Place was amazing and the bud tender was very nice and helpful this place has great choices and friendly faces definitely recommend

Awesome customer service from Edgar (security) and Sal. Sal was super informative and helped us pick something great for our relaxing visit from Phoenix. Very clean, organized and they even accept debit. 10/10 would recommend!

Garbage! Expensive af for dirt. Wanna throw your money away for trash please go on ahead.  I paid 12 dollars for a stress joint. Never again!The front desk lady tells you before you go in that there is no refund and to check your bag. Why do you think she does that disclaimer? Because everyone wants to take that crap back.

I hadn't been to GG in almost a year and now I remember why! Some of their bud tenders are horrible and just shouldn't be working there. The woman didn't greet me and was quite frankly rude for no reason. I've been going to this collective on and off since 2012 and I always try to be kind to staff everywhere I go, especially now when so many are struggling. To have someone treat me like an annoyance is is unfathomable in these pandemic times. Here I was trying to support an older local collective and  the bud tender was a rude b*tch. Why I still tipped her is beyond me, I guess I'm just too nice. I only hope her day gets better and she stops spreading  her bad mojo. I'm going back to my other favorite collectives, Rose, Sweet Flower, and CAC Venice!! Bye Green Goddess.

Can't thank Rachel enough. My first time in the shop and I had a wonderful experience. Tons of great THC-infused products to choose from. Rachel specifically was kind, knowledgeable and really made sure I didn't feel pressured to rush through my selecting. Was able to use my medical card and save some cabbage. Will definitely be back!!!

Love you guys. Hope whoever tested positive for covid-19 is in good health and hope you are all okay. Much love from Larry, Nabis Distribution

This Shop is Cool i Was told they Carry Clone Goddess 5Carat Diamonds but When i Got there the Budtender Said they Didn't Have it.. but She Said they Would Be Getting More i Hope So because 5Carats Diamonds is a Super Rare Concentrate And A lot of People Want it. Green Goddess!!!

This 1 star is only for the rude girl that I encountered at the front desk taking I D's tonight Tuesday pm 11/17/20 I frequent Green Goddess at least 3 times a month they carry good unique products,and always had great Budtenders ,however tonight the rude girl sitting at the front greeted with no hello no nothing just you new or returning? As I was waiting ,she went behind the counter to ask what I needed. I told her 2 tea cans were saved for me and came to get them. She said  I CANT UNDERSTAND A WORD YOU SAID,rudely so I said just let her take care of it  (meaning  the  Budtender who finished with her customer and the one was so kind to save them for me)  Miss Rude then says,Excuse me?  I said just let her do it,I had had  enough of her attitude for one night. SO the good Budtender took over and even gave me a great tip about edibles on the weekend that are buy one the next one is a penny.  THANK YOU TO HER ( BLONDE HAIR I Think Aussie or UK accent) Miss Rude at the front when a customer comes in 3 times a month and spends good money in a pandemic ,treat them with respect,if you HATE the public get another job. Also the EXCUSE ME? was the most irritating thing. It was like EXCUSE ME I' M RUDE AND YOU DON'T WANT ME WAITING ON YOU ?

Visiting from AZ. Sal and Edgar were both extremely helpful and friendly. Sal was very knowledgeable and provided multiple recommendations and price point options when we told him what we were looking for. Highly suggest this cannabis shop!

First time in the store, Rude customer service. Girl kept dogging me. I would ask her a question and she would give me a 1 word answer, then cross her arms. Plus 3 dollar atm fee. This place is terrible. I recommend you go to the stop on the beach line. Good customer service and dabs.

Waste of time. No parking. Deceivingly small store. Security = over achievers. Narrow selection of products. No top-shelf goods. Cannot walk around on your own to see if they even have what you want -- must wait in line to be assisted by a budtender. May the force be with you if the only 2 budtenders have to educate 2 noob stoners about every product & strain in the store. Lamer than actually being cat-fished.

The staff here are amazing. Whether you are a new or veteran user, they are incredibly knowledgeable about all the products. The location is great and prices are competitive with other dispensaries. They do tend to run low on certain products on the weekends - but always offer great alternatives.

I walk in with my phone this girl that was working the last shift on the reception asked me to talk on my phone outside. Which is valid.I walked outside finished my call and went back in and said My bad.  She says I'm sorry gives me a high five. And I say you don't have to say you are sorry it's all good. I know you don't mean it anyway. She decide to get mad at me and not keep it as a professional. And called the manager a ignorant dude with attitude. I want to explain to them why it's not necessary to create all this. I'm here for business and you guys are not keeping it professional. Because a customer is king as long as he acts like one.I can tell you my opinion but you just have to listen and not argue with me. The weed is not very good anyways. So I went to Medman and they hooked it up. Ask for local discount at Medman.

This dispendsary is joke. Ive never been so offended for the cannabis community. Selection, prices, budtenders, unbelievable. When most of us joined this industry we wanted to help people get the best medecine and service possible. I would never recommended such a shallow, greedy business to ANYONE. The "taxes" charged are completely unheard of. Good dispensaries raised their prices a tiny bit to include the tax when it became necessary. I guess nobody clued in Green Goddess.. their unfortunate customers not only pay massively inflated prices on all products.. BUT THEN they get stuck paying 35% tax at the end. Yes, 35%. The budtenders were not knowledgable, extremely snarky and completely useless. The selection was less then mediocre. Im not surprised they had to post signs all over letting customers know there are "no refunds or returns". If i could rate less than 1 star, I would.

