Fruity and green

This is another one of the strains where looks are better than the bite. A sweet strong fresh strawberry smell with a lighter green and red hairs. I purchased an 8th of this and thought it to be a good quality but lacking in overall potency. A great flavor but a light smoke. Burned well.
Buds were dense and small
I've had better versions of this strain but found this to be tasty and refreshing
This was dryer than most of the strains that I have gotten out of NCPC.

Dark Cheese

I got 1g of this becuase I like Cheese as a strain. I first had some cheese when I went to Phish Fest 8. It was Monday morning and a lovely girl sold me 4g for $29 cuz that was all I had. This was pristine bud. I have been looking for it since.
This was a good variety of this strain. A darker green. Hairy. I enjoyed this but it was not the special sweet cheese I was looking for. Gave a good stone and had a thick smoke. Was well cured didn't have to light it much. A sour taste like a fine fromage.

Quality OG strain

I purchased 1g of Phantom OG here after mistaking the pricing on the Jar. I asked for an 8th but thought it was going to be $25. After realizing this was going to be $55 I settled for the 1g, and wish I had purchased the whole 8th. This has been one of my favorite overall strains, I think because I only had 1g.
A lighter green and a bit frosty with a good amt of crytals. well cured. Fairly dense with a few small leaves that were quite frosty.
A good smoke that was expansive and tasty. Very fresh and sweet flavor.

Purple Funk is good

This nice purp afgani cross was a quality find for a reasonable price. A pleasant smell that was fresh and clean, a good deep green with a moderate amount of crystal and orangey hairs.
I found this to be very well cared for and gave a quality buzz after smoking. Smoked well didn't have to light it too much. Smoke was a bit expansive.
The one thing i had trouble with at this shop was there are so many prices on the jars I coudn't keep track of which price went to which amt I was looking for. I bought an 8th of this for $45 and was happy with the overall quality, not the best but for the price it worth it. would get this again.

Sweet goodness

The Chocoberry is a good choice for $55 for 3.5g. I find the strains at NCPC at the $55 range are as good as some of the other top shelf buds I have seen for more. The $65 is almost not worth it when the $55 is just as good.
I found this to have a real sweet smell with a chocolate note at the end, very inticing. I liked the dense buds with lots of crystals and orange hairs. This strain is sold as a hybrid strain. Not able to tell which is more prominent in this I would think Indica.
A thick slightly expanding smoke has a nice crisp fresh taste.
The grower definitely cares for and loves his crops, this is nicely cured and smokes very clean.

looks pretty but not very strong

I liked the orange and green colors of this strain right away, but looks can be deceiving. Sold as an Indica strain for $45 for 3.5g is not that bad. The bud was a little loose and dry. Has some crystals. When smoked has an earthy flavor at the end that might indicate a soil grow for this strain. It is not very potent but topped with a little LA Gem hash makes for a nice quality medication that will get you feeling right again.
I didn't find anything wrong with this strain it just wasn't exciting or special. Good stuff to smoke all day and not feel like you need to sit and melt for a while.

Ogre is big and sweet

I liked this right away when I saw it in the case. Nice full buds. a bit frosty with a nice green color with red hairs and a sweet smell.
A very expansive thick smoke with a great sweet taste and is very potent. I found myself enjoying this too much. I would overdo it and find myself stuck on the couch, but feeling very happy and content to sit there.
I would get more of this it is cured up great, a lot of love and care went into making this a sweet plant.

Frosty w/ a chocolatey goodness

I got an 8th of chocoberry for $55. A good deal I think. The bud is thick and frosty has a bit of a chocolate and berry smell to it. Very pleasing. A mid-priced strain labeled as a Hybrid.
Very well cared for and cured nicely, has a lot of oraney hairs and very crystally.
The smoke is very thick and a bit expanding.
I am impressed with the strains for $55/ 3.5g at NCPC, they are not the super bomb dank buds but they are of high quality and look to be grown with care and love.
I found that this gets me pretty medicated with a bit of a loss of motivation. So go easy.

