Had a crummy experience here. I've been in a handful of times and came in to buy a St. Ides mixer, something I've purchased here several times before. Both varieties on the shelf were marked $8.99. I brought one to the counter with a $20 bill in hand, and it rang up to just over $21. When I questioned it, the employee told me the tax was almost 50% of the cost. That explanation didn't make much sense, so I walked him over and showed him the $8.99 price tags. His response was a shrug and, "I'll let them know." That was it. No attempt to honor the posted price, no effort to resolve the issue, and no concern that the shelf pricing appeared to be wrong. So I left. Mistakes happen. What bothered me was how little interest there seemed to be in fixing the problem. I won't be back. If you shop here, pay close attention to the prices you're charged. read more

The Higher Path - Moon man. - Cannabis Dispensaries Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

Huge selection, great deals, helpful staff. Shoutout to Paul for helping me and offering top notch service. First time here and wow they have a huge selection. I'm not familiar with the half of the store dedicated to smoking, but more familiar with the edibles side and the infused drinks. Lots of options and very spacious. You grab a basket and load up whatever you want, unlike other places where you may need an associate to mark down your selection. For payment, I recommend debit over credit. Security requires links and a credit card fee, and even my Apple Pay debit was declined but the physical card worked. So my recommendation is a physical debit card for this transaction. To be clear, I am very glad they have significant security and it seems the physical debit is the best balance of both. Good for this shop and their payment partners keeping our info secure! read more

The Higher Path - Cannabis Dispensaries Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

I've been coming to The Higher Path for over 5 years, and I've never had an experience as the one I had today. I placed an order online and saw that I had reward points available to use. When I arrived for curbside pickup, I let them know I wanted to apply my points and just pay the difference. The employee who helped me, Clay (who said he was a supervisor when I asked for one), came back and told me I had no points available and would need to pay full price. I politely asked if he could double-check since the website had consistently shown my points, and I had been saving them. Instead of trying to help or even acknowledging there might be a system issue, Clay became dismissive, condescending, and honestly pretty disrespectful. He told me it didn't matter what the website showed and that he couldn't "magically make points appear" on his end. There was no effort to troubleshoot, no apology, and no attempt to find a solution. After going back and forth with Clay being condescending and rude for several minutes in the parking lot, I got frustrated and left without my order. I then went back on the website, confirmed my points were still there, placed a new order applying them, and returned to the store. The second budtender I worked with was the complete opposite, friendly, patient, and genuinely helpful. He apologized multiple times, tried to figure out what went wrong, and even offered to contact a supervisor. That level of service is what I've come to expect here, which made my interaction with Clay stand out even more, in the worst way. Really disappointing experience from someone representing themselves as a supervisor. Hoping management addresses this, because this is not the standard I've experienced here over the years. Clay, I hope things get better for you so you stop trying to treat people as terrible as you look. If you're miserable in your job, go elsewhere, maybe in traffic. read more

Incredible service. I know nothing about this industry and was so nervous to ask "silly" questions but between Jess, Shorty, and Wes I felt so comfortable. From start to finish they helped me the whole way. Was going to a place down the street but after this staff treated me like VIP I am now a loyal local customer. Even on the busiest day I was treated like I was solo. Can't thank yall enough. See you guys soon!! read more

Been loyally going to THP for 6+ years, even though I live close to DT. The last few months the employees have been WEIRD. It's now become normal to arrive for a parking lot pickup and to just simply be ignored by the workers. If they aren't offering parking lot pickup anymore, I'd rather them just say that. There is this one weird blond lady in the parking lot who is always helllllllla rude. I was there recently and was in the lot for about 45 minutes (With no other customers) before receiving my product. And even then, my order was wrong and I was overcharged and didn't receive all my items. Used to be my favorite place I would refer everyone to with the coolest staff, but now the staff is just pretty blasé and rude. V sad and disappointed. read more