"She stays" Second attempt at reviewing for zineExcept for the wood entrance name and exceptionally graceful beautiful brown woman at the entrance  all Blah! 2xblah!Between this an that;Long wait, bad parking and Comic stereotype who cares less No compassion all buck here terminator security dude at the door - all bumblah Impress me --- Hire a women security goddess !!!

This place is great they have everything your looking for and I absolutely love the pricing and location. Great selection budbud Pacific Stone, tasty strong strains, and a very knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly staff. If your in Venice Beach stop by and check them out excellent collective in the neighborhood. Green Goddess has the goods!

A well-stocked, petite and friendly shop near the famous "Venice" sign. I experienced a 15 minute wait on a Saturday evening, but they have a simple/safe lobby area. Know before you go:- Cash only, but they have an ATM- No photos - Bring your Driver's License- Ask for their daily 15% off special - Ask to see low, medium and high grade They didn't have some brands that I like, however, my tender offered knowledgeable recommendations.

My fav dispensary in the area! Their selection is good and they have a range of prices to choose from (they're definitely not charging $80 for an hour 1/8 like medmen). I usually go here twice a week for loose flower and preroll. Jessica & another guy (I forgot his name )are the best and I usually trust them to recommend something for me. They also have daily sales I would recommend checking out!

We stopped by as soon as we got here for our week in the LA area (visiting from Orlando) and ended up coming back because it was so good! The staff was friendly, especially Khadejah who helped us both times. Also the store is pretty chill and of course the products were great (we got gummies and a disposable live resin pen). Highly recommend!

MEH... so many other great dispensaries. I dont normally write reviews, but... I was suggested this place by a friend. So, instead of going to the other one I had in mind, I went out of my way to check this place out. I frequent dispensaries often because I create edibles and cannabis infused meals, so def not my first experience at one. But def one of the lamest experiences I've had. The check in person wasn't that personable, told him it was my first time there, provided my phone number and said I don't have an email. I then asked if they gave discounts for first time customers, he said yeah we need both your number and email for the rewards. I said well I only have a work email that I cant provide. He said welp you cant get a discount... WOW, ok well I never run into that problem with any other dispensary I go to, usually a phone number or email is all they ask for not both. Well I was originally going to purchase a lot more, but nope. Then I got to the budtender, she didn't seem like she wanted to be working she helped with my questions, but I could tell she seemed more annoyed and wanted me to hurry up. I just got a pre roll for my roommate and left. I didn't even want to get that. I hate MedMen, but would have rather gone there, at least you know you can expect solid customer service. Never have I ever experienced that type of greeting and service from a dispensary. Seems like they think everyone is a tourist and knows they'll get business regardless of the rude service. Sorry no thanks!! Ill take my money else way, nothing special about this place just another dispensary (not even a cool interior) and their moto of Generosity, Guidance, Gratitude is laughable

One of the best dispos I've been too, the bud tenders were amazing super friendly and helpful, great variety of brands 11/10.

They had a smooth check in process, great selection, and very knowledgeable and friendly budtenders. Becky C helped me and had answers to all my questions. My new go-to in Venice for sure!

Best experience and products I've gotten since being in usa. I love the front desk girl so nice not to mention hot

Came here for the second time. First time, I knew what I wanted, there was no line. In n out quick.Today here for the second time. Staff very helpful in helping find what would meet our needs. Gave us our 2nd visit discount and applied accumulated points. Glad it comes up on the computer as I sure would have forgotten to get that credited.

3 words: bring your wallet!.. they stayed other testimonial that since 2005 they've been charging people exorbitant prices for medicine.... if you're nearby you don't want to walk to another dispensary I guess it's your only option... prices are ridiculous... all this talk about Venice local OG shit and yet they'll charge you eighty bucks for an eighth of weed.... shame... shame... shame... shame... shame...shame shame... shame... shame... shame

I had such a good experience shopping here Khadijah was very knowledgeable of all the inventory and answered very many questions.Can't

Stopped by here to get some gifts, on the expensive side but that's the industry. Nice clean place, would come back.

update Mar 20: Wow, went to MedMen... the diff was like leaving an intimidating store in some scary city and arriving at the Apple store crossed with boutique hotel friendly staff!!!________________Over Priced.Rude staff exist at this place. Smile, you're selling weed :-/Their ID policy is unnecessarily stricter than the State mandates, and they still do the whole copy ID, NO CELLPHONES... feel like you're buying crack inside of Alcatraz scare attitude. CHANGE.. it's recreational and fun now, not militarized and frowned upon.They were not at all helpful, besides ... "yes that's top shelf. No I just have Indica or Indica" ... no smile. TERRIBLE!Go sell coal for the Trump base instead.

The staff here rock!Many of the same people for many years.  This says a lot about the management. SmartAlways helpful and positiveI like their selection and like that they have a loyalty program and take cards most of the time I go here exclusively

Hey Hey! Shoutout to Ms Lovie! Very welcoming as a receptionist. She's always on top of things and makes my experience that much better once I walk through the doors. If you haven't visited and your at Venice beach. Stop by!!

