Reviews of CAC Venice
4.7 (66 reviews)

Best dispensary on the west side. Great selection, cool knowledgable staff, always a deal on good flower to be found, never a long wait. This is the only dispensary I'll use anymore. Great Venice vibes

This is my go to dispensary in Venice. The prices are great but more importantly, the budtenders are extremely knowledgeable. The experience is that much better when you're speaking with professionals

Ok so first of all, I am not someone who has ever purchased (legally), and I barely partake in cannabis and related activities, so this is my first experience in a store, and really trying to know and understand all that's available. I was a little nervous/intimidated, but it was a really smooth process and good experience. I think a guy named Mikey helped me and he was great. Patiently walked through options for CBD and how to take for pain, etc. Showed me different options for weed, explaining the differences in sativa/indica and making recommendations to support me in my needs. I settled on a few things to help w/ pain & anxiety and yes it felt weird buying, even though it's legal. I was unpleasantly surprised by the 25% tax on weed, but hey, what are you going to do. I picked a few things and will see how it goes. Should I need more of anything, I am sure this is where I'll continue to go.

The place was a nice shop. Nice security and bud tender. Was looking for a thrifty 8th, got one. Dime Bag Boss OG 25. Then I wanted a Gram of OG Kush for 10 bucks. I like OGs  and thought I couldn't go wrong with the good old OG Kush. Was I wrong... Eighth Brothers Brand OG Kush was a bag of stems and Larf. Yes trim. It was a bag of shitty trim. Smelled like leaf and was 10 months old when packaged a month ago.     I will be back at the shop if needed but will open my bag there.     I forgot. I always open my pizza box to check. I just thought I would get quality. %50 success %100 bummer on the Shitty Eight brothers. The Slogan on the bag is... Eight Brothers brings you the best quality cannabis products at fair prices.     Then why did I I get ripped off with a shitty bag of trim. That's why the black market thrives.   I was in a pinch to even go to a shop... I am a Cali resident and that was my second visit to a shop and first purchase. I didn't want to go to a shop but am visiting and just finished my pound I bought up North yesterday.       I will never buy any Eight Brothers  products and I don't think anyone should. It was that bad.  The shop sold it to me.... so can't give them that good of a rating. I was extremely disappointed when I opened that bag after my long walk there and back.

Probably one of my favorite dispensaries. I drive here from studio city about 1-2 times a month because they're the only dispensary to carry P2 which is all I like. Great customer service, knowledgeable on their product, and they even have rewards program for every time you shop there!

Wow! I'm sure this is a woman ran business, which is dope in itself, the best customer service, and great vibes as soon as I walked in, I was a first timer but it didn't feel like it! Will be returning!

It's worth the distance from the beach! At first glance, I thought it was far for me but It's so earthy and dank. When I walked in the first time I was greeted by the legit owner. It was dope and he's so rad. He was super friendly, open, and man.... we all know I like that major organic fire. As soon as I came in I got the overwhelming smell of some fresh DANK like I'm up north! This place is legit.

I went into this spot this afternoon for the second time. We are visiting from philly and I have to say not only do they have a great selection, they are so helpful! I had to ask the guy at the desk (Jim) for his name. Jim, you're amazing! Thanks for the great experience.Highly recommend

I feel so welcomed with the staff here which is why I love coming here! I can come over with zero knowledge about anything and leave feeling respected and being happy with what I paid for. It's such a pleasure doing business here without a gram of pressure :)

Best Weed Shop, Best Prices, Lowkey, Quick In and Out. I Absolutely Love This Shop. Where Else Can You Find Bomb $25 8ths?

I have been to quite a few venice dispensaries and have finally found a great one. I come from out of state and was happy to finally find an honest spot.

I've been a cannabis consumer for years & have been employed in this industry for a handful of years as well. Many of the stores I have been to in this area have this attitude that really turns me off as a customer, but here I feel welcomed and a member of the team. I love shopping here when I'm in Venice. They have the best prices for concentrates and a great selection of live resins!

