Been to a few other dispensaries that have given me way better prices and I'm not even a medical member! I walk in expecting to get an ounce of Veritas $165 pretax like it's advertised on their website instead I walk out with an ounce for just under $220, their excuse? "Due to covid we cant give any medical discount" Seriously, for a first time customer i can tell you i will not be coming back to this dispensary.

They have good products, but EVERYTIME I come here I'm waiting for 30 minutes and there's 3-5 people who come AFTER I do and get a chance to go inside before me. When I specifically tell the bud tender to not get me a specific strain and they do the complete opposite and give me what I didn't ask for it makes me feel like I waste my time and money.

You guys used to be awesome....not so much anymore. Get your stuff together man!!! LI shouldn't have to drive by 20 times a day just to see if you have 1 parking spot open so I can sit in my car and wait over 2 hours for my medicine. I can't order online. I can't stand outside a wait (even with a mask on and social distancing). I need medicine and you guys are making it more than difficult. Gonna have to become a member at a better dispo! Hope y'all do lose all your members ‍

After waiting over a hour to get in, the budtender was very rude. Was not helpful & got attitude when I asked questions about products. Also i was 2 days late to redeem my monthly gift for my EPC count and she refused to show any love. They are growing 36 plants for me and still give me attitude and show no love. I do not recommend signing your EPC over to them. Their rewards program is trash.  Budtenders  are very rude and there is always a reason long wait to get in.

Love shopping here no one beats the prices and welcoming service from the budtenders! Love this place you guys kill it seriously   Sam and Asia killing the game with kindness

Every time I come here the wait is close to an hour, if not more. The staff doesn't seem to care about the customers and aren't very knowledgeable. I understand the parking lot is small, but maybe parking wouldn't be an issue if everyone wasn't waiting in their cars!

I signed over my med card to these assholes, so I could use my extended plant count. They have given me the run around for a month now. Literally since April 14th when I became a patient there, all I hear is "it'll get put in the system as soon as the manager gets here. But I guess he hasn't shown up for work this month apparently, because every time I call and show up personally, he's never there. I've done all the necessary paperwork, and now there holding my card hostage so I can't even use my extended plant count anywhere else. The extended plant count cost me $500, that they have now fucked me out of a full month of using it. Do not go here unless you want to wait in line for over 2 hours, just to get treated like shit.

Terrible! I came in and showed them my card on my phone. First it couldn't be a screenshot so I had to go to the website and show them it. Then I had to email them my card but it couldn't be a screenshot it had to be the actual pdf file. I explained that I don't know how to do that on my phone and was pretty much ignored. Then as I'm trying to figure it out the guy at the desk nonchalantly tells me the wait is an HOUR AND A HALF. There's two other people in the waiting room so I don't know where he got that figure from but there's no way I'm checking in then sitting around for almost two hours, regardless of how good the concentrates are. The entire experience really soured me on this location. I'm glad it worked for other people but I would honestly question their sanity to wait that long for a dispensary that can't even explain how to get a med card into their system.

Be prepared! If you work a 9-5, don't ever expect to be able to shop at this dispensary and get your medicine. They are constantly shutting down and not taking anymore patients well before they're actually supposed to close just because they think they're too "busy". Find bud tenders that actually want to work and get every patient their medicine as long as they have checked in before they ACTUALLY close, not two hours before closing time. Everyday I get a text saying they're closing 2+ hours before their already early closing time for a MED shop. Horrible customer service.

A former employee whistleblowed on their grow op. Company has been known to use unregulated products for pest management, plants have mold issues as well as aphid infestation. They also spray their plants with nutes til harvest which most growers know is a huge no no. DO NOT GO HERE

Window shoppers from all throughout the state, and these losers won't expand. Prepare to wait literally 30-45 minutes for your product. Just asinine.

