So the only important thing I can say is:
This place has no mercy, they should be relocated to L.A. because they operate the same down there. It's all about the organics, baby, not mediocre hydro and outdoor!!! Doesn't even deserve a whole star! The sad thing is: I used to go to this location every day. Sorry Greenway Uncompassionate!

Dang, where can I even start. Well first off I knew before I even went to this shop that they were sketchy because a guy I used to play ball with is a vendor who donated 335 pre-rolled joints (made from his small budlettes and trim) to this club in order to provide severely sick and low-income patients with "free medicine". They thanked him and agreed. He walks in a week or so later to find them on sale for $10 a piece. He asked to speak with the manager about this and after a small argument was told that their "buisness decisions" were none of his business and was asked to leave.

I don't grow myself and went in their yesterday to purchase some high grade meds. Sign up was friendly but their security guard wasn't very knowledgable on the current medical marijuana laws and I can see how alot of people probably get turned away when they shouldn't be. I went inside and to my surprise all their good meds were $65-$75 an 8th. I got some Silver Erkle (Super Silver Haze x Purple Erkle) for $65 that was pretty chronic, but not what you would get in SF or OAK for the same price. I would say it is worth $45-$50. Do not visit this club. Mediocre customer service and overpriced good (not the best) medicine.

The security guards at Greenway are always friendly and efficient. Parking is always easy and there is little waiting. However, I am a bit disappointed in the bud tenders. I am on social security disability and cannabis therapy is new to me, and coupled with my natural shyness, it is really embarrassing to purchase product. I am ill and no longer pretty, and I have a hard time getting waited on by the bud tenders. The capsules that I rely on for sleep and pain relief come in 15 or 30 count. The small bottle is significantly more expensive and the bud tender would not combine two small bottles to save me some dollars, nor would he offer me a discount due to my social security disability. I'm not purchasing to "get high" so I am a tad saddened and humiliated by the experience. Maybe next time will be better.

This is a very professional, safe, and caring company. They have a wonderful selection and a very informative staff. The prices are high, but the quality is great!

I have been a Medical Marijuana Patient for eight years. I have been to dispensories up and down the State of California - and have had the most wonderful experiences - but this place "Greenway" should be put out of business. What a huge rip off.

I went there in late November with my newly updated prescription, from the same doctor I have always used, and my Medical Marijuana ID Card that was good until December 16, 2009 - which legally is still valid for 30 days past 12/16/09 - but the kid "security" guard tried to tell me that I wasn't legal with Greenway or the Cops and then proceeded to take both my license and my ID Card into the back to show, I presume, his Mother, who own's the place. He came back out and said "O.K., you're legal for today" and then proceeded to "Wand" me with a metal detector.

Are these people kidding? The I.D. card is voluntary. All I need to enter is my Prescription and my Drivers License. I told that youngster to give me back my license and ID card and that I would NEVER give money to these ignorant, uninformed and incompassionate "see your pot dollars at work with our fancy glass packaging and huge entrance wanding area" freaks.

This place sucks.

The security is tight but it's justified in my opinion to safeguard the business, it's staff and customers. I have no problem with bringing someone in to wait in the lobby for me rather than in the car. I have been going there for more than a year and have found the staff to be friendly and helpful.They know the kind of medication I prefer and have made great recommendations. Important to note that anyone on medical disability can get a discount. Every little bit helps when you're income has been cut due to illness. I'm recovering from stage 3 cancer. Would highly recommend Greenway based on their products and their staff.

Hello.

I am the Security Director for Greenway Compassionate Relief Inc. in Santa Cruz. If you have a complaint about the service or procedures of Greenway feel free to send me an email. I would be happy to settle any disputes or problems with service. I cannot by the City ordinance comment on price or product via the phone or email, but if you have had a negative experience at our club I would like the opportunity to correct the problem. Our primary responsibility is to our patients.

Thank you
Scott

I was very surprised at the prices for an 1/8, $60.00, for the good meds. Those are San Francisco prices. I can get better for $45.00 in Oakland. They also frisked me with a metal detector, and this is santa cruz, not gangster town. The parking absolutly sucked. I was told that the person in the car with me either had to come inside or park elsewhere. They also wanted to see what was inside my backpak, and kept my cell phone and camera at the front. I do not think I would go back.

Way overpriced. Eighths go up to 65$. The bud is quality for the high priced eighths. I don't recommend buying anything other then their bud if you're forced to go here. Their pre rolls are clearly trim and shake. Don't buy them. I haven't had a lot of their edibles, but I haven't gotten high off any of the ones I bought. My only experience with their concentrates is their kali mist kief. It sucked and it was the closest thing to a sativa that isn't a hybrid on their menu. Remember, with these guys the more expensive the more quality.

All in all, this place is good if you have a lot of money to spare. If you don't have money to spare this place sucks a lot.

It is my belief that GCR's pricing is closely priced to the "black market" trends because they want to keep Medical Marijuana legal.

