Been here several times. The employees are awesome. They're friendly and very helpful. A little pricey, but that's the nature of the business; and they have great quality product. I recommend this for anyone who is wanting to try out a dispensary in Anchorage. read more

Great little dispensary with tons of choices and good flowers, really enjoyed the oil as well read more

Enlighten Alaska - Enlighten oil pen - Cannabis Dispensaries Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

I really like Enlighten except for one bud tender... I go to Enlighten because of the good deals but I'm very upset that one bud tender has to have such a f***** up attitude it makes me not want to continue being a customer there... her customer service is so horrible... everytime she is my bud tender it makes never want to go back there... smoke some b****.. so rude and nasty every time read more

Good service! My budtender was super cool! There was a good selection of good quality products. The only thing I didn't like were the prices. Overall I enjoyed my experience! read more

DO NOT buy a THC cartridge, THC vape from here whatsoever. It cost $75 plus tax it completely leaked into my battery from the bottom and went everywhere when I unscrewed it AMAZING wax TERRIBLE chamber completely disappointed do not go here there's plenty other places with ACTUAL working product read more

Enlighten Alaska - Cannabis Dispensaries Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

*Excuse about how you don't actually smoke yourself that accompanies most weed shop reviews goes here* Seriously though, I don't smoke. Weed does not agree with my genetics. I came here because I had family in town from a state with draconian laws about a plant that grows in the ground. I haven't been into many Cannabis businesses, so I can't really compare. I will say, this place feels really upscale and the people are really nice and helpful. The options are dizzying and the place smells like hoppiest IPA you've ever quaffed. They also have lots of non-THC, CBD products here, as well as some local art. read more

The service was amazing! I asked the gentleman what I wanted in a pre roll and he gave me two options with prices. Ended up getting both recommendations and they were spot on! He even suspected we were from out of town so he offered a book of matches! Great service! Prices were reasonable. read more

They have a point system and weekly deals that are the same I've been twice and so far it's my favorite coming from California my expectations are high but 3.5 for $40 is crazy I used to be able to get 7g for that price read more

Amazing place great service and cool people. Some of the best prices around with the rewards and daily deals for whatever you're looking for. read more

Great staff. Very helpful. Great selection to choose from. You really get a bang for your buck!

Nice clean, safe, welcoming vibe. Coming from Nevada, I thought Alaska would have as good or better selection but I was very disappointed in the edibles that are available. The employees here are really nice, the vibe was great inside, and they let me take my time, and explained strains and gave me their preferences for what I was looking for. No candy, no gummies :( which I went in for. Product is pricey, and not a huge amount of choice, but I don't think that's the dispensaries fault, that is on suppliers. Also, not as high in THC as NV dispensaries. read more

so out of the shops here in Anchortown these folks do things right! Super nice staff, great prices on utensils and a really good vibe! Great little family run business in Spenard. They have overflow parking in the new BT lot next door so it's not hard to find a space. The prices are on par with the rest of the shops in Anchorage. If you are thinking of stopping by some of the new shops put this place on your list! read more

Super nice people, nice shop inside. Parking is a hassle, but that's Spenard for you. The gal who runs the shop keeps the website updated with prices and varieties daily, which change frequently. Cannabis product prices are on par with other places in town. This place is similar to AK Fireweed. The vibe is upscale, dare I say classy? They seem very legit and thorough and safe... I know that sounds weird, but this isn't the kind of place where you'd get hassled if you know what I mean. I would say this and AK Fireweed seem to be nicest cannabis dispensaries in Anchorage. read more

Super knowledgeable staff + samples of gummies (sans weed)! Bought a few things as gifts and was really pleased with the experience. Prices are great compared to some other spots we looked at and they had a really nice array of options. read more

God's Gift is the first strain I tried from this place. Sometimes I get used to going to the same dispensary and decide to keep going. Then I feel like trying something different. It smelled great. The taste was OK and didn't taste bad. I'm fond of indicas and smoke heavily so I need something that packs a punch. It's a very clean establishment and the bud tenders are very friendly. I got a hint of lemon and a hashy, creamy flavor first hit. It burned clean to ash all the way down. I got instant headache relief and body relaxation. 45 minutes later, I am relaxed and nice and buzzed but still able to function as I needed to the rest of the afternoon. read more

This place is rad. Great location and great smiles. Always overwhelming to walk into a shop of this kind with all eyes on you. Deep breaths, ask questions and you'll be satisfied. read more

