Elevated carries a great line of edibles. They also have a decent selection of bongs. Concerning their flower...they usually have a good selection of new and old school strains. When smoking the flower from Elevated, assume machine cured. I don't know the method they use for curing but the flower can be smoked in very small hits or expect to cough. Machine curing is rampant in the legal pot market. Great for shelf life but horrible for the customer. I think it's time we start to expect some properly cured marijuana. I don't care if I have to pay double. I'm sick of hating the effort it takes to get high. C'mon, think about the end user for once. Offer a boutique quality for those of us who don't care about $70 oz. Many of us have lives that don't allow us to just grow our own. Please don't choose to not shop here based on this review. There are very few shops in town that offer properly cured marijuana. But imo, it's worth the effort to find them. I'm not listing anything here out of respect for Elevated. Enough for now. Time to get back to the 1/4 bong hit I loaded and have now cornered 3 times. I can do another tiny hit now. Why? Cuz no one else has Mac 1.

My second visit. We have to assume that a border dispensary is going to have issues. Availability of product, and a small pool of knowledgeable employee candidates were the issues I expected. This is a really small town. With the non-existent consistency of cannabis nomenclature, we have to rely on bud tenders to know the product they sell. I heard a guy once say " I love Blue Dream". I'm thinking, I've had Blue Dream 3 times and none were the same flower. I asked the disinterested bud pusher at 420Ville her opinion of the stoniest product she has. So now I'm stuck with a bag of less than average, poorly trimmed, poorly cured, throat razors. The level of interest from my bud pusher skyrocketed when I ordered an oz of this stuff. So much so that a red flag went off and thankfully I backed way off on my order. Bonus for pushing slow movers? The prices are pretty good and the customer base is hundreds of times bigger than any other dispensary I have visited. I hope that they will invest in a better staff before the guys down the street take all their customers. The owner is awesome, always friendly and smiling. And super busy.

I described to the budtender exactly what I was looking for. I was pointed to the sativa shelf. I bought 2 grams of different flowers to sample before committing to a large supply. The bud, Blue Dream and Dragon was super stoney but smoked like it had not been cured. SO harsh. Too bad. Could be excellent.

Fast friendly knowledgeable staff. We visited 5 dispensaries while in Bend. Only one other sold us anything. The selection at THC was like Netflix but the staff pointed me to what I described I wanted. Excellent choices. See ya this spring!
