Green Times Collective (GTC) - North Hollywood - 8 Stars

Environment 1: So this neighborhood is pretty shitty. I used to live a half a block up the street and there is definitely multiple hookers on the corner every night of the week. For what ever its worth the sushi spot across the street, Chiba is actually legit.  Anyways, the parking lot is small, if its busy you will have to park on the street some where...depending on the time a day this could be an issue. Inside it is pretty nice. The waiting room is small but has a comfortable couch and is organized and clean. The budroom is medium sized and well organized. The budtender could locate each strain quickly. The room has lots of stuff, but it doesnt feel cluttered or disorganized. They definitely keep the area clean and in order. 

Staff 2: The bud tender was also the person who checked me in, they wern't busy so it was no problem. She was very helpful, answered all my questions and I could tell she actually cares about getting people exactly what they want. I was never rushed but she had a sense of urgency, which I really appreciate. I like to get in and get out. Great experience. 

Variety 1.5: Good variety on herb. Lots of choices in indicas, sativas and hybrids. No CBD strains. They had a good variety of edibles including Cheeba Chews and new to me, Green Hornets. Check my review of these awesome edibles HERE. They also had teas, drinks, deserts, hubby's, capsules and more all stored in a fridge, nice. I do not remember seeing any wax\hash, they might have had one strain but that was it. 

Quality 2: Good herb in this place, they even have a few lab tests to prove it. Although, no pesticides\ residual testing. The herb all was tasty, pretty though just somewhat smooth. Not bad, but not good either. I got the Duchess and it was very enjoyable. The buds were trimmed and cured well so it was still a pleasant smoke. Great selection on effective edibles...you can definitely count on coming in here and getting dosed properly. 

Price 1.5: $35 cap, pretty much everything fire. Cant go wrong. Cheeba chews and Green Hornets are a good price if you get 2.

Daily Care Center DCC - North Hollywood, CA 8 Stars

Environment 2: Its NoHo. There can be some characters walking on Cahuenga at night, but that is expected. Parking was easy, and directly in front of the building...during the day time it will probably be a little more difficult to find a spot as the area gets busy. The waiting room was clean and comfortable, as well as the bud room. Nothing was dirty or messy, everything as it should be. It is minimalistic but very modern, and pretty cool inside. They have an Ipad with their weedmaps menu loaded, and this is projected on the wall for all to see. Great idea, and their weedmaps menu is up to date, much better than some rinky-dink white board. No complaints 

Staff 1.5: The staff were friendly, good vibes. They got me in and out so quick, and their selection speaks for itself. I was shown what I asked for and had no issues. Didn't get to quiz them too much. 

Variety 1: Strictly herb. No edibles, no concentrates. That being said, the herb they have is pretty good. A good variety of budget to top shelf herb.  They had some $120 an O ish that looked pretty dank considering, their mid shelf is fire, and the topshelf is pretty ridiculous. They maybe have one or two heavily sativa dominant strains but of course most are pretty hybridy. The GreenCrack i got is a nice 70/30 sativa dom IMO. Did not see any CBD strains. 

Quality 2.5: BOMB BUD here! I asked for my usual sativa dominant\smooth smoke for my sensitive throat. With the FTP gift I was able to sample 3 different strains. I purchased the 3 g's of midshelf which is $10 per G and a half G of the topshelf for my gift. Every strain is VERY smooth, almost perfect. White ash, flavorful, full of trics...awesome. The topshelf CookieDough is amazing. If you like flower, you will love this spot. 

Price 1: Can't ask for much better. Their topshelf and midshelf are grown proper. They definitely know their herb... $10 per G for their mids is solid...and The topshelf you can get 5g's for $60...just over $10 per, so still good, especially for the high quality meds DCC carries. I wish a portion of my $ went into lab testing the herb, but I have no complaints about what I picked up...honestly my DCC buds smoke better than clinics that do test...and that is the most important to me. FTP deal is a free half G of ANYTHING on the menu, which is NICE.

