Substance
About Substance
Known locally as Substance 97South, this Old Farm District location holds a 4.7 rating across 138 reviews. Brandon and Alex come up repeatedly as standout budtenders, and the shop runs from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM most days, stretching to 10:00 PM on Fridays and Saturdays. Regulars who shop all three Bend Substance locations often pick this one for the staff. Reviews aren't uniformly glowing — a few customers mention prepackaged flower that didn't meet expectations or wishing for jars to smell from — but the broader pattern is solid product, fair prices, and friendly, easy-going service. Located on S Hwy 97 in Bend, it's a quick stop for anyone moving through the southside corridor. Recreational only, Oregon-legal, 21+ with valid ID. If you want a smaller-feeling Substance with budtenders who actually engage, the 97South location is a reliable bet. It's also worth knowing all three Bend Substance shops share similar pricing, so you can chase inventory between them.

Customer Reviews
The flower that I got here was really dry and harsh. The bud tenders weren’t very knowledgeable. The store layout is really lame. I want to go into a dispensary that has jars of cannabis that I can smell and look at. That prepackaged flower is garbage.
Substance 97South is the best shop in town. Brandon and Alex are the best bud-tenders around! Super knowledgeable and kind, always a super positive experience.
Experienced some unprofessional behavior from the supervisor. Needless to say, I will not return. There are many better options in town.
I've shopped all 3 Bend locations (depends on what's in stock). All three locations offer: Great products, Great prices... &, most importantly, GREAT employees!! (friendly, easy going, knowledgeable, courteous) ... (hope you get a space in Redmond... cut my current ride in half)
there are numerous reasons why we choose Substance 97S as our first choice where to buy Cannabis in Bend. If you don't already know Substance, they have the best prices in town. In many cases, the same products you can find elsewhere are less expensive at Substance. With that being said, the selection is outstanding as well! While most shops seem to have limited variety, confined to a small display case, Substance is an entire shopping experience. Each wall of the shop is a display case making it an easy and more enjoyable dispensary shopping experience. Finally, Substance associates work one on one with you as your personal shopper. Having this available has allowed me a good repertoire with a staff interested in my Cannabis needs. I use Cannabis for Medical Benefits and the staff at Substance has helped guide me on a beneficial path. In summary: Low Prices, Outstanding Variety and Personal/ Helpful Customer Service. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
