I came back up after I ran out of Jollee, where is the big homie at the door? For a security guard, he is very friendly and never makes me feel like a criminal. The door guy at other places makes me turn around and raise my hands up like it's jail, but not here. That's why SCPC gets my money.

I miss some stuff that this spot had, like Halloween and good lavender or purples. It made me remember why I just ended up getting the jolee from here. I did get a lot of hash, but it was wet and you had to be careful with it or it would turn to oil and turn moldy because it was wet. I took the "FCMD" and was able to work it in my hands and squeeze out a lot of water. That's just bs. What if I had a crappy immune system or cancer? The medicine could kill me then. The powder hash is hit and miss. It could be good, but you just don't know. Because you can't smell it, and if you could smell it it would be from some stuff that has been out all day.

I got my usual and left. The staff was same, trying to be nice. Not sure I'll be back.

Patients beware!!! Unless you like paying for 80% of what you're supposed to get, avoid this place like it was the D.E.A. office!!! Personally, I like to go to places that consistently overweigh their grams, eights, quarters, half's and so on by at least 10%. Do yourself a favor and drive to the Bay area or Sacramento for some real potent and extra heavy deals. They're the only business in town so they will raise prices, short their sacks and their patients because they have no other options, all in a vain attempt to make as much money as they can in a non-profit industry. This is what gives medical cannabis a bad name/reputation. Pretty pathetic.

Some talk down about this place but I love them. Great people, great meds. Remember this is a cannabis club, not Staples or any other big box store so deal with it.

Posted June 18, 2010

Recently went there and they said my doctor was not registered in California, only New Mexico, Yet on line there he is all over Sacramento and LA. I need the edibles but they refused due to the Dr. They even called the referral svc and verified I was eligible but due to Dr I was refused the nice lil Brownies...arrgh

Ok, so I was going to give this place 5 stars, but I guess I'm just very picky. I was visiting from out of town and heard about this place from some friends, so I checked it out. I found their parking lot across the street and then there was a nice guy at the door with some metal detector and stuff. I got verified a lot faster than what I'm used to, and I got a card with them! It seemed clean too, and the girl was wearing a lab coat like a doctor, very professional! In the dispensary they have a lot of strains, all on a board on the wall, and then they have them in jars so you can smell them and stuff on the counters! They gave me a free j of some ok stuff, but they have a whole list of different ones they sell! I bought some crazy jollee extract I heard about, it looks like a broken piece of glass! And some crazy jack herer and a gram of this bomb purple called blue cross! It's like super frosty! Anyways, I'd recommend this club for anyone who wants a chill experience and some bomb, high grade medicine!

Posted May 30, 2010

I went back for more jolee and it seems like they were all trying to be nicer. The door dude is always nice. They lowered prices and some buds looked better this time.

I dunno if I want a rat in the club. Dogs for handicapped only, you know.

Posted May 28, 2010

I used to prefer this dispensary, although they don't give medicine in jars and some of the employees there are pompous, arrogant, or generally know nothing about marijuana or are apathetic about their jobs. Whatever the case, I have found strains there that I enjoy; though they are severely overpriced and overtaxed. The edibles are mediocre at best, and hardly had an affect on me.

The reason I will not be frequenting this dispensary anymore is the fact that I have seen on several occasions people with pets in the facility. I myself had previously brought my pet rat, who sits very calmly on my shoulder at all times. The employees welcomed me as usual and were receptive of the rat and asking questions about him and wanting to pet him. However, when I was doing errands today with my rat, they refused my entrance. When just a week ago, I was there with him and they didn't say a word. They said pets are not allowed in the building.

Posted May 25, 2010

Overpriced, bad service, stuff has the same name but not the same. The other place up the street sucks too. I just come here for the Jolly Rancher now.

Posted April 22, 2010

I came for the 1st time today. I purchased an eighth of what they called OG Kush and it came out to seventy-five dollars. The meds were not bad, but not the best. For this price I could have gotten a quarter ounce of the same meds at another club. I don't think this place deserves my hard earned money.

Posted February 17, 2010

After I was a loyal patient/customer, they thought they could slip me some bunk crap. I told them I was on a budget and need to get by until tomorrow. I asked what was better, a 1/16 of Lavender or the pre-rolls of Lav for 10. I had 30 $ so I got 3 pre rolls because she said they were 1 gram each. Good deal, huh? Nope, becasue the preRolls were not Lavender. Instead they were some outdoor white rhino or something. I know my indica. The girl that runs it hires all her friends and has them dress up so they can rip everybody off. They act like teases. All I know is once I caught them, they took me in the room and tried to yell at me and took my card and said I was rude. I just told them I don't like being ripped off so don't sell stuff and label them, then try to pass bunk medicine.

