BPG, for its small size and un-sexy decor, is an excellent place for a seasoned smoker that knows exactly what they came for. The selection is good and the prices are exactly what I'd expect to pay. A staff member gave me a recommendation once and though it wasn't my favorite, she made a good attempt. This will be my primary shop. read more

This is an update on a review I wrote some months ago. At that time I felt that the vibe in the place was not friendly or joyful. As a result of that review, I was contacted by the owner and she apologized, which I appreciated. Subsequently, I have been there 3 or 4 times and every time the staff has been very friendly and helpful. They have enough staff so that there is little waiting if any at all. So now I'm a fan and it helps that it's 6 blocks from my home.~ read more

While I am grateful for BPG's existence and wish them well, I must report that other dispensaries offer better medicine at better prices. The saddest thing is their failure to offer a Veteran's Discount. I know some of the employees agree. Hopefully, they'll get the message read more

I don't really go to the dispensaries in Berkeley. But I decided to go and check them out last weekend. I used to come here a few years back after playing card down the street. It was a nice quiet place to relax for a short period. So like I was saying, I road my bike down there and locked my bike up. I met a security (some dirty looking white guy mid 20's). He checked my paperwork and everything was fine. I then checked it at the front desk and proceed to walk in the back. I met another security guard (a heavier African-American guy) He told me to sit on the bench and wait my turn. Later he began to cram so many people on the bench that all the people including me elbow to elbow. He then told me to move down a little. Calling me by then name on my shirt. He came of very rude and does not do well talking to people. He needs to remember that the people that come in there are patients and he should treat people with a higher level of respect. I actually saw this guy check in 3 younger guys and tell them " you guys can wait, your young" then let someone come in that he seemed to know basis. I met the bud tender, ( a young Caucasian guy,clean cut, probably the nicest person I met there that day) he was very knowledgeable about the products he sold. I did what I came there to do and started to go outside I walked to my bike and pulled out my phone OUTSIDE. He came up to me and gave me this crazy stare and told me this exactly "don't ever come out here and open your phone" I did not know what to do. Part of me wanted to punch this guy in the face and the other part wanted to talk to his manager. I decided to leave as I am not one to start trouble so I left. What a terrible experience they should be nicer to patients that spent 65 dollars for 3.5 grams of weed. when you could grow that shit very easily. I have never complained a lot a business before so It takes a lot for me to do this. I will never go here again no wonder there lease is up in a few months good riddens. read more

I have came here few times every time seems worst ! Not only is staff and manger rude they have a very bad attitude letting others customers cut in line that me and ten others have been standing in for over 20mins .. PRICE TO HIGH -- TRY CRAIGSLIST PROP215 read more

Screw BPG. You guys sold me moldy weed last time I was there and had the audacity to tell me it's suppose to smell and taste that way. It made me puke. Only moldy bud or stuff doused with chemicals make me puke. And the manager had the audacity to argue with me in front of other patients. I never did go back nor would I ever. Most folks that work here are self entitled jerks. I know my bud and I know mold. Having been a grower, mold was my enemy. What you should have done BPG was not to argue with me and replace what was left of my bud. Or at least apologize and check your stash. I guarantee that same bud got sold to patients who have worse health issues than me. And mine are pretty bad. I can't imagine what that stuff would have done to a cancer patient. I won't take the chance again. read more

I wish I could give them zero stars. My first visit, a LONG time ago, I specifically asked for a Sativa strain, I spent over $50 on an 1/8, went to the lounge, smoked it and realized I ended up with an indica strain. I was NOT happy. I came back after that happened to give this place another shot. I really enjoyed that you can medicate in the lounge. However an unfriendly staff, unknowledgeable budtenders, and some CREEPY CREEPERSONS that hang out there definitely turned me off to this place for good. read more

I truly hate this place, bad customer service, overpriced product, crappy deals, and last time I went they sold me oil which lights on fire when you smoke it. I'll never go back, don't make my same mistake wasting money and time here. read more

