been going to this location for awhile. I use to buy tree from here but its WAY too expensive, I only get flower if im feeling like having a different strain. weekends are PACKED but my work schedule allows me to go at a time where I get in and out quickly during a weekday. its rare I go on a weekend. I also now only go for cartridges, thats pretty much all I buy from there now. the security guards by now know me so they have always been super cool. bud tenders know me so they already know where im headed. I guess it just depends what your looking for....I dislike that flower is now all pre-packed, but like I said I only buy cartridges unless Im am feeling like a different strain. read more

When you pull up you don't even know where the entrance is because they don't have a sign above their entrance. You just have to see where the security guard is at and show him your ID then he'll open the door for you. When you go in you have to give the front desk people your ID. Then you may go in. Its a decently busy business. I personally don't know much about how "Good" the weed is but hey, if it works then it works. The prices for joints/cones are around $9-$20 ish. Depending on the strand and what not. Good people. Good customer service. They don't shame you if you don't know anything about weed lol they're there to assist you on anything you have questions on. read more

It's "aiite." I wanted to give them 4 or 5 stars but there is still much room for improvement. They have some great buds and some not so great for cheap. Their prices aren't cheap. I would say that they are about market value so you can't really complain. Their clones aren't the BEST looking but the genetics are on point. This club has a lot of the newer popular west coast strains that aren't the easiest to find if you're not in with the crowd. As for them being knowledgable about their clones' genetics, I'm not so sure. I do my research before hand so it was not a problem for me. The bud tenders are helpful and have been nothing but friendly to me. I know which meds I need for what ails me so I don't ask many questions though. The security has been more professional the last couple times I was there. They also turned their music down; most likely because of the people flaming them on here. I'll be going back sooner or later for more cuts. As for the horrible reviews... I think those were those few pissed off customers or people from one of the many clubs in the area. If they smooth out the edges I'll bump them to 4 or 5 stars. read more

When I first started coming here it was a great dispensary but sad to say it seems to have went way downhill. First off I don't know why, but there is always a huge line and a long wait to get into the bud room. There is a whole lot of security and so many rules there's no way to remember all of them. If you break one simple rule as little as checking the time on your phone, you will get automatically banned for six months. I'm assuming it's because of the sketchy location. The front desk ladies are always friendly but the security comes across as quite rude, and the bud tenders do not even give you time to look at what they have and are very rushy. If you ask me they are in the wrong business to be so dang rushy! The quality of the buds used to be good but now they don't even have anything of good quality no matter how much you spend. What I used to like is they would weigh out your meds in front of you but now it's all pre weighed so you don't know what you're getting until you get home. The last time I was here was about a week ago and I purchased a split ounce of top shelf because they smelled and looked really good in the display, but when I got home I realized both of them were filled with seeds and very dry and looked like bammer. Yuck! I do not smoke bammer so it was useless to me. Don't waste your time or money at this place because it will take a whole lot of your time and a good amount of money just to get crap. I definitely won't be back! read more

I use to go to this club or location 3-4 years ago but now it's totally different. When I parked my vehicle, I was immediately accosted by a security guard wearing every weapon in the catalog. I've been to dispensaries and seen security with a side arm and a pleasant attitude. This guy was was wearing riot gear including the bear mace. He came across a frightened. Anyways he demanded I get off the phone. I felt like I was entering a drug den because of the level of security and lack of smile. Once inside I was assigned a budtender. I let him know that I was interested in purchasing seeds. His response was, "what kind? " I suggested he just tell me what they had in stock since this clearly not a seed bank. Turns out they had 2 strains. He assured me they were feminized and some guy came from the back area and corrected him. He told me they cost $120 but he could hook me up. I passed. Costumer service and product knowledge were at minimum that day. read more

this place pisses me off. Every time I go in there I ask what the best stuff is and they always try and push some bammer shit in my face that is super exoensivr.. like i don't smoke and know whats good or something. so the customer service is useless. also, the budtenders are always super high and the music is always super loud so you can barely even hear yourself think let alone hear the BS the budtender is trying to sell you. as a patient who really needs his meds, this place is very unhelpful. know what you want before you get there. and i really feel bad for all the senior patients that try and get there meds from here.. loud music with tons of profanity. this just isn't a very friendly place. step up your game. quit trying to sell the bammer to the patients and hogging all the top shelf to yourselves. :/ 1 of 5 stars. read more