The Higher Path is the go-to local dispensary here in Sherman Oaks! I've been going here for years and they have the best deals. Everyday there is a different deal (ex: 10% off prerolls on Saturdays) or just using my rewards points to save. The budtenders are really knowledgeable and personable which makes the browsing experience easier. Each time I go, there's always a unique, chill vibe that makes me feel at ease. read more

The Higher Path - Main area inside - Cannabis Dispensaries Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

As I visit Sherman Oaks twice a year, I always make it a point to stop in/buy cannibas products from the store. Today I stopped in and was told by 2 employees about a 30% discount if one.'s total wad $90 or greater. I intentionally purchased about $100 worth and as I paid a total of $95, I realized that the 30% discount had not been applied to my purchase. i did not understand why and no one took the time to explain it to me. ultimately any purchase is my responsibility, but I feel that someone could have mentioned what specific terms and conditions. I feel like I was mislead by their OMISSION of information in this transaction. Service was far less than adequate. I will no longer be visiting Higher Path going forward. read more

This is my go to spot. Lots of stuff to choose from and there's always good deals happening. The staff is always ready to answer questions you have, which is hard to come by at dispensaries. read more

I stopped by The Higher Path today and it was dope (literally) The store had a handful of Clients and I was amazed that DERRIC, approached me and asked if I needed any help with his happy go lucky attitude, he was beyond helpful and showed me all the edibles Higher Path had to offer, I was overwhelmed with all his knowledge, kindness and most of all patience with me! DERRIC, needs to be recognized for all his People Skills read more

Amazing customer service, good deals, beautiful store. Easily the best shop in the SFV.

They seem to always have some sort of deal going on, so be sure and check their website. Great variety of all things cannabis! Lately I've taken advantage of buying online and picking up. It's so easy and fast. The service is always very helpful. Market price points with a knowledgeable team. Free parking in the back and meters on the street. read more

Rocky was awesome. He was patient and very very helpful so nice and sweet too!! Also weed is awesome and at a great price. Say less. I will definitely be back and I don't even live in the area read more

Yelp doesn't offer enough stars to accurately rate this dispensary and the staff. This is an absolutely beautiful storefront and I don't know the name of the gent who checked my ID at the front but he was lovely and friendly and welcoming! When I entered the dispensary, I was greeted by Paige who was patient in helping me pick out what I was looking for and very informative. Also just totally lovely to chat with. I wound up purchasing a 6pk of Higher Path's brand (support local) of pre rolls and they are by far the best I've ever smoked. They are rolled SO PERFECTLY!! Easy to light, you don't have to collapse your lungs trying to get that first drag, but a nice slow smoke, and delicious flavor. Extremely reasonable price points, especially given the quality of the brands they're carrying! I received a free t-shirt, a first time discount a had a great experience- will 1,000% be back both here and next door to The Other Path!! Ps- if paying by card, ask to add tip BEFORE credit card transaction is complete. I didn't realize and now I'll just have to go back next week and buy something else from Paige- I got you this time ;) read more

On multiple occasions change received has been incorrect assuming staff is stealing money for tips. Least welcoming weed shop I've ever been to. Pricing seems to change every time I have visited. Will never come back to this shady business. read more

I just came here to get a pre-roll and some edibles, and I love the new setup of the place. This used to be my go-to place when I want a pre-roll. I've noticed the last few times I've gone there, my card declines every single time! I have to try multiple cards until the payment process goes through. Today, none of my cards worked and they said they weren't excepting credit cards. I was told to use the ATM to withdraw cash, and the machine was out of service. I sat down and waited for them to fix the ATM, and after it was fixed, I tried withdrawing cash, and it still didn't work. I got so frustrated I just walked out and no one even noticed. This issue has been happening for a long time, and I'm not sure why they're not changing their payment processing system. They also charge way more for their payment processing fee than other vendors. I am shocked that the staff only offered me free matches for all my time waiting for a payment to go through. Every time I go to this dispensary, it's a frustrating experience! Almost every other dispensary that I go to allows for credit cards and debit cards to be used, and I never have any issues. I rarely leave Yelp reviews, but this experience was my last straw. I love this store, and I love their selection, but they need to get it together with the payment processing system. After I left, I walked to the nearest dispensary and was in and out in literally two minutes! Get it together guys!!! read more

