Review by Erin Blackburn

Legal weed is expensive now, but this place probably offers the fairest dispensary prices. At this point, I only really use oil pens and I like that they have a super wide variety of oil cartridges. Good customer service also. Everyone is nice and always seems to be in a good mood.

Great customer service. While not the largest location the staff was very fluid in going from customer to customer. Also had a really solid knowledge in products for my random questions. Will definitely be visiting the location again.

Alpine Alternative is an average dispensary for Sacramento. The flower selection is good and they have a decent selection on concentrates. Prices are high, but almost no different than other places in the city limits. The point system was a cool feature, but it doesn't exist anymore last time I went in. I lost a couple of coupons that I saved for a rainy day. The service is usually flawless.

Alpine Alternative is #1 in my eyes.. They display their prices & the price you see is the price you pay!! First timers sign up was sooo easy, unlike some of these other dispensaries that make you fill out multiple pages worth of paperwork. Their selection of carts is large AF . THANK YOU ALPINE, I WILL DEFINITELY BE DOING BUSINESS WITH YOU AGAIN!!!

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!