This is my favorite dispensary. Occasionally they do run out but they always have a substitute. They sell oils, vape cartridges and local pot. I love this shop and always feel safe and welcome. read more

Great dispensary with a wonderfully knowledgeable staff. I felt immediately welcome and comfortable. Some dispensaries make me so uncomfortable that I want to run out the door. Not the same at Enlighten. It's a cool joint to buy reasonably priced weed. read more

Great shop! The staff are friendly and answered any questions I had. The product is good quality and strength, and even looked better than other shop's. Definitely my new go-to shop! read more

What they deserve is 0 star, I've never been anywhere this awful, woman working there has no manners, rude customer service and soooo pricey! 16$ for a joint! I can go in the details of how I got treated but I leave it all here, go find a dealer and get some California delight, weed here is shit read more

At first glance the place seems like a nice place to go, a very welcoming ID check, then into the actual store. I personally do not have a lot of experience with edibles, so I asked a worker for some further information. The worker answers back very aggressively "ARE YOU TRYING TO GET HIGH." I just wanted to know a little more information on the effects of CBD and THC, but I guess this dispensary is not the place to ask. The very polite person who checked my ID reminded the worker that I just wanted more information. It would be nice if everyone there was polite. Oh and the edibles have a very bad aftertaste. read more

*Keep in mind I'm from California!* Our first time in Alaska, wanted to try out the dispensaries since weed is legal here. Also, we're spoiled with great weed and great prices in California so we wanted to see how Alaska measured up to what we were used to. Decided to try out Enlighten Alaska because of the good reviews. Staff was friendly enough. They check your id in the front room before you can go into the actual shop (you must be 21+). Decided to try a hybrid and some edibles, settled on the lemon dreams and I forget which gram. Paid $50-something for 5 servings of 5 mg lemon dreams cookie edible things and a gram of the hybrid. I really enjoy the edibles, good for mellowing out, I've been using them to help fall asleep. Have yet to try the hybrid but I'm sure it's good! The prices overall are a little high, but understandable I guess, and like I said, I might be a little spoiled because of California prices. you can get 15-20 servings of 10 mg THC gummies for under $20 in California, but that's just me complaining. Would maybe visit again since the other shops seem to be way higher in price from what I've read in other reviews! TL;DR: +cheap gear/pieces +friendly staff +good lemon dream edibles -prices a little high read more

Enlighten is the place to go excellent customer service, very knowledgeable and fair prices! Definitely going to be a loyal customer! Very clean and well kept location/building. I've visited several other shops around town and this one tops them all every staff member I interacted with was pleasant and their energy/vibe was very welcoming and I felt at ease. The person helping me was extremely knowledgeable and she helped me pick what was best for me without having much knowledge myself. I will definitely recommend them to everyone I know! read more

good quality flower, and the rain dance cart is fireee!! Definitely will be coming back when I visit anchorage

This is my by far most favorite cannabis shop! The atmosphere is very pleasing and the color schemes are just lovely. (Big bonus on the cooper tone!) but what is even better is the array of products they have on shelf. They have it on a "pastry-like" shelf which is eye-level. It makes everything way easier, I could look at the flowers and ask for which one to smell. The staff is amazing and doesn't seem pushy; they cater to their customers based on their needs. For example: I was looking for something to relieve that "time of month" aches and they gave me recommendations with several options. I loved the fact that they weren't all indica ;) give this shop a try! read more

Visited for the first time today. Parking is not a hassle, there are several places to parallel park and an additional parking lot you can use across the street. You enter the store, which is beautiful and subtle on the outside with faded windows, and you are greeted by a clean, gorgeous entry area, where your ID is checked and a huge screen shows the day's specials and prices. No sketchy people and all the people who work here are super helpful, take the time to find the right thing for you and make sure you are comfortable. It's a family run business, and the family is awesome. They have a reward program, which is great. It's clean in the back, and there are a lot of choices - from edibles to cool clothing to beautiful pipes and good quality product. They clearly do everything safely and keep up on regulations and expectations, ordering from only the best cannabis suppliers. Prices fall well within the prices in Anchorage - if you can get it cheaper on the street, go for it, but this business is the way to go if you want consistently good product, friendly and safe service, and really nice and no -sketchy other shoppers. I can't say enough about my experience there (apparently). read more
