High Desert Relief - HDR
About High Desert Relief - HDR
On Pan American Freeway NE in the Reindeer neighborhood, this Albuquerque cannabis store holds a 4.5-star rating across 569 reviews. Regulars visit two to three times per week, with budtenders like Seleste called out by name for personalized recommendations on disposable pens and other formats. The selection and quality earn repeat praise. Hours run 10 AM to 7 PM seven days a week, making it one of the more conservative closing times in the Albuquerque market, so plan accordingly if you're a late-evening buyer. One review flagged strict closing-time policies (no entry even with a minute to spare), so don't cut your arrival close. The product range covers flower, vapes, edibles, and accessories with knowledgeable staff guiding selections. Sitting just off the freeway, the location is easy to reach for shoppers commuting on I-25 or coming from the north Albuquerque suburbs. For a consistent, accessible dispensary on the city's east side, this is a workable choice.

Customer Reviews
Seleste was extremely helpful in helping me find exactly what I needed and gave personal recommendations for disposable pens. Great selection and quality! Highly recommend these guys!
Seleste at High Desert went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. She was professional, kind, and truly cared about helping. Her extra effort made such a difference — highly recommend her!
This place is just about perfect 👌🏼, until last night. I come here about 2-3x a week. Not including my husband’s weekly visits. I understand business post their open hours for reasons. However, last night when I pulled in after work ( rushing as soon as fast as I could) to make it in before 7p. I pulled into the parking lot with 1 minute to spare and when I walked to the door, the employee shut it and locked it. I work in the service industry, and this was a really disappointing experience. The employee could’ve kindly said “I am sorry we are closed” while he was locking the door and I would’ve said thank you and been about my night. Unfortunately this was not the case. Better training on customer service could go a long way.
This is one of the best dispensaries in New Mexico. HDR has chill local vibes, with no gimmicks or corporate BS, and they offer a great selection of classic strains. Their weekend pricing is unbeatable. I love the new organic options.
Today was my first time visiting this establishment, and unfortunately, it was not a good experience. The person at the front desk was very rude and unwelcoming, especially for a first-time customer. I won’t be returning and wouldn’t recommend this place to others. I ended up going to Oasis down the street instead their staff was friendly, and they had great deals! I got 10 infused pre-rolls (90% THC) for just $20. Much better experience overall.