I wanted to like this place. I really did. First time I went in was so-so. Location is horrible! Clientele is even worse. The low to mid shelf isn't the greatest. Got a 1/2 gram of hash and it had hair in it the second time I went in. The girls at the front handled it and took care of me. Went in today and waited in there crazy line to see a budtender. When I was almost to the front of the line, the sweet girl at the front let me know that they were going to give me a half gram of hash because of the issue the last visit. She thanked me for coming back. She is the best part of this place. Get to the budtender and he is just not even there. Too busy dancing around and bulls**ting with his coworkers. I asked him to smell some of their top shelf and he ignored me! Then the girl from the front let him know I'd be receiving a half gram of hash for free and he asked why? Why!???????! Why the hell does it matter to you!?Just shut up and do your job!!! I didn't even get to smell their buds or see them up close. Honestly, I work at a dispensary, and I truly feel they need to hire some new budtenders to represent their business. Had I received consistently decent service from them, I'd be back much more. They are lucky they have gotten any of my money. I truly felt like walking out today after the service I received from that one gentleman, if that's even the right word to explain him, which I think it isn't and im just trying to be nice!!! Bottom line? Don't think I'll be back unless I have no where else to go. Their front desk rocks! Thumbs up on that. The rest of it is really hit or miss. It's sad that one person, and hair in the product, can be the end of a "relationship" but this guy today totally killed it for me. read more

Eh... Customer Service is on negative 100 here but the reviews already reflect that. As for selection, they have decent tree, but it's a little over priced. Especially when I'm coming from San Francisco paying 16 a gram for top shelf Blue cookies and this club is charging damn near 14 a gram for sour diesel type of strains... you guys lost me there. It was my first time there so I was super open minded and excited because this name came around sac so much! So when I came to visit I made sure to stop by, if the customer service was better and the Budtenders weren't so laid back and had terrible attitudes in the club I feel this club could actually be super successful, not that it isn't already. But the vibes your tenders set off is what creates the vibes in the club, just a little food for thought! This doesn't reflect the club as a whole, just my experience this day. read more

Nice setup, friendly staff. The aroma is on point, i could stand the all day. No wonder the guards are always smiling. Nice selection of products. I like and will be back. read more

I will never return Good selection No veterinarian discounts No first time visit gift Very displeased and feel insulted from my visit read more

Ive been to a few dispensaries in Sacramento and I'll review this based on those experiences. The location is not in the best area, although it's easily accessible from the freeway and located in a strip mall with plenty of parking in the back. The security guards were friendly and helpful, more so than the employees actually! Have your ID and script ready and be sure to check out the menu on weed maps to have an idea of what you want before. Upon walking in they play good music but the volume is way too loud, hard to hear. This location has some great strains, a bit on the pricy side but I chose a 21% thc, berry white, which was a great strain for only 25/eighth. Other strains were offered from 10-20/gram. They have some amazing top shelf strains being as they are part of the legitimate "cookies" Fam including various gelato strains, sunset sherbet, Berners cherry pie, platinum cookies and Girl Scout cookies. The guys helping didn't ask what I was looking for or trying to medicate, I felt rushed and couldn't hear. The employees were totally friendly and welcoming just appeared to be in a hurry. My other experiences at dispensaries included me learning a lot about the strains and what would work best for me, unfortunately I wasn't given any direction or new information about the strains. Unlike other dispensaries in the area this location does not offer any first time patient specials which was a bummer as that is a great opportunity to upsell and have a sample to return back for that I otherwise wouldn't have tried (at other dispensaries I have received a free pre roll, free pre selected edible or free gram with a donation). Collective efforts does have a loyalty rewards program but it would take quite a bit, 500 point to equal a $10 credit. (1$=1 reward point I believe) No cell phones allowed in the waiting room or bud room so no pictures available unfortunately! Also, this dispensary has a great variety of not only great strains but good edibles ($10-$20), and also a small selection of clones ($15/each) just call ahead to be sure the clones are still available. This is not the best place for first timers looking to cater to specific needs if they're not too knowledgable about strains but it's heaven for a seasoned smoker looking for quality meds. read more