Posted February 13, 2010

I've been a consistent patient with the SCPC for years now and when I saw all the new dispensaries opening up recently I was relieved on not having to make the commute to Santa Cruz for my medicine! Unfortunately, that was a quick let down when I went to 5 of the San Jose clubs and all were a huge disappointment! I have continued to make the commute, knowing that there will never be a time I will be let down. Prices have even dropped and they have been getting in a lot of price cuts on a weekly basis! So in the end I will say that the SCPC is a place you can be comfortable, timely, spoken to like a real patient, and a huge thing is they operate 100% legally all the way down to the taxes!!! By the way it's a mandatory state law by the board of equalization! This club should be voted for the "model" club for the whole state of California! Thank you SCPC!!!!

Posted February 9, 2010

Now that I've been over the hill I can say, the product here is $5-10 per eighth too expensive. $65 is too high for the quality they carry.

To answer the question why they make a separate card, they make you have a separate card so they can take it away if they want. Watch out for the bait and switch specials. You go in a couple of hours after they open and there are no specials left. Only high end stuff.

One star for the nice doorman and one for the nice people inside and a third star for the nice way they treated me...before the bait and switch thing.

Posted February 3, 2010

All I can say is, Wow. How can you charge $75 for top shelf? The stuff they sell for $50 is crap. It looks like bammer outdoor garbage. I won't come here any more. Sorry, I already destroyed my SCPC card so I can't go even if I'm desperate. Plus, you don't even get price cuts if you buy more, they charge you every penny.

Posted December 27, 2009

Super Rip Off!! This was the 1st club I ever went to, and I only got an 8th which came out to be $75 after tax!! I'm never coming back to scpc EVER again!

Posted December 7, 2009

I don't know what you are all talking about! I just went into the SCPC today and the most average price there was $50 for 3.5g's which are all usually organic indoor soil! High quality meds at that price! They had $35, $40, $45, $50(most of them), $55, $60, & $65 3.5g's bags! Price didn't reflect quality in any way....they had great prices on ounces....starting at $250! There concentrates were on sale...not to mention the amazing Bling SCFM(Santa Cruz Full Melt) I got.......there staff is amazing...they let me stay in there for an hour explaining the strains and helping me with my medical cannabis knowledge! Soooo...to all of you talking crap on this club....i just want to say that i live in San Jose and none of the new clubs here can even touch the experience i have had at the Santa Cruz Patients Collective!!!!!

Posted November 19, 2009

Top quality meds, but very very pricy. Anybody can find something that they will really like, this place has more top notch buds than some places total strain counts but it is costly. I visited them two days ago and they have many, many good strains right now.....tis the season right....Im more of a indica guy but SCPC has great indicas and sativas alike, you really are guaranteed to find something you will really like in the $55 per 1/8 range...plus tax.....like I said, a little pricy

Posted October 27, 2009

Friendly staff with polite security. Top quality buds at top price. They have a huge selection of crip meds. I go back when I want something new. Always try the blueberry of any osw (organic skunk works) stuff. Great hash, good edibles. This is how a club should be run.

Posted October 23, 2009

Friendly and quick, with a varied and heady selection. Only negative was the prices/tax.

Posted September 29, 2009

This place is truly a role model for other dispensaries in the area. Super proffessional, clean, and all the medicine is organic! They may have some pricey stuff but its worth every penny, and they are never rude or have an uncomfortabl atmosphere. I have to say this is definitly a place worth checking out if your in the area! They also hook it up wtih a free joint when you sign up!

Posted September 26, 2009

Very good service, but not real good selection medication.

Posted September 19, 2009

What I do not understand is how an organization so dedicated to legitimacy and staying legal can at the same time continue to charge, for anything even approaching proper medical quality, a minimum price of $55 per eighth, plus tax.

From a practical perspective, once the tax is added, you're looking at a sixty dollar eighth of medicine -- total black market pricing. Although I totally support the SCPC in their rigorous evaluation process and their dedication to keeping things legitimate, at the same time, the continued black market pricing structure (and the obvious profit motives behind these prices) make both the Santa Cruz Patients' Collective and the area's Cannabis movement as a whole look very bad.

No way in hell does it cost that much to grow, people. Rather, patients are getting ripped off so that a certain few can continue with their out of control, bling-bling lifestyles.

Just my two cents' worth. Take it or leave it.

