I was pleased to discover that this place had opened only a few blocks from my house. The service is professional & friendly, the selection outstanding. They are knowledgeable as to which things might help a given condition. All in all a great addition to the neighborhood. Cash only; there's an ATM in the lobby but better to get cash back from Rite Aid across the street 'cos no fees there, read more

I was excited when this place first opened Because of its location, but quickly tired of the poor service and rude attitude when asking questions about cannabis. I come from, and was educated on cannabis, in Oakland where people are very friendly and open about your medication. But the staff here are rude and condescending when asking simple basic questions about cannabis, every single time I have been in, and therefore they receive one star. I hadn't left a review before, as I just stoped going, but today I was in the neighborhood and in a pinch so I stopped by only to receive the exact same rude service when asking for a simple gram. Go to one love on Broadway... They are far better with the customer service and knowledge than this place will Ever be. - disappointed Oakland transplant. P.S. it does get one star because the security guard and front of house person are always nice and friendly. read more

Guy working security is a prick. Selection is mediocre. Location sucks. Good elsewhere.

Went here to get some CBD products and will never go back, they charge way too much for everything and to make it even more expensive, the sales tax rate is 33% which I don't care who gets what percentage of it, it's way too much! read more

It was my first time going here, I chose it because I live just a few blocks away. I went in to get someCBD only gummies for pain and anxiety from a recent surgery. Sam was the bud tender behind the counter and he was very nice and super knowledgeable, and answered all of my questions in a friendly and Matter-of-fact way! He did try to keep pushing THC and Oils, but when he I told him I will probably try it next time he was super respectful and I got in and out very quickly with what I needed. Thanks for the help Sam read more

The Stizzy pod I bought like an hour ago was clogged. Probably old or not stored properly. Do yourself a favor and don't trust the cartridges here. Big disappointment. Next time i'll stick to the flower. read more

The worst dispensary I have ever been to and I have been to many over the years...Any other dispensary or delivery service is better than this one. This is not the future of weed! Try others! You are paying top dollar and getting disrespected by the staff if this is where you get your weed. read more

Friendly staff great products and the prices are ok.. they're a bit cheaper than other places by have tax so it evens out. Only downside is their limited supply of disposables. And I think I finished them all and they ran out so when I ordered online it said they had it so I drove there and they said it was sold out. (Even tho the text DID say my product order was received, being prepared, and ready for pick up- 3 individual texts) read more

I'm a pure newbie to all this and was very intimidated by my first visit. Frank was my 'budtender' and made me so comfortable. He listened to what I was wanted, answered all my (stupid), questions without me feeling awkward. Great experience all around. Thank you Frank, you're a gem! read more

This is a very attractive store in a nice location. Parking can be difficult, but it's not impossible. This is a medical cannabis location, so you need to bring a doctor's recommendation. It's a cash-only business. Prices are higher than what's typical, but that's also the norm for businesses on 2nd Street. Your best bet is to know what you want in advance so you can do a quick in and out. Check Weedmaps to look at the store's inventory before you shop. That's usually pretty accurate - sometimes more accurate than the store's staff (who act like they know what's in stock, but are frequently clueless). The staff are a bit pushy and will steer you into products that are more expensive. I'm assuming they get paid a better spiff/bonus/comission for pushing certain brands. They've done this to me and I've seen them do it to other customers. They will not tell you about deals on products they don't want to sell you - the sales staff push what's best for themselves. Finding out after the fact sucks. I've experienced the staff lying to me about their personal experience with a product. I was looking at something and asked a question. Salesperson said it's a great product. Six weeks later the same salesperson casually tells me they just tried that product for the first time. If you ask them a direct question that they don't want to discuss, they'll respond with an answer to a different question (than the one you asked). Used car salespeople and politicians do the same trick - they call it "bypassing." It's not how honest people behave. Bottom line - don't trust the staff to tell you the truth about anything. It's like they hire people too dishonest to work for Frys Electronics. Know what you want before you enter this store. I really wanted this store to be great. I'm disappointed to be writing such a bad review. But I won't be shopping here again. Wilmington and San Pedro are a little seedier than Belmont Shore, but the bud tenders are straight with you and know what they're talking about. They'll even answer a question by saying, "I don't know," instead of trying to feed you a line of bs (what a concept). read more

Came here on a friend 's referral after work on a Friday evening, since I first walked in the people in the front were very friendly and guided me through the process with a smile. When I got into the back room everything were very organized and clean. The gentleman that helped me were super helpful, friendly and knowledgeable in the product. Got what I wanted and I was in and out of there in like less then 15 min. Highly recommend this place. Great job! read more

Yes. This place is clean. And plenty of options. They always have what I'm looking for in stock. I've been to 4 other locations this week and they were limited. Friendly staff. I told Maleena what I wanted and she got it for me. Of course she offered friendly advice which is only helpful. California.... what can I say? I wish other states legalized marijuana. It only makes sense. read more

I love coming here, the staff are always amazing and smiling and they always have Heavy Hitters in stock which is awesome. read more

Catalyst - Belmont - Cannabis Dispensaries Near Me - Long Beach, California

FAKE PRODUCTS Please do not go here! I went this morning for the special and they straight up sold me fake Raw Garden Cartridges. after pointing out the identical UID numbers the manager claimed they order from Raw Garden but that didn't look right. Please don't buy from them, they carry fake products!!!! read more

DAVID was thee most helpful and knowledgeable budtender! He definitely made my experience there an unforgettable one. He's also a cutie so keep your eyes out for him ladies. The whole staff is super friendly tho and they have quite an extensive selection of some dank designer weed. Lol, you guys gotta check them out!!! read more

Jessica was so informative, any question I asked she would answer. I would recommend this place to friends.