Jack one is #1

This strain was one of my favorites I have smoked here in California.
A very nice green, super sticky, great smell.
I liked this so much that i have purchased it twice. I haven't bought another strain more than one time, but this was so good I had to get more.
Smoked out of pipe first and thought wow this is so good. Then I broke out the small bong, cleaned it, put in some fresh water and packed it up. WOW! this tasted so good.
This is very strong and expansive smoke. Filled up the bong thick.
I got stuck on the couch for a while after.
If you see this strain get it, don't look elsewhere just get this one.

My journal has 4 stars and super heady written next to this strain.
I got just a gram of this and wish I had gotten more. a very beautiful green and crystally flower w/ nice little hairs.
A dense appearance and strong smell are right in line with this strain, making it one of my favorites.
1g is never enough of something you like.
An expanding smoke with a great flavor and good high. I found myself going back to this again and again, but then I found I didn't have any more. The taste was good and made me feel better.

good but dry

This strain looked much better than it tasted.
Frosty and green, seemed a bit dry, crumbly, very fragile.
IT was dense and had a good smell.
Gave a good smoke but didn't have the best taste. For the price it should have been better. This is actually the least favorite strain I got from this store.
I don't know what kind of conditions this strain will help combat, but it did help calm me down and keep me sedate. Always a plus.
Sometimes looks can be deceiving and this is one of those times. This definitely looked like some dank nugs but didn't have the taste and smoke of soem of the other strains from here.

Small spot with Good people and meds

IMA is a cool little shop hidden down the walkway just off Robertson. A large sign on the front of the building makes it easy to spot.
When I went here I did not have my california ID but called ahead and asked if passport was ok, and it was. I planned a visit here after reading about how the prices here were for everybody. I got a txt that said $200 ozs. I had to check it out. My wife and I were headed to marina del ray for Cubensis and stopped here on the way.
Sunday can be a pain and I have read about how some reccomendations are not verifiable on sundays. After an initial hold up with the doctors office not answering, together we figured out how to get me verified. The guy at the front also remembered me calling ahead, that was nice. Verification complete and I was allowed access.
The entrance is locked and a small buzzer lets you through the outer door and into a small steel caged area, that had a door buzzed in, then into the cramped waiting room. Your not there long enough to worry about the small size.
Enter the back and it is also small in size but colorful and decorated more than most places. a very comfortable feeling. I was greeted politely and given a run down of the place.
I said I wanted to check out the $200 oz stuff. I was told they didn't have an oz of it left but would show me it anyway. A large canister came out and A largre long bud was inside. Looked like an outdoor strain. Not too tight, but had a good smell. I quickly realize I don't want this, and look around some more.
I was impressed with their selection and pricing. A great variety and good sliding price scale. The one thing that confused me was that they had the pricing listed on the lid, but there were too many. from 1g, 3.5, 7, 14, 28. I looked at Phantom OG and thought it was $25/ 3.5g, I was wrong. Turns out it was $55 for the 3.5. It would be totally worth it. I asked for an 8th but after realizing the cost I got just a gram of this. I also got an 8th of Afpurp, which for $45 is well worth it.
What impressed me here was the budtenders use of the magnifying light on the counter. Sticking the whole jar under it making it like 3d buds in your face. Can get great detail of it, and makes it oh so pretty.
1st time patients are given a gift pack, complete with cheap small glass pipe, pack of papers and a cheap lighter. Everything one needs to get medicated.
I noticed that they sold t-shirts there. I asked about them and if they sell many. I was told some, but just the one's they have. I asked because I hadn't seen any shirts for sale at any other shops. It interested me because I have a t-shirt I sell on ebay that says "i'm high on life" on the front set in a happy cloud and sun. On the back it says "...and weed!" I love this shirt and get many compiments. I didn't have one with me, but asked if they would be interested in buying/selling some. The tender told me that i should definitely bring one in next time. I haven't been back but plan on bringing one.
You can check it out here :

Overall i liked the colorful bud room, and the people who worked there get a thumbs up for being cool and aproachable even to someone who is a new patient. I would say 3.5 stars closer to 4 stars.
I'll be going back here sometime soon.

