Breakwater Dispensary Cranbury — Local services in Cranbury Township

Breakwater has the best flower hands down, not even a question. Their customer service is also commendable. I was a weekly customer for well over 6 months and not once was I disappointed in the quality. However, given both the economic climate and lobbyism making NJ the only legalized state where homegrown marijuana can land you in prison; it would be nice to see Breakwater take some initiative. The prices are VERY high, and I understand business is business, but maybe a rewards program overhaul should be considered. As it stands, you have to spend $1000, to receive just $50 off, which doesn’t even cover an 1/8th. I don’t think that’s very rewarding, especially to medical patients. Would it kill the bottom line to spend let’s say $300 and get a free 1/8th? I’m not an economist, but i’m sure rewarding your most frequent customers will only lead to them coming in more often.

For reference, this collection I have on my desk for some reason, of 46 jars (approximately 2 per week) cost roughly $2500 (5% of the average NJ salary), making a years supply of a singular 1.0 gram joint a day, a whopping 10% of the average NJ salary. This also means that just 2 of those jars collected in 6 months were discounted -$50…

2 out of those 46…

That said,

Breakwater has consciously chosen to ignore this issue in pursuit of profits. My review on the Roselle location received the generic copy and paste response that others far less detailed and considerate reviews. Remember that Breakwater is a business, and even if the staff may care, THE OWNER DOES NOT. I spent $$$ thousands of dollars at Breakwater and couldn’t even get an email or some kind of formal acknowledgment that they would look into a solution. Breakwaters initiative is to make money not provide a fair service to medical patients and their lack of compassion should be deeply considered by potential shoppers.*

But…

Until Home Grow (which you should publicly advocate for) any patients who find themselves in need of cheaper medication, DEAL SURF. There are deals everyday, and even if the distances between dispensaries may be far you can find crazy deals like I have the past two months. Like a $12 (.5 gram) Resin Cart from a well known dispensary in Bloomfield, (if you google dispensaries in that area it will be first). But anyway, shop around and look for what’s on sale and you’ll be surprised! Cheers!

To the owner: It’s a shame you didn’t take any reasonable action after I first addressed these issues. However, I know you saw the news recently about the push for home grow in our Garden State. I hope you cling on to every dollar you profit off of sick patients for the next year because after that it’s all over. We will get home grow, and you will no longer be able to take advantage. I personally know cancer patients who cannot afford your medicine, simply due to your insatiable appetite for profiting off of MEDICAL PATIENTS. It’s disgusting, it’s vial, it’s greedy, and truly, may God have mercy...

copied review from facebook: Do not waste your time or money here people- they could care less about the patient - their prices say it all! Drove nearly TWO HOURS, got to the place at 4:45 pm (had a 5:00pm appointment) the gps as I showed them takes you across the street. I arrived at 5:08 * after calling them 4 times since 4:45pm and looking for the place. They “politely” turned me away. I pleaded and showed them my call log as well. There is no corporate management to complain and the manager simply repeats back “sorry we cannot help you today would you like to reschedule” I have been to dozens of dispensary this has me baffled. I took half a day off work, drove two hours to the facility for nothing. Additionally, I asked the manager to elaborate- since the guy says the group appointment half way through at 5:08pm- yet the manager claims it is “too late” to have another appointment despite the closing time being 6:30pm... so which is it? It takes too long or it is to short and I missed it all within 10 minutes? Lastly, the manager failed to elaborate on why the appointment is essential by simply stating this is their policy. If you want a place that does not take the patients into account, go right ahead. I can admit when I am wrong and today it is not that day. I arrived at their gps location 15 minutes prior to my appointment and I called numerous times. What kind of place turns you down for being 8 minutes late and specially when they are not responding to clarify their location. I will never spend my money here and I will be sure to share this with my followers, friends and family. Not to mention, the absurdity in the high cost! I think I will stick to my $40 cartridges vs their overly priced $80 carts and %300 markup on oils. what a shame this is how this place operates. I also recorded the entire conversation by the way- and I will be sharing it with everyone too. Just to show...

I am thrilled to have found BREAKWATER. I'm an older woman, and felt very nervous about going to the center, my son took me. We were treated to: respect, friendliness, a knowledgeable staff and most importantly, patience from the staff. Within my first 2 visits to purchase, I already found which strains work best for me, for pain, for sleep. Without the patient explanation from the guy who helped me, I would have been at a complete loss .

BREAKWATER is pleasant, super-clean and comfortable. I was immediately put at ease and made my purchase, left with it in a little "boutique" bag. The prices of all the facilities I've checked out seem to be about the same when you figure in that BREAKWATER has "monthly specials". Still, the government should help a lot more. The reason I need this is for pain, and in this most expensive of states for anything, the insurance companies really need to research the benefits and treat this medication as it would the Morphine that's been shove down my throat for years. It IS a proved medical alternative, it works, it helps. It has significantly improved the quality of my life...and as I'm on permanent disability, older, single, Medical Marijuana needs to be made more affordable. It's tough knowing that there is such a helpful medication, that's very tough for me to afford, and the days or week that I'm forced to due without it, due to cost is very depressing, those days I'm coiled up, nearly immobile in bed.

Nonetheless, this is the best dispensary by far. Discreet, compassionate and very caring and experienced. I began this spring GSD and after finding BREAKWATER, I know I'm finally satisfied. I cannot say much more than to the...
