Foothill Wellness Center - Tujunga 4 Stars

Environment 1: This shop is located in Tujunga, tucked up in the foothills off the 210. There is limited parking on foothill BLVD but luckily these guys have a decent sized gated parking lot all to themselves. Dope. I have been here twice and have not had an issue with parking.
Inside, its not the worst, but its not the best. Pretty dirty in the waiting room, has a slight funky smell to it. This room reminds me of a bachelor pad livingroom, not a medical facility. Most people would probably think its fine, but they could definitely clean up a bit. The couch looks old and is about to fall apart. They have a big screen in there where they always have sports playing (when available). The bud room is decently sized, fairly clean, not too cluttered. Not bad at all. the menu is displayed nicely for easy viewing. They don't have the organization down yet, when asking to see various strains off the menu it took quite a long time for the tender to locate the jar.  The jars are plastic airtight pop-top style... I always prefer glass, and if they looked into it, I'm pretty sure they would too.

Staff .5: The staff was what ever for me. In the two visits both bud tenders did not add to my experience, they did not serve me with any helpful information. The first time the tender told me that any dank weed is gonna have a "bite to it" when I asked him what was the smoothest dankest strain they had. He obviously doesnt know what he is talking about. They just seem like your typical stoners not really taking the whole MMJ thing too seriously, they just like getting high all day, which is fine, what ever floats your boat. For me, I look for professionalism and knowledge, if you are in this business I expect you to take it seriously and provide a great experience for the patients.  It takes the staff almost a full minute to locate each strain when you ask to see them, and they look at me like I'm the ass hole for wanting to check out a few of their strains. The security\check-in was fine, no issues there.

Variety 1: Lots of variety on the bud side of things. Had a decent selection of concentrates and edibles. The only thing CBD they had was a cheeba chew...and that was their only option for cheeba chews. Unfortunate as I would have picked up a sativa quad dose if they had it. Their other edibles were mostly desert selections which I am not a fan of. They did have 180mg Kiva bars, which are a solid performer. As far as concentrates go they have a good variety of different styles of BHO, most are indicas tho. They do carry the clear concentrates which is always a good sign. 

Quality 1: The quality of all the herb is hit and miss for me. The best nugs they have go quick, so if you don't come in right after a new shipment, good luck. I have gone there twice and tried 3 different strains, 2 out of the 3 were harsh. All looked decent, but were smoked just OK. Nothing wow'ed me or really made me want to come back for more. They do seem to have in new strains all the time, and I have gotten a couple strains from here that were fairly nice, but over all I was not impressed. This is a low donation spot, and you kinda get what you pay for here. Is it the worst? Not by a long shot. Your average smoker probably thinks this place is great, but there are better options even for the same low donation.

Price 1.5 : $30 cap is the best you can do in SoCal right now, and for the price, the herbs arn't too bad. However, for me personally its hard for me to find something I know I will like, its pretty much a crap shoot. This is the downside of a low Cap clinic, its not going to be as consistent as the expensive places, generally speaking. They have budget BHO and edibles to boot, if that is your thing.

Overall its a cool spot for rock bottom priced herb, however I visited this shop twice to really give them a chance to impress me and it didn't happen. You can easily spend $5 more and get a much better experience and meds. Just a regular middle of the line bud shop for me, but at least they have compassion and offer a low donation price, I will give them props there...but hey, maybe a couple PR strains that are truly high quality for $5-$10 more might not be a bad idea.

Super Jack - A decent smoke. 

Girl Scout Cookies - ZERO flavor\smell\terps

Green Life Caregivers - Tujunga - 4 Stars

Environment 1: This strip on Foothill BLVD in Tujunga is PACKED with dispensaries!! Pretty crazy! you can see medical containers on the ground EVERYWHERE! Parking is a bitch...its Tujunga. I went to this spot by accident. I was trying to go to another spot 2 doors down, but with the heavy presence of police and almost no parking I unknowingly went into the wrong place. Was in a rush so I went for it. The waiting room is fine, not dirty. Pretty small. The bud room is a nice size, and pretty organized. They have a TV and couches for when they get bored. You can tell they clean on a regular basis but with such a basic selection of meds, that is not hard to do. 

Staff 1: The staff here was what ever for me. The security guy was quick and to the point, which I do appreciate. It seems like he was running the place, dictating to the bud tender what deals to give to me. The bud tender was overly friendly surfer\skater type... that's fine, but he obviously didn't know his stuff. He recommended to me to try the Kush Shots, which I did, and was totally disappointed with. When I asked him about what strain was the best grown and smoothest smoke, he started talking to me about which strain was the wettest...and there for it burns cooler because the water in the plant cools the flame.... right.... I'm not into random theories and suggestions with no factual basis... just say you don't know brah. 

Variety .5: They had two sativas in stock, a few hybrids a few indicas. Pretty small flower selection, I'd say around 15-20 strains total. Weak edible selection, best thing they had were the cheeba chews. No concentrates. No CBD. 

Quality .5: I got 2 grams of Jack, it was suppose to be the smoothest they had. It was just OK. 5\10 on smoothness. Decent potency. OK scent. Everything they had just looked OK to me, nothing ridiculous. They had some stuff I wouldn't touch for sure. If you are into OG's and don't care about how well the salts are flushed, then you would probably not mind this place. For me, below par for sure.

Price 1: Here is where this place is pretty good... $35 cap. Not bad....but there are definitely better values. Not BAD, but not Great.... Who cares if there is a low cap if you cant find anything you like. They did give me 2 free joints which weren't bad...flavor was lacking, but they did smoke decently and gave decent effects....sativa dominant even! I got 2 g's for $20 along with 2 FTP gram joints...4 grams for $20 is pretty good. This kept my experience here positive. 

Sub Par. If you are in Tujunga there are better spots, even 2 doors down. These guys look new, who knows how long they will stay around, but for any veteran smokers this place isn't going to get a lot of repeat business. 

Healers Of Tujunga (HOT) Tujunga, CA 5 Stars

Environment 1: Parking is not plentiful in the Hills of Tujunga. Inside the shop, its small but pretty clean. Not super organized, but its not dirty or hectic in there. Very basic. Does not have that professional touch. 

Staff 1: The staff were very friendly. Didn't seem too knowledgeable, when I bring up how I am after the smoothest smoking sativa they have, I can tell they have no idea what to recommend  Pretty standard. They were very nice and helpful and did their best. Family vibe inside.

Variety .5: Not much for variety, only a couple edible selections, not much in the sativa department, no concentrates. 5 or more OG's plus a few more indica strains, and 1 or two hybrids with one or two Sativas.

Quality 1: The bud they did have looked pretty good. Visually speaking all the nugs were trimmed nicely and had lots of trics. The smells were a little off on some for the strain its said to be, but overall pretty good. I got the Paris OG and the Headband. Both got me nice and sedated, but were a bit harsh 3/10 smoothness factor, and these were apparently their smoothest.

Price .5: 45 cap. Just OK for me. They do have some decent bogo deals to get you closer to the 10 per g mark...but definitely below average.

Overall the experience was just OK. Nothing bad, but nothing too good either. I wen't here because they were open till 10pm and I was in the area, which is a big factor and am glad they are there for that purpose. Would I come back ? If It was late, and I was in the area, sure...but I'd probably just get a gram or a pre-roll to hold me over.
