Had a bad experience. The girl that checked me in was really nice. But when I went back to get my goods the dude was really short and rude. He seemed irritated with every question I had and did not give me the service I am used to when going to cannabis shops. I felt super rushed and did not feel welcomed at all. I would come back if he didn't work there anymore, I'm sure everyone else is much nicer.

Glad you enjoyed our newest offering. We've got to admit- Sorta Baked does not come close to describing it. Our doobie brother is too humble.

After visiting many local dispensaries, I've settled into visiting The CDC as my go to spot. All of the employees are friendly, and they truly love what they do. The bud tenders are very knowledgeable about the various strains they have in stock, and they've always made great recommendations whenever I can't make up my mind. Their selection is excellent, and every strain I've purchased has been excellent. The CDC offers generous discounts for seniors and birthdays, and they offer loyalty punch cards that, when filled, give you 50% off your next purchase! I was thrilled that they will happily sell split eighths. It's really great for when I want to try new strains without committing. Now, the negatives.... Very limited off street parking. I've always gotten a spot, but it could prove tricky at peak times. The prerolls I've purchased here just will not draw. Can't get a decent hit to save my life. I really appreciate that they offer an indica and a sativa, but I've stopped purchasing prerolls after several went up in smoke, leaving me buzzless... All in all, I would recommend the CDC to others who are looking for an excellent selection of high quality weedstuffs, in an unpretentious atmosphere. I know I'll keep coming back!!!

Every time I visit I get exceptional assistance! I'm glad I live close by to this specific dispensary. So far one of the best I've been to in Oregon!

I decided to give this place a second chance, and they actually stepped their game up. While the parking is still a big issue, the quality of their concentrates was decent. I didn't really look at the flower. Maybe next time. They had a lot of familiar products, and I liked that. The service was great. I could tell my budtender was working hard to be informative and helpful as best he could. The other budtender assisting my friend was also very friendly and funny (he had really curly hair and a cool hat). Atmosphere overall felt a little bit cramped. I felt like I was blocking the display when other people came in to browse. I'm glad I gave you guys a second chance. Cheers!

Their prices are fair, nothing too fancy and the budtender wasn't very helpful but the $30 for quality oil for patients is not bad! It has a low key atmosphere that reminds me of buying a sack from a homie which is really comfortable and pleasant.
Dispensary response:
Thank you for your review. We have a few new oils for you to check out and your first review on Leafly.com entitles you to 10% off your next purchase. Dab on!

CDC is where its at! Convenient location, kickass/ knowledgable staff! And they give you free candy :] Love this spot and will be back soon!
Dispensary response:
Thank you for your kind words. Keep in mind...the candy is the most dangerous item in the store. Best wishes.

The minute we walked out of this place, we looked at each other and said, "What a joke!" in unison. Lol. First dispensary I've ever been to and walked out empty handed when I came in very ready to buy. First of all, who is giving this place 4 or 5 stars?? I'm so sick of people writing good reviews because they get a free pre-roll or for a review and don't want to leave a bad one and have to actually look those people in the face when they return for their free stuff. As far as the establishment goes.....You walk in and immediately wonder if you're at a U-Haul/storage facility or a dispensary. When asked which one you're here for, you realize it's both. Not a deal breaker but my friend got a long funny look from one of the storage customers. The only good thing I can say is the front desk girl was really nice but was either really new or really high because it took forever to get checked in and she messed up a few times, by far the longest check in process ever and also a waste of paper. The bud selection here isn't good but the quality is even worse! The prices are the same as other places with way better flower. Their best bud samples barely had any crystals on them and smelled like hay. The older lady budtender kind of had an attitude, especially when she realized we weren't impressed by the flower they had that she was trying to talk up. Overall, a total waste of time. I definitely don't recommend this place. Save your time and go to the next closest dispensary. And please start leaving honest reviews guys! According to the ratings on here, pretty much every single dispensary in town has a 4.5+ star rating and that just doesn't seem plausible.

I like the people here!!! Cool budtenders, good conversation. Now that I've said that... not the best selection. Or quality. Or prices. Stop by if it's convenient. That's about it.

Dispensary response:
Thank you for your input. While our selection and prices vary with the growing season, we always strive for a wide variety. Your first-time review is worth 10% off of your next purchase and we are expecting a great Fall season.

I frequent this establishment fairly regularly, and usually enjoy the visits. Yesterday, an employee was having an off day and was quite a buzz kill.
1 person found this helpful
Dispensary response:
We thank you for your patronage and are sorry for the buzzkill. We are not in that business...While all staff are trained to put forth their best self, sometimes circumstances can make them forget that. Feel free put the verbal smackdown on any somber-puss employees of ours and remind them "There is no excuse for long faces in the cannabis business!". Thank you for letting us know and your support is appreciated.

I think this is the BEST dispensary in the Portland area. From my experience, the prices are the loweat. There is always a good flower for a special deal. There is a loyalty program that gives dicounts for just checking in. The staff is super knowledgeable, are always friendly and helpful. Lastly, the hours are great. They open early and close late. Whenever I can, I visit The CDC.
Dispensary response:
Thank you for your kind words and letting the community know about your experience. All first-time Leafly reviewers receive 10% off on their next visit regardless of praise or criticism.

This is, in fact, the one and only dispensary that I can stomach going to, most are either overpriced or shady. I love it's location...it has to be somewhere one is directed to find, being in a lot w a storage facility; I find that it helps w keeping the volume low enough to combat long lines and waiting times 😁 My VIP dispensary, the CDC.

Always a great experience when I go to The CDC. Starts off with a warm welcome and friendly chit chat when you check in, to getting educated from the bud tenders. I have never been given a bad recommendation on any product I have purchased from this location. I just tell them what the desired effect I am searching for and they give their recommendations.
Dispensary response:
Glad you liked the recommendations. Sounds like they were spot on. Thanks for letting everyone else know about your positive experience. Keep in mind all first-time Leafly reviewers get 10% on their next visit.

This is my go to bud shop. Been a regular since last October and no other local dispensary can compare. The staff is super chill and the bud tenders are helpful, knowledgeable, and easy to talk with about what your looking for. Zack and Walker are my guys, they usually know the strains and how the current batches are. I love that you get to see and smell all the bud before purchase, and it's not prepackaged. They have multiple deals daily and their prices overall are unbeatable. They even have a loyalty card!! I've sent all my fellow bud lovers their way and they have all become returning customers. I also love that they always have different strains on the menu, I never get bored of trying new things.

I've been to this location several times, customer service is hit or miss. however, I went there last night with my wife and the guy behind the counter was just flat out rude and not helpfull. if I were the owner I would nip this in the butt. I was there between 7pm-730pm on the 1st of Dec. guy was wearing a beenie. That info is for the owner. I will not be visiting this store anytime in the near future. worst experience I've had with customer service this year.

We are very sorry you had a less than positive experience. This is not the service or the atmosphere we strive for. If you do decide to give us another chance, we will do our best to provide a better service.