Wow, what a treat on Ventura! Very cool green jungle vibe here. Super friendly, knowledgeable and laid back staff. No pushyness here, they're ready when you are. They have a very diverse selection of products to ensure you get what you need, how you need it. The daily specials are a plus and worth organizing visits around. Everything seems fairly priced. We will return! read more

I have to agree with Mel, with the combination of teenaged acting budtenders, who are not only rude, but you can tell they gossip about you the moment you leave. Like the other review, I immediately could tell that for some reason, most of the people who work here, have a god complex. Look at all the bad reviews. They know what their problem is, but the problem also is... they do not care. It's your staff. You need to CHILL with the attitude and not get triggered by every little thing. Green Angel, right down the street. THE BEST. SO NICE. Tony. IS THE MAN! He bends over backwards to make you happy. He will toss in free stuff, just to be cool. Buds and Roses - super professional. I had 1 bad experience there, and Arron the owner, not only invited me back, they tossed in some free items. With higher path, like the review said, they are grumpy to the point of being GOTH. You do NOT own people and that is NOT an extension of high school. If you want drama, goto high path. If not there are at least 4-6 within 5 miles that want your business drama free. Zero stars if I could and that's after being a loyal customer for years. It will never change.... I'm even afraid of their ghetto security knowing my address. So suspicious and sneaky I feel like I gotta watch out for them. DONE WITH YOU read more

Adore the staff, they're so sweet and dog friendly. However, the taxes at this place is ridiculous. Go to the shops around the area, you only pay $2/$4 in taxes. But at higherpath, you get basically a $10-$15 tax depending on your order. And don't even get me started on the additional card fee that no one ever tells you about. Nice Staff and pretty atmosphere, that's about it... read more

Great selection and ambience here, but the five star rating comes from them hitting all of the marks during a recent tough customer service issue I had with them. I had made an online order and received one incorrect item and one entirely missing item. I didn't think to look through the bag until I got home, which obviously puts the store in a tough spot as they can't verify visually that I had been shorted (which, no worries - it happens) I called them and they made no issue with correcting the issue. In a regulated industry like this, it would have not been unexpected to be told to f*ck off by other stores, while they kept my pre-paid funds. The higher path continues to be a community staple that treats customers amazingly! read more

After almost 2 years of being a loyal customer-I'M DONE. Being nearly ASSAULTED by another customer while the staff DID NOTHING-and then blamed me is enough. Not only am I writing this review sadly, but I am filing a police report and alerting the proper authorities about this incident. Today this happened: I stopped by the store as I was driving by at mid-day there was no line and plenty of parking. Thought it would be a quick in-and-out. I walked up with my small sweet dog and handed my ID to the female employee (20s, long curly hair). WEIRD that she asked me 3 times for my phone number, despite holding my identification in her hand. I simply asked why she was asking for my phone number, as I have never been asked before and she had my ID and my info CLEARLY IN THE SYSTEM. I only asked because several times lately there have been changes and changes with the credit card machines and hadn't been inside recently). Then I heard the only other person in the waiting area repeating back my phone number like a total creep (this guy clearly did not have a valid form of I.D. because he was not allowed into the dispensary and was waiting for his friend to come out with her bag of weed-which he snatched out of her hands once we got outside and the incident occured.) Legal? I don't think so. Back to the incident: I asked the employee for my ID back and said "I don't want to deal with this guy-I will come back later" and headed for door. I heard this man who seemed, frankly, like he had a serious drug problem or mental health issue, saying 'RELAX B*tch, relax b*tch' in a very hostile way-and I replied something to the effect of "What did you say to me?" He then charged at me, running out the door towards me, and I started screaming for help from people on the street. I screamed for the female employee to get the security guard-enter THIS GUY in photo. He then watched as the derelict customer opened up his water bottle and threw at me covering my phone with water in the doorway of the Higher Path. THE SECURITY GUARD did nothing and then told me that since he didn't 'touch me' that there was nothing for him to do and I was the problem. He said the guy "was a chill dude." He watched the guy commit a crime, damaging my phone (not sure if it's broken or not yet). Then I waited outside by my car and got HARRISON + JESSICA, (the Manager who refused to come out and speak with me) on phone and both stood by the guy with the gun (in photo). IN FACT, Jessica tried to GASLIGHT ME and say that none of what I said was true because on video tape she did not see his hands touch me. He ATTEMPTED TO ASSAULT ME AND I GOT OUT OF THE WAY IN TIME-AND THEN VANDALIZED MY PROPERTY. That's where I draw the line. The ONLY OTHER TIME I have ever had any kind of negative incident here, it involved one of the security guards (which I reported and was encouraged by a female manager, the one with partially shaved head-don't know her name, and told to 'write a negative review about him' on this site so that THE OWNERS/HIGHER UPS would pay attention. Apparently he had other complaints. OH, AND I KNOW people who are 'in the cannabis industry' who will want to hear about this. GOOD LUCK. Oh, and spare me your 'cut and pasted' auto-response or saying like you did in other negative reviews that you 'reviewed the footage and your security guard/employee did nothing wrong.' read more