Good club if you like flower. I will definitely be back here for the SMOOTH smoke they keep. Very impressed all 3 strains I sampled smoked so well. If they had some bubble hash, clear concentrate, and edibles; I'd come here on a regular basis.

Environment 
2 Stars: Weird one way back alley entrance, but decent sized parking lot. A couple of small restaurants next door. Nice area. No problems. Right Inside they have a metal detector you have to walk through. If you come with a friend, they recommend to have them wait in the waiting room. Do not loiter in the parking lot, the security guards will come talk to you. These guys follow the rules by the book, and run a solid establishment. Inside, its nice and clean. Decorated well, but not over the top at all. Bud room is well organized. LOTS of selection, so it can get a little overwhelming, but they are very well organized considering. They have a plexi-glass window with a large scale on it so you can watch them weigh your product. Attached to that is a large plexiglass tip box, and all 3 stations had lots of tips, and for good reason. You can't ask for any better.

Staff  
2 Stars- The security guard who greets you at the metal detector is VERY nice, maybe even overly nice, but hes very personable, if you like to talk he's your guy. He explains everything about the club, lets you know about special products they have in stock, informs you on their unique policies that set them above other clinics. Very informative. They check in process is no problem, they do ask you to read a piece of literature and they may quiz you on it.  This place does get busy, so you may have to wait sometimes. They DON'T RUSH YOU @ ALL. Once its your turn int he bud room they will sit there with you for 30 minutes if you want to. Everyone at the store is all about the customer service. Awesome. The bud tenders were nice, very talkative,  he did seem very knowledgeable.  All the bud tenders seemed to know about every product they have in stock, and they do have a lot. What my tender couldn't answer, he could ask one of the other employee's and one of them had it. Top notch staff and service.

Variety 2  Star - This place has it all. Edibles, Indicas, Sativas, Clear Concentrates (NO BHO), Hashes, Edibles, Tinctures, Topicals, Seeds, Clones, CBD stuff, Drinks, Foods, equipment, rick simpson oil... you name it. The sativas were plentiful, and FLAVORFUL! Its very hard to find a shop with as many different flavors as this place, what a treat. They have CBD strains of bud, edibles, clones, seeds, wax...they have  sativa and indica of all edibles and smokables, very high quality, and very economical quality that are still a quality smoke for sure. If you can't find it here, you probably can't get it anywhere. TLMD is one of few dispensaries in LA County that carries Clear Concentrates. I'll do a review on them, but they manufacture the REAL deal wax. Best I've ever had by far, makes BHO seem DISGUSTING! Highly recommend trying it. 

Quality 2.5 Stars- Excellent quality on everything. You can smoke as good as you want to on any category. I did get some of the Tangerine Dream, and it definitely was a bit harsh...and crackled with little sparkles when lit... however, It was on their lower shelf . The tangerine smell was spot on and intense, I couldn't pass it up. The harshness means it was not flushed the best. The Blue Dream Haze had an excellent flavor, very pronounced fruity berry smell, lots of trics, it was fairly smooth but not perfect by any means. The Strawberry Cough was a nice smoke. Quite smooth, but again not perfect. I was going after the fruity flavors I hardly ever see these days. I love the flavor game. I also got a couple edibles, the molly ranchers. they are a good value. Taste a little weird, but what edible doesn't. The concentrates were on point, clear concentrates, good bubble hash.... they definitely have the best of everything here, and some not perfect stuff, but they do serve a purpose  and offer a pretty much unbeatable variety. 


Price 1.5 Stars - 
Variety, Customer Service make this place probably the best value for the experience you get  in SoCal. I picked up 3 different strains, 1 gram each and 2 edibles (97 mg total) for $33....$35 with tip. What a  great deal. They definitely have  good deals on edibles and herb. They have high quality concentrates that are in high demand, so its not going to be rock bottom pricing on that, but you definitely are getting as safe and healthy of a product as you can find in a shop in socal. 

It doesn't get any better than this is SoCal folks! Get in there and enjoy!
