Going Green Albany — Local services in Albany

I have recently moved here from Colorado and I anticipated a different atmosphere at dispensaries compared to Colorado . As Colorado has set the bar. Here people can just walk in and a large number if people gather waiting to look at and buy product. It creates a anxiety, frustration, and chaos with ten people standing behind me taping feet and sighing while Im trying to look and see what is available. Nothing is labeled well. Loud music . hard to see , prices are not listed for things that are not on special . People who work there act annoyed when asked questions . It would be helpful if there was clear list with prices, limit the number of people in the small space at the same time. I felt like I was in a busy chipotle being hurried down an assembly line by an annoyed employee who didnt want to answer my questions about strains i was not familiar with and there was nothing for me to look at or read about what was available . If you are not going to have something i can look at about what you have available , dont get mad when I ask questions. I laughed when i was told about the policy of not touching the jars, but i can stick my nasty nose in it and smell but I can't look at the product . Dumb and annoying. My boyfirend was irritated and walked out. Oregon can learn a lot from Standards set...

When I first started buying this product, I was worried that going into these jobs would feel and be no different than buying from my high school drug dealer. Well while some of those shops are that way, this store has the most amazing staff, who are knowledgeable about the product, just like I would expect any other business to be, who are incredibly friendly, and are not hard to look at either (at least the women aren't ;-).

I think one of the biggest surprises to me was the fact that this store set things up just like a retail space would be set up. It is clean, easy to navigate, the marketing materials are easy to read, the interior decorating is well done, and other than seeing the actual product the only other sign that something is being sold here that might be different from other places is the smell, which you can’t do much about. I would easily recommend others to go to this establishment, I will continue to use this establishment, and maybe make some new...

This is the most conveniently located pot shop for me, but this is why I recommend avoiding them.

They mix their labels between THC % and "Total Cannabinoids" in an effort to prevent people from number shopping. The Total Cannabinoids number from what I understand is the THC% + CBD% + (Probably something else)

So aside from not providing a THC%, their selection is not worth your time. Top shelf was absurdly expensive ($60 1/8th anyone?). Every other mid shelf bud I've got has a bad taste to it, and I don't even wanna try their low grade 8% THC twigs.

Their system is setup to trick the customers so that they can supply a "points reward system" which is just a way of getting repeat customers. I don't support any shop that participates in this practice and would like to see them go out of business or change...
