This is my favorite dispensary in Humboldt and the staff are the best, very friendly and knowledgeable. The prices, variety, inviting atmosphere and the cute dogs make it my favorite dispensary in the area. I Highly Recommend stopping by and shopping here for locals and if your passing through the area.

Lauryn Cortez

Daniel was super friendly, great at his job, & helped me feel welcome as a first time customer! 5/5!

Amber Star

Beware entering this dispensary because they have very poorly trained large dogs behind the counter. DO NOT bring your dog into this dispensary with you and risk them being attacked. This used to be the best dispensary in Arcata but it no longer feels safe to enter, because one of the new owners lets his untrained dogs menace and intimidate customers to the point that literally ANY other dispensary in the area is a better option. Disabled Service Dog handlers NEED to stay AWAY from here.

I’m from Ohio and I’ve been to quite a few dispensaries in my state as well as others. This was the best one. The guys there were so chill, friendly, down to earth and helpful. A lot of times when you go to a dispensary it feels fake and the people can be full of themselves. They also had really cute and chill dogs. The selection was incredible as well. 10/10 experience.

The parking wasn't the best obviously not their fault just letting y'all know before you get here. Good prices good stuff 😉☁️🐉
