At first glance this place looks amazing . Parking is somewhat of a hassle. BPG's volume of products are alright, they have good quality medicine but a little in the high side. Went in there to get an OZ (zip), budtender was rude and needs to go back to customer 101 classes. The budtender a (20 year old) spent most of the time talking to co-worker next to him than me and keep in mind I'm spending 350 or plus. I even mention it was my first time but he continued to act in his typical power trip. The quality of my zip would be $250 or more anywhere else, at BPG its $309 plus tax. talk about over priced. At any dispensary I would have gotten a free brownie for purchasing a zip or being a first time customer. Guess what I didn't get any. So in the end I went to BPG and those pricks bent me over for $327 dollas. Never again. The only reason i gave them 1 was because the check in lady was nice and sweet. read more

I am new to the medical cannabis world, and greatly appreciate friendly and knowledgeable staff. I definitely found it here. They have a good selection of edibles, topicals and tinctures - the lady in line behind me also raved about their buds. I as looking for something for arthritis pain and the staff was able to give me a few options. read more

BPG is a place I've always had mixed reviews about.... having used their services and products for about 4 years now I felt that it's time to share my experiences. When I first got my medical paperwork back in 2009, BPG was among the first clubs I visited when they were still at their old location. There and at the new location, BPG has struck me as having some of the best variety of buds, concentrates, edibles and clones of almost ANY club I've been to in the Bay Area. And as a broke college student, this was and still is my go-to spot for picking up incredibly good medicine for the price point. For example, on any given day they have eighths ranging from $10 (shake) - $60 (top shelf), usually going up by $5 increments; I'm constantly impressed by the quality of their $25-35 eighths - some of the medicine I've gotten for that price would easily sell for $40-50 at other clubs in the area (I'm thinking of CBCB in particular). Additionally, their concentrates usually range from $10-50 per gram, and they often have hash oil for as cheap as $15/gram (!!!) that is the same quality as a $40 gram. They are also one of the only clubs in the area that I know of that has both an in-store pickup and a delivery service. Their delivery service has never been late on delivery, and they take either cash or credit - on 4/20 this year I was able to get my order within 2 hours which was pretty impressive. Delivery requires a $50 minimum. Now for the downsides: unfortunately, the well-priced $25-35 dollar eighths are not always in stock, and sell out very quickly as they are among their best selling medicine. Additionally, sometimes their stock in general can be pretty lacking in variety/price, though this is rarely the case. Their edibles run on the pricey side, especially for the drinks, although they are quite tasty. Sometimes the budtenders have a little bit of attitude, but my experience with clubs has led me to believe that this is a general quality characteristic of most budtenders even at the most respected clubs like Harborside or Sparc. My last issue is that since moving to their new location, you can no longer smoke in the store. At their previous location (a few block further down San Pablo), you could rent out waterpipes, rolling papers, grinders, and my favorite, Volcano Vapes. While this is not an essential function of a well-operated club, I still miss the stoney vibes of the older location - by comparison, the newer one seems much more sterile, "professional" oriented and sometimes I can't help but feel that I'm being rushed through the line. Regardless, solid club overall, especially if you're lazy like me and prefer the convenience of delivery services without any delivery fees. read more

This is the best club I've been to out of them all. It really does serve the needs of patients rather than just being a place that sells pot. BPG truly is in it for all the right reasons. They have classes, events, products, info on how to get involved with the cause, vaporizers you can use on site, a nice lounge area, snacks, awesome workers, and FREE CONDOMS...haaaay! They really do an amazing job and I love the diversity of their patient base. I always have great, friendly conversations with the other patients and staff and always leave happy with my experience. The bud-tenders really know their stuff and are always able to help me choose a strain depending on my pain level and type. They have an amazing selection of strains with prices almost anyone can tailor to their wallet, a points card system where you rack up points with each purchase which can be later redeemed for product or donated to other patients in need, a lot of edibles/drinkables to choose from, and nice pipes, books, and other accoutrements for sale at the store. The best part is that they accept bank cards. I know some people don't like to be traceable, but I personally don't give a shit about Big Brother and find this a very convenient service. I always leave with a handful of free condoms, a complimentary cup of coffee or tea, a plate of snacks, quality product, and the good feeling that BPG is in it for all the right reasons and providing a great service to the community of medical marijuana users in a safe and warm environment. Happy 4/20, everyone! read more

