Very modern and more aEURoeupscaleaEUR than what I was expecting. Welcoming, too. I felt comfortable being there and the staff were all friendly and helpful. Cards with information about each strain available in the lobby and the menu with prices posted so you can decide what you’d like before going into the next room, which felt like walking into a jewelry store from the setup. Very clean, pleasant, holistic feeling environment. I did not meet with a counselor that time but think I may when I go again tomorrow.
The employees are knowledgeable and polite, and the facility is not too shabby, but prices are prohibitive and supply is tenuous. While recently removed from restriction and available at other dispensaries in the state, I was told by an employee today not to expect oil cartridges before next year.
Often, the figures for potency on the strain cards out front will be grossly different from what is on the jar in the back, so be sure to check that before handing over any money.
There’s also the small matter of the fear of death pulling into the parking lot, as the entrance is at the end of a highway exchange. Not something that anything can be done about, but you should be aware of it your first time going there.
First time I ever went to a dispensary and it definitely made a good impression. The wait time, even with the office being fairly busy, was only around 5 minutes or so. The person who took care of me was extremely informative and understanding with all of my questions of which I had many. I have now tried both strains I purchased and have reacted very well to them. The deals they have on high-CBD and pre-ground material brought the prices down to what I was essentially paying before I got my card which I was extremely happy about. This may be my first dispensary and Ill have to try others but I must say for my first time this was an amazing first impression.
The prices here are ridiculous!
Just went there for the first time today, incredibly long wait just to go in a see the flowers!!! Bud was good, definitely room for improvement. I will try it again to give it a overall review! The bud tender was very polite and informative!
From my first consult, the staff has been amazingly warm and welcoming. At times there’s a wait, but that’s on the people who don’t know what they want before going into the back. Would be 5 star service, but the phone number goes to voicemail most of the time. If I didn’t live so close (under a mile), I’d probably be more impatient.
From my first phone call when I was helped by Jen, I explained I had a limited window of time and asked if she could get me in for first time appointment first thing the next day. She told me to go make the change on the state website and call her back and in at the same time she would see if she could squeeze me the next day. When I called her back in 5 mins she told me that there had been a cancellation and she could get me in at 10am – Perfect!
When I get there I am welcomed in this very professional, yet hip doctors office-esque lobby. After filling out the required paperwork I met with their Health Counselor (not sure actual title) Nikko. He proceeded to meet with me one on one going over and really educating me on all aspects of Medical Marijuana and the strains that they offered.
We decided to go with BlackWater shake. As I prepare to nod off all I can say is “SUPER DE LUXE!!”dY~ZdY~ZdY’dY’dY~ZdY~Z
The staff here is amazing. They honestly make you feel like family. And the lobby here makes for the best place to meet other patients and discuss new strains. Although you may have to wait a couple minutes you can learn so much from the other friendly customers where if they did not have the waiting room you probably wouldn’t ever talk to.
Very welcoming with a knowledgeable staff. Good atmosphere and an overall pleasant experience. This was the first dispensary I visited. I have been to four of the five dispensaries in the state and I would say this one is second-best.
To me what is important and what Will always be important is the quality of the product and the consistency. Gardenstate dispensary has been a little inconsistent in this regard. One strain in particular was rated 33% THC and the next harvest it was in the low teens. Most of what I have gotten there has dried up fairly quickly. The buds just don’t seem to stay tight, which to me is a sign that they rush the product out and do not cure it properly. They started out good but they need to get it together again. For now I have to drive an hour and a half to Camden county to get what I need.
FYI I got the Death Star, Bubba Barry, Blackwater, and Flo… The death Star was the one that took the plunge in THC
great selection of strains, recommend the ecsd and deathstar! Niko took care of me and helped me select which strains were best for me!
Excellent, professional, top shelf meds. I can’t wait to go back. Everything is professional and first-class. Medicine is top-shelf. Whatever they’re doing they need to keep doing it.
Everything about this place is fantastic. Variety
Implements
Accessories
The ONLY thing that they can improve is their phone communication. No one ever answers the phone.
Educated employee friendly atmosphere quality Meds I highly suggest this spot !
Hands down the best in NJ
This place definitely feels more like a business then a medical dispensary which may be because of their crazy high prices. The quality is about par for the rest of the state but since they are more expensive then the rest of the state I expect their quality to be higher otherwise they should lower their prices. Once new dispensaries open up I hope they realize how much they’re ripping people off.
It’s cool a little corporate I would like lower prices and some extracts even I know it’s the state.
I really liked the vibe of this location. It was my first time visiting a dispensary ever and I’m happy I chose this one to be my ATC. I like that they had their different strains and what they’re good for all throughout the store. I made an appointment beforehand and sat down with a counselor, she was a sweetheart. I did my research on the strains I was interested in and she gave me her professional input which I appreciated. The pricing was cheaper than I expected, I will definitely be going back.
Too three pros and cons to this location:
Pros
1) friendly staff
2) good variety
3) clean, well lit, ample seating, modern and professional.
Cons
1) pulling out of the parking lot is a hair raising event
2) prices are higher than most other places
3) the preground for one strain was very sugary and high quality, the other had more leaf material and tiny broken stems but was not terrible quality.
All in all, I’d visit again. Especially for their blackwater!
I just got my card. There’s a dispensary closer to where I live, but after reading other reviews for GSD and visiting their website, I decided it was worth the half hour or so ride. Not only do they have a better selection of strains but from the moment I walked in and was greeted by Sandra, I knew I chose the right place. I felt welcomed right away. I didn’t have to wait long before I met with my counselor, Jeff. He was great, very helpful and informative, answering all of my questions. I highly recommend GSD.
The entire staff is extremely helpful and pleasant.
I was so impressed with Jeff’s knowledge and honesty. He’s pretty funny as well. I’m 100% new to smoking and the world of Marijuana and he offered his wisdom. You can tell he loves his job and he’s quite good at it! The sell flower and shake which was good because at the time I didn’t have a grinder.
love this place. my book grew away from home
First– make an appointment since this place can get busy. Second, if you have all your paperwork, you shouldn’t have a problem. Third– don’t expect to get a tour or go in & see flowers. That ain’t happening.
This is the most helpful dispensary I’ve been to in NJ and they have a lot of appointments available. If you need to see a pharmacist, make an appointment. If you’re restocking your supply, don’t just drop in because appointments get first dibs.
The cost? Nowhere near what I thought it would be. I was expecting between $120-$140 per 1/4 ounce. It was half that. Plus they had some sales today & I wound up spending a fraction of what I did for medication in NY. (I was a NY patient when I lived there). Overall, for an ounce, it cost me $340, with tax.
The place is professional, clean, friendly, and the aromas of the grow-room (on the other side of the dispensary) perfume everything. They have lots of gear too, so if you’re in need of accoutrement, they have a good selection.
The only downside if you think of it as a downside– and this is for anyone in NJ– there isn’t much at all in terms of processed products. If you’re not intending on smoking, then you’re on your own. But, I’m an herbalist so I have a stack of recipes to try and I’m excited to have some measure of control over my medicine. If you’re going to make your own edibles, try getting their shake. It’s not the shake you may be familiar with. GSD’s shake is pure trim off premium bud. No stem. No garbage. Ground flower and very sticky, so it’s full of the good stuff. If you’re on a budget, shake will cost a good deal less than flower.