Wow these guys are nice and knowledgeable. Doesn't feel like a hip store, which I like.  Doesn't feel commercialized or touristy.  Very friendly AND dog friendly!!Got just what I wanted, reasonable prices, couldn't be more pleased. They're right across from Whole Foods, 2nd floor..Very pleased.  Thank you.

Was visiting from out of town and decided to visit CAC. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, he was very knowledgeable and laid back. I never felt rushed.

At the border between Santa Monica and Venice lies this wonderfully little dispensary.  I travel plenty but wherever I am in Los Angeles I trek my way to these wonderful people.   They are friendly, clean, extremely knowledgeable, genuinely caring, secure and did I say friendly?  Prices are good, parking at the back and in front.  Ring the doorbell for access and bring your doctor's letter if coming for the first time.  Call them for more info.An overly trendy Whole Foods is across the street - which I avoid like the plague.  Which killed almost 60% of Europe..... The plague not Whole Foods....oops veered off again.I've been to other dispensaries and always left those places feeling like I left the bathroom after halfheartedly wiping.  Kinda dirty and hoping I don't sweat due to my "dirty" little secret.....I have insomnia and sleep is a precious commodity for me and these peeps have made me be a softer less intense person.  I suffered insomnia which led to anxiety and other stuff since I could remember.  Friends still regard me as overly energetic but now without the pain behind the smile.To the verge of being blubbering, thanks CAC.

Great place, great stuff, great people, and great price! Very friendly and helpful, quite welcoming to a first time visitor!

Quick service, clean store, and helpful staff.  A little difficult to locate as it's upstairs in an office building and there was little signage from the road. Once you get inside, you completely forget about the trouble you had finding your way because the staff is so friendly and full of guidance.

Love this shop.  Always good people. Always great product.  Prices have gone up over the last year with the majority of flower being only avail in an eighth versus a gram.  That said the avail flower in a gram is really good. So still get great stuff for a good price!

A bit hard to find as it's on the second floor of an two story building on Lincoln Blvd. near Rose Ave. But so worth it as this is a place adults will feel comfortable and not be treated like just a customer.  Free parking in the back (just make sure to look for the CAC reserved spots).  Very laid back, no pressure vibe from the knowledgeable staff with no upselling like you'll find at the nearby MedMen. Good selection of just about everything you'll need (edibles, oils, waxes, buds, etc.) and they accept medical patients as well as the general public. One of the oldest collectives in all of LA I'm told and everything is ORGANIC they said.

As a customer for years, GRO has been a dependable source of quality, attentive service and excellent cannabis products of unlimited variety. The renovations have been incredible and staff treat you like a local. With the rise of corporate cannabis stores, my preference is for local, smaller establishments that don't overcharge and don't oversaturate the market. GRO has been doing it the best for a long time, and I won't go anywhere else.

Loved my experience at CAC!I'm a new resident of California, so I was nervous about this entire process. The staff at CAC were very helpful, made me feel welcome and comfortable, and educated me on their products. I was very satisfied with the products. high quality and did the job.i will definitely be going back!

Over the course of the past 18 months, I have visited over 100 dispensaries from the San Fernando Valley to San Diego County. This is the best dispensary of them all, in my opinion.Three reasons why: 1) The emphasis here is on the word medical. The vast majority of product is labeled with THC and CBD content, including the flower. 2) They grow their own plants, so the same strains and approximate equivalent strengths and ratios are consistently available. That is a huge advantage for the patient that prefers flower and needs consistent dosing. 3) The staff really know their stuff. They are adults. Most other dispensaries skew toward the youth lifestyle cannabis user. A commitment to medicine is reflected in their knowledge, kindness and compassion.

