The CDC

This place rocks! The waiting outside is not the worst thing ever, the people inside are AMAZING! These people regularly have some kind of great weed on SUPER sale, and the top-shelf selections are INCREDIBLE. Friendly? Seriously? I'm from California and they were even nice to ME!! LOL

super pushy about 12-14 dollar grams. even as a med patient super pricy; and it seemed they got some sort of commission for those sales. 2.5/5. bud ended up being dry and overpriced for 50 dollar quarter.

One of the bud tenders at CDC gave me really great advice on pain management. I have End Stage Renal Disease, diabetes, heart disease & arthritis in my spine. So, I wanted to share these thoughts and observations for anyone who could use good advice about cannabis generally. A special thanks to Ms. Peyton for all of her help to me! I use “Ms. Peyton” In this review. I will change it to whatever you like. Thank you! RE: Ms. Peyton of CDC Any of you who know me may remember from previous conversations, that I would very much like to hire Ms. Peyton, due both to her professionalism and her charm. Her eloquence is equally refreshing as she often has wonderful recommendations for cannabis that would meet both my recreational and medicinal needs. Because of her advice, my experience with cannabis as a pain management tool would have been impossible, without her. The arthritis in my spine thanks her for that, especially. I have known Ms. Peyton in a professional capacity, as a customer for over one year now. Despite her youth, she maintains a genuine professional decorum while still being a friendly & engaging salesperson, of such quality that I have not seen since my own childhood, (long before written history). While normally I am loathe to write letters of recommendation, or reviews of this type, any assistance that I could provide to her is time well spent. During my tenure as Executive Director of the American Medical Massage Association (AMMA), we took on a number of salespeople to help with the sale of books, videos and massage equipment in our for-profit department. I deeply regret not having known her then. Her ability to apply herself to sales & her strong product knowledge make her a great pleasure to do business with and a joy with whom to converse. If more businesses had salespeople like Ms. Peyton, there would be a lot more millionaires amongst us. Ms. Peyton volunteered excellent cannabis related suggestions a great deal of the time & was quick to offer solutions that had otherwise eluded me. I am healthier and in less pain now, thanks to Ms. Peyton, her vast product knowledge, customer service skills & matters cognate are truly praiseworthy. Ms. Peyton has a great general fund of knowledge. During the time she has been advising me about cannabis, she has conversed with me on such diverse topics as animal behavior, Norse mythology, history, photography, Art & why cats like humans. Nothing insubstantial, both the sale and the conversation keep me coming back to CDC, and I live next door to three much closer cannabis stores. In conclusion, Ms. Peyton’s professionalism has made my cannabis experience, especially as concerns pain management, a much better one. I have enjoyed learning from her and letting her heal my back! So, if you want GREAT CANNABIS experience from an expert, Ms. Peyton of CDC can give you that! I recommend that she be cloned so ALL cannabis shops can have at least one copy of her! Two if they are smart. Thank you. Now Go bring your money to Ms. Peyton and let her get you stoned. Or let her tell you HOW to get stoned. The most important thing for me is that she has re-awakened in me a sense of customer service long lost for decades in many American businesses. She is kind and knowledgeable. One could not ask for a better advisor or salesperson! Thank you.

The literal most helpful staff. They take care of their customers every single time! I cannot speak higher of them. If it's your first time in, ask for Isaac, Ty, or Schilly. Those guys are mega friendly and always have solid recommendations!

I loved this place. It was just down the road from my house, the staff was always friendly, the selection was good, and their prices were okay. Today, bought a cartridge on their recommendation, only to discover about an hour later that it was defective. I returned with my receipt to exchange the cartridge and was told that "because of Covid" they could not exchange or refund me. I have been told repeatedly at multiple dispensaries to keep my receipt in the event of getting a defective cartridge to exchange them. As recently as last week, a dispensary in N. Portland reminded me when I purchased one. There is no logical reason why Covid should prevent them from exchanging a defective product. Your inability to get your money back on it should not be passed to your customers. My household have been regular customers for the last two years, but that ends today. I suggest if you want to support a local dispensary in the Tigard area, you patronize Juan and his crew at the Magic Castle. They know how to take care of their customers. Clearly, whoever is making policy decisions at the CDC dispensary, does not.