Went to Venice beach recently and thought about trying out a new dispensary with my friend. I'm from the Los Angeles area. Big mistake!!! I waited in the waiting room for about 25mins then when I walked upstairs I waited for another 10mins and when we finally checked out their buds they were terrible!!! And super expensive! Also to top it off the lady who helped us was veryyy slow and looked as if she was too high to function properly. The lady kept talking to her coworker, Once we told the lady nicely we had somewhere to be and if she can kindly hurry up she said, "oh we're busy" and continued to talk to her friend. My friend and I were livid at this point. My best advice to you is if your looking for quality bud and somewhere that's not to expensive, stick in the Los Angeles area! This collective was TERRIBLE. I was so disappointed.

This place is efficient. They're very friendly and very patient in answering any questions you may have with their products. Good pricing as well, check them out!

Really great service. Real police office guarding the front of the business. (Impressive lol) The weed tender did NOT try to give me less than a gram for the full gram price... so that was a great first impression. Plus they give GIFTS to new customers. That's new & I appreciated that.

IF YOU want to get harassed by a rent-a-cop, come to green goddess collective ! At this dispensary, the door is guarded by a large redheaded security officer who has no regard for your well being. If he could taze you upon arrival, I'm sure he wouldn't hesitate to do so. After not coming to this dispensary for a few weeks, I decided to stop in and pick up an ounce. Even though they are overpriced, I wanted to go back to the first dispensary I'd ever been to. My friend dropped me off and went to go park. TO MY F*CKING SURPRISE this little b*tch cop comes and pulls me out of line and escorts me outside because my friend "was refusing to remove her car". After waiting in the long ass line only to be pulled out, I saw my friend with an upset expression on her face. That F*cking RENT A COP had harassed her outside and told her she had to leave because she didn't know anyone inside the dispensary, meanwhile he literally saw me get out of the same fucking car. We left. We called and complained about the way we were treated. When we called, a general manager picked up and was incredibly nice to us. We both received 25% off our next order.God, I wish this fucking harassment was over, but ALAS, this mother f*cker had to go at me once more. I decided to go back to the dispensary to use my credit so I never have to return to Green Goddess again. we saw him when we arrived, but tried to disregard the sour smell of evil that was seeping from his pores. The power was out, so their ATM was not working and I had to go get cash across the street and some from my car as well. I went to the ATM, and then proceeded to go to my car where my friend was sitting to go get my wallet, which had my cash. The rent a cop, who is seemingly ALWAYS THERE is staring me down, but since I'm not doing anything wrong, i continue to get my cash. As I'm returning to go in to the dispensary to pay for my weed i had already picked out and had packaged, the little b*tch decided to tell me I can't go in because there was " a clear exchange of money". Like dude, I wish my friends would pay for my weed. THAT WOULD BE SICK. but no. It was my money. SO im fucking pissed and i refuse to leave. He frantically called for backup on his walkie but no one was answering, probably because he literally sucks. finally, he gets someones attention using his "big strong man" voice. Eventually after his superior told him he was WRONG AGAIN, i was allowed to buy my weed. My friends and I will NOT be returning. IS THIS REALLY HOW YOU WANT TO RUN YOUR FACILITY? FIRE THAT F*CKING COP BEFORE YOU LOSE ANY MORE CUSTOMERS.

Becky C helped me find my new favorite. I appreciate the insights and time you took. I went in with a vague description of what I was looking for and came out with a new favorite. Thanks!

Why having a MENU of you don't care about it - If you wanna waste time inline SUPER staffs!!!!

I came here once to buy a vape pen and a cartridge and ended up wasting 80 bucks because of course, the pen itself wasn't working. I remember going back to them that night and they told me that it just needed to be charged. I went back home, the pen could barely hold charge (if at all) and eventually, even if the pen was charged over night, it would just stop pulling and then the light would blink on and off. Bummer

Over priced tourist trap. Shopped there for a while and soon realized that there are better spots. I haven't been since they remodeled or expanded it and probably won't still. Service was hit or miss. Maybe it's gotten better now in the past year or so... It's your call and your money

I had to write something about this place. I have been to a lot of shops in the Los Angeles and California area over the many years and I have never been to a shop more knowledgeable, welcoming, with the most amazing selection of products. This place has been and continues to be the best in my opinion anywhere.

Too expensive. Probably because of the location. Staff was not very helpful and definitely didn't make me feel comfortable. No small talk just buy and get out type of attitude.

Automatically had to compliment Amy for her customer service, LOVE HER ENERGY and passion! walked right up stairs to Sam & the vibe was the same. Awesome club , great customer service. Im from out of town & had a great experience

DON'T GO HERE! I bought a number of PAX cartridges from here, and 3 of them tasted horrible. I had 3 of my friends try and they all agreed it was very bad. I called and they said bring them in to return or exchange. When I arrived, the host said no problem for exchange. When I arrived upstairs, they declined and said I couldn't exchange. They said they tried the cartridges in the back, and it tasted fine and said I was wrong and wouldn't do anything for me. I have since went to another dispensary to find cheaper prices and much less tax. Go to MadMen or Marina Dispensary. DON'T GO HERE!