Posted September 9, 2009

The best dispensary I've been to so far! Organic, high-grade medicine can be expensive but you get what you pay for. I have been to a lot of different clubs, but none come close. Very professional and comfortable enviroment. Can't say enough good things! The best!

Posted May 22, 2009

Pretty nice dispensary. Prices are a bit high (I paid 60 + tax so 65 for an 8th of white widow which is pricey when im used to paying 55 tops). I got 2 edibles, one was a cookie (really strong and only 6 bucks) and then i got a cannakrispie (6 bucks and i didn\'t even feel it, no joke). I liked how they have all the bud out in containers and you can just go to town grabbing at them and checking them out. A lot better than having a budtender have to keep going back to grab strains
All in all i thought they were pretty good. I would only visit them if I was in SC. Rather drive to the bay or la for cheap prices.

Posted May 14, 2009

I just moved up from LA and I was very excited to see what the clubs out here are like, and I found very overpriced and very low quality, however very friendly employee's and a nice set up, this did not however make up for a worthless $55 1/8th ("one of the best"). Next time I need my medicine I'm going to LA.

Posted May 6, 2009

Get ripped of by a friendly face! Drive to frisco if you dont feel like overpriced crap.

Posted April 28, 2009

Overpriced-low quality medicine served with a smile...steer clear of santa cruz if you dont like getting ripped off.

Posted April 24, 2009

This was my first time visiting this dispensary. Verification took a little longer than normal but then I discovered that they make you your own i.d. Card with picture. So its understandable. Prices are a little pricey for norcal but they are definitly quality. I got some white widow for 60 and 8th and its really bomb. They also give you a free pre roll i guess when your a new patient. They didn't even tell me, Ii just got home and discovered one in there. I would definitely recommend this club if your in sc.

Awesome selection of medical strains, easily 40+ on the menu at all times ranging from $40 + tax to $60 +tax per 1/8th. Sales from Half gram to Ounce, multiple visits per day, Great edibles, nice selection of hashes, concentrates and full melt bubble hash. Everything is pretty sweet and all is 100% organic which is also nice.

The staff is friendly, polite and treat you with kindness and are willing to answer questions and impart information whenever possible.

The atmosphere is professional and welcoming. Free pre-rolled joint for first time visitors when you get their free ID card (saves time for reentry next time) My favorite club hands down in the Santa Cruz area.

Posted April 4, 2009

Super chill people man. A little pricey and they do charge sales tax but, hey you get what you pay for. Excellent service, great staff, and a professional environment.

Posted March 20, 2009

I have been here a few times and it was great! Awesome service great selection and they are always extremely helpful!

This is the best place in the area, hands down!

Until recently, I had never made the journey to Santa Cruz. This past weekend I took the time to add the Santa Cruz Patients Collective to my list.

Upon entering, a very polite large fellow invited me in, checked my paperwork and asked me to take a seat so that I could be processed. The metal detector was a bit daunting, but I'd rather be safe than?

After a quick intake routine, I was given the rules and a SCPC photo ID so that in the future, I can enter with no delay. Upon entering the dispensary, I found a very light atmosphere with a medical look and feel. The staff were wearing smocks and apparently took their jobs very seriously. I played naive and allowed them to guide me through their elaborate selection.

They offered about 30 varieties. Sizes were from 1 gram to ounces. Unlike many dispensarys, the strains seemed to be for the most part properly named. The quality of their entire line was well above average, and most were organically grown which is very important to me as I have chemical sensitivities.

I was throughly impressed with their extract selection. From the lowly green kief to the ultimate jollee extract. A special mention of their SCFM, a full melt hash that is now my favorite cold water extract bar none!

Their edible line was rather small. I bought one of each and found the mini brownies were as effective as most edibles priced much higher! WOW!

I only purchased three eights, Bubba Kush, Lavender and Jack Herer, and worth every penny. They do charge sales tax, but if they didn't this day and time, they'd be shady. It's the law and the price we all pay to legally obtain our meds.

I was given a nice fat pre-roll for being a first timer and treated more like a friend than a newbie. As I was leaving, I was informed I could return more than once a day. I took them up on the second visit and purchased 6 different edibles, .25 gram of jollee, 1 gram of SCFM, 1 gram of honey bud, .5 gram of Amber Ice, quarter ounce of a lovely outdoor purple erkel, eigth of Train Wreck, and an eigth of Bling.

I have found my new facility for obtaining my meds. A once a month visit to Santa Cruz will be well worth the time and gas if the experience I had is the norm. I'll let you know!

