I have been to Harborside in Oakland, The Green Door in SF, Organicann in Santa Rosa, MJ's Place in Upper Lake, The Patients Choice in Upper Lake, The place on I streed in Arcata and I just went to a place on Hwy 20 in Lucerne.

Harborside is good but you need to get there early and learn which budtenders know what they are talking about. The majority of their weed is tested and the results are clearly posted for thc content. If you know what you are doing and connect with a good budtender you can usually get good weed early in the day. Their best bud is $55 or $60 plus taxes.

The Green Door is cool in that they have a smoking lounge. You also have to get there early the best buds. The parking is bad. The budtenders are indifferent to the customers and don't seem that knowledgeable. But the best weed like silverback was better than what is typical at Harborside. Also I got buds at The Green Door that looked rolled. The top price is $45 1/8 (no tax) for their best bud.

Organicann is like a factory building. Parking and access from the freeway are easy. There are many rules and lectures before entering. The weed is displayed in a long row in alphabetical order so you need to walk along to see what is rated the highest. The buds here also looked rolled. The quality was quite good but it is always hard to choose what is the best. The second time I went I got the og kush and it was the bomb. The purple rain was good but not near as good as the og. The budtenders just wander behind the display counter and seem of little help. They do have a large selection of clones and also carry growing supplies. Their best bud is $55 with taxes. They give 10% discount to seniors (55 up) on certain days and 10% dicsount for purchases greater than $150.

MJ's Place has a great selection and the highest priced buds are $45 plus taxes. The budtender can usually make a good recommendation but supplies are limited here as well. Also they usually have one of the regular $45 weeds on sale for $35 so make sure to ask. I tried the brownie but was a little disappointed. I make my own medibles so usually find the purchased ones weak.

The Patients Choice doesn't usually have as good of bud as MJ's (across the street from each other) but last week they had the og kush and again it was the bomb. The prices are $50 1/8 and I am not sure about the taxes. They do have rice crispy treats that are a great bargain for $3.

The place on I street in Arcata is like a shed in a parking lot. You can usually find it by the line of people waiting for medicine. The budtenders are of little help and the folks in line aren't much help either. You just have to know your strains and pick one of the good ones. The price is $41 no taxes.

I can't remember the name of the place in Lucerne on Hwy 20 and I was just there once. I tried the cheese since I like the taste. It was marginal for cheese taste wise and the high was a dissapointment. My broken bliss plant that blew over and dried out in the sun was stronger and it had 3 or more weeks to go. The price was $50 1/8 no taxes.
