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