If somebody illegitimately uses their Medicinal Marijuana card to buy ounces of Medicine, and turn it around and sell it on the street, they will not see much profit with the current price structure.

If Medicinal Marijuana was cheaper than the black market prices, however, people would Make a larger ROI, resulting in bad publicity. I don't know about you, but the last thing I want to hear on the news is that Medicinal Marijuana is fueling the black market's illegal drug trade.

Over priced Prop 215 was originated to help the sick and needy not the fat and greedy. I do not know to many sick people that can afford there crazy prices.This is a club for metro sexual yuppies that can afford an eight insane. Beware

Awesome place very friendly and offers discounts to disabled vetreans. Will always go here easy to find. Grat prices for the quality. Also the jars are cool please remember recycle.... Bring them back to be refilled. Have a great 4/20

Fun and interesting. Try to avoid going on Saturday it's packed with a wait. Nice selection of meds during the grow season but kind of weak the last couple of times there. Was disappointed. The one real negative is how much they charge. Bring tons of money because nothing is cheap here. Staff is good.

Posted April 2, 2009

As the other reviewer said, the guard is nice but the other people there can leave something to be desired.. I find it hard to get even basic information out of them about whether a strain is indica or sativa. I realize that its listed on the board but sometimes there are a lot of people in there and its easier to just ask the person directly. Their hash is terrible and not worth the money. The strains are good but definitely seem overpriced, I am going to keep looking for another club in the area.

Posted March 4, 2009

I was suprised at easy it was to find, there is a sign on the street that is very visable. The man at the front counter asked me for me card as soon as I walked in, of course. The entire process took about 5 minutes, which I was happy about, and after that you get to enter "The Room." They had a very nice selection including Maui Waui, Snowcap, a great selection of Diesels and Kush's and many more. I was suprised at how many choices for edibles they had as well. They had really decent prices dropping down to $35 an eighth for the lowest quality meds and $6 being the lowest priced edible brownie. Great prices on Kief too, $11 being the lowest and $43 being the highest. I definitley recommend it for anyone in the area looking for low prices with pretty good quality.

The guard was nice, but for the rest, like my momma taught me, if ya don't have something nice to say...you get the point. I will never return!

Posted December 19, 2008

Visited for the first time today and I was pretty impressed with the selection of meds. Lots of strains, lots of hash and keif, and a huge selection of edibles and other novelty items. Only drawback: expensive! They say they absorb the tax, but it kinda didn't seem like it. The "Budtenders" are very nice and knowledgeable and I got a lot of info while there for only 15 minutes! I will go here again to purchase my meds, but not for everyday smoke.

My first visit to Greenway was a very pleasant experience. I found it to be a very clean and safe envornment. The staff was very polite and helpful. Inside I found a very large and variable selection of Cannabis items. I have been back several times since my initial visit and will not go anywhere else. I highly reccomend Greenway to anyone. Aloha

High price, no compassion.

I was going to this place and when I came out this place a SUV with two guys and a blond girl who knock me over and her took my picture she called me "A drug addict and said God will punish you." I found out that she put my picture onto the internet saying I was a drug addict. My work found out and had me drug tested and I failed and because of that I was fired.

Posted May 12, 2008

First off, I am a new marijuana patient, not a first time smoker. Going into Greenway, the guard and receptionist dude were friendly. I signed a form, they called my name. Then I walked into a candy store full of buds. The help is awesome. Great selection and great prices. The edibles rock! I even got a free sample of bud for being a first time visitor!

Posted May 9, 2008

I went to this place and even though I have all the legal papper work he was very rude and turned me away. When this other couple walked and said that the same thing happened to to there brother the man told both of us to leave. The couple suggested another collective, and comfrimed what I knew was right and true, that I had the right papper work.

Posted April 28, 2008

Very friendly folks at Greenway. They often the best selection of meds I've seen in the South Bay.

Posted April 4, 2008

Walk right in and you'll be in the waiting room. You have to fill out paperwork.

Once you get in you'll find a line of large glass cabinets with lots of hash, pre-weighed weed in nicely labeled jars, and plenty of edibles. My visit was quick, so there was probably more than I noticed. I asked to see their best stuff ($65/8th), and I wasn't very impressed with any of them, so I just went with an 8th of what was recommended ($60 - Blueberry Wreak). I also got some Sweet Jane's brownies for $10 each. They took a while to kick in, but they were eventually great. I would buy those again, but not the 8th that I got.

I've talked to another person that was happy with their hash quality/price/selection. They said the recommended stuff isn't always so good, but he liked the weed he got for $45 and his $20 gram of hash.

They didn't rip me off like the last reviewer, or give me that feeling. They're real friendly and official, but just make sure you have everything when you leave.

These caretakers really know how to befriend every customer that comes in to purchase their meds.

They are patient, kind, laid back and users as well. However, the clerks at Greenway ripped me off good and they wouldn't let me check my stuff in my car, I asked for O.G. Kush and this guy sold me an ounce of Brick Mex with seeds and holes in the ziplock baggy.

Patients should go somewhere else untill Salinas gets their dispensary.