Posted January 2, 2009

This club has never disappointed me, the meds are always top quality, staff is always friendly, doorman is cool, the Lavender and Strawberry Cough are outrageous, very consistent quality with all their strains I've been a member for over a year now and will be as long as they are open, never had a bad visit. Thanks!

Posted December 26, 2008

This was the first time I had been to either of the Santa Cruz Clubs. It took a few minutes to get in and get a picture ID for the club--easier the next time you go--and then walked in to a pharmacy looking room.

Strains and prices on the wall with all the varieties in jars to view and smell. Seemed to have a decent selection--nice edibles and good looking oil. Tried the "Jollee" hash/oil and it is awesome! No need to overdo it on this stuff: it grows in your lungs!

Free joint with your first visit and discounts with quantity purchases. Expensive though! Tax is not absorbed by the store: It is payed by you/us... Good to get some fun stuff and novelties. Not a place to get everyday smoke B'cuzz of the prices...

Posted December 5, 2008

Very courteous and friendly, very helpful with recommendations. Staff are all extremely young, but seem knowledgeable. A bit pricey, but aren't they all? (why are clubs all competing with street prices?). Good selection. Parking is tiny and across the street. Got two free fat joints my first time (it was halloween and they said "Boo!" on them - super cute).

Posted October 15, 2008

This place has a pretty good selection of medicine. The only bad part is the high prices.
Their best meds are the kush and with tax it comes out to $73 for 1/8th thats how much I got a quarter ounce in San Francisco for!!

Their cheap $45/$50 8ths dont even get the job done. I still go here because its just a few lights away from my home, but I wish they would lower their prices.

Posted September 3, 2008

Ok selection. High prices on the buds!! I was looking for olive oil but they didnt have any so i didnt buy anything but they still gave me a free joint for it being my first time there. So that was a plus.

Posted August 12, 2008

As a first-time patient, the whole process of medicinal marijuana was new to me. This group made it easy and pleasant. A very pleasant gentleman (he's one tall dude) screened me at the door and welcomed me to the lounge. A quick interview to produce my club card (so they'll no longer need the doctor's recommendation) and then I was inside the store. The staff there were very friendly and patient in explaining the many choices.

I wish they had more edibles because the cookie was killer.

Posted July 23, 2008

10-15 choices of top quality bud, from 45-55$ 1/8's. Awesome tea, and edibles. Mediocre kief, crazy Jollee hash; unlike any hash I've ever seen, looks like an amber glass, and more potent than honey oil:) I wish i could find more of the stuff. Great staff, very helpful, very unrushed. Funny guard though, seemed spooked. Love this club!

Posted July 2, 2008

High price, no compassion....

Posted May 28, 2008

If you are looking for high grade buds, this is your home. Great selection of high to medium grade. Lowest 1/8 is 50, but great variety of purps and sativa. Have some good edibles, rice crispies and cookies. pretty good hash selection as well. The only reason this club is a 4 star is the fact that they charge tax, but its all in part of legalizing our one and only mary jane.

Posted May 5, 2008

Ugh! A nightmare at times...

Posted April 18, 2008

If you're looking for a comfortable, friendly experience with top-grade medicine, I highly recommend the Santa Cruz Patients Collective.

An associate asked me questions about my condition and offered good advice to what medicine would probably be most effective. Good recommendations. :)

In terms of prices, I feel you get a fair value considering the experience the collective offers. I found they do not offer discounts for larger purchases, but I'm not sure if that is a legal restriction, if not, my only complaint.

Overall, I highly recommend this location to individuals looking for a safe, comfortable and high quality collective.

Park near the red fence with a railroad on the other side, then walk to the street corner of the white building across the street. There is a florescent green cross sign in the window. Walk in, present your cards, fill out paper work, and they call you back to create a new card that is only valid at this dispensary. Next time you just bring ID/license and this new card. Gotta pay $5 if you lose it though. That was the weird part.

Inside the show room are around 20 jars of different 8ths ranging from $45 to $60 PLUS TAX sitting on a cabinet. The menu is on the left wall instead of over the cash registers. They let me have at the jars, and I inspected every single one. The quality to price ratio was pretty good. I liked the weed selection more than Greenway, but not at much as other places I've seen north of San Jose. I wasn't interested in alternative products on this visit, but it looked like they had a small case with a bit of everything, from oils to edibles. A big LCD screen adds everything up with tax before you buy and they take visa/mastercard. They gave me a free pre-rolled joint of the B grade for signing up!! (A $7.50+tax value!)