Their prices and taxes are ridiculously HIGH! No pun intended. The parking lot is also very awkward

First of all, I really, really wish that BPG would update their menu on here. Please! Decent selection of bud. The quality of the bud that they did have was very nice. They have multiple Volcano Vaporizers on site available for use FREE. That's a HUGE plus in my book. I can buy a gram, test it out before I leave and if I like it, buy an OZ before I go. Win-WIN! read more

I've been to a few dispensaries in the area and BPG offers a wide variety of whatever you're looking for. The place is clean and professional and they have two different waiting lines. Express line if you know what you want and a full service line to talk with a budtender about your needs. A note on their staff: Their budtender are great and will give you detailed recommendations if you're confused or just starting out. If the budtender is short with you or trying to get you out fast, consider that they do need to keep the line moving and you may come off as a customer who already knows what they want. Also, if you're disabled you always go to the front of the line! :) I've also used their delivery service and it was great. The only minor hiccup was that the credit card machine was down due to storms. I had to go get cash from my nearest atm otherwise I would have had to abandoned my order. read more

The staff here is a complete joke. The bud tenders are always in a bad mood. Everything in this club is overpriced. Save yourself a trip and go to a dispensary that at least pretends to care about their patients. Bpg gets a big thumbs down read more

Thanks BPG for a great 420 Celebration, appreciate the Hospitality, free Bag of goodies, and the Coffee, waters and Fruit . Love your establishment !! read more

Berkeley Patients Group - 420 - 2017 - Cannabis Clinics Near Me - Berkeley, California

See all

Four stars for Berkeley Patients' Group They have a huge selection of bud. Probably the largest in Berkeley. Their prices for bud ranges from $5 grams up to $18 grams. I won't list every price, but they generally increase in increments of $2 per gram (5, 7, 9, etc.). This means outdoor, low shelf, top shelf, and everything in between. Their "All-Star" selection is their top shelf, and they always smoke well and smell stinky. As Amir B. said in a review below me, they do seem very sativa heavy here. Often I've walked in, looking to purchase a gram of their "all-star" selection, but four out of five are straight sativa strains. Maybe one or two sativa-dominant hybrids, but they seldom carry a huge amount of "all-star" indica strains. Unfortunate for a indica fiend such as myself. However, I'm sure they do have a wider choice of indica strains if you look at the lesser expensive choices. They have a great selection of concentrates. They ranges from $10 up to $50. And, of course, this varies on the type of concentrate you're trying to purchase. The wax will be generally up towards $50, while their kief/hash is a little cheaper. I've purchase a $10g hash, the strain I don't remember, but it almost felt bunk. Weak and underwhelming. But I also I recently purchased a few grams of their Sour Diesel h20/cold water hash, and it gets me pretty damn faded. I've also had their $50g Sour Diesel wax. It's definitely potent, but it may have been because I took 5 dabs within a few minutes.... Great variety of edibles. Soda, Butter Brothers, Bhang Chocolate, and some other stuff I have yet to try. I think it would be safe to say that they have one of the largest edible menus in Berkeley. They also carry clones, shirts, hats, and basically whatever a patient might be interested in. I do not have much experience with clones or purchasing gear, so I won't comment much on those. And yes, they do have a lounge in which you can use a Volcano vaporizer for free, or smoke using any other method you like. I haven't taken advantage of this yet, however, 'cause I don't have any buddies with a medical card! Oh well. Why only four stars? - Tax NOT included in prices - Absolutely nothing listed on the WeedMaps menu Given that this is Berkeley, and numerous places cover the massive 12.5% Berkeley medical marijuana sales tax, I wish BPG would follow suit strictly from a compassion standpoint. They do implement a "rewards card" system in which you can get a little bit back after a number of purchases, but it requires that I return to them again and again to get my savings. I'd prefer short-term gains, sorry to say. Their menu is huge, so I don't expect them to put it all on WeedMaps, but tons of Frisco dispensaries do just that, and I would like to see even just a portion of their menu on the website. Like I stated previously, I'm more of an indica guy, so you can imagine my repeated heartbreaks when realizing they're not carrying that many "all-star" indica strains. Overall, this is a great dispensary. Their selection, for everything, is huge. Prices are fair and flexible to fit most budgets. Definitely a club worth returning to regardless of my personal quips about the menu and tax. read more

