Review by Ezras DoomBurgers

Best in all of santa cruz. They have there own product they make and maybe one other and the quality is top notch very fresh. Everynone else has year old product and still charging full price.

Review by Samantha Killheffer

My FAVORITE dispensary in town. I love these guys. Love, love, love it! I loved their products before they got a storefront, and they are pretty much my only dispensary, 95% of the time...

Review by Catherine N

My favortie dispensary in all of Santa Cruz County! What it may lack in size and the "Apple $$$tore Ambience" of some other dispensaries, SCVA more than makes up for in terms of selection, LOW prices and wonderful, friendly customer service. Their Kaizen 'Arctic" topical cream/stick is downright magical at soothing my Old Lady aches and pains. They also now accept debit cards! Highly reccomended!

Review by Erik Larsen

Very poor customer service. They play games and wont give me a straight answer about one of their products. Rude and a lousy attitude if you start asking questions about some of their flowers especially the Kosher Kush that is of lesser quality than i can get at their competitors. Shop with caution...they play games.

Review by Matt

10% THC flower and customer service doesn’t care. I’ve been coming here since they opened and their flower used to test at 30% for kosher kush, they had nothing below 17%. Now I come in and buy their SCVA flower and get 10% golden lemons, 20% kosher. 20% kosher isn’t that bad, but I paid the same price for their golden lemons and got, basically, middies. I ask to exchange the unopened flower for something else and they refuse. So, FYI, SCVA flower isn’t as reliable as it used to be.

About Santa Cruz, California

Santa Cruz (Spanish for "Holy Cross") is the largest city and the county seat of Santa Cruz County, in Northern California. As of the 2020 census, the city population was 62,956. Situated on the northern edge of Monterey Bay, Santa Cruz is a popular tourist destination, owing to its beaches, surf culture, and historic landmarks. Santa Cruz was founded by the Spanish in 1791, when Fermín de Lasuén established Mission Santa Cruz. Soon after, a settlement grew up near the mission called Branciforte, which came to be known across Alta California for its lawlessness. With the Mexican secularization of the Californian missions in 1833, the former mission was divided and granted as rancho grants. Following the American Conquest of California and the admission of California as a U. S. state in 1850, Santa Cruz was incorporated as a town in 1866, and became a charter city in 1876. The creation of the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk in 1904 solidified the city's status as a seaside resort community, ... Read More

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!
