[B] Dank ogs but a bit pricey and nothing too special... I was driving down Katella with my homie zack, he has a weedmaps app. on his iPhone so i wanted to check out a shop real quick... his phone said O.G.C was about 100 feet from us because we were on gilbert. i found the building very quickly and parking was nice and easy except for the recycling center in the same parking lot :( there was a lot of traffic surrounding the recycling center so i can see how that might get annoying... The suite is nice and classy, decorated but not overdone :) Verification was super quick, one page (front & back) new patient sheet and everything :) ended up only taking about 3 minutes... I walked through a short hallway and entered a door to my direct left into the bud room :) I was helped by a cute little female bud tender... she was fairly knowledgeable on basic stuff regarding strains and prices, but a few questions were somewhat over her head. she may have been a bit overmedicated while assisting me but at least she was friendly and energetic... i just would have felt more comfortable with a bud tender who knows a little more about certain strains and their lineage, etc... i know i am picky, but there is so much good medical cannabis why waste your time with mediocre meds? i don’t mean she was pushing shit on me to get it off the shelf, but may not have been fully aware of all the best and most potent strains on deck... I went with the botanical og which i ended up enjoying the most of the 3, but if i hadn’t noticed how dank it looked i wouldn’t have seen it. for some reason she didn’t put it out when i asked for ogs??? But it all worked out in the end of course. Next the papa's og, and last the Virgo og... my 2nd favorite was the Virgo og, it was super fresh :) Overall Organic Garden Collective has the flavors to match up with almost any club but the wow factor was kinda missing for me.... thanks anyways :) PAPA'S OG = nice frosty crystal clear trichomes, light green with very long spread out tannish orange hairs, golden yellow and green inside, minor shades of light purples, spicy earthy aroma, pungent hints of pine and lavender, great fresh og taste, fairly earthy with hints of pine and something sour? // great indica body lock, long lasting buzzy feeling, intense potent medicine... VIRGO OG = beautiful vibrant green nuggs caked and laced with mature amber, golden, and clear trichomes, looks like morning dew on grass, pungent earthy og smell, very distinct hints of maple and sweet pine, heavy pine taste, nice sweet taste, left my mouth feeling fresh, smooth smoke :) // hard hitting heavy indica buzz, kinda energetic, painkiller if needed, bed time solution if needed, great distinct potent medicine... BOTANICAL OG = amazing darker green velvet nuggs, bright orange hairs close together, crystal clear trichomes, vibrant lime green inside with perfectly formed dew drop trichomes everywhere, dense, super sticky, nice mellow og aroma with bursts of roses and fresh earthy hints, wonderful og taste, heavy earthy taste, lots of sage, pine, and fresh roses :) // crushing indica body buzz, couch lock, no pain, no stress, relaxed, long lasting, mild sativa buzz, great potent medicine... MASTER x BUBBA = got a gram of this for free for being a new patient :) not bad looking, frosty inside, spongy, fresh, lacking pungent aroma, mediocre taste, kinda plain and earthy but can’t cry about free flowers // average indica heavy mid-grade body buzz, decent medicine... NICE UPSCALE SUITE, QUICK VERIFICATION, DANK OG AND INDICA STRAINS, KINDA PRICEY DONATIONS... SPACEY BUDTENDER, FREE GRAM OF MASTER BUBBA :) THANKS ANYWAYS O.G.C... -jake

[A+] Soma :) I was staying by the Oakland convention center and really wanted to go down to embarcadero to check out this health center... my parents were going out to eat that night so i suggested a restaurant right next to this shop. The place was big and the address was easy to see, i took a cab so i didn’t park but parking looked great... the security guard out front checked my recommendation and let me in pretty quick, my new patient papers were quick. i got a new patient tour, the facility was super nice and majestically decorated :) after my tour i was turned loose to view the flowers, clones, edibles, massage room, extracts, etc... i loved their selection and the staff is very helpful :) i wish i didn’t live 7 hours away from this dank shop... great medicine, great prices, and overall great environment. i can’t wait until I’m back in Oakland :) SOMA A+ = deep, rich, fruity aroma, frosty dank look, purple nuggs, great earthy taste, with fruity hints // deep intense indica body buzz, high CBD%... long lasting, great 100% indica medicine... HASHWRECK = purple frosty nuggs, fruity skunky aroma, great taste // mostly indica buzz, heavy hitting, long lasting, great potent medicine... PURPLE FIRE x HEADBAND = wow, bomb purple frosty look, skunky smelling, purple taste with hints of spice and citrus :) // great uplifting sativa buzz, strong long lasting indica buzz, potent relaxing medicine... THIS IS A REVOLUTIONARY SHOP AND EVERYONE WITH A RECCOMENDATION SHOULD STOP BY IF EVER IN THE BAY AREA, THE VERIFICATION AND TOUR TAKES A LITTLE TIME SO DONT GO IF YOUR IN A HURRY, BUT TAKE THE TIME TO ENJOY THIS TRUE JEMM :) GREAT HELPFUL STAFF, DANK EVERYTHING, THANKS HARBORSIDE HEALTH CENTER :) -jake