Worst bud tenders in denver work here... cant believe how unenthusiastic everyone who works here is, especially budtender dude with the long hair. Gave me an extra dollar back with my change on accident after making me switch out an item that brought me 70 cents over my bill... How stoned are these employees? Funny how much this place changed for the worse. Will never be back, theres nothing in the store worth coming for

Been to the standing akimbo twice in the last year. The first time I asked for an oz of dank shit, and the bud tender immediately gives me an oz of the least dank weed they had their. At 13% thc. Oh but he didn't tell me back till I got back home and checked the label. Funny thing was I got in with my phone that day with my online Medical card. Today I tried to come in for another try, but no, suddenly they do not accept the online card, and the stupid Mexican Bitch with glasses at front desk said she shouldn't even let us in even with our cards cuz we asked to use our online ones. She had a bitchy attitude , fucking put me in a shitty mood. Fuck this place never coming back

Awful customer service. Rude. Not taking proper steps to make customers aware of new social distancing procedure, just yells at you to get out of their store when you try to come in. Im usually impressed with the price and quality of the buds. But if your customer service is THAT bad its not worth it to me to return. As a medical patient i take this very seriously. I have a lot of physical issues that lead me to utilize cannabis as medication. I do not come to this location often nor am i a member due to the far distance i travel to get there. Took an hour long drive to get yelled at an turned away. Had to call to ask the procedure and upon finding out i need to make an appointment, there is not one till april. How the hell is there not availability? Not to mention the attitudes of the individuals when i barely entered the OPEN DOOR to the dispensary. There is such a cocky superiority complex that is bleeding out of these people. Treat your customers like patients not pieces of sh** that pay your bills. I will NEVER return to this dispensary will do everything i can to make sure people I know do not go here. Fix your customer service if you dont want your crappy business to fall apart.

Beat prices in town they are always looking to help you weather flower concentrate or pens they have what u need at great price points

Great prices on concentrates, and a huge selection. Flower is good, really enjoy the honey banana, and the dolato. Edibles and carts priced fairly as well. Friendly and helpful staff, I will continue shopping here.

This place is my go too! Their prices are fair and the flower is great. Also, one of the few places I have found that don't try to rip you off royally for vape cartridges. Even when it's busy, they're usually pretty quick to get you in. They have specials every day too

Some of the best products and great prices! Monthly member benefits are cool too. Dj, and the rest of the staff have always been super kind and quick! Because the dispensary is so great, sometimes the waits are a little crazy! Overall I'd recommend to check them out!

By far the best Med Dispo in denver. It's so popular that the line is usually pretty long unless you get there at a good time. If you're buying in bulk like I do, then you'll want to make the trip and it's by far worth the wait. The best hash options live at standing akimbo... from $20/g live resin $ budders, to $45 rosin (evergreen) and MANY BRANDS IN BETWEEN...Akimbo is without a doubt the best quality in denver for the best price. The 1k mg edibles (robhots) are $35-$40 or less... HAVENT SEEN PRICES LIKE THESE ANYWHERE. Budtenders are mostly friendly but they do a TON of volume, so be patient and know they are just trying to do their job. I REFUSE to go to any other dispensaries as Akimbo has phenomenal membership programs and their products/pricing are consistently better than the industry standard. The SHIT reviews on Yelp are not at all representative of this company. People just fucking complain at everything now a days... smoke some weed and RELAX people. THIS IS A MUST TRY DISPO FOR MED PATIENTS -- coming from a 3rd year member.

I've had my med card for 4 years now and my plants have only ever been signed over here because these guys are the best and have the best hands down!!

Really friendly staff that had answers to all my questions about their products. Love the Jilly Bean and Bruce Banner. I also like the tube joints with filters. Great when you don't have papers or glass.

Best prices and quality in town. Recently signed over my membership. Honey banana for the win!