I love this dispensary! It's the only place I can trust to get medicine I need. I usually go for Indica dominant strains, and the girls always know exactly what to recommend when I need it. I can always count on the strains being the same every time I go there. They have new strains all the time, but I like to be able to count on the ones that I enjoyed in the past.The people that work there are top notch, friendly, knowledgeable, and respectful. The security guards always greet me with a smile and a hello, and have even gone out of their way to put money in my meter so I didn't get a parking ticket. Great selection, wonderful people, and a calming atmosphere. I will be going back and would recommend others to go there.

I was just SO embarrassed and humiliated by a woman working behind the counter that I'm afraid I cannot give a good review nor do I want to return. As a local professional living on the canals of Venice just right around the corner from Green Goddess Collective I'm sorry to say the customer service I received was just horrendous and extremely unsettling that I feel it necessary to share with my community. I came to the Collective by myself on Thursday afternoon, this being my first time to this shop. The woman helping me behind the counter started right off the bat with an attitude as if she didn't have time to answer questions. And when she did answer, she spoke softly enough and far back from the counter that I had a hard time hearing her and politely asked her to say that again. The line behind me was full with patrons awaiting their turn, and in front of everyone the woman told me to "clean my ears"! My face turned so red of sheer embarrassment and my eyes welled up. And instead of making an intellectual decision I just bought what was in front of me to the tune of $300, ran my card and shuffled myself passed the huge line of people who just witnessed my humiliation and the treatment I had just received from the clerk, who's name she told me smugly was "Doloris". When I got downstairs, refaced, I did ask to speak with the manager who was very kind, however in the moment of still being perturbed I wasn't able to tell her all the details, and what the clerk said to me, and how much I had just paid for that kind of service, all I was able to say in that moment was that clerk made me very uncomfortable and that her rudeness was super unnecessary. I really hope the manager - who shook my hand and looked me in the eyes kindly - will pass off her good customer service etiquette onto Doloris, so that it doesn't happen again to anyone else coming into her store. And for Doloris, you should be ashamed of yourself working in an industry, and a location for that matter, where RUDE is not acceptable nor necessary!

Go here for your only/last option and to be treated like shit by second rate staff. These are not goddesses but thugs what a piece of shit dispenser. Can't wait to see them go down, which they so, so, will. Sweet dreams! Just wait for this place to shut down and something else nicer to open up, maybe a coffee shop without bulletproof vests.

Second time visit g this place. The parking can beA little tricky but if you're lucky and arriving after 6pm you can park in front of the shop and forFree. I have an out of state i.d and they acceptIt there (with a letter of recommendation), very clean, friendly staff. They don't really have much $10 gram deals, but they do have better expensive items. As a first time patient they had a variety of gifts to chose from. Security is always out front and inside the building, definite recommend this dispensary if you're near Venice beach.

Nice place, nice strains of buds and excellent hash. They treat me very good. I recomend it

There is a reason this is one if the best shops in Los Angelos! Located close to the beach, it isn't huge, but they have all the best brands, and the "Goddesses" are all smarter than they are beautiful, which says a lot!! I only needed a preroll this time, but they guided me towards a great product, with confidence, and a calming demeanor! Can't wait to come back again!!

I'm a long time Cannabis smoker and I have bought marijuana everywhere around town... this was by far the worst cannabis store I've ever been to.... the worst was probably how condescending the bud tenders were... I guess when you're in Venice there's no need to be nice since you're going to have customers no matter, what but they could try a little harder... There wasn't much choice once you were inside and the parking situation is dreadful... avoid at all costs... There are a few choices in Venice anyways...

These ladies were very nice and patient!I came in on Halloween and the place was very busy. I filled out my new patient paperwork and was upstairs soon enough choosing my meds.While they do not offer the variety I am used to at my regular places in the North Bay, everything they did offer was high quality. I tried some pre rolls, flower, oil cartridges, and edibles.The 4.20 chocolate bar is very potent for pain relief, the AYA cartridges had very clear effects and flavor, the pre rolls were enormous and extremely flavorful.They even gave me a free gram for being in costume!I'm sure this place get crazy busy due to its location, so I appreciated the quick and friendly help!

Do not go here! The lady at the front desk reception area was a total b#tch!  Not sure how she thinks being rude and snotty to customers helps business. The owners need to look at their receptionist and replace her fast! First and last impressions are huge and trust me, I won't forget her and I will make sure others know to not go there. Word of mouth goes a long way!  The gal upstairs was awesome, but that's all I have to say that is nice. Will never return!

This place kicks ass! The whole staff is warm and friendly. The place is super clean. They have wide variety of strains for whatever type of smoker you. Lots of edibles to choose from. I like the cheeba chews and the subtle teas. Try the grand daddy purple. One hit and I was glued to the couch. This place is definitely somewhere I would recommend. Great staff and dank weed, what more could you ask for?

This place sucks. Total rookie hour and they put you in a slow line to wait to be waited so you can't just browse their products.  No parking and they are cash only. Good news is their ATM barely works and needs to reboot half the time to even get money. They might want to fix that since the money that comes out of it is their life blood. Employees seem miserable due to the ghetto environment. Won't be coming back and left when the ATM rebooted on the 3rd try. Don't waste your time because they don't care, and either should you.

