Marin Alliance Cannabis Dispensary - Fairfax, California

Kevin Webb

Staff: Superb. Gave me the history lesson as an out of towner and what a historic story it is. First legal dispensary in the US. Selection wise you'll find better options but as far as Google could tell, nothing close, especially if you're camping Point Reyes. Great little shop with great people behind the counter and enough goods and prices to fulfill most needs

I LOVE this Dispensary. They've got High Quality Cannabis and Legendary Staff. Troy and Julian are usually my busy, yet professional~ Budtenders. Julian ALWAYS has a magical experience for me and AUTHENTIC words of love n peace n blessings as well. The CANNABIS History residing here is astounding ~ please DO your research on its owner and her role in the original and GROUND ZERO development of Cannabis Dispensaries in California and in the USA. The Development of Medical Marijuana Cannabis began here. Jah bless ☘️

First impression was really good. Store has a nice atmosphere, friendly service, and a good variety of products to sell. I am impressed by the quality of their goods. Highly recommend checking this place out.

Real bad sassy attitude on their budtenders. They hold onto your ID the entire time (never in my decade at dispensaries has that happened to me) and almost forgot to return it to me. Won’t be back! Poor selection and nothing pesticide free “in the entire store” in their words. Isn’t this a medical dispensary? lolll

You want to go where it all started? Come see these wonderful people, who fought to legalize marijuana and are still working today. They will help you with any questions you might have and make you feel at home.

Do not but any plants from Marin Alliance. They are selling 5 gallon containers with a 4 inch pot buried within. See photos. Debora would not compensate in any way. Said "not my problem". Any plants are worth $50 even if we sold it as a 5 gallon plant and it was really only in a 4 inch pot. Please pass along. This was downright fraud.

I had high hopes for this dispensary since it’s near my home. I had read some reviews before going in that complained about the prices as well as long wait times for registration and occasionally poor customer service. Unfortunately, all of those issues arose over the course of my visit.

First off, I was greeted rather coldly and then asked for my ID. The man working gave me a form to fill out that required my phone number, email 8 address, home address, and multiple signatures. I’ve never had to fill out any form whatsoever at another dispensary. It took about 11 minutes for the employee to process all my information and to be ready to help me, in which time 2 other people came into the shop behind me. I was then informed that if I return I have to remember to bring this special, dispensary specific ID (that I’ll definitely lose) in order to skip that long registration.

After that whole registration process was over, I must say I was very excited about the wide range of products in the shop. Many dispensaries only carry a few strains, and often will only have flower and perhaps a few edibles. This shop had countless strains of flower in various quantities, edibles, tinctures, carts, and resins, among many other things. They had an impressive collection of full ounces of flower for $95-130 before tax (which I’ve found somewhat hard to find at most dispensaries). Almost everything was over 30 dollars, with many $70-80+ 1/8ths of flower (including tax). For reference, I find that the average, medium quality 1/8th costs around $35 after tax. When I asked about the employee's recommendation, he didn’t really respond, and when I prompted him about a specific strain he simply handed me the display bottle to smell without offering any additional insight, or words whatsoever. When I asked again for a recommendation, he simply handed me the strongest (highest THC%) flower within my budget. I could’ve totally been upsold or at least been made excited to come back with more money to try out a more expensive strain, however I felt he was annoyed with me for not knowing exactly what I wanted so I just paid and left.

Overall, this dispensary offers very high quality stuff (with cheaper options as well, for the record, but not cheaper than $30 for an 1/8th after tax, at least as far as I could tell) and a huge range of products. However, they run very slowly and have seemingly disinterested employees.

Thank you for reading,
Henry
