find this place as wonderful in economy as it is in selection. Although they only have crumble, the list runs wide. If you're ever in the Mission, this little hole-in-the-wall is unbeatable. Check it out.

The staff seems very frustrated and rude. I asked one of the female “bud tenders” if she knew when they would be getting any other verities of shatter in. She was quick to respond “ I don’t know man, I just work here” and she muttered away to help another guest with less questions. Unfortunately not my first rude experience at this location. Use to be one of my favorite places to come for the wide selection of shatters but recently the staff is on one. Cheer up Purple star maybe the staff needs to get “medicated” themselves before the stressful shift.

There's a reason Purple Star has such great ratings. Their service is fantastic, strains are very nice quality, and a wide selection of edibles and other great products. Everyone at Purple Star makes you feel welcome and makes sure you're taken care of immediately. The budtenders are very helpful and knowledgable too. First time patients are hooked up with a lot of goodies so definitely make sure to check Purple Star out if you're in the Bay Area! They also deliver too, which is beyond cool.

Awesome place. Very clean and professional looking shop. Absolutely love the customer service here. All the employees behind the counter are always ready to assist you in picking just the right strain from their extensive selection of medicine. Each time I walk in, i'm greeted by the check in table area. Little touches like this make for a superb customer experience. When you're ready, one of the staff members will come to you and answer any question you have about your specific needs. once you've selected what you want, they even give you a smell of the jar. I've been to this location a bunch of times and have never had any issue. Not to mention they even deliver! There is a reason this place is the best location in San Francisco.

I just wanted to write a quick review to say thanks. I'm a complete n00b and asked a bunch of dumb questions when I visited. They answered all of my questions and were super nice doing it. I don't live near the location but will visit again the next time I'm down in the Mission.
