THC - Van Nuys, CA 5 Stars

16031 Sherman Way
Van Nuys, CA, 91406

Environment 
1 Stars: This spot was kind of hard to find, had to park pretty far away considering, the signage out-front was confusing. Once inside it was pretty cool, lots of interesting graff on the wall. Kind of a weird lay out with once you get past the check in, but relatively clean and organized once you get to the bud room.  

Staff  
1.5 Star- The check in person was fine, straight to the point, no complaints about that. The bud tender was very nice, she tried really hard to give you a good experience. Her knowledge was decent but she actually cared about getting you exactly what you want, which is awesome. She said the ATF was real nice and threw me in a free couple bowls of it to try. Nice. 

Ganja 

Quality 1 Star- Had some what looked like good strains in there, definitely some high thc content stuff available, not sure how it smokes tho. The hashes I got were OK for what they are, but not what I was expecting.  Supposedly they grow a few of their own strains and make the hash themselves. That is usually a good sign. The THC Bomb she said is their signature strain, tests out with very high THC content over 25%. 

Variety .5 Star - 10+ OG's, one or two sativas, a few hybrids. They one decent looking wax, and some not so decent looking wax. They have water hash, and they call it melt, and when I ask if it was bubble she said yes for both strains. I got a half g of Lambs Bread and a half g of the THC Bomb. Not often can you find a sativa hash, however it is not bubble. The THC Bomb does bubble, both are relatively smooth smokes and have rich aromas. OK variety of edibles, I eneded up getting one since thats what I came here for, but if I had time I would have went some where else. It was a Kitty's Munchies chocolate bar (wanna be Hubby bar) and it was below average. No Sativa edibles, nothing I had ever heard of, and it looked like none were heavy hitting.

Price 1 Stars - A $40 cap. not bad. The hash could have been better and they could have had more variety. its another middle of the road spot for the valley. I Probably wont be back, being there are better clinics close by, unless they get a strain in I'm looking for.

Green Cross Collective: GCC - Van Nuys, CA - 2.5 Stars

6644 Van Nuys Blvd, Van Nuys, CA 91405

I went here by accident, the weedmaps app is very buggy. I was in a pinch for time, so went for it.

Environment 1/2 star- 

Location is not bad, Van Nuys isn't the best area, but its not the worst either. Easy to access at night once the Van Nuys Court House is closed. There are about 7 shops with in a stones-throw distance from this place. The office itself is very small, and not very clean. its disorganized, it was very hot when I was in there. Check in process took longer than it should because their computer had a virus...

Staff  1/2 star- 

The owner is friendly enough, but his knowledge of ganja is seriously lacking. Almost every strain did not impress me what so ever and the menu was confusing, however he did say he had the "best sativa"...what ever that means. There was one other guy working there

Ganja 1 1/2 star-
Quality 1/2- 
Turns out the Blue Dream (a Hybrid) was actually pretty darn good. NICE typical Blue Dream smell, nice tricome production.  The herb smokes good, 8/10 smoothness, very tastey, not the most potent, but still decent, I have found a couple really small white hairs, probably dog, annoying but I am pretty used to that.
Variety 1/2- 
 Every other strain was uninteresting, smells were lacking, visually not pleasing, all indicas. Their concentrate selection was minimal, and not impressive. waxes were all mostly brown with a slight yellowy tint. Hashes were middle of the line. Not dirt, but not bubble. 
Price 1/2- 
I got 8 grams for $70 with some mid shelf hash thrown in for my first time patient deal. not bad at all. Slightly hooked up from what I am used to. 
The pricing is confusing, and generally speaking, not the best deal. I got a BoGo 1/8th deal, but if I didn't, the price wouldn't have been as good. 
I feel like I got the best deal I possibly could have at this spot with the best herb they have in stock...If I went in next week, I probably would not be so lucky. 

I was lucky they had ONE decent strain in stock however, I wont be going back here. The staff wern't jerks, but didn't know much. Very amateurish and unorganized. I doubt this guy is getting rich off this business, but thats his own fault. Pretty much everything could be improved upon with minimal efforts.
