This place will do if you don't feel like driving into Fairbanks. Not the freshest bud or the lowest prices - some of the specials are pretty good - but as the only game in North Pole, I won't complain (much)... ;-)

A little out of the way, but definitely recommended. Good selection, high quality flower, reasonable prices, generous specials. They also weigh and bag your buds in front of you from the actual jars they offer for inspection (this makes or breaks a dispensary IMHO as otherwise you're rolling the dice on the quality you will actually receive). Friendly budtenders and staff as well. Worth the drive!

The reviews are right - this place is as good as it gets in the East Valley. Big selection, high quality flower, reasonable prices, you name it. They also weigh and bag your buds in front of you from the actual jars they offer for inspection (this makes or breaks a dispensary IMHO as otherwise you're rolling the dice on the quality you will actually receive). Friendly budtenders and receptionists as well. Highly recommended!

Meh, much better options available in the East Valley. One strain I bought from these guys (ATF) was literally the worst bud I've ever been served at a dispensary (and I've patronized quite a few). To make matters worse, they short-changed me on the new patient BOGO special. They ultimately allowed me the BOGO when I went back (two receptionists and the manager(?) I talked to over the phone after being shorted and stuck with bunk flower were admittedly very friendly), but both budtenders I met were uppity and unhelpful after faint initial whiffs of affability. FYI - if you're out of the stuff on the online menu that brings a customer in to begin with, your knowledge better be lights out regarding the replacements on offer. If not, getting curt and high-handed with customers will make you look like a clown. In any event, there are far better options in the Mesa area that weigh and bag the actual flower they produce for your inspection in front of you. Otherwise, you run the risk of getting stuck with a sealed bag of old overpriced dirt weed from behind the counter, as happened to me. To be fair, a couple of the other strains I tried were perfectly fine so I suppose Giving Tree might do in a pinch. Even if my bad ATF experience was atypical though, there are undeniably better options out there considering GT's highish prices and limited selection.