First time patient, great staff, nice selection; a nice range from the classic strains to some of the newest. Free parking .

very disappointed, went to CAC last week on Tuesday, bought medication, was charged the price shown $25. Great!  went back few days later, same medication purchased from same guy Jim. Was handed my change & the medication & I left.  When I got home, my change was a couple dollars off.  Looking at the receipt, wow, again, Im charged more the second time?  I was charged tax the second visit.  Why isn't the pricing here consistent? I have no problem paying the price, just charge the same thing each time for each person.  When I called to ask why the difference in pricing, I was told "Oh, we gave you a break the first time"....sigh.....anyone else have the same issues with being charged different prices?

This place is refreshing compared to past experiences. Been here twice so far and both people that helped me were extremely knowledgable, honest & nice. The woman's name was Sarah and I didn't catch the guy's name. They were both extremely patient and answered all of my questions. The place was clean and had no seedy vibes at all..... which I didn't even think was possible. The second time I came here I had recently had surgery and my mom had to take me and I asked her if she wanted to wait in the waiting room. She declined because her knee was bothering her but regardless/ It's a place you could bring your mom too! The selection is good and their prices are fair. They don't seem to carry some of my favorite edible brands but next time I'm going to make a request. Nice vape selection that the staff actually knows about! Never had a problem with anything leaking, breaking, ext. I've never received a "free gift" of a joint or crappy pipe or something of that nature but they do give out free, normal, fun sized candy out in bowls on the counter. For me, I'd rather have a couple packs of hot tamales than a crappy joint! I've worked in the service industry for over 15 years and I hardly ever feel the need or urge to write a good review, but this place was exceptional. Parking lot in back, only downside is the traffic on Lincon.

This place is the best!! I've been to a bazillion dispensaries and these guys are the most personalized. Old school Venice, knowledgeable, friendly. This is the spot for locals. LOVE.

I've been going to this local dispensary since I moved to the neighborhood about a year ago and always have the best experience. Aside from having a variety of great products, the service is always exceptional. Everyone is so helpful and friendly. Their price points can't be beat either. Definitely my go-to spot.

This is the BEST shop in Venice. The budtenders are honest, knowledgeable, cool, and their prices are way better than other places in the area. They have all of my favorites like Smokies gummies, Kiva chocolates, Honey vapes, and a huge variety of weed and topicals at fabulous prices. Their bud is always fresh, there's a variety of strains at different price points. Even the lowest costing strains are very good quality! I seriously love this store and will be stopping by every time I'm in Venice.

The owner contacted me and now I know it's definitely a lie and not confusion or misinformation. He claimed that "New Age Care Center" cultivates and distributes under the name Pura Vida Tres, Inc. So, I simply lookup Pura Vida Tres, Inc through the Bureau of Cannabis Control and CalCannabis. They have no "New Age" dba. Their DBA is PureLife Alternative Wellness Center. It's a dispensary that grows their own cannabis. So, I called them up and found out that 1) they don't even sell Gorilla Glue and 2) they only sell the cannabis they grow through their own dispensary, not wholesale or to other sellers. Carl, if you're gonna lie to your customers, at least make it a lie that can't be fact checked.

Great place.  Matthew was the best!  It was like i got educated and got herb that made my head spin!  Recommend this place.

I just want to say that I think I found my new dispensary to go to whenever I'm in need of any meds staff here is very knowledgeable and friendly no one's pushy they treat you with respect it's just an all-around great experience in this place thank you Jimmy and staff you will be seeing me again from now on

Best service anyone could ask for. They're so compassionate and professional its crazy. Huge selection of great meds and plants from seed not clones!!! NICE!!!

This place is horable never waste your money where you are not treated as a valued customer.  Yesterday I purchased some Larry og was told by bud tender it was some of their best flowers.  When I went to go break it down in my grinder to my surprise I found lots of seeds in the flower now all smokers know that seeds is not something you want to see when buying the suppose to be top shelf in the shop.  So the next day I return to this place to voice my disappointment with my purchase only to be told by Sarah that it happens sometime WTF really no it doesn't maybe here it does she offered no solution to accommodate a customer who was not happy with his purchase.  Bottom line this shop is straight steeling money and could give two you know what about how the person spending his or her money feels.  Don't spend dam near 20 bucks a gram for seeds all in your flowers stay faaaaaaar away from this place they are out to make money not take care of patients.