This business needs to change it's name to Berkeley Customers Group. They do not respect patients rights or privacy or dignity. Not long ago, they made my partner leave our house (which BPG had delivered to many times before) to take delivery of her medicine on the street. They refused to come to our door, or even up on our porch. BPG insisted that the $300 transaction take place on the sidewalk, like a good old-fashioned drug deal. When I complained, they refused to discuss the matter. They deny that this happens, but I was there. ZERO stars for complete disregard for patient safety, privacy and dignity. Never going back. read more

Good times! I started coming to Berkeley Patients Group 4 years ago, back when they were still remodelling and you could bring a friend inside to hang out in the lounge. They have really done a great job with upkeeping the property, being very professional, and making it a safe place to go. I took a year long sabbatical and it was nice to see some old faces when I came back, not many, but they're still there. The staff is friendly and informative. There is an excellent selection of medication available - inlcuding edibles - and the prices aren't as bad as other places I've been to. They've just recently upgraded the white board to a projector so they can easily track inventory. The lounge now has volcanos available at the tables, instead of behind the accessory counter where you'd have to stand there and intake as much as you could before falling over so that the next person in line could have their turn. They have an awesome community base with events every month. Not to mention the healing artists that provide massage and other healing modalities. Timing is everything and most Fridays are super busy. I'm fortunate enough to have many of my days available so I can make the trek from Fremont without much hassle. What can I say, I'm quite the loyal patron! Cool things - 1. The lounge. Meet up with friends or make new ones. They always have fresh fruits and/or cookies to munch on, teas and water too! Take the time to check out the quilt that was made with love by some of the more crafty members. 2. Rewards card. You get what I like to call 'christmas' points that acumulate and allow you to get a free eighth or money towards your next purchase if you can't wait for the credits to build up. Personally, I like to save them until I can get a $60 eighth. Also, buy 4 eighths and recieve 10% off your total. 3. They often carry organic strains, which is always a + in my book. The Downer - 1. You have to have a valid doctor's perscritpion and membership card to enter. This isn't so bad, as they run a professional and tight ship and who needs to deal with shenanigans when coming here? So get a card and check it out! 2. Clones!?! They used to have a very lovely selection of beautiful plants to take home, sadly no more. This leads me to ... 3. Seeds! WTF!?! I just cannot bring myself to pay the crazy amount they charge for their seeds. It's not worth it unless you are a green thumb - not aspiring or I do this for a hobby, either. Is it just me or are they just insanely over priced? I'm very thankful for the wonderful community they have created and the good times that I've had there - and when I've gotten home! read more

I'd never been to a dispensary before this. It was clean and very well organized, and there is parking and the staff are very friendly and helpful. read more

I did not first understand how BPG could have such a mediocre rating considering how nice and clean the property is. After visiting several times I have found it just not have a very ambiance, less connected to me as a patient than most dispensaries I frequent. My girlfriend bought a cartridge there recently and took it back to have it replaced. She was given a cartridge with no threads to facilitate attachment to an OpenVape vaporizer, and when she noticed it at home, there was no accommodation offered but to have her turn around and burn gas, time, car wear and tear, to replace it a SECOND time. BPG obviously has enough patients! We will be taking our business elsewhere. read more

Always Great service and always a great product.A great referral program so use my name when you order the first time for an added discount!

I first acquired my medical recommendation a couple of months ago and this was the first dispensary I went to. Since then I have been to clubs all around the bay but this remains one of my favorites. Great selection of any kind of cannabis product you can want. Plenty of great top, mid, and low shelf options. On top of that the budtenders are always very professional and seem to enjoy their job and helping patients. Security is nice too, which can't be said about every club. Would highly recommend going here if you haven't yet and are considering doing so. read more