Definitely better shops in the near area flower options are good but service is weird and unwanted feeling

J. Roller and the whole team at CDC are so friendly and helpful. My go to dispensary in Tigard!!!

I’m new to the west coast so I had no idea what I doing the first time. They were very helpful in explaining different strands and what means what. I tried others but didn’t really like the corporate feeling of one I went into. The CDC always has what I need, they’re very friendly, and I always feel welcomed when I go. They’re good people! I’m a loyal creature of habit, so that’s where I’ll always go unless something changes.

I have NEVER had a bad experience here. The products are amazing, the prices are awesome AND most importantly, the staff is incredible. You always feel like one of the homies. Seriously...either bring them snacks or leave a tip, they earn it!

Absolutely loved being helped by Isaac he was overly helpful not to mention knowledgeable about their product. Currently I'm herb shopping on a budget so I asked to look at multiple lower shelf strains asking tons of questions about the quality, the content and prices for multiple strains etc. Determined to ultimately get the best possible deal I could afford. Most places I've been to would consider me a real pain but Isaac was very patient and gave me quite a bit of one on one customer service attention so to speak even at a really busy time of the day for them. Isaac never showed any indication of frustration and didn't try to rush me at all and seemed genuinely happy to help me. Hands down showed me the greatest customer service I've ever experienced out of many many dispensaries here in PDX. Thanks again Isaac :)

Hands down the BEST dispensary in Portland. Budtenders are super attentive, helpful and friendly. They have a myriad of variety to fit every budget and daily deals. Flower, dabs and edibles are all on point. They have a little bit of everything for every customer. Best deals in Portland.

I love CDC’s employees. Everyone is so helpful and they take the time to make sure you get what you want. They never rush me and are knowledgeable in their products. I have gone there enough times that they remember what I like and know what new products to offer me.

is good if ya feeling green

Great service. The online ordering feature is a must for the anal retentive cannabis lover. My order was ready for me upon arrival to the store. Awesome edibles!

Amazing shop, amazing people, amazing prices and quality, deals are super nice. All around just fantastic.

great place. competitive prices. and Aren was super helpful not just trying to move me along but giving good advice on the product. 10/10 will be back

super awesome budtenders, I dont usually feel so comfortable in places, this place and the people that work it are extraordinary.

I went to CDC yesterday and Ty helped me out. Ty is the nicest dude and really listens to your needs. If your on a budget, he gets it. If you just want indica cause Sativa isn’t your thing, he gets it. I really like how I always feel welcome and the indica is on point. Thank you guys for the great vibes!

My favorite dispensary, went in the other day and Aren was my bud tender, always very respectful and knowledgeable about the product. Always has killer deals on oz.

It is fully enjoyable each time I go there? They all know most the inventory and can be of some service if you just tell them what you're looking for. It's always offering sweet deals and have good prices overall.

Great budtenders, best dispensary in this part of Portland.

I hadn't visited in almost two years, ever since I started growing Mephisto Genetics autoflowers, but my friend had a cash windfall and we were up for some variety so we two old hippies stopped by and asked a young hippie to recommend their current best flower. Got a split ounce, half of Jack Herer with a nice flowery nose and crazy high tested thc % and half of Slurricane, of Dosidos legacy which presents as white fuzzy trich on trich super dense nugs. Both great strains which will satisfy even a craft home grower used to the dankest of the dank sticky icky. Thank you for the excellent recommendations. Peace!

Always a pleasure when I visit this store. Everyone is helpful and extremely friendly.

I love this store! They always have great deals, awesome quality, and everyone who works there is super friendly.
