Purple Co.
About Purple Co.
On Congress Street in downtown Portland, this Purple Co. location combines competitive pricing with a level of selection and product knowledge that has built a 4.7 rating across 134 reviews. DJ and Q get specific callouts for recommendations like the Hadlock Hammer and Georgia Apple Pie joints. Customers who shop around Portland describe this as their best blend of price and quality. The shop also lets customers actually smell the flower before buying — a small thing that matters for determining potency and freshness, and one some reviewers mention is harder to find elsewhere. A German Shepherd named Nicks reportedly makes the occasional appearance, which doesn't hurt either. Daily hours run 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM — among the longest in the area. If you're a deal-hunter or a flower connoisseur who wants to inspect before buying, this is a standout downtown option.

Customer Reviews
I had a awesome experience here. There is a nice selection with fat pricing. They also offer various discounts and deals.
Ok so I need to let people know Purple is no doubt the best spot for medical marijuana in the city of Portland !!!! Hands down the Best when it comes to price product and service. The new improved 100mg Coastal remedies lollipops are great thank you to the fokes at coastal for that !!!!! I need to edit this thank you for getting the baked bliss lollipops back 😍. I'm very happy I found this dispensary!! ☺️
DJ and Q were arguably the best duo worker crew around Portland. Best recommendations and incredible knowledge. Should get a raise truly. The Hadlock hammer and Georgia apple pie was phenomenal joints. Highly recommend to anyone who wants good help and great selections
It's been really hard for me to find a dispensary to surpass this one. Almost nowhere are you able to actually smell the flower. If I can't smell it it's difficult to determine its potency and freshness. Many strains sound and look fantastic on the surface until the disappointment kicks in upon opening. A dank smell of molded bud that's an immediate throw back to the 70s rotten cannabis. So yeah smell away here till your nose says yes, this is the one for me. Advertising is always a lie. Let your million plus years in the making, your nose, tell you what's up. This place is my number 1.
I love Purple! The staff is extremely knowledgeable and there's tons of variety. They have the best price and quality I've found in Portland, and I consider myself a deal hunter and connoisseur. Plus, sometimes there is a beautiful German Shepherd just hanging out being sweet (her name is Nicks, like Steve Nicks!) and she totally enhances the shop experience! Check this place out!
