Smh. These guys with their super overpriced pre-rolls. Quality was lacking, budtender didn't know the strains. Super overpriced. Competition is tight in Pdx, don't see them making it unless they get better quality, and bring the prices down. We should be paying less post legalization, not more.
These guys have become less service oriented over the past 6 months. They really do seem to have a sort of stand-offish quality about them. Not sure why. You need to have everything just right in Pdx these days, because a better dispensary is right around the corner. Sorry guys, you gave me bad vibes.
Calyxes is the best dispensary experience in the Pacific Northwest. I now only buy and consume Green Bodhi's flower because it is clean green certified and I care about what I put into my body. Natalie and Jake, if you're lucky enough to get to meet them, are the absolute best bud tenders. The flower here is the best I've ever seen/smoked (and I've seen A LOT). Plus, with their new concentrate (non solvent extractions) menu - they're truly taking it to the next level. THANK YOU GUYS!
I wanted to update my review since this place has become soooo much better as time has gone on. Yes, you will be smoking clean flower if you buy it here. Yes, (to me at least) that's worth spending a little more money. Yes, the shop looks beautiful. Yes, the people who run it are super cool! This is one of two shops (the other being calyxes, which hasn't bought in to the leafly mafia) that I go to exclusively now.
If you're on "the tour" of Portland dispensaries (as I am) then this has to be on your list. They did a very nice job with the decor. Really put a lot of work in. Flowers looked great. I ended up with some really nice head stash worthy buds. The 20s jazz scene isn't really my deal, so I'm not as amazed as I have been at other shops. Still, a fun experience. The only negative I saw was how they package your purchase. They use sleeves, which compressed the flower. A shame to do that to such high end product.
Don't let the location or decor stop you from coming here. Sure, they're not as slick or 'branded' as other shops - but they've definitely got a better connection to growers than others. Seriously the best flower I've seen outside of Farma. Very friendly/nice staff. The only place I'll ever buy Master Kush!!! These guys are one of the original shops. Respect.
So, I want to smoke, but I also want to be a part of society. When I want both at the same time, I smoke Jack. "The people's weed" is one of the best treats to smell and taste. Happy without being overblown, relaxed without (you know) being all judgey hippy or worse.