1 star: painless and decently quick first visit 1 star: HUGE selection of everything 1 star: friendly staff, INCLUDING security guards 1 star: bonus lighter and small edible for first visit -1 star: slightly higher prices (+%10-15 elsewhere), staffer that helped me didn't know a whole lot about anything, but was friendly and quick. *good little club, great options from sexy looking clones to CBD flowers and lots of oils read more

I'm sorry to report that after over 15 years of being a loyal customer that I won't be returning. I purchased an xl indica cartridge last fall, discovered it was defective, called bgp. I was thorough - explained that I was there that afternoon and I unfortunately purchased a cartridge that was defective. I was assured - don't come back tonight - no need - come back whenever, you don't need the receipt (hv it on my phone anyway bc my bank acct shows all transactions) I go in yesterday w the unused cartridge and tell the bt (bud tender) my deal - it's clear this thing had never been used - he explains they stopped selling them 4 months ago and that no warranty will be extended- ok I say - how about a discount on my purchase? NO - I hope the owners read this bc let be perfectly clear - that's bs - the guy was aggressive - asked to speak to a manager and he said - I MAKE THE DECISIONS HERE - The security guards were waaaay cool and encouraged me to post - said the owners will want to know about this pls post - so I am - sucked ass and I deserve better bc I'm not a liar and I did what I was told to read more

This is my go to for consistency in great service and great product. They took all the recent changes on with grace and professionalism. Their herb is clean, local, and sustainable from all I've seen and tested. I had a bad accident last year and their products kept me off pharma pain killers. Definitely pre order if you can, makes it so much easier. read more

I have never been disappointed with my experience at BPG. If I know what I want, I get in express lane. I brought my elderly aunt who is also a patient and they treated her very well. I appreciate BPG. I've also gotten delivery from them before and it worked out very well. read more

Been coming to BPG for a while now. Great place if your on a budget and have a trusty vaporizer at the pad. The top shelf is good but a bit pricey. There mids hit hard sometime, then other times not so much. Everything seems to look like outdoor quality. Cool place to get your vape on or roll one up there, it can get a bit packed in there but they keep the lines movin movin! I have come across some dirt cheap 8ths that were pretty good. Its more like hit or miss in there. I go there for the Chron tons cant beat that. They have a good selection of concentrates there, I always load up on my keif and hash there. parking can be a jam but like i said hit or miss. I gave it my 4 stars because regardless of the quality, Ive been a loyal customer for sometime now. BPG does the job for me. Great for folks on a budget, but remeber you get what you pay for there literally. Keep up the good job BPG!!!! read more

Too bad they lost their facility, it was a good place, although very expensive when compared to other clubs in the Berkeley and Oakland area. I got a delivery from BPG once, and the quantity seemed a little light. Unfortunately I wouldn't put it past their delivery drivers from taking a "delivery fee" from each of the customers' bud as there is nothing preventing them from getting inside the bags before handing them to me. I haven't ordered delivery since... read more

UPDATE: a associate reached out to me to apologize for this incident, which I really appreciated. She explained that they had been having trouble with their computer system, which resulted in some errors and stressed out employees. They've apparently sorted out the bugs, and service has been better the last couple of times I've went. They can have decent specials and inventory, but service is generally terrible. I had a bad experience recently after an employee overcharged me. It took about 3 employees and ten minutes to fix the error, which would be fine normally -- except each person who helped me acted compleannoyed by the situation. I worked in customer service for 15 years and I understand mistakes happen. I also understand that a simple apology and patient attitude can go a long way... read more