Had a great experience AGAIN. Highly recommend. Tristan & Tori next door were both great. I love the vibe. It's not at all tense. Even security was friendly.

a text from my friend c.h.: "The Higher Path cannabis store, I love the name" yes, how awesome is the name! i've been on a look out for another establishment since the one i'd tried out couple of times went out of business. it dawned on me that this establishment is visited by my friend s.p., so it's a must try. i'd entered through the front of the store and was greeted by two men: one who needed to see my i.d. and the one who secured the place. they buzzed me in and found myself in a partitioned room where i was able to see the products. there were several clienteles waiting to be served. the wait wasn't too bad. i would say it was about 10 min. besides, i was formulating many questions regarding cbd & thc and its ratio for pain management. jimmy greeted me with a warm smile and was very informative and knowledgeable. he had advised me that a one to one ratio would be a great start and then take it from there. it's all about trial and error. what may work for one person may not for others. after the consultation, i was comfortable purchasing few items. if you need to try, you must try "the higher path." read more

I love this place. From the moment you walk in, it's awesome. Beautiful lobby. Friendly security check. A quality T-shirt gift for first timers + a discount. Discount galore every single day of the week. Great prices and quality products. Awesome art work inside. An owner who is passionate and who the staff speaks highly of. I can see why. And the best part is that staff. All the budtenders are kind and knowledgeable and you walk in feeling comfortable and you leave w a smile bc they're just awesome. I pass by a lot of dispensaries on my way to the higher path, but once you go you will understand why I dont go anywhere else. read more

Additional review. Im a regular customer here because of its proximity to my home. I'm getting real sick and tired of the "rounding" policy this place has. They charge an absurd fee to use credit and debit cards, so I decided to just use cash. I ordered online, received a confirmation and an order total/ $33.51. So, I walked down there (I live right behind the shop) with EXACT change only to be told that my order is $34.00. I said "Sorry, your site said my order was actually $33.51." The employee said "well we don't have any change here" to which I replied "oh I don't need change, I brought the exact amount." Then I hear, "sorry we don't actually use change here, so we round up." Me:"Uh, you round up?" Her: "Yeah. We round up." Me: "But the order is $33.51, right?" Her: "Yeah." Me: "so why do I have to pay more?" Her: "Because we don't deal with change." Me: "That's not how money works. If I worked at Starbucks and you ordered a coffee and I told you it's $3.52, how much should you have to pay for that coffee?" Her: "I don't wanna have this conversation right now. Do you have $34 or not?" Me: "No, I have $33.51 which is the amount of money I owe you. If you don't wanna deal with my change just because you don't feel like it or it's because of your 'system' then round it DOWN." Seriously, get your s**t together, THP. And stop ripping off your clients. read more