This was my first collective to visit so I was nervous, but the sign in the front said  friendly to women so I thought I would try and see what that meant. It was very nice, they were friendly and taught me a lot about the medicine that I should take. I'm not sure if the prices were good but my boyfriend said they were. They have strains from Amsterdam but I don't know what that means so...  Oh, they knew my name up stairs, I thought that was cool so I'll go back.

Everyone was so helpful! I wish weed was legal in Chicago (where I live). The staff member was so friendly and informative. She helped me pick out 2 awesome strains which smelled delicious. One was the sativa strain Purple Haze and the other was a sativa dominant hybrid called Critical Jack. I also bought some delicious edibles- vegan chocolate covered fruit gummies, chocolate covered banana bits and white chocolate stars. Lastly, I purchased this very rad vape pen and a Pineapple Express cartridge. I'm very satisfied with all the products I bought. I didn't know how to work the vape pen so I came back the next day and they were very helpful in explaining how to use it! I hope to move to California soon so I can shop here regularly!

EXCELLENT ALTERNATIVE TO MEDMEN ON LINCOLN!!!I was a long time patient at VBC (more than ten years) just south of this dispensary. Unfortunately, they sold out to a corporate chain (MedMen) and their excellent genetics disappeared overnight, replaced by a weird, $tepford vibe. So I gave VAC a shot and have found my new home for affordable, TOP SHELF GENETICS. This is a group taking pride in their strains and it shows - I've enjoyed solid versions of gorilla glue, private reserve, Alaska blue ice and more...all excellent. Be clear, this is a very non-corporate, accessible business not trying to dazzle you by copying an Apple Store's design. It's "Venice" as opposed to "Si-lincoln Beach".It just depends on what type of vibe you're looking for. But this place is the real deal for cannabis connessieurs.

Professional, friendly service. Safe place, very friendly to women. It's a small place but with a good vibe. The knowledgable staff is nice, helpful and patient. The prices are good and the selection is very good. They have an extensive selection of edibles too. A very good all around dispensary I will continue to frequent.

This place is the Goldie Locks of co-ops.  Just right.  OK.  This is the only place I really go anymore.  It doesn't have EVERYTHING, but it also doesn't overwhelm you with so many choices that you feel indecisive.  Everything that is here is amazing.  They carry only products that have been lab tested.  They can give you the numbers on every strain and edible.  They carry some of the best edibles I've ever had.  Ever. The bud-tenders are so damn nice!  They have a sense of humor, and they will explain anything you need.  They know my favorite products and suggest new things if they are out of the item for which I was looking.  The prices are competitive.  They don't have a lot of promotions, but when you find consistently great service, why go anywhere else?  It's a hidden gem.  I am glad it isn't TOO popular because I can get in and out very quickly.

They changed the name and they changed their inside again. It looks great. Same great bud and some new stuff too. They have a big selection of wax vapes too.

This is local gem ! Friendly, helpful and with top notch quality standards. Jim is the man!

This place is super legit. First dispensary I ever went to, and couldn't be more happy with my experience over all. The shop is very relaxed, featuring a cozy display area for the products. Jim, the man who helped me with my purchase, was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. He was quick to answer all of my questions and really made me feel at ease with the whole process. The goods? Great! Private Reserve was on point, and it's nice to know the products are lab tested. Good vibes all around from this place. 100% will be back.

The most professional dispensary I've been to. Friendly people, solid meds, and they know their stuff. GREAT edibles!

Rad spot ! Friendly and knowledgeable staff ! Thanks Sarah for all your help ! Will definitely be returning !

Love the spray at CAC. They are always very kind and helpful. They assist with anything you may need. Great great spot.