It was a little pricey but straight to the point with a great assortment of options. The edibles were in a larger than I've seen at other establishment variety and overall I got what I needed. Security is official must have an ID

One of my  best spots to service the HvacUnits. All the employees , security's and managers are so professional with there customers making sure they reach there expectations. During installing 3 A/C units I experienced nothing but good things about this spot. Tourist from all over the world was walking out from the shop all day with a big smile :)This is definitely the place for your prescription!Dr Dio Air

I will never go back after being a customer for almost a year. I never liked the unfriendly attitude that coats this entire experience but when i bought 2 cartridges for $130 and one was mechanically broken but would not be exchanged I drew the line. They even took the time to test it and agree it did not work properly. Thats not how I do business no matter if 2 weeks have passed or not. I unfortunately had opened the working one first and by the time i needed the other it had been "too long, no exceptions". But its BROKEN. a complete waste of $65 as i looked at them right under he counter they would not exchange it. i didn't want my money back... so i go to Rose Ave now and is AMAZING. I dont miss the employees acting like they know sooo much more than everyone and they stabd bu their products. This is California. Most of us have grown more weed than you have ever seen ladies! be nice!

Wow this place has gone to shit. They sell products that are being discontinued, so they can get it off their shelf but in reality it can't be used. Also they debit machine seldom works. They charged my card 3x and because they couldn't print it out they wouldn't give me what I was charged 3x for. How are they always out of everything? There are 4 dispensaries in walking distance of them do not waste your time

My favorite collective so far, they had a good selection of 'stuff"', and the sales people were friendly and helpful.  The place had a nice vibe, unlike many of the collectives, that feel like you're entering a strip club.  I wanted tinctures and edibles, and they had a really good selection of different kinds and strains.  Big smile on the faces of everyone who worked there.  Overall, an excellent experience.  I'll be back.  They don't seem to have parking, although there was a public 25 cents for 15 minutes lot right around the corner.  They were also out of clones when I went.  But omg, such a great place!

it was great tasting but this last  jug of greenjuice turned on us 3 weeks before expiration date...

I've been here twice and the service is friendly and helpful, too!  I've always been a drinker and rarely can hold my own when it comes to smoking them blunts.  Anyway, I saw a billboard across the street from the Yum Yum Donuts by my house and saw this advertisement for Dosist branded disposable weed pens.  I decided to go and purchase one because I am about to lose my mind because I almost hate my job and I was at the point where I was going bat shit crazy at the smallest of annoyances.  Anyway.  I purchased "calm" by dosist for $40 and it got me 50 hits.  It's been a blessing.  I've only lost my shit once because I ran out after hitting that pipe / pen and it's so calming and amazing.  The nice lady suggested these delicious honey mustard pretzel edibles that are $22 and they've been amazing!  They taste great - mix of sweet and savory and they work!  It's like 3 am as I'm writing this and I have to drink my bottle of vodka because I had the worst day at work today. I worked until 2 am and I have to be back to work at 11 am but thankfully, they open at 10 am so I can go to work without losing my mind "up in here, up in here."  Amen and thank you Green Goddess!  Namaste and all that peaceful blah blah blah hahahahaha.

The staff is very attentive and knowledgeable regarding all your medicinal needs. They also have an order online option that is epic. The lines can get long during peek hours so I suggest going in the morning. Also, that have an express line that makes it smooth in smooth out. Just don't forget your recommendation or the Terminator will deny your entry. Lol.

It was my first time ever.  Everyone was super nice.  Teya (I think-her name was Greek) was so patient with me.  I didn't know what I was doing or what to get.  She knew her product and was very knowledgeable.  Any questions I had she answered and gave advice based off of her personal experience.  Definitely would recommend going here.

I bought a wide variety of edibles here and they are terrible. My neighbor did as well.  She ate all of hers and the only effect we experienced was a bad headache.  We have since gone to another collective and have had a totally different experience. I will never frequent this place again.

I was a new patient trying to check them out with my friend, we were neglected for a whole 45 minutes before they processed us.The woman handling the paperwork seemed overwhelmed but hey at least a smile and apology for the wait .Finally being able to go up after what was literally an hour .there wasn't the best selection , N those cookies..no wonder there free. ..the 'budtender' helping me was way to slow to be working a counter , sorry but after that wait It was just sealing the deal on never going back . Way overpriced, no deals .they only do happy hour, okay edibles though and the place is clean. So whatever last resort type of joint if your in the area .