Collective Efforts - Berry white 21% THC @ 25$/eighth great deal - Cannabis Clinics Near Me - Sacramento, California

See all

GOOD medication, prices are fair & da staff are extremely nice. every time I visit no problem at all.

It was good. They had a great selection of all kinds. I thought all the hype about this place was bs and it kind of was talked up way to much. But it was not that bad. The building is in a ghetto area surrounded by security guards looking like swat. Honestly makes me feel safe and they are friendly. THe selection of concentrates is a little much and not much help of finding he ones with real flavor. And the bud tenders no little to nothing about most of the meds. They do have some awesome top shelf like gorilla scout, but it's also super expensive. This place seems like it's doing fine though. There was people coming through none stop the 30 min I was there. I prob won't be back any time soon due to price mostly not quality. read more

This place takes a very very very long time. Wait tume could be 20 mins. I called in an order before they opened and I'm sitting here waiting while people go in to order without prior ordering. If you dont have time to wait then don't come to this spot! read more

Found 12 seed pods in 2 grams. They were 13$ grams of cookies. I don't want to pay for some flower that has seeds or seed pods. That's the whole reason i go to the dispensary. read more

Be very cautios about buying wax and weed here especially the wax. Alot of it has butane and solvents in it i bought a $30 gram of shatter and it tasted like straight butane. Sad thing is this isnt the 1st time its happened. Alot of the weed they sell here is very dry and it tasted like it has hella chemicals in it. I dont think ill be returning too collective anytime soon ive been coming here for a year now and im tired of leaving disappointed. Good thing there not the only weed club in sac then everyone would be getting ripped off read more

Yea. Wow. Where to start. Others have said how they used to be good and have gone downhill... well, they have SLID downhill, right down the "we only care about $$$ from recreational users" hill. Patients first my ass. My ENTIRE ASS. The taxes were bad enough, but they have raised prices too. WTF. Waited 56 minutes... then left. FYI, I always spent an average of $400-$600 when I came in... and that obviously gets you not shit as far as customer service, appreciation, or anything else. Also, I bought an ounce that tasted like chemicals.... so I has it tested with some of my own sample submissions. Failed BOTH for pesticides AND microtoxins. WTF. I am going to report these people to the State. Someone is going to get frikkin sick! read more

Thank you Bre for the good customer service and as well as the staff in the back, security is very helpful too, good vibes and not too far from the freeway, going express will be best if time is an issue read more

I use to be a regular a couple years ago at Collective Efforts, but with all the changes that have happened for me, I would never set foot in that diapensary again. Here is why I would never go again: 1) Staff: I use to be a regular for pre-orders. My pre-order routine would be walking in, handing the receptionist my ID and they would tell me to go ahead and go on back. I would then go to the first register, get my ID back and pay for my medication. But when staff started to change, customer service started to reflect. One day, I made my usual pre-order and came in 30 minutes later because that is what time I was told it would be ready. I waited behind one person at the window and when I handed her the ID I thought she told me to go back but she had told the person that was before me. When I went in the back, she screamed at me from the window to come back and it was embarrassing. She said, "You go back when I say to go back!" and then I sat there as two other patients that came in after me walked in the back. She called my name and then I told her that I'm usually told to just go back when I do a pre-order after handing any receptionist my ID. She told me "I don't care you're going to listen to what I say". What was really messed up about this situation was when I walked back finally. The person that came before me and the two other people that came after me were being helped by budtenders and when I got back there. I felt so humiliated from that experience. 2)Weedmaps: I made a review on Weedmaps saying that there was rude staff at there dispensary and they flagged it as offensive and it was taken down. I'm sorry that they want their image to look good, but they really need to train their new staff on how they should communicate to patients. Don't always trust the reviews on Weedmaps because collectives could take down your posts. Currently on Weedmaps, Collective Efforts has four stars. That is a big lie. 3)Prices and Quality: When I use to buy $50 half ounces, it would be fair for the price. But since the changes, they pre-weigh everything now. The $5 grams are not worth it anymore and the top shelf is not the best I've seen compared to other dispensaries. Also, most of the concentrates aren't tested by labs, so be aware of it because a couple times there seemed to be solvents still in the concentrates I purchased. 4)Parking:Parking can be a pain when there are a lot of people. There are a few parking spots in the front but there is parking in the back as well. Be aware that the building is shared by other leasers, so they have people parked in the back and when there is a rush sometimes parking is non-existent. read more