So a 5 because of their selection and cool bud vendors. but 1 star cause of their security. 3: My first experience there today was very mixed. Good bud vending but the security treated me like I was a suspect. I get in the express line because I already know what I want and I have my first time slip in my hand. The black woman security guard says " you know you're in the express line right?" I says "yea" Her: "Did you read the sign when you got in line?" I reiterate "yea..." as I'm being looked up and down. I continue to say " is there a problem?" Her: "Do you know what I want?" the whole time her body language being very condescending like a wanna be toy cop, chin up looking down on me over the crest of her nose with the Top Gun ray bans, hands at her hips stern and squarely facing me with legs at-east position. Now out of context it might sound like she's trying to start drama, but we're in a bud store so she's referring to the express line being that people already know what they want to buy without having long drawn out conversations with the bud vendors. She assumed I didn't because this is my first time and took on a hard core authoritative demeanor. I say: "Yea I already looked at the menu online and came down here for a strand I wanted to try here..." and I'm still talking to her while she is trying to ignore me and point me to the bud vendor bar like I need her permission to disengage in conversation with her. All in all everything else was cool. But the security guard incident made the biggest impression on me and I don't think I will be coming back. They have a big selection but they are strands from growers who also sell to other vendors so if you know what you want and look for where to get it around the same cultivating phase you're more likely to get the same thing (difference in post vendor storage methods might change some things). I can get Platinum OG hybridized with Girl scout cookie to get Platinum Cookies anywhere in the bay. I'm sorry BPG... one bad apple. edited === BTW I think some patience smoke medicinal because they have paranoia and such.... this is not the type of security guard I want to be dealing with while I'm waiting in line for such medical ailments. read more

This used to be my favorite collective. There was plenty of parking, you can medicate right there, and they had board games and Coffey, tea, etc, for you to just spend a bit of time, before driving anywhere under the influence. Now that so many clubs have opened up in San Jose, we don't make the trips up north as often as we used to. So since we were in SF, we decided to hop on the bridge and drive over to Berkeley to visit our favorite club. Wow, so much has changed since we last went. They remodeled, so it looks nicer inside. However, the tables are all up against the wall now, so you can sit and use their volcano, but you can't hang out and play board games, etc anymore. The schedule said "body work" at the time we were there, but we didn't see any masseuse onsite. It's not longer a cute little "date" spot for us. I guess we're better off grabbing a sack and just taking it out to the beach for our dates now. :( +1 star for being dog friendly! read more

It was my first time here today, and the staff was super friendly, from the guard up front, the lady who checked me in, to the dude who helped me pick my meds. One thing I noticed was that this place was way bigger than some of the dispensaries I've been to so far. They had a big white board in the back as their menu the strains they currently had. When I went in today around 6:45 PM (they were closing at 7), their top-grade was All-Star Romulan for $60 w/tax. I picked up an eighth of some stuff called Goosh and some Jack Herer. Both sativas. Both really good. They had a bunch of edibles (a good variety) and hash/kif. I think they also had some cheap schwag/bammer called El Bueno, but no thanks on that one. Anyway, like I said, the dude up front on the register was very friendly and gave me a quick rundown since I was new to the place. The tax sucks (thus the -1 star), but they do have quite a variety of meds to offer. The set-up of their back room reminded me of like a donut shop because all of the meds were behind a glass display case like a donut shop or jewelry store. Anyway, it's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. read more

Let me be the first to incriminate myself......Awesome! Best assortment,most knowledgeable group of people dispensing and overall, just a cool community and community center.They offer yoga,massage,acupressure and other therapies of sorts and free! read more

BPG has a strong inventory of medicines, edibles, waxes, and clones. They have a wide range of prices and the medicine is of decent quality, though some buds include some primary leaves and aren't manicured all that well. Business wise, I appreciate this place. They seem to understand how to operate a business that can truly cater to a wide range of customers. It is further away from the triangle than most of the places I have bee to, so the quality is not up to Mendo standards (or else I would give it a 5). However, I was pleased with what I got, especially when I factored in how much I paid! By the way, I loved the "Bruce Banner". read more

a neat and a really cool club, they let you smoke weed inside the club, they got bongs and volcanos to use for free. The staff was really cool. This black guy working there was totally stoned. It looked like he was some kind of asian african mix. But he was a real cool guy. They you had to stay in a line to get your meds. This place is pretty crowded, so its gonna take sometime to get the meds. At the counter, the employee was sort of patient, did not show any sign of rudeness. They let me touch and smell whichever strain i wanted to look at. Even their bud is good quality, great stuff , lots of selection. The real down point of it is the price, BPG you guys really need to lower your prices. This place is too expensive. They charge like 60$ without tax for an eighth of high quality bud, now any old marijuana patient would know a cheaper price elsewhere for the same quality of bud. If it is strictly to purchase the buds, i would reccommed cannabis clubs in san francisco and oakland. read more