Never will I return to this poor excuse for a dispensary. The people who work here, wow! What a bunch of nasty nasty ladies you have there! For they are rude and seem uneducated for the position of a budtender. I compare this place to Green Dot (MAD PROPS TO GREEN DOT MDR!!! ALL THE EMPLOYEES ARE DOWN RIGHT LEGIT NO NASTY LADIES) in Marina and well Green Goddess falls short every time. When I go to Green Goddess, I am harassed -YES HARASSED- upon check-in for my rec EVERY TIME. Harassed is a strong word and I use to describe the unpleasant females that get paid to be there and come at you upon entering this weird house-like establishment. The ladies there are sharp with their words but don't seem to have a clue on what's really going on. I've had to re-prove that I'm a rec user EVERY SINGLE TIME I come here. I suppose that the copy of my rec that they took and have on file is for? Well I'm not sure, and it's apparent Green Goddess doesn't know either. Same goes for the copy of my ID they took. Every time I have to give my ID for them to take ANOTHER COPY? What are y'all doing with these copies now? (Thankful that weed is finally legal in CA but that is besides my point now, it's evident their processing of client files is broken or the ladies just simply aren't capable of what is required for the job). The last time I came in was a few weeks before my rec expired and the female upon check-in couldn't read an expiration date correctly, she then proceeded to give me an 'okay you can leave now, there's nothing else I can help with' approach in a very rude and dismissive manner when she was in the wrong. My rec was valid and clearly stated in black and white. I then had to explain to her, please take a moment and read what my rec says and then we can talk based on the facts of the matter once you're correctly informed. Apparently knowing how to read and knowing how to apply yourself is not valued here. Let's now mention they have a poor and limited strain collection. Green Goddess seems to be 'out' of the most common strains on any given day. Strains like Blue Dream, Sour Diesel, Blackberry Kush are common and popular (always found at Green DOT!!!) are never around or always out. Every week? I mean really? Where's your supply at? The other strain options aren't worthy of your time or money. Some of their strains appear to be low quality, visually, and smell old and rotten. On top of that the budtender is not helpful, unknowledgeable, and well just down right pissy. The budtenders provide an energy of 'get your weed and get out of my face, next'! So let's mention more of the atmosphere of this place, where you're up in an attic of some sort that's extremely hot and stuffy. There's no A/C, not even a single fan. It's nasty, hot, and uncomfortable. Especially with the type of people who come in. People who only seem to be the homely locals of Venice Beach. Dirty, nasty and gross is all I can comment on.

Never. Again. PEACE NASTIES!

I enjoyed my trip but not the product.....I think the people that work in this establishment were 4 stars but they had very little product and it was organized very poorly. Marijuana should not be alphabetized it should be organized according to strength, i don't like being ripped off I feel like this is a poor sales tactic to trick people into buying products they don't know about because they aren't good quality. I bought there supposed top of the line bud but I truly have no clue cause what I was sold was super low qual (very dismal crystals, light air and leafy). For 25 bucks a gram this is for sure not worth it. They gave a gift card with 15% off my next purchase which is pretty worthless considering that doesn't even cover the product tax which just felt like another slap in the face to the already poor experience. I really hope in the future they change their poor shop layout and their attempts to get repeat customers in the future. I will revisit this shop maybe 1 more time but until then step your game up. I really wish I had a better first experience.

Too expensive. Over rated security. I've been to much bigger dispensaries and have been treated with respect. Not going to recommend.

Love this place - friendly staff, professional environment. They are quite popular, but worth the wait. Great selection.

Long wait times and somewhat high prices.. The employees were all very sweet! I guess all I'm saying is, if you can go somewhere not so close to Venice beach, I would opt for somewhere else for better prices and less wait time. If not, then by all means go here! It still has a great selection and product! Just bring a snack!

Absolutely disgusted with this place,the owners, prices,shadiness,and the silly rude thugs they hire as security. They all treated me like a crack addict,even hinted towards me possibly selling my medicine illegally. Wow, imagine being sick, having to travel, waiting for hours in line,paying for your own medication with no financial aid, then having to deal with a mentality like this, astonishing. Not to mention I've just dropped three months rent in a week there. And no "Green Godess", not a drug dealer. What I am dealing with is my best friend and next door neighbor having his head blown off by his own father. They don't care for people and healing anymore,they are more interested sadly in the other  "diablos green" now. Please, I beg of you, support real pharmacies/farmers with a conscience that care for its patients as individuals and not simply as numbers on a ticket!!! and give them fair treatment,please. If we don't we will never get the care we as a people truly deserve. These places thrive because of us, so let's remind them of this ....Jah bless:)

The Green Goddess has a very convenient location, just two blocks from the Venice Boardwalk where Windward meets the Main Street traffic circle.  It seems to me that too many collectives go out of their way to intimidate their patients with scowling security guards and airport-level security procedures.  There is a security guard here (no problem with that!) but he is quite friendly, and seems to be particularly protective of  women.  The budtenders are perky and knowledgeable, and the products are available at standard Westside prices.  They have a nice selection of flowers and edibles, none of which I have had any complaints about.  While there is nothing particularly exceptional about the Goddess, there's nothing wrong with it, either.  If you have visited as many collectives in LA as I have, that is a very "high" compliment indeed!

Nice atmosphere and pleasant people. I prefer pre=loaded oil cartridges, which is not a strong point for them today. They do have a nice selection of oils and cartridges one can buy separately and they even offered to fill the cartridges for me! I will be coming back.

My first trip to a dispensary was to Green Goddess and it was wonderful! The girl at the front desk was kind and helpful. One of the girls behind the counter helped me a lot. I had a lot of questions and she patiently answered all of them. I will highly recommend this place to everyone.

Seriously I just waited over 40 minutes for my friend to come out. This is so ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I travel over 20 miles to go to Green Goddess not only because they always have great strains and prices, but more so because they have amazing bud tenders who are always helpful.  I also think that the security guy named Lester is super nice and makes you feel comfortable when walking in while making sure he is doing his job.  The only complaint I have is sometimes it feels as if they play favorites with the absolute regulars when coming in and waiting to go upstairs.  I am pretty new to the area and have only been there about 5 times, but otherwise I have no complaints.  I appreciate that there is a establishment where I can not only get the medical marijuana I need, I can also get a nice variety of strains and ways to ingest it along with a very friendly and happy staff.