THE GOOD: -Very friendly staff. Everyone was really nice and my budtender (Teresa) was patient, helpful, and knowledgeable. -Free T-shirt for first-time customers, along with 10% off. -They also have all sorts of daily deals happening as well as discounts for online reviews. -Charming interior. -Like most dispensaries, they can't accept credit cards. Not clear on all the details, but it's basically because marijuana is still illegal on a federal level. In addition to cash, they do accept debit cards which is a plus. THE BAD: -Wasn't super thrilled about their stock. Didn't have too many sativa disposable pens available (two options) and both were priced at $50 plus. They didn't have any $35 disposable pens in stock (which is what I was looking for). read more

Absolutely incredible . One of the only places where you go and leave come back a bunch - try a buncha different shit And every time You're just like Ok, well they say they're number 1 People do Papers do Ratings do Maybe we just simply all do, because it is what it is. This is a rare instance of the most popular being the best. This is like if we went back to when Britney and Christina were always 1 and 2 on the charts - but gave Britney Christina's wailing ability , or gave Christina the baby one more time make over. This is the best of both worlds The cake and eating it too. This place is the genie in the bottle hitting you baby one more time. Straight up. 5000/5. Bananas. Plantains if you like those more. read more

Can I give less stars? Massively overpriced, a ridiculous check in system that attempts to disguise the long wait. Why even let customers in before you can assist them? All this for dry weed.

People are going to know what's up. First of all, they are all about that bullshit. They are so boughie there it makes me want to knock their heads together to get somehow smarter than what is natural, just like Moses parted the sea. It would have to take a miracle for this place to ever get a handle on any mid-late 20s and 30 year olds as clients who even come back if it was to become the last dispensary on Earth. Waiting room was for the dead lady who could only breath through a full on oxygen facial covering mask machine leading into her via esophagus. This place says the wait isn't long but if they take long then at least you have this impending doom of a faux-tree cluttered room that looks like one single piece of furniture from every police auction was purchased separately. And still, they are hella boughie! Can you believe the nerve of their vibe?!? Okay, so let's get down to the nitty gritty. The products are cluttered, on top of each other, likely lost without their knowledge, and improbable to find anything at all, actually. Customer service is non-existent. Maybe I should have logged into ebay and bought a full face oxygen mask and machine first(?). Can I get some GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING assistant here on aisle YZV? No. I am still being my sweet self and waiting patiently, because truth be told, I am a patient individual- always have been and everyone notices it. So for anyone who isn't just like that naturally might end up in a Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler movie, probably called, Anger Managment II. This place gives you bad vibes. Like, damn, people die, yo. Or, sober, wow; life is so fragile. Jesus Christ. Who wants to go visit the chill ass dispensary when there is an 11 foot tall security guard both in the waiting room and inside the clinic(?) Yes, you heard me correctly. They have two armed guards. This place is on Ventura, in Sherman Oaks-Studio City. The shop isn't on 18th Street nor Crenshaw. This was such a bad disaster of a business that I couldn't honestly even compare 911 to it. (jk) Final thoughts are these: They tell you nothing about the weed strains and cannot even suggest what is a Sativa dominant hybrid or what it is. Also, they do not weigh anything in front of you and whatever you smelled or chose, is in the back and pre-packaged in a dangerous ass slice your hand apart while high tuna can. Like can opener type of shit. The weed is bunk and the worst I have ever had. Okay, WAIT! Stop, stop: I take it back! I called and they have my favorite Sativa spawn of OG Purple and Cookies- CANDYLAND. Two other dispensaries, including Puffy Delivery and MedMen are out of stock, and it'll be gone til November (Wyclef was manning both telephones jk). This place was actually like, legit the shit. Saw me so fast, Justin was awesome. Bought Green Crack and a Pineapple Express CBD cartridge. I am so high right now and have been allll dayo for yayo (not Yayo, though. For all you squares that means Cocaine.) and that high was the most Indica Sativa I ever did smoke. If I stop writing, I'll probably just go right to sleep. Anyway, they played cool jellies like "Return of the Mac" and I'm down. read more