They have some employees whom abuse their positions . I and several patients have been personal singled out for intimidation by a certain individual who works there. This is supposed to be a place where you can relax, de-stress and medicate. All too often I feel anxious and uncomfortable there. If I didn't have a lot of friends who go there I would not frequent BPG. read more

This is the only place I'll go to. It's efficiently run, intelligently laid out, and features a good assortment of medications. I particularly like the edibles. Particular faves are the maple nut caramels and brownies. I've read some complaints on the security people's attitudes but haven't experienced a single problem. In fact, there are two that I'll take the time to spend a few moments with before going in. Where long waits are concerned, I don't usually encounter them since I do try to show up very early and it doesn't seem to be a problem. Important thing here is that I can't remember a single bad experience since I began coming here a year ago. That speaks well for them. read more

So I got an email from BPG entitled, "Exciting Improvements to Your BPG Experience!" and saying that they now have a medical line separate from the recreational line -- implying that medical patients can get in and out faster. So I went to BPG only to find of course, that nothing could be further from the truth! Sure enough, what used to be the pick up and express line is now the medical line (the front desk is the pick up point now). The recreational line was very long, and the medical line had six people in front of me. But it turns out that the medical line has second priority to the recreational line -- I waited as half a dozen people who arrived after I did were served before me. If I had known, I would have gone elsewhere. More importantly, why the fuck are prices higher since recreational sales went into effect? -- and don't say taxes, because on top of ridiculous taxes that guarantee a healthy black market in which high school kids and younger can get their pot cheaper than law abiding adults, the base price of flower has risen significantly. It's my understanding that before Jan 1, dispensaries stockpiled tons of pot at bargain basement prices, so why does BPG need to raise prices, now that volume is through the roof? Because BPG is a total bullshit moneygrab, that's why! Anything they say or imply about customer service or serving the community is hogwash. They have one of three licenses to sell pot (print money) in Berkeley and they act as if they provide a service, when in fact, they benefit from a city government enforced monopoly on west Berkeley. That Berkeley should be limited to three dispensaries is crooked as fuck and that should be changed, because Berkeley shouldn't be propping up such bad operators. But if there are only three licenses, there should be some reasonable expectation of the license holders. I clicked the link in the email to complain, and surprisingly it took me to yelp, where I've complained before. So here you go bpg! At your request I'm here the third time to tell you how you're doing: NOT GOOD! You charge too much money and act as if you're entitled to get rich, because you spent so much effort getting rich over the last 20 years. I'm going to complain to the city. Because, so what if y'all have been here since 1998? You've come so far from Jim McCelland's compassionate vision, that you no longer deserve your license! It's time for Berkeley to oust bpg and let a truly compassionate organization take over the license. And while they're at it, they ought to allow a few more players on the scene, as three dispensaries is not enough -- especially since Berkeley is increasing its population so much with these awful tall apartment buildings. FWIW, I have no professional affiliation with any dispensary or organization involved in pot business, nor with any entity that would like a dispensary license in Berkeley. I'm just a lifelong Berkeley resident that is fed up with bpg and wants change. If you're looking for a place to buy pot, try somewhere other than bpg, unless you dig waiting in long lines to pay through the nose for nothing special product. read more

This place has a great variety and veteran & senior discounts. They always mean well and sometimes have deals!

Been a regular here for a couple years. When I first started coming here they got 5 stars, but over time the selection has really gone down. And with so many clubs opening up everywhere this place isn't really competitive on pricing. But, it's 2 minutes away, the grading system makes sense, and there is something for every budget. The edibles are pretty good here. This place's biggest redeeming quality is the express lane. So easy and always saves me so much time! read more

I recently purchased clones from here and there were no roots! I asked for a refund and the guy basically tols me ...too bad so sad cuz I had them reserve them for me? And good luck with my grow? I wont have one cuz you gave me clones at $40 a piece and they are not going to grow! WILL NEVER EVER BUY A CLONE FROM HERE AGAIN! I boight 4 so I'm out almost $200 and I live on a fixed income. Thats why I wanted to grow my own medicine. SHAME ON YOU BPG!!! I THOUGHT YOU WERE FOR THE PATIENTS? read more

Fast and friendly. Helpful budtender. Nice selection. Got everything I wanted at the price point of my budget. Very Happy.