BPG is an extremely respectable Prop 215 establishment offering full access to all sorts of holistic approaches to therapy. That's one of the things that touched me about the place. The staff in there aren't just regular "employees" working for a check; quite the opposite. I've seen repeatedly these staff go out of their way to assist patients with whatever they need. They are all kind, curteous, and professional. This is one of those places; drop by and check out what I'm talkin about. Not only that, they have the BEST array of cannabis options for any budget. I've noticed that the staff are great at recommending strains to customers, and have thier collective shit together when it comes to explaining WHY some strains have certain effects, and are pretty skilled at narrowing down the search for people who are unfamiliar with the shop's capacious inventory. I've been to shops where you got a sales clerk who figures everyone just wants the "stoniest" or whatever, not ever recommended based on what the customer wants and how it relates to their own experiences with the strain. To me, BPG is so good, that it would have to be like the last place the DEA could substantiate enforcing federal scheduling law over. Starting to love the fences around here. . . There's no way they couldn't see the forest for the trees, so to speak ;-). And I suppose it would serve as an example of that kind of "civilized marijuana slangin'" to those rabid DEA guys! I've seen other shops, tried a wide variety of strains, and I kept coming back here because I think these people are doing medical marijuana like it should be done. Obama's new stimulus package should hopefelly include some avenues to get medical marijuana some more visibility within medical communities further out than California. The West is the Best; but we definitely need to give our knowledge of what is good about, or what HAS worked for people, to be useful to a lot of other people who just don't have geography on their sides, for fuck's sake. It'll be interesting to see if they're gonna push up there in the ivory towers; but I think if it would have been done, it would have been done durin' the Bush administration, so thank god Fuck Face is out of office. My prediction: There's gotta be good karma keeping things running nice n' smooth......Reefer Madness! read more

Overpriced buds and rude staff! this place is all about corporate and not about compassion. Their top shelf is waaaay overpriced at 65+tax AND I highly believe that they shake their buds to sell the keif. Notice how none of their buds are frosty--unlike places in Sacrameto and San Francisco. I say stay away from this place--the staff has to wear silly t-shirts anyways. suckas! read more

I've been shopping here for probably close to 10 or 15 years tonight is definitely the Last time I will be coming here. First of all their prices are absolutely ridiculous and by far the most expensive in the bay area you can go there and buy something for $30 and by the time they add on top all their ridiculous charges you're spending $45-$47 they can claim whatever they want about how they have to add those charges but I can tell you with 100% certainty that none of the other places I go and none of the other places that I order delivery from charge those ridiculous prices also upon entering the front door tonight one of their short extremely rude employees almost knocked me over trying to come out of his work saw me standing there after he hit me with the door looked at me like I was crazy and didn't even say excuse me or sorry just a total douche bag. I went in the store but because of what had happened I walked out and I will never be back. I can't believe that he was raised like such an animal that he would hit somebody with a door and not even acknowledge them or say excuse me. This place used to be great but unless do you like dealing with rude employees and spending most of your paycheck on the same exact shit that you can get anywhere else for cheaper and it's literally cheaper to have a delivered then it is to go here I'd recommend going elsewhere. Their selection also sucks anytime I go here they say we're out of this we're out of that.. also the last time that I came here I mentioned that I like strawberry cough and the fact that It actually tasted like strawberries and the dude made a passive aggressive joke about it that was just awkward and rude. Lastly about two months ago I bought a battery to use for Vape cartridges that of course was way overpriced but I was desperate because the place I usually buy them was closed. The battery worked for about three days and they didn't even offer replacing it or returning my money so I had no choice but to throw it away and go buy a new one. Also be prepared to wait half an hour even if there's only one or two people in front of you because they are going to have about 10 employees walking around doing nothing and only one at the counter helping. Read all of the recent one into star reviews this place has gone to shit. read more

I have been a patient for over 10 years- even at the previous location. Idk what the deal was yesterday 4/23/18 but I was treated like shit, boo boo, bammer- gum on the bottom of a shoe. I spent nearly $200 on some cartridges and the budtender was really rude to me. I am sorry to see that after January 1, BPG's service has taken a dramatic change for the worst. I get that more people are buying, but it would be cool to be treated like a human after a decade and thousands of dollars spent. I'll be taking my business elsewhere. You obviously don't need/want me as a customer anymore. read more