Had a bad experience. Turned me down and would not let me shop because the guy at the front told me my med card wasn't good enough.. Asked why not, that my card is valid and printed out like they need.. He said it needed to be bigger and that it wasn't the same.. I then asked if he could help me print out one that would be good enough for him and he said he couldn't help me. Very very dissatisfied with what happened and how the company handled it and treated me. Very unprofessional!

make sure you have a hour of free time cause it will take at least 30 minutes to get what you want

Stopped in to get some information about dispensaries and learn more about the industry in general (because we're strangers to the whole flower, edibles, distillates and shatter world). We had the pleasure of chatting with Spencer, who was a cornucopia of cool information. We didn't do any shopping, but I imagine Spencer has some great products and will gladly steer you in the best direction, and it's always worth doing business with awesome people!!

The best selection of high end affordable concentrates with amazing help these guys are definitely  my go to dispensary

If I could give this place 0 starts believe me I would. Worst dispensary I have ever been too. I read good reviews online so I decided to give this a try. When I arrived the greeter was amazing but once I got in it was unpleasant to see how the workers treated the costumers. All the questions I was asking I got the "I don't know" answer or just read what the tag says. All employees were higher than me cause they were obviously struggling to function. The main person who had the key badge almost threw my change at me. He made me feel like if I was dirty when in reality I'm 100% sure I'm cleaner than him since I don't smell like BO  anyway if you want to get ripped off with the medical prices go here. If you want to be looked at like a dumb ass for asking questions go here. They obviously don't care for the costumers. Save your money go elsewhere really unpleasant experience. Just a bunch of rude mother fuckers.

I went to standing akimbo because their prices on their koala bars $40 for a thousand mg edible bar didn't sound too bad to me. Unfortunately after purchasing this bar I went home to medicate 8 hours later and 500mg later I had not felt anything. This is awkward considering it usually only takes about a hundred mg of other Edibles I have tried to feel effects. After inspecting the package the edible have came in I had realized there was a 1000mg sticker slept over a 100 mg labeling. Considering the staff were really rude when I have walked in recently everyone except the front Clerk I honestly feel like I was like I was

Consistent Quality on  flower product and shatter , Easy highway access,Great customer service.Have been coming here for years this is long over due review for the great service over the years.. no matter who the tender is.

Desiree and Colt are always so friendly whenever I go in! They're very helpful whenever I want to look at different products; the selection they have is amazing! I love this place.

It's Ari. He's the worst. Then you got Erik cubby holing pounds for himself. Budtenders stealing Veritas. Serving up dog shit to the needing patients  while catering to "ballers" who ironically know about product before the bud tenders themselves. Always holding better shit for people in the back office. It is what it is. New girl Sam, Dez, and Scott only reason it's tolerable to even shop in there. Oh yea and there's this lawsuit standings involved in. Good read. law.justia.com/cases/fed…Pretty limited options if you're trying to get someone to grow your plants for you with extended plant counts when they are selling out before real patients have access to quality medication. Profits over patients unfortunately

This dispensary has the absolute worst costumer service I have ever received from any Dispensary in 5 years. Been coming here for a few months but will not return. It's as if they think that because they have some cheap prices that they do not have to give good costumer service. They also have been known to have mold and bugs in their grow rooms. Parking lot only has 6 parking spots and they have no waiting room, they make you wait outside in the snow or rain...

Budtenders were rude af seemed more like I was bothering them when I went to get some bud! With their nasty attitude! Not one time but 3 times I've gone NEVER again lol . Also wait is always sooo long!

Best prices in Denver as well as the best menu and deals when signing over! Only thing is long Lines but that's not a bad thing! Just means people know where to go for the right things

Well I purchased a 1/4 which I was happy with and I sent in an email inquiry regarding their EPC policies and since I have a MED support badge I should know all the polices for MMJ sales when I've only ever worked in recreational? Unbelievable. I got an email back with names of alleged managers or floor leads to speak to but every time I called they were "unavailable". "Spencer or Daniel" I'm aware I'm dyslexic but I re-read the email and I didn't mistype anything so badly as to be assumed an imbecile? I haven't felt so spoken down to since I filled out the wrong bubble on an EOG test in grade school. When I did get through the desk person knew nothing. They sit in front of the computer and see the emails come in  Good news the IRS suit made all the higher up contact information public.

