place is garbage , overcharges for you too only have rec for a couple months. what a bunch of lames

not bad

They have signs up and down the boardwalk stating $40 for a rec, but then show you a table upping the price of the actual scrip for another $80-130.

This place is a scam the owners Sam and Lucy treat the employees like crap under pay them and scam ppl that can't legally step foot in a collective IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A LEGIT CALI ID YOU DO KNOW QUALIFY IF YOU ARE ONLY VISITING THE STATES YOU DO NOT QUALIFY AND WILL BE TURNED AWAY FROM DISPENSARIES

Stay away, I can not stress this enough. These guys are a COMPLETE SCAM. You get a $40 price quote... its advertised everywhere... and so I go in. After a 1.5 hour process(and only 2 minutes spent with the actual doctor) you get to the manager at the end to pay. They pop out a chart with their prices.. They tell you that if you have to choice to pay: $40 for 3 Months $80 for 6 Months $120 for 12 Months. And you can get a $25 ID Card... Complete Scam, nothing but scam scam scam. I told them right then and there that what they are doing is wrong, and something that is probably illegal too. I said that I refuse to pay that much, and that I was expecting to pay only $40 for a year. This is my 6th year of recommendation, NEVER have I had to deal with this subscription-like nonsense. Would your physician tell you that they would have to charge you 3x the normal price for a visit if you want refills on your medications? NO. I told them that I will not pay them, and they pulled out the paper I signed and initialed. I had initialed that I agree to pay if the doctor approves the recommendation. So I said they can do what they want, but I wont pay. I said that I could go many other places and get my full year for $35-40 without this BS. They said that if I don't pay the base doctor fee, they will call the police. I told them that is not how it works, and that they can just send collection agencies against me if they want. They threatened again to call LAPD. I refused to pay what they were asking. After a lot of haggling and resistance on my end, they cut the price in half. This is was an awful experience. Don't go here, and warn everyone you know! I am taking this place DOWN whether they like it or not. I am contacting the Medical Board of California as I am writing this.I am afraid of losing my recommendation or having them mess with me because I am doing what I can to warn people. Its a must. Who knows how many 100's of thousands of dollars they have ripped people off for. If you want more proof of their nonsense, I suggest you Yelp them. You will see 35 more reviews saying exactly what I am saying.

Straight up bait and switch. This is the absolute worst place you could ever go. They have multiple different price sheets they use based of how much money they think you have. Whatever the advertised price is.... that’s only the doctors fee. Once they get you into the private rooms that’s when the financial craziness begins. They’ll hold your ID/ LICENSE hostage. I’ve seen people walk out paying over a $1000. They will ROB you blind. Don’t know how they haven’t been shut down. STAY AWAY STAY AWAY. IM A LOCAL TO THE BEACH THIS PLACE IS AT. WE ALL DO NOT ENDORSE OR RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AT ALL DUE TO HOW THEY MAKE THE MMJ INDUSTRY LOOK.

$40 "to see the doctor" plus whatever else they feel like charging you. Your rec will cost easily over $200. There is a doctor less than 10 minutes away who will charge you $35/year, no hidden charges at all. They are more legit, will take less time, and cost you way less. You can look them up, they're across the street from Dunkin Donuts. These people are not professionals, they do not care about your condition, they do not care about helping people or their health. They barely pay their employees, and only the highest up are benefitting from ripping you off. The doctors are a joke, one consistently needs to be woken up throughout the day because he can't stay awake. If you don't have a California ID and want to get a weed card and don't mind paying $200+ for the experience, there will be a couple dispensaries you can go to. They have shitty quality/prices but you will get to go inside a dispensary. Other than that, you have NO reason to come here.

Advertise for $40 then walk you down the boardwalk, lock you in a room with a 'doctor' go through all of the paperwork and tell you it's $190 then force you to pay! Do yourself a favour and avoid these rip off merchants and apply for the license online. LYING SCUMBAGS!!

Venice clinics issue recs to out-of-state visitors. This is highly illegal. The rec is then invalid and cannot be used anywhere legally nor would any medicine consumption be legal. I am a clinic owner and have seen numerous patients sign up with us only to be turned away for not having proof of residency. These clinics DO NOT CARE and just pocket the money without a second thought to all the hungry tourists. Trust, YOUR REC IS INVALID AND YOUR WEED IS ILLEGAL IF YOU CANNOT PROVE CA RESIDENCY. Period. I have spoken on the phone with these clinics who just deny deny deny. HOW ARE THEY STILL IN BUSINESS??

$40 to see doctor $40 for every 3 months you want your rec (I.e. $160 for a year) $20 for online verification $20 for printed rec $40 for ID card. Total: $280.00

IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY WAY I COULD CONTACT THE GUYS ABOVE THESE FUCKS, OR LET ME KNOW IF YOU GUYS KNOW WHERE TO SEND AN EMAIL TO SOMEONE THAT HAS THE POWER TO SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN AND GET US OUR MONEY BACK AND MORE. MAKE A MOVEMENT TO SHUT THIS FUCK PLACE DOWN. LET ME KNOW. THANKS!!!!!!

RIP OFF DONT BOTHER !! Just use an online shop not these losers

Was looking for Green Goddess but found this place instead thinking all shops would be relatively the same. Seen where they have medical cards for $40 which I wasn’t really interested in was just looking for a vape. He pulled out this disposable that I could already tell was fake and said $50. The “doctor” there assured me it was THC-Delta 9 approved by CA. I kept saying no I was not interested in that price. He kept pressuring me to get a medical card through them. Needless to say I bought the vape at a major discount but later regretted it because it didn’t positively affect me, made me sick and I threw it out. I looked on the CA Department of Cannabis Control website and they are no where to be found.

Fake fake fake I was with some friends walking down the beach, when a dark male with some type of accent was saying it was only $40 to get a medical card ect jst like these other reviews complete scam. Only took 10 minute in some crappy rooms comes out and starts charging me $350 for 3 months $400 for 6 months and $550 for 1 year going based off my looks charging me a lot. I told him why to much and that you said $40 smh he starts adding the cost of the i.d card/ seeing the doctor. 5 mins later of arguing he won’t give me my id back nor let me go telling me I signed the paper complete bullS having to pay the doctor $40 & leaving losing money Please anyone never go to this piece of S*** place!! And someone shut this scam place down all they do is rob people !!!

This place is trash and a scam don’t go

Straight up SCAM!!! They have multiple different price sheets they use depending on how much money you look like you have. The owners are garbage. I shocked that High Times would allow a place this bad to be sort of their events.

Says $40 but it’s much more to obtain card...I’m still wondering does other states honor this card ??

OMMGGG JUST GIVE ME 5 MIN WITH EM!!!🤬

scam af

If I can give negatives stars I would. They take your id’s in one building, walk you 5 blocks to another building by some unhealthy fat dude in dirty scrubs only to be charged 40$ for evaluation by some lady with exaggerating face implants. Still had to pay 40 for a 3month license. No thank you. It’s a slippery slope. Stay woke.