Hands down, the greatest place to get medicine in the entire bay area.. This is the only dispensary that I regularly come to and for good reason. The weed is good, the atmosphere is safe and relaxing, and they have the dankest coffee I've ever tasted. The medicine is good, their top shelf strains are out of this world but are a little pricey. they have eighths starting at 10 dollars as well!!! The 10 dollar eighths are better some days and shitty other days but hey I can't really argue that price!! The people working there are awesome; the security, the receptionists and most of the budtenders are all wonderful. I would like it if they educated their bud tenders on their medicine more though... They have a great selection of concentrates and edibles and their menu changes what seems like daily. Great fucking job guys we need more like this!! read more

My first time at a medical dispensary and it was a very good experience. Everyone was friendly and helpful and the environment did not sketch me out. It was busier than I thought it would be at that time of day but I was not in a rush to get anywhere so I did not find the wait unbearable. Got a nice gift as a first timer also. read more

These guys used to be the best in the east bay, however every time I have been there recently they have an unimpressive high grades that are also way too highly priced and to top it all off I have not been here one time where I did not have to wait in two separate lines for at least a combined time of 20 minutes, before being helped. The staff is completely snooty and not really knowledgable enough to back it up. The guy who works security with the long hair and the tats is hella cool and has been working there as long as I have been a patient which was January of 2000, there are a few other staff exceptions. For the most part I get this "wannabe rock star" attitude from a lot of the employees. read more

Went here last night to get some medication and keep in mind im very picky with my medicine. I was assisted by Chuck who was very knowledgable about his clinics products. He was very polite and i could tell he was patient and wasnt trying to rush me. He even let purchase a concentrate that i wanted instead of an edible that i didnt want and did the swap after the transaction was already done which i thought was nice. Definately coming back! read more

Prices are a bit higher than most east bay stores. But it's clean, not dark and dank. It has an express line and a longer line. They didn't rush me. Explained everything and even made some suggestions. The quality of the product was really good. However, they sold me a wax that was horrible. But maybe the sales woman liked it. I thought it taste like rubbing your tongue on a toilet pipe. But each his own. read more

Great club! They just put in an Epic Gardens clone rack and these things are huge!

I'm sure theirs clubs out there with better weed for slightly better prices. but i love this club. when the lines aren't to long it doesn't take long at all and they have stuff in every price range thats usually worth it for the price if not better. most of the staff are cool to so yes to bpg read more

LOVE IT HERE. A very secure, friendly and safe place to buy my meds. Great selection of top shelf, but let me tell you about their lower priced deals. Who can beat a $25 8th of decent goodness though? They have lower priced 8th's that go down to $10-- but who the hell wants mexicali leaves? Not I! read more

Even though Berkeley has lower cannabis taxes (which BPG proudly displays on their website) they actually jack up their prices to make up the difference. Incredible gall. It's actually cheaper to buy in Oakland even though the tax rate is lower in Berkeley. Thanks BPG and the Berkeley city government. Great job. read more

I've visited dispensaries in several states and several in the Bay Area and I definitely prefer BPG. Quick to get in and out, easy parking, great selection, good deals and their customer service is outstanding. My favorite dispensary. read more

The best in the business by far , from top to bottom total professionals, i've seen a lot of places without buying total waste of time.

Great prices! anything from nice $15 eighths to top shelf ounces. Great website! I just got some delivered, and I godda say, BPG has the best medicine and the nicest delivery people! The guy showed up early, was super professional, and very nice. Thanks BPG! read more

To be honest, BPG is damn near perfect except for their bud quality. A lot of their "All Star" strains are fersure not heavy hitters. I bought a 10$ gram of Purple from another club in Oakland that hit harder than their 16$ gram grandaddy purple. A lot of their bud is outdoor and not very strong, although occasionally you will get a huge heavy hitter. I come here because of the awesome environment/smoking lounge and their huge menu and edibles. Feels like a YMCA for weed, it is always super cracking in there with tons of people. However, if I went to get ripped on a weekend night, I would have to go and get bud from the city or a place in Oakland. Occasionally carries the heavy hitters but most of their bud is not that strong, but their prices, huge selection, smoking lounge make up for it in my opinion. They got the best edibles/selection in the Bay however. If you want heavy hitting Hash or potent frosty flowers, this is not the place unfortunately, well sometimes it is. -Mike. read more