Best dispensary. Best prices. Best staff. Best products. 10/10. If you have a med card, visit this place!

You are probably thinking "could it really be that bad?" It's worse. Disorganized management, questionable ethics, super terrible service. The prices aren't low enough to justify how terrible of an experience this place is.

Hands down THE WORST DISPO IN DEMVER, they have super good quality and prices for EPC, but thats if they even still have it after it dropping a few (hours ) before i pull up to shop.... they are 100% picking and choosing to who is able to get dibs on everything before its even available on the shelfs... they are only worried about selling BULK To their freinds that have cultivation licenses and litterally selling every quality to them but the mids! BEEN TRYING TO BUY MY MEDICINE FOR 2 weeks now and no luck at all! Mind you not i call everysimgle day asking if anything came in. And no luck.this place is just so poorly managed and they dont give a hell about their clients that actually need their medicine but they rather sell bulk for it to just be re sold  else were... they just want your money and thats it!! Terrible service and very rude especially the manager ARI hes verry aggressively rude & has anger issues,, he once told me to "GET THE FUCK OUT" because i adressed that i got charged for the wrong product calmly and wanted to fix it before i left the building, and disrespected me for no reason but his fucked up ego!! Do yourself the favor and DO NOT WAIST YOUR TIME OR MONEY HERE!!Spencer if you're reading this you need to fire your best friend Ari I don't care how much Coke y'all do together, fire him and get your fucking business together this shit is a mess and it is only clowning yourselves I don't care how good of product or how good your prices are I will never come back this past month has been the absolute worst and all I do is keep getting bullshitted . You will go out of business doing this type of business, good business is the only business.. if you need help just let me know, not sure if he just don't know how to run a business or y'all are all strung out on drugs but dude like I said get your shit together or you're going to fall off! I never post reviews but you guys need this one very very disappointed

Came here at 1:23pm today and was told there was a three hour wait. I get a call back at 6:22pm being told, I wouldn't be able to be seen till tomorrow. Wtf is wrong with you people? How did a three hour wait turn into 24 hours? Honestly I think I'm done with this dispensary, time to find a new one.

Best dispensary in the city. Has basically everything you are looking for in THC and for probably the best price around. The wait can be long but that's based on the reasons above. A true MED only dispensary.

Had the most amazing experience at this store. First of all.. I was a first time shopper so they hooked me up with a discount. Second the most beautiful woman helped me out once I got inside.. ?? she was so knowledgeable on all of the products. Overall a truly positive experience I highly recommend! Her name was Sam in case that information matters.

These guys are great. Some of the best deals and highest quality products in Colorado. Their staff has always been outstanding with customer service and discussing the live product I purchase. Great recommendations for delicious smoke. This spot is worth waiting in their sometimes hour long lines. I've had only one order messed up by their staff over the year I've been shopping and the manager went above and beyond to fix the issue. I recommend Standing to all of my friends. Thank you guys ??

I’m a member here and I love it! They have the best quality with none of the markups, also really friendly staff. Definitely recommend checking it out! Best med dispensary around.

Wish I could give way more stars! The product is always on point, the deals wow me time and time again, and all of the staff always have such a great vibe behind them. Ive tried other shops but I just keep coming back here. Been going to this shop for almost a month and I have not one complaint. I could cry oceans and write novels about how much easier my life has been. I appreciate what y'all are doing for the legit medical patients, especially the ones on a budget.

I love this place. For 6 months I looked for the best place to be a member and during my first visit I had to sign up! Sam has helped me a couple of times and she is awesome and knowledgeable! Super affordable and good quality what more can you ask for!