This is the best shop in Sacramento in my opinion! The tenders are all great and friendly and they are a huge help when you're looking like a deer caught in headlights trying to figure out what you want. They're always there to help. Also the selection of flowers they have is amazing! I'm always trying something different and 100% of the time I'm lit, so thanks guys for having a dope shop! read more

I was extremely surprised by my experience at Collective Efforts. After reading some of the reviews while my gf drove me to the location, I was a little discouraged and almost didn't go in. It was my first experience at any dispensary and I didn't want it to be a bad one. I had just got my red that day and was curious about what medication would be able to help me best. I arrived around 6pm, it was dark, so I was already nervous because it's very dark in the parking lot. There was a security guard in the front that predicted that it was my first time and told me to walk up to the door and let them know it was my first time. A second security guard opened the door from the inside and let me in. I was taken aback at first glance. He was dressed in full black riot, let's rock and roll, ready for the end of times gear. It instantly made me nervous, I thought to myself 'do I really want to be in a place that the security is dressed for military AND street war?' It's definitely startling at first to be in a place that the security looks like he just step out of Modern Warfare. But he was extremely friendly and handed me some paperwork to fill out. He walked me through what do give him and showed me where everything was. Once the registration process was over he pointed me to another door where the actual "retail" section was. Someone behind the counter immediately called me over and asked what he could help me with. I explained that I had never been to a dispensary before, that I'm not a weed smoker and I was really just looking for an alternative for pain relief. To my surprise he showed me a lot of different choices that were exactly what I was looking for. He showed me different edibles, creams, tinctures, even vapes (which I am very familiar with). He was extremely knowledgeable and patience with me, noticing that I really didn't know what I was doing and had very little info on the subject. He took his time to explain to me how wax is made, what edibles would be good for my condition and so on. I ended up going wth a pre-loaded disposal vape pen by Bumblebee that was Sour Diesel (a strain I had read about before). After I checked out, there was a guy that called me over to check my bag. I guess this is also a standard thing because when I didn't walk over to him he said (like 4 other people before him) that this must be my first time. He checked the bag, and the price on my reciept like I was at Walmart or something, thanked me and sent me on my way. The one thing I wanted to point out is that they don't take cards, which from my online reasearch is hats pretty common, but they have an ATM and the fee is pretty standard. I've read that some places the ATM fees are extremely high and outrageous but I believe this one was only $3. BUT if you are like me and hate to give away those fees, remember to bring cash. Again, I was very surprised how pleasant my experience was. After read the bad reviews I hope I didn't just get lucky. I was worried about feeling overwhelmed or rushed because this medication is a new avenue for me but I felt very comfortable and the customer service was great. I would definitely go back. read more

You guys have been my favorite place but your security I can not take! I went yesterday around 5 and came back at 7:30pm for more... When I got there bald security walked past me didn't say anything get to the door security at the door says I can't come in like I stole something.. I ask why he says I can't come twice in one hour! GREAT it's been over 2 he calls bald head security and ask what are you talking about.. he comes and tried to argue but was wrong .. Then he says you came earlier so that's three times.. but they didn't serve me the first time I pulled in and left .. Then he says the system will kick you out.. How? If you didn't service me.. He walks all the way to my car wanting me to engage but honey I'm 5ft with health problems not gonna happen.. I hope to find someone better because I won't be treated unfairly... Totally unnecessary and I now see why I have seen people going off several times outside at him.. No problem inside always outside read more