Door man was kind and helpful. Front desk receptionist not so much (infact its what keeps me from giving this place 5 stars, she was rather rude to say the least) Everyone else was fantastic and kind/helpful Pros: can medicate on site and spend two hours doing so. There are volcano vaporizers set up for everyone to use in the sampling/medicating area. There is a small but decent selection of clones (all appeared to be good size and healthy green leaves) ranging from the likes of OG kush, Purple kush, Grand Daddy Purple, Skunk, etc. It always changes as does the actual medication. They have dried flowers (buds), extracts, edibles, pre rolls as well as other various items. They have price ranges to fit everyone's budget from $5 a gram all the way up to $20 a gram. Good range of meds. at least 3-4 dozen different varieties on hand. all the dried flowers appeared to be of good quality. no moldy/rotten meds that i seen. They do have an express line. Wait was only about 3-4 minutes for me in the middle of a busy day. They also have vaporizers and smoking devices for sale as well. Its pretty much a one stop shop as i didnt notice anything they don't have that the average joe would want. The place was clean, I felt safe, wide range of people who appeared to be normal upstanding citizens. Not a shady place in the least. Lots of cameras for added comfort and security. Almost everyone in the building was all smiles from staff to patients. As you walk in the door you're greeted with a wonder marijuana scent. I WILL return to this place for years to come. Its well worth the wait. You have to pay attention when you drive down the street or you'll miss the turn as there are not huge signs indicating what the place is. its easier to find by looking for the address (2747) as its written in big letters on the gate. only other complaint is meds are given in a plastic bag which can smell and not be good if you intend to drive home with your purchase so my advice is to bring a jar or bottle to put your meds in after purchasing. Its nice that they come in a bag with a sticker that says how much it is (in grams) and what strain it is. Overall 4.5/5.0 my only suggestion is to get rid of asian/filipino lady running the front desk and provide smell proof bags. read more

We live in FAR East Contra Costa County and these people still delivered to us!! Driver was great...very patient and very discrete. Plus, the product is nice too! read more

I love this place! They always have good deals and have the best price for the o.pen vape cartridges. Raymond just recommended some potent medicine and it was as great as he said. All the staff is very friendly and always helpful. I come here 3-4 times a week. read more

Great flowers. Safe friendly location. Super fast delivery!! I'm all about customer service and this place is top 5 in my book. The staff is patient but still efficient. read more

One of the best collectives in the area when i come to Berkeley! Always have the best meds and great bud tenders!

One the best clubs this side of the bay. They have the best varieties for growing, smoking, or eating. They have a nice facility the workers are nice and friendly. If your in Berkeley and a club member this club is a can't miss you won't be disappointed. read more

I just started using their new delivery service and I love it! It's so easy and convient! You just go online and look at their menu and select what you want, place your order and within a short time you get a phone call scheduling a delivery time! My delivery came early and the product was identical to what you usually get at the dispensary! All of the bpg staff was super nice and helpful as usual. I really hope they ghetto open again at a different location, but I am definitely pleased with this service until then! thank you bpg! read more

Not a bad place been coming here for a bit now the high end buds not wut they should b alot of da bud they got for 20 to 40 is better most of da time the all star trust me not worth it save your money still one of the best cans n da east bay by the way There staff doesn't all ways no wut their talking about seems like most of the time just trying to say wut ever just to get u in n out over all still not bad read more

Horrible place . Asked when they would be offering clones ( dark heart nursery ) they had no idea as if they haven't been offering and working with that company for multiple years. And then expected me to call DHN and find out myself. Ridiculously not helpful and pure lazy. For people that don't live 4 minutes down the road 90% of growers. They expected me to make a 5 hr round trip on the idea they might have what I need but no idea for sure. Seems like lack of management , laziness, poor communication , and overall not giving a fuck about their patients. Go anywhere else don't support these frauds . read more