I just have to update my review since I'm a regular customer there. I LOVE the staff. It's always the same people, I feel super safe and they are legit! When I walk in there I'm excited to see them and I feel the same in return. They also are ORGANIC and have paper work telling you exactly what strain works with what your looking for. This place is for QUALITY!!!! They prepackage everything which makes going in their a breeze. Gez I love these people, so happy I found an awesome dispensary close by. Enjoy!

CAC is fantastic.  My go to.  Extremely friendly, knowledgable and helpful staff.  Great selections and the fact that you can see lab tests and pictures of where your medicine is coming from is great.  Highly recommended.

If I could give ZERO stars I would, called this place ,the manager I presume answered asked if he had BLANK cbd caps ,he did I made sure because was driving a long way to get them ,he brought them out I was about to buy 4 packs ,I looked at the expiration date because had a bad experience once with going over an expiration date.  It says they expired 5 days before,he says I dont know if that bothers you ?  YES IDIOT,it BOTHERS BE paying 47.plus tax a pop for expired goods?  By the time I would finish the 4 packs it would be 30 days expired. Stay far from this place ,oh he also said he couldn't take a medical certificate it had to be the card !  Thats funny every other place I go they give a medical discount certificate or card. He also said ProTabs which contain polysorbate were EXACTLY like the BLANK caps which is a lie,the BLANK caps have coconut oil terpenes cbd and cannabis. Yeah EXACTLY LIKE THEM , STAY FAR FROM HERE THEY ARE INTO FALSE ADVERTISING

I had back pain and they gave me a free sample!!! Bless them! Thank you for your everything. I truly, truly appreciate it

My go to spot for excellent quality at the best prices in town. Everyone who works there is amazing and helpful. Always give honest opinions. Always recommend to my air bnb guests and never received a complaint. Highly recommend.

Don't trust the blond girl, she wanted to keep the change, she doesn't care about customers but her pocket

Cassandra and Michelle were awesome. I'm from out of town and they were not only nice but VERY informative of everything. I ask a lot of questions and they answered all of them. They were patient and courteous. When I come back to visit LA I will definitely stop by because they are there. And they gave me a cool sticker so I can help promote your store. Thanks again guys for being great customer service. Oh and the security guard too was so sweet. His name started with a G. I think George or Gregory. It was nice to be greeted with his warm smile.

Super helpful staff, both Dylan and Sarah made sure I got the edible gummies I love when they came in stock. And they're always willing to talk about the different strains and brands and make suggestions. I like that the price is all-inclusive, too!

Been using cac as my go to clinic. Warm, kind,knowledgeable staff keep me coming back for more edibles medicine and drinks. Cannabis has helped me through alot and having cac around makes it possible. Great deals and and loving people make them a 5 star all day. Give them a chance and they'll keep you returning for their exotic high potency cannabis strains.

Awesomeness!ALL of the bud tenders are super cool, and kind. Wide selection, and great prices. Highly recommend

Good prices and friendly service. Be of the best shops in the area IMO. Upstairs on the 2nd floor

Solid find while in town for a few nights. We were staying in downtown Santa Monica and I couldn't find an open dispensary on Yelp in the vicinity so I shipped it down the road to this spot in Venice. The only thing that was kinda nuts was the fully cocked security guard checking IDs.. that caught me off guard but I get it.. LA is super sketch it places not that we went there but. The pack of pre rolls, along with the friendly associate made this a great experience overall tho. Would definitely send it back here if I'm in town again.

Great selection of products and the staff go above and beyond to help you choose exactly what you’re looking for. Thank you girls. ?

I love coming to this dispensary. They always got what I need. Sarah is always super helpful, respectful and cool attitude. She always knows what I want. Thank you Sarah ??‍??

My favorite dispensary, bar none. I've been going to CAC since it was medicinal. Friendly, knowledgeable service. Great selection. You will not be disappointed.

The employees are very respectful & knowledgeable. Love how their prices include tax. Definitely recommend them when going to Venice Beach.

This is the best place in Los Angeles hands down. Do not go to med men or any other corporate weed shop in Venice. CAC has the best deals and also the friendliest staff.