Great selection on top shelf buds. Staff is great and it is a "feel good" atmosphere . Danielle is extremely helpful. Bub is an amazing person as well. I'll be coming back read more

it's really illegal to ask a patient if they dog is a service pet even when you have paperwork.... some of the the bud tenders can b very rude at times...and the security guards are less than substandard and rude... its time for the owner to provide sensitive training to some of the staff and especially the security...cause thats not the way that you treat patients that spend money...your not the only dispensary in sacramento ca...show some respect as you would expect to have it... it will be another long time until i come back...i left in tears read more

My first time at collective efforts and my last. the music was to loud the selection was great but the guy at the counter was not helpfull at all kept going away and doing other things was not helpfull at all if the music wasnt so loud and they had better sales people it would be good but definitely not a good experience read more

On two different visits i was shown one product then givin something different. That is unfair and deceitful. I called .so i was told to return. They did nothing to fix the mistake that was made. read more

I'm a longtime smoker, used to go to Northstar holistic on C St. in downtown Sac for a few years. Now I have been going to collective efforts for last few months because the top shelf is unmatched. My favorite strains are skittles, sunset sherbet, Berners cookies... The best bud tender is the skinny tall light skinned man with dreads to his shoulders. He is extremely helpful, answers all questions, and after seeing him for a while he tells me what's worth it or not ! If you want the highest quality top shelf, you found it. read more

Been going there for about three years. There's always a new rule being implemented. Some bud tenders are rude and take hella long to serve you. Keep your bags they often mess up with your points. You get banned without They don't care for patients. read more

They have some of the best flower in Sacramento and best deals. Budtenders are helpful and nice.

Overall I really love this collective. Everyone is always really nice , respectful , never rushed me , always take the time to get me the top shelf buds.... it's pretty clear the more you spend the better smoke you'll receive. Sometimes the buds are small but still if you can't find anywhere else I always head here . As far as security goes , the guys are always respectful just ask you follow the rules for good reason. I've never been banned for checkin time on my phone , I have watched people be asked to put it away ( as there is signs posted that CLEARLY say NO PHONES ) they don't know what you're doing on your phone , better yet keep it in the car when you go inside then you'll never have an issue. As far as pre bagging up small amounts , spend more money and they can weigh your bud out in front of you. You take 5,10,20 and expect to get prime buds you're a little off. This is a business & those higher spending customers bring them more profit to their product. Therefore they receive the nicer nugs , same stuff but the appearance is better then a sack of some baby nugs. Update : Still love this club but I will say I miss the OG employees , these new ones aren't very receptive to customers , especially returning customers. I honestly loved everyone at this shop when it first opened , now it's a lot of illiterate females ( sorry I'm not sorry they haven't got a clue about good smoke ) nor do they seem to have good attitudes. & im not one to judge someone's mental capabilities but common sense is highly lacking in their new workers !!! read more

This place is pretty sick.. had an amazing selection of meds as well as a bunch of good discount bud (I got both White Widow and Blueberry AK today for REALLY cheap). It is kind of in the cuts though, but so are a ton of other dispensaries out here. Definitely one of my top 3 Sac dispensaries. read more

This place was horrible. Coming from a family who has been to dispensaries for many years, coming into this one for my first time was a horrifying experience. The bud tenders didn't explain anything to me about the buds (pre-mature crap) the bags were black so I couldn't see what I was getting. Yes I bought the low shelf but the bud tenders gave absolutely no indication that the media were complete pre-mature stringy leaves. Doctors orders collective gives 21% for their low shelves. This place is bunk! read more

This place has good product , but ive been many clinics in sacramento and ONLY have PROBLEMS at this club. The security and staff are GARBAGE !! security kicked my car door because music was "too loud" . Security has also randomly , with no reason asked me if i had a knife . His name is James H , and he makes collective efforts look like GARBAGE . DO NOT RECOMMEND!!. read more