I spent like $100 last time I came here and this security guy told me my name is not even on the system I was annoyed because I had to fill the application again and I didn't have California ID but i had the dmv paper and he was telling me I can't bring that next time I need an id... I bought some oil vape thing and I didn't know how to change the oil or clean it and I told this girl to help me because I didn't l know how she said I had to clean it first and then she could help... I didn't know how to clean it tbh, another girl helped so i gave her $20 tip because she was nicer and more helpful...

My first time in a store and such a great and friendly staff. Seriously - gave me the whole 101 shpeel and everything. Lillia is the best

Nice place. Tough but fair security.  Super hot budtenders, like wow excuse me I'm closer to heaven now. Very knowledgeable.  Huge selection including huge selection of edibles, sprays and the like. Great products. Why are the women that work here so hot? I keep thinking they are digging me because they are smiling ...but they are patients too. Why is the security so huge? Better to make sure you have ID, your Dr paper, and cash, rather than find out how huge they are. Nice people here.

Today when entering the establishment I was encountered by a rude and very unprofessional woman. When I asked her what I could get with 20$ she ignored me. She made me feel as if I was bothering her. Now, this is the first time this has happened. And if you're spending money in a establishment, you should be treated with a little more bedside manner. Ignoring people and continuing to type on your computer is rather bitchy. I travel far to Green Goddess and I didn't appreciate being treated as if I didn't belong. You'd think she'd be a bit nicer being that she works at a dispensary.

Really great and quality dispensary. Treat both their new and old customers  with respect, appreciativeness of loyalty and generous. And they always try best to get you in and out quickly and the girls are very knowledgable and helpful as well.

I have been to this dispensary several times. The staff is always very nice. They have a good selection of product.  I will agree the prices are steep than other dispensaries I have gone to.  However, with the taxes being imposed on a lot of these dispensaries it drives the prices up.  Additionally, many of those other dispensaries are closed now.My recommendation would be to go in and see for yourself.  I do not think you will be disappointed.

The sales girl was nice and informative but she overcharged for Faria $15 both me and my friend.  I think they're out to make an extra buck there.  First she said $30 per bottle and then after she saw our excitement about the product, she, and that after looking at a website, said it's actually $45, that she made a mistake.  We bought it anyway, but I looked on their website the next day and it said $30 per bottle.  I did not get a receipt, either.  Everything is cash, so there is no paper trail or anything.  I will not be coming back.

The service is warm amd compassionate and the ladies are beautiful.  The selection is on point and the employee's know their THC very well and will pick out the best selections.

I seriously travel 20 miles to come to Green Goddess. Not only is the staff so incredible, friendly and knowledgable but also their selection is unparalleled. I haven't seen a dispensary like this EVER in Los Angeles! Not only is the location awesome but the experience every time I go to this place is beyond amazing!!!

The bud is outstanding. Great selection. And the female budtenders are Fine as hell! Try Green Goddess out!

Super friendly and helpful. I told Asia exactly what I was looking for and she matched me up perfectly! Thank you, Green Goddess.

I've been frequenting the Green Goddess for about 5 years. Although the prices are little steep they usually have a nice selection. However, when I went in last week, I was disgusted at what I saw. Garbage outdoor for 50 per 1/8th, and the ONLY quality bud they had was 90 per 1/8th! On top of that, they were selling FAKE "thai stick" that was leaf glued to a stick - shame on you Tammer! What once was a decent club, is now an absolute joke. Do yourself a favor and go ANYWHERE else.

Absolutely love this place! All the of staff (especially Asia and Vanessa!) are super friendly and knowledgeable, they have a wide variety of quality products to choose from and they take care of their regulars. I come here all the time and definitely would recommend it :)

Great staff - knowledgeable, amazingly helpful and KIND. Nice variety of medicinal products. Wonderful collective. Parking not so great but whatever, right?

I've been going to the Green Goddess for 3 years and they have always been great!  They just moved into a new location which is pretty & roomier.  The ladies are always nice & helpful.  Green Goddess is professional & accommodating, with a wide variety of the best medicines around, also they have always been legitimate, and they are one of the hundred or so that are still truly legal with the city.  Thanks, Green Goddess!

Never had a bad experience. Always great tenders who make me feel so comfortable with my choice of medicine.  Never do I worry about coming to this collective due to the great security and the rules they strictly in force. All around the energy at this collective is just unreal .. Constant positivity and good vibes.  It's a must go.

I love this collective. In the heart of Venice, selection is great and the ladies behind tending are all friendly and beautiful.

The ladies downstairs were very vice and welcoming, past that I really can't say much about this place. First time at a dispensary and my doctor had said they would help me find a blend that was right for me. Ha! I went to the counter and told the woman behind the counter (short haired brunette, didn't catch her name) that it was my first time and didn't really know what I was looking for and if she had any suggestions for something mild. She rolled her eyes and asked with all the attitude in the world, "Have you even looked at the menu?" I told her I had but that honestly, I was unfamiliar with the dosages and a lot of the terms. She handed me a menu, and walked away, leaving me at the counter to sit and glare at me until I randomly selected a few items. Basically what followed was tons more attitude and snippy remarks. I understand she probably deals with a lot of crazies but really, she couldn't stifle that for a minutes to help out a paying customer with some questions? Questions you would ask any pharmacist dispensing a medication? Will never go back here again. Would recommend you find a more accommodating establishment.