I am under 21, Female, and I have a medical recommendation due to anxiety. My friend said they would like to take me to this dispensary. When I went inside with my friend, I was immediately told that they would not accept a digital copy of my medical recommendation. They had a printer and I asked if it worked. They said yes but that they were not "allowed" to print it, either. I have been to The Corner, The Circle, ShowGrow, and Kings Crew and all have accepted my digital medical recommendation. (After all, the original copy of the medical recommendation IS digital). I was confused but willing to wait in the lobby while my friend went in by herself. To add insult to injury, they added that because I am under 21 (And they refused to acknowledge my legitimate medical recommendation) I had to wait outside of the store despite it being dark out and in an area I wouldn't say is exactly safe for young women at night. The customer service here was appalling. I am never coming back and my friends will not be either. read more

I just love this place. Great prices and a HUGE selection. David was the best and super knowledgeable.

Don't waste your time here they have terrible customer service. After I purchased two stiiizy pods here cause they finally have the price where it should be, one of them tasted hella burnt and I called to kindly ask if they will just change it out not even refund they said they don't.. sorry I'll take my business to roote215 where they price is the same and they bring to your door and they swipe out defective pods. Also note to management who wants to reply to this keep in mind I can't say nothing back to that so it's a bitch move really. Just take this TRUE BAD REVIEW like a man. Next time remember other shops are same price, deliver, and exchange for defective pods. read more

What a location! I came to Long Beach to relax at the beach and ended up at connected. I wanted a vape cartridge and they seemed to have a few to choose from. My budtender helped me pick out a Heavy Hitters vape and holy moly ravioli, I am beyond happy! Taste great, hits great and my anxiety was gone! Thank you!! They also have tons of flower and the branding so beautiful!! The shop itself is beautiful too, the interior is beautifully decorated! The receptionists and staff are always so friendly! I love when Megan helps me because she's always so sunny and nice! I can't wait to come back and visit!! Thank you so much for such an amazing experience! I will be back in soon! read more

There are orher stores in town and more are opening. Go somewhere else for your buds. This place thinks it's the only game in town. The girl who paints her eyes like a cat clearly has never worked with people, or she's drunk on the little bit of power she has over people at this place. I was banned the last time I was there because I asked to not have to take the plastic bag I would throw away outside. She said she'd ban me if I didn't carry their weed outside in the thick plastic bag, so I carried my product out to the street in the bag where I inserted the plastic bag that I had used in the door, so it could be reused, and I wouldn't be wasting plastic. I went in a moment ago, and she informed me I was banned because I took the product out in the store, which I didn't. I followed her directions, and I tried to save our environment, but she claimed she saw me do it, which she didn't. Until they learn how to serve their customers, I would suggest going anywhere else. They're extremely expensive because of their location anyway. I have much meaner things that I'd like to say, but I always go out of my way to treat people kindly. I even treated the self-righteous cat eye girl kindly. They do not return that sentiment. read more

This place sucks, high prices and terrible service. They think they are doing you a favor selling you weed. WTF, ok me and my hard earned money never going to ever go there again...After seeing that their service is so terrible on this app, It just confirms it just wasn't someone having a bad day. Everyone sucks from security, to the window girl, to management. AVOID this DUMP!!! read more

Top tier quality service, such the nicest human beings.. i love connected, give all employees 20% raise

Been going there since they opened. My rec expired and I brought it in to update my info and purchase. Receptionist wouldn't let me in bc she couldn't verify the dr. The same dr did my other one, all the same info just a year different. Fine. Don't you think she would have let me in bc I still have a driver's license????? She just refused to take the rec ( go to One Love the service and the prices are better) and didn't let me in. I'm done. Plenty of alternatives now in LB. read more

Decided I needed to check it out. Never been to a legal pot shop before. Use to the good old days. Worked Aerospace and could not do anything but drink. Did a little research on line and Connected seemed to be one of the closest to my house. Location is easy to get to, and you cant miss the big blue building. At 71, did not think an ID would be required, Asked to fill out a short form and was given a ticket for admit 1. ***BIG SIGN, CASH ONLY*** They had a ATM that does cost you ($3) In side the door the was an L shaped counter with everything under glass. I wanted some edible gummies. I don't smoke or Vape. I looked over the selection. Young man assisted me in my selection. I picked 3 boxes of Kushy Punch (1 batch each (10)) of INDICA, Sativa, and Hybrid. Not sure what one does what and how much. I will see what one I like. Picked up a bottle of CBD tincture for the wife. When you open any product, you know what it is. Very strong smell of weed. Wife did not like the smell but tried it (CBD) Said the taste stayed with her the entire night. I noticed a mood change for the better. So far I am just testing. We shall see. Music was a little loud when talking to someone with a low soft voice talking to an old man. All in all it was an experience that I will repeat. The discount card helps (remember the 33% in taxes) is added on in the end read more
