Review by shelly lusk

We have been going to Purple Star for some time now. We have never had a bad experience, the staff is always very helpful and more than willing to answer any questions that you may have. A great big shout out and thank you to Elizabeth who we normally look for absolutely amazing and very helpful, I have stage 4 cancer and she has helped with the medication that I need, I have seen her and the helpful staff for the past year and it has truly helped with my recovery. I have had some very trying times but the staff has always been there for me. Thank you Purple star for having my meds that I need.

Always fast, friendly service. Great selection and honestly BEST prices in the city. And I've been to several other clubs. All over SF and Cali. Purple Star is the bigiddy bomb!

Review by Eric Muenchow

There is almost zero justification for going to a different shop. Prices are the best I've been able to find, and there are always plenty of people behind the counter so there are no lines. Decent variety to select from, but I would love to see new (cartridge) options now and then. I spoke with Edward on my last visit and found him to be patient, helpful, and knowledgeable. That kind of experience is what will keep me coming back as a happy customer. Thanks Edward!

This is a good store. The wait time is never more than 3 minutes and the prices are competitive. Today I'm picking up a half-oz for about $70 which includes taxes.

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!