I'm sad that this place sucked like it did :-( It was my first time there last night and was over all a let down. I went in and was greeted by security, nice enough, signed a form while they ran my info. Waited a little bit, not too long because it wasn't crazy busy. When I walked back the only thing I could hear is their ridiculously loud music. Music is awesome but I want to be able to talk and hear answers to my questions. What about those with hearing problems? I get up to the counter, the girl was nice enough but come to find out they're out of the strain I wanted, so she recommends another just a different number saying "it's actually even better than the other one" which I was doubtful but decided to go for it. Oh no it was not "actually even better"! And for $20 a gram?! Rip off! Good smoke but still, no not at that price! *Not to mention I spent $28 with her telling me I'd get 1.8g, I get home and it only weighed to 1.75g so watch out for that shit* Even FWC has a cap at $18 a gram for their best strains. Just ridiculous. read more

Such a dope experience. My girlfriend and I just got our cards and wanted to check out a dispensary. We heard great things about this place so we decided to check it out. As soon as we walked in there was someone there to help guide us through the process, and when we went to the back where all the cannabis is actually sold, we were in awe to put it mildly. The staff members were cool and super helpful and their dried flowers were dank. Definitely will be coming back. read more

staff is cool, some of the security are ok but the others are unapproachable/make you feel uncomfortable. buds are decent and the prices on wax are pretty cool too. don't really enjoy the music, a little too hood for when i'm buying my dro (i prefer when they play pac and other 90s music) but to each his own. i like the budtenders though. they're all personable and knowledgeable. worth visiting, their 10$ wax half grams and 10$ grams are generally really good buys and are some of the best potency-per-dollar i've found around the south area. read more

The staff was ok. The security were actually the most friendly. I came on a Friday night about 2 hours before closing. It was packed. 15 minute wait. I am uncomfortable waiting around with a bunch of people, twiddling my thumbs. I wanted to wait outside. But if they call your name and you're not there...end of the line. So I waited inside with everybody, trying not to look at each other. Lots of guys trying to look tough. Grrrr. I took offense to the anti-female music that was blaring. Why would a business choose to demean and ostracize 30% of their own customers? Well, I still patronized them. But I won't be back. They call a few people in at a time into the special room. We were lined up like cattle waiting to give away big $. Cashier gave me the same scripted run down of the products. Male cashier next to her was touching her inappropriately. Oh geeze really...Don't come here if you seek professionalism. I guess it's way too much to ask. read more

I have been to this collective on a number of occasions. The flower at the 55-60 is the only option at this particular collective. That being said, one should only frequent this collective if they only smoke top shelf and have Very Deep Pockets. I personally have tried the 13 dollar selections and would have to pass. Just stopped in picked up the 45 dollar 8th of sherbet and it was from a hermie plant. Maybe if the price point was 5-7 a gram that would be ok. My one gripe with this place is the high price for bubble hash and other concentrates. Their donation prices are the highest in Northern California by far. They stock the same brands as other collectives they just charge more. This place is not for the medical consumer, rather for a young hipster who wants to look good for friends. When coming to this collective you pay for the name on the wall rather than medical marijuana. They do have some of the most recent strains available at this collective. Its a clean place with security and decent parking. Never really had the long wait times here as other's have experienced. Overall I only come here when there is a specific strain, otherwise I would go somewhere else. read more

I have been coming to this club for awhile now and never had anything bad to say about it. Today I walked in and the budtender with the colorful hair seemed like she hated her life and was super rude. I asked to get 4 1/2 grams and then changed my mind that I wanted 6 1/2 grams and she looked up at me and said "Would you like anymore" rolling her eyes making it noticeable she was irritated that I had changed my mind! After that I realized that I misunderstood her about the price so then I just wanted 2 1/2 grams and she really got irritated. I shouldn't feel in the wrong for making her go back to grab 2 extra one or putting some back on the shelf that's simply her job right? Anyways , good quality bud and wax love the place the rest of the staff is wonderful never had any other bad visits. If the girl with the cotton candy hair says she will help you let the person behind you go to her . read more