A strain for all budgets

I went to medx after reading reviews from another site and seeing that they had a great strain selection and a sliding price scale for all budgets. I went in hoping to get an 8th for cheap to see what their lower priced strains were all about.
The place is small right on 16th street off the 10. There are a couple parking spots in front of the store. I was greeted nicely and verified quickly. A specials menu was in the waiting room and I got a heads up before I entered.
After being verified, I enter the back thru 2 large steel doors that slam if you don't close them yourself. Arriving in the back I was greeted by the budtender and offered a handshake. I was then given a short tour of the area, beginning with the concentrates section. Concentrates are sold in .2/.5/1g sizes from $5-35. They had a great selection of concentrates too. Hash and Kief in diff strains.
The next display case had three shelves with low to high grade strains from bottom to top. Another display had some glassware and further on is the cooler with drinks and other medibles inside.
I looked at a few different strains in the $30-35 range. The tender opened up a few different canisters and the smell that came from them was all kind of the same. A strong smell that was not the smell of dank nugs. The buds in this range were golden and green. Nothing special. As the price increases here so does the quality of the buds. Top shelf stuff was top shelf material.
In the end I got 3.5g of Orange kush, has a dark forest green and bright orange hairs, looks nice. Weighed out when you choose. Not pre-weighed. I have smoked this and find it to be a good mid-grade strain, with a mediocre taste. Gives a good buzz but not overpowering. All in all worth it for the price.
There is a patient reward system. Save 8 receipts and get a gift when you bring them in. They total your donations and then give you a percentage off your order, depending on how much you spent over the 8 visits. First time patients get pre-roll house blend. this is less than impressive. It is a regular 1.25 paper with a filter that takes up about 1/3 of the area. the rest is loosely packed and squished flat. Haven't smoked so don't know about taste.
Overall a pleasant experience and my wallet doesn't hurt. I was disappointed to see a large stem in my jar. I would return here if i am in the area, or if I go to the Hydroponics shop next door. Next time i go i will definitely get a top shelf item and not be cheap. But I am out to try different strains in different price ranges all over. Can't just talk about top shelf all the time.
I did check out the Downtown Hydroponics shop a couple doors down, and Max helped me to get an understanding on where to begin with a light and grow set up. So check that place out too.

get what you pay for

I went to medx because of the large sliding price scale they have. Some 8ths start at $25. I was hoping to get something cheap to hold me over until sunday when I got to another place for their pre-roll special.
This strain is Orange Kush. Has a foresty green color with orange hairs. Dense, a little dry and stemmy.
When you crack open the canister the smell of mid grade strain hits you right away. I was a bit surprised when I opened it up to find that a stem that ran through the bigger bud in the batch. Seems like it could have been broken off and saved the weight. My receipt says 3.6, but it's more like 3.2 bud and .3 stem weight. This i don't like. Most other shops I have been to remove stems like this one.
I got home, cleaned the small bong I use and filled it up. I picked a small piece and didn't really break it up. I lit it and it didn't seem to want to light well. The smoke was light, not so thick. I had to keep re-lighting it. Exhaling left a taste I did not enjoy.
It's been about and hour and fifteen mins and I still have a buzz, but I am awfully hungry and a little headache coming on. Maybe I just need some more water. I can never seem to get enough.
I believe this is an outdoor strain, but not sure.
Overall this is definitely a get what you pay for strain.