I loved this place!!! They are Experts in their field for sure. Very knowledgeable staff and I was very pleased that they took their time and explained the products to me. I wish they had this company in Florida. I will DEFIANTLY vist this place the next time I'm in Cali!!!

KHADEEJA, LOVIE, SALU, BARBRA - the whole green goddess team- I love you guys! Simply the best- I visited today and was pleasantly surprised to get two top shelf 1/8ths for the price of one, and two grams live resin for the price of one. Great way to start any day

Rude and unhelpful. I have bought from them repeatedly over the last year. My Id was always the same but some rent-a-cop decided he wanted to make an issue about a 75 year old white guy with terminal cancer (it's not like I look like I'm under age) having old ID. I do not see how you can trust a store that seems to enjoy, suddenly, after months of shopping there, just want to push an old ill man around. Go to a store you can trust.

This is my new spot.  Parking is a nightmare because it has a weird location. Like, the best and the worst- you can see it from every angle of any of it's three intersecting cross streets, it occupies the corner spot of two major streets in Santa Monica/Venice. During the day, you can't park until you circle or cut down an alley at least twice but often more.They have great gummies that actually quazi work for me (if I take the whole box plus 4 of another box), but usually it doesn't matter how many edibles I injest- it's just not like the old days when you'd make the THC butter at home and have no clue how much THC was in them- any of them.  They used to have a potency that I haven't come across since I was like 19 years old.  The "micro-dosing" non-sense is just that- non-sense.  It's like how do you suggest I feel the difference between being high on life versus on 10ml of THC?  Even the typical gummy package comes with a total of 100ml of THC, which really sucked when I thought I had finally found gummies (my wife likes gummies a lot because she had asthma and we rather she not inhale any smoke) that came in a package containing 340mg of THC because I had read they had it on WeedMaps' menu for their store, but when i went they only had the standard 100ml.  I did not like their choice of tinctures at all and I have tried what they consider their most potent tincture- it didn't have any effect which is because they don't carry a good brand for tinctures and neither do they carry syrup.  I like the staff and the cleanliness of the store and even like their pre-roll selection quite a bit, so I go in here to but the gummies in the photos and a jar of baby jeeters and that's cool. They have a discount for first time customers, but it only applies if you spend $50 or more which you definitely will because they are overpriced.  They used to be medical only and maybe because they feel that they carry medical grade products that when they began to allow recreational customers, they figured they could raise their prices.  Baby Jeeters are often sold out from other dispensaries (no one ever has them all), but this dispensary carries at least 5 or 6 different Baby Jeeters jars at any given time.  They always have hybrid. indica and sativa Wyld gummies and I would recommend the Hybrid.  If you take enough, it'll be a good day/night- and do smoke also because it really helps the gummy high kick in.

Very friendly staff that is supet helpful in making sure you get what you need. I went one afternoon and there was a line but it moved very quickly. Once I got in, I was given a rewards card which gave me a discount for my first few visits. The employees took their time making recommendations for me and even let me know additional discounts that I could get in certain brands. Great customer service goes a long way and I would go back for that reason alone.

I suffer from severe back pains due to breaking my back 14 years ago when I was a teenager. Usually I am able to get help thru physio therapy but due to the pandemic I can't, so I decided to buy these products thru eaze. Eaze is just a delivery company so I didn't have any problems with them, but after taking the recommended dosage two days in a row (a piece of chocolate two days ago and a whole bud of marijuana last night) I wasn't even a little bit high either night.The last time I took anything with cannabis in it was in December 2019, and have only done were 6 times in my entire life, so I know that the dosage shouldn't be that high for me at all. However, I've gotten more high after taking Benadryl or drinking too much coffee than I've gotten from these products. Unfortunately this green goddess is yet another mythological creature. Won't buy from here again.

Incredibly rude and nasty front desk person. I walked in, barely said anything and she started verbally attacking me. So bizarre and unprofessional.

GGC has been around for a long time and it's just 2 blocks from Venice beach!!GGC has the largest selection of THC choices-buds, vapes, edibles, beverages, and etc.. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable about THC, so if you want to blaze by the beach or you want to try THC to alleviate some pain or anxiety; ask your Budtender for suggestions.

This place was so close to the beach and also friendly staff as well. We were greeted and also learned a lot about the products and recommendations. If you signed up for the promotions, they give you a discount on your first visit or so. Good high quality products and this is very helpful especially for a person with chronic pain. Would recommend this place to friends and family.

I am not from the area and decided to take a chance with an online pharmacy.I was incredibly impressed with the quality of their products and personalized service. Nathan and his staff are extremely professional and competent.I highly recommend this collective!

Awesome staff! Helped me with any questions and finding what I needed. Great selection. Some of the best prices on drinks.

Super good deals, and top of the line products. Their delivery service is amazing. Top of the line service.

Jade did an amazing job helping us out.. 100% worth the trip. Good quality/ good prices

Excellent product. Great people. Service oriented :-). My first visit there had a small snafu over a price, and I randomly mentioned it to the person out front on my second visit. Not only did they make it right when I got to the regiater, but everyone there is just so nice, it's hard to stay upset! Great job on the beautiful store, great service, excellent people, and some tasty products of course. Okay and I kind of dig the digital see and sniff system they have! You pull the container towards you and it tells you what you're holding!! You've got a new fan in the neighborhood! Charlie from the Deli ;) See ya soon pastrami!
