First off let me start by saying that I've been to multiple clubs in the Bay area....from Santa Cruz to Oaktown.... I also had to do some traveling to get to these clubs as I live about a good 2.5 hours away from the bay area. Therefore, when I go to purchase my cannabis, I have to do it in large quantities to make a trip worth it. So what I look for when shopping for my cannabis in the bay area, I look for the best high grade, big quantity and reasonably priced. This way I don't find myself making multiple trips.

In Santa Cruz, the bud was cheaper in price and they had better bargains, but the bud grade was lower than that of the clubs in the bay area. Not to mention there is a limit to the purchase (I beleive the limit is 4 ounces, which is not bad). In Santa Cruz the clubs seemed located in a good area.

The best club in the bay area (in my opinion) was CCPC in Hayward (which was raided on 10/31/07). They had the best balance of great selection, excellent high grade, and at great prices, not to mention there was no limit in purchases. There is also another club in Hayward worth visiting and that is Garden of Eden. Here you will find great selection, excellent high grade, however, their prices are a bit high. This may be based on the fact that they don't sell by ounces and they do tax. You can find an eight of their best stuff for about $65. At most, they sell by quarters, which makes an ounce a bit to steep pricewise. There was a third club I went to in Hayward, but i forgot it's name and the bud there was exactly like Santa Cruz. More of the lower grade and to top it off they did not sell by ounces, Overall I did not like that last club. I must mention that every club I went to in Hayward seemed to be in a ghetto location.

Next I went to Harborside in Oaktown. It was my understanding that this was one of the more newer clubs and I was glad I found it. This is currently my next favorite club (after CCPC). Here they have all sorts of strains (Probably the most amount of strains i've seen) and of course solid prices. Their prices could be better, but I don't complain as I am paying approx $30 more per oz than at CCPC. Here they do sell by ounces, but there is also a limit in purchases. Here you are limited to 2 ounces PER WEEK (which is fine cause I usually drive every other week). This place was located in the good part of town so do not feel paranoid when you see all the cops roaming around. They usually don;t bother anyone (at least from what I can tell). On a side note, they stopped selling clones at Harborside.

The last club worth mentioning is Berkely (the Berkely Patients Group). Great experience. I thought it was cool that you can actually smoke there in the lounge. The prices were almost identical as Harborside, but not quite the selection that Harborside has. Despite they had some great high grade stuff.

I haven't been to any of the SF clubs but I'm likely to check them out sooner or later. I'm trying to read up on reviews so I can make the trip worth it....any reviews will help thanks....