Close to home and always enjoyable

This shop has become my favorite and turns out is very close to home.
I went here and was greeted and verified quickly and was even given an clear plastic sleeve to keep my reccomendation in. This shop requires you to bring it every time. I don't mind.
A good size parking lot, which needs repaving, but is good. Inside a small waiting room with a tv and some art on the walls. After verification head to the back and see 2 large display cases with lots of canisters in them. A large Flat screen tv serves as the menu, which is updated regularly.
A quick squirt of hand sanitizer and you can touch and check out every strain in the case. There are 2 guys and 2 girls who work here regularly. Everyone is friendly.
A variety of strains ranging from low to high with a cap at 65 for 8ths.
They have a great variety of hash concentrates and edibles.
Great specials and deals for first time and returning patients. First time patients get a $15 gram or can upgrade to a $20 gram for $5. Referrals also get bonuses but haven't referred anyone yet.
Tuesday and Thursday they take $5 off the 4g price, so get a 4g 8th for the price of 3.5g.
Wednesday and Sunday are great days to go. Get a pre-roll J with $10 donation. These pre-rolls are awesome. Always a different strain, got a Jack herer last, nice coned J's that come individually packaged and labeled.
Spend $100 and get a J too. 1 J for every hundy you spend. Spent $250 and got 2 freebies.
Concentrates are well priced from $10/ .5g, or 24 for 1g.
Always a special on oz and half oz's. Usually 2 strains listed and the oz tops out at $260 or so. real good deals.
Overall I enjoy going here, everyone is nice and the more I go the more I feel comfortable with the people there. I like going and will continue. I like to take the pre-rolls when we travel somewhere so I don't have to take a pipe, and always get 2 or 3 uses from the J between my wife and I.
If you go here I am sure you will like it. The shop isn't the most inviting place I have been but the meds and the peeps make up for it.
Also I was there on July 4th and got my pre-roll and a "boom bites" cookie as a special gift for the 4th.

1st Dispensary I visited

MCA is a good place to get started in LA. There is a Doctor upstairs that you can get your reccomendation and then down to this shop around the back of the building.
Quick verification after going to the Doctor and I was in. There is a waiting area in the front to wait for verification. They have coffee and water available. I've heard they even serve breakfast in the mornings. I was there in the afternoon so I did not see.
Ushered into the back through a cavernous room to the bud room. A large white dry erase board had quite a list of strains in all price ranges.
There was another patient in there while I was there. I spoke with the budtender who seemed knowledgeable but also preoccupied with the other patient.

The strains ranged in price I didn't take note of the prices here, but seemed good.
I got: 8th of Snow Kush and 8th of Skywalker OG for $100. I liked the choices I made.

Snow kush was light and crystally. Gave a good smoke, really expansive.
Skywalker was also very good.

I noticed that some of the other strains which were said to be grown outdoors looked brown and not so good, but the selection was enough that you could find good meds at good prices.

First time patients receive a pre-roll. This was not good. It was in a cigarette style paper, complete w/ full size filter. It was only about 3/4 full and the product inside did not taste good.

Overall pricing is good here, people were friendly, with wide selection. I visited here because of the Doctor and have found other good places closer to me, but would go here again if I was in the area and needed something.

my first meds

This is 1 of 2 strains I got at the first Dispensary I went to.

The Skywalker was listed on the board behind the counter as top shelf strain. I thought the price was good for this. I think 55 is a cap at this place on 8ths.
This flower was dark green with orange hairs. Had an earthy tone to the smoke. I thought is smoked fast. It seemed cured properly but still seemed to smoke out fast.

After a couple bowls of this I sat back and was part of the couch for about an hour completely medicated and happy for the first time in California.
I've found that a lot of people really enjoy the Skywalker strain but for me this was not my favorite. I like the smoke and the high but overall thought the taste and quick burning of it to be a draw back.

Snowy Snow Kush

I liked this a lot. It was very white and frosty looking like something named snow kush should be. The smoke was expanding and thick. It burned very slow and long, got me well medicated.
I got an 8th of this for 45. I thought it is a good price.
At the same shop I got an 8th of Skywalker for 55 and I liked the snow kush more. Had a crisp fresh flavor that the skywalker did not.
The shop had a a variety of flavors and some were not so good. but after examining all the other strains I was very happy to have this.
