Higher Level - Hollister Big Buds

Nick is a great manager and a great person who keeps this place running like a well oiled motor. Love to see the fire products slowly coming back. Staff is smiling more and overall vibes are great. I hope they can start getting more fire products with thorough research on the companies, and on how they create their products. Continue to make Higher Level a place where not just general products are, but more overall experts and entrepreneurs choices of the plant.

Great customer service as usual.

2/4 visits I have left with no provider because of lack of product. Today they had 2 - 10 gram jars of flower I wanted. Scanned and wasn’t in inventory even though on display and in the drawer. So again left with nothing. I could buy less quality product but it would be nice to be consistent with good products.

Another bad visit. Last time visiting this spot. Not many options anymore. Pretty bummed I gotta drive to Santa Cruz now. Just in case anyone’s looking for a new spot since Stiizy bought this place (I know there’s a lot of yall) kind peoples in Santa Cruz has tons of options and a way less hectic experience overall. Peace

Not feeling the updates to this dispensary. Ordering online use to be a quick pickup, now you have to wait in the longest line just to pick up

Weedmaps is not linked to their active menu. Not all items are available

ggrizMorgan Hill / Gilroy / Hollister

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we apologize for the inconvenience. We understand how frustrating it can be when Weedmaps isn’t fully synced with our active cannabis dispensary menu and items you’re looking for aren’t available. Our inventory moves quickly due to high demand for quality weed, and we’re actively working to keep online menus as accurate as possible. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope you’ll give us another chance to provide a smoother dispensary experience next time.

Why out your staff through all this bullsh*t with stiizy? S**t was a mess today. Not coming back ever again. Would rather go to gilroy or literally anywhere else. Can’t ever get good things in this town

melonyeloMorgan Hill / Gilroy / Hollister

We’re really sorry to hear about your frustrating experience, and we appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback. Days with major transitions or high demand can be challenging, but that’s never an excuse for a poor visit at our cannabis dispensary. Your comments are being taken seriously and will be reviewed so we can better support both our staff and our customers. We truly hope you’ll reconsider in the future and give us another opportunity to provide a better shopping experience in Hollister.

Higher Level is doing better; they can only get a small amount of fire due to money ties. Raw garden is the best product on the shelf. A lot of the other brands are pure corporate boof. Can't wait tell Higher level saves their money on boof and just spends their money on fire. Need to push fire, not boof, as the city will also be then dealing with a handful of people smoking boof, not feeling good, still getting annoyed and taking that out into the town. If a bear gets berries, it's happy, if a bear gets poison ivy it's upset. Natural fire only. No boof. Please.

About us

How We Got Our Start

Getting our start as a medical cannabis dispensary in San Diego in 2010, Higher Level has been committed to providing second to none medicine and customer service to its members since its inception. In early 2015, after seeing a major void in the availability of Safe Access for MMJ patients in Monterey County, its founders (all from the Monterey Peninsula) decided to refocus their efforts and opened the newest Higher Level Collective in June of 2015.

How We Got Here

We have strived to bring great cannabis to the Monterey area since our original move to Carmel in 2015. In 2016 we made another move, this time to Castroville. Finally, since 2018, we have made our home in the heart of Monterey, the city of Seaside!Now in our beautiful new location in Seaside, we are excited to continue our mission to provide the best product quality, selection, and pricing on the Monterey Bay.

Our Community

We are so proud to be a part of a County like Monterey, and we do our best to get as many local quality products on our shelves as possible, feel free to ask what local products we carry (Monterey & Santa Cruz) to help support your local community.