This is the place to go! The experienced staff were not so ripped that they could not talk (like at HBHC) and they actually helped me based on my need and the other "legal" medications I am taking! The prices are some of the best and there is always a great deal of something good. Overall this is well run and well staffed organization. read more

What a complete waste of time. Will not recommend or ever come here again. RIDICULOUS WAIT TIME and crap selection. Didn't end up buying anything read more

Good selection, and friendly helpful staff.... their prices are a bit higher than other dispensaries I've been too, but everything has been good quality, and the service is friendly and helpful read more

ok so today i spent $70 bucks on a gram of concentrate sauce (melon soda sauce) and most of it spilled all over the inside of the bpg zip bag, i'm def sure they won't let me refund it so yea 70 bucks for half a gram and no sauce left in this vial of b.s. you guys just lost a 7 year regular customer. read more

Berkeley Patients Group - gram of live sauce to just down to .4 now...check your product before you leave - Cannabis Clinics Near Me - Berkeley, California

I get migraines, with a side of anxiety ever since discontinuing Depo-Provera (progestin, a female hormone) after a few years of use. I use cannabis every day to keep from having nauseating headaches. I need a constant steady level of cannabinoids, just enough to be able to still work in my office customer service job, and take a 9 level migraine down to a 6 to 2 level. Finding out abut Cannabidiol (CBD) changed my life and let me drive again safely. CBD is not psycho-active, and was close to being bred out of the recreational plant supply. It occurs naturally in the higher THC strains, but in my experience (and others') CBD works best with a low total amount and low ratio of THC. The only side effect I know of besides pain, nausea, and anxiety relief, is that the focus of my eyes sharpens, like wearing a better pair of glasses. The Berkeley Patient's Group has best range of low-THC meds in the East Bay, even though it is smaller than Harborside. They carry the most long-acting edible I know of, CDB-7 "Yak" whole plant extract capsules. Supplies are spotty, but its a life-saver with the longest duration (7 hours) that I've found in any medicine! Getting off the taking-something-every-2-hours routine has made my days much more normal. The dosage is standard, and is large enough that I can use only a little of something inhaled to accommodate additional stresses and migraine triggers. Warning! capsules are made with butter, so vegans beware (and store in the fridge). read more

I'm disappointed to see BPG raising its prices when other dispensaries nearby aren't doing the same thing. I was planning on buying clones from BPG like I've done the past 3 years but noticed prices went from $18 to $20/$25. Why? Same thing with Select cartridges and so many other products. I've been a loyal and frequent customer for years now and I always wanted to support BPG in my community but it just doesn't make sense to pay more for the same thing. While I prefer the staff at BPG, Harborside has the same products for much better prices and much shorter lines. I'm not sure how BPG can continue to act sympathetic about the crazy taxes customers are paying while raising their prices at the same time. Obviously, I'm not the only one that feels this way - their yelp reviews don't lie. :( Remember the people in the community you're meant to be helping and I'll return with my business! read more

Good stuff here (pun intended)! Parking sucks, granted they have a lot. It's super busy, hence the reason for the loooong wait. They have a lounge you can kick back and smoke all day long if you like! They also provide snacks and water! read more

The quality/quantity of products available was very impressive. The prices were equally diverse, bargains to executive-grade. I had a delivery on a Friday night and it was so prompt and efficient I'm writing this recommendation. First class, I shall use them many more times. Just great, I pretty much exclusively get all my meds from their delivery service. Proper friendly and efficient, prompt and reliable. Just to keep the process smooth, I advise that you check out the menu online before you call. read more

Cozy shop, friendly help and great product. I'm an experienced cannabis user, and had some questions about CBD for my dog, and the staff was quite knowledgeable and helpful about my best options. Highly recommended. read more

Love this place. Been coming for about 4 years now and truly wouldn't go anywhere else in Berkeley. Always friendly and great prices.
