Review by William Goodman

A Shelf Above The Rest not only has the best bud (absolutely phenomenal) i have found in California, but the best customer service I have received at any dispensary as well. Mike is so knowledgeable and passionate about his products; it is very refreshing to know that there are people in this business doing it the right way. Do yourself a huge favor and stop by A Shelf Above The Rest because that is exactly what this place is. I promise you that once you do, you will never go anywhere else.

Review by Jane Doe

Good location but not too much parking and they close early so check before you come. Bud here is ok but pricey and they don’t give any good deals. Wax department was minimal and so was overall selection in this store. Weed is good but pricier then others nearby the area. Really cool workers here and so is security

I LOVE this shop, truly "above the rest". The staff is knowledgeable and professional. The products are the best, purest and fairly priced. This shop has been the top of all I've visited, bar none. Best kept secret in the area. Keep up the shinning example for all to follow. I deserve the best and now you know where to go, your welcome!

What is a Dispensary?

A dispensary is a store that sells special items or dispenses the specialized items. Cannabis or marijuana dispensariers started in the US some time in the early 1990’s when Dennis Peron opend the San Francisro Cannbis Buyers Club. Back then the cannabis dispensary faced a ton of hardships, but Dennis, his team and dream helped pave the future for all future recreational and medical cannabis dispensaries. In 2014 the first recreational dispensary, 3D Cannabis opened it’s doors in Colorado. As of 4-1-19 33 states have medical dispensaries and 10 states have recreational dispensaries.

At a dispnsary one will find many differnt kinds of cannabis flowers (buds) and concentrates, edibles along with smoking untensils, but have a limited selection compared to online shops like Elev8 Glass Gallery. The dispensary also will have what is called a budtender to help you find what you are looking for. If you need help with cannabis info Elev8 Presents is a good resource.

What is the difference between a medical or recreational dispensary?

In realtiy medical and recreational dispensaries are the same thing. This all comes down to the states laws on cannabis. We feel cannabis is just like alcohol and medical will happen first and then recreational will follow, and so far history is showing this. Dispensaries are an excellent place for patients and recreational smokers alike to find the cannabis that best suits their needs!
