The Apothecarium - Castro

I smoke a lot and I was to choose to go to any dispensary it would definitely not be this one. Selection was poor. The way the shop operates was weak compared to other shops that I've been to

Went for the 1st time to get CBD for a family member going through nicotine withdrawal. The place is decidedly fancy, and clearly is used to um... helping old, uncomfortable 1st timers through the process. And, the CBD pills we got were remarkably effective for said family member, who went from climbing the walls, crazy irritable, agitated to relaxed, fine, just a little sleepy in like a hour.

Excellent service. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxed. Each customer speaks one on one with a consultant. Very nice staff and easy check in process.

This place is an unnecessarily over the top experience, I’m just trying to buy some weed, not go to a fancy hair salon. It’s always really busy and you have to wait half an hour in overly bright lighting to buy anything and also they make you fill out all this paperwork and scan your ID and take all this information for no reason. You’re way better off going to BASA if you’re just trying to buy a quick joint and go.

Beautiful interior with comfortable seating for waiting times, which wasn't very long at all. Friendly staff and helpful greetings made the first time very easy. The selection Is really good for actual cannabis with a fair amount of edibles and pen options as well. A really nice rewards program too something I don't see too often.
