Everyone is laid back, good quality of stuff, good edibles. Very informative for first timers. Well medicated upon leaving.... and had some dank ass kush in my pocket... Anyone would love this place.

$60 dollars for an eighth of sour diesel is a bad deal, there are so many other good clubs in San Francisco to choose from. I dont know why anybody would go to this place twice.

I revisited the Hemp Center a few days later. This time there were all different staff people there. They were friendly, helpful, knowledeable, and I actually had a very pleasant experience buying some seriously good pot.

So what I would say is, that the service here is inconsistent; and it depends on who's working that day. Some of the people who work here are very friendly and knowledgeable. Some of them are not!

This would be a better place if they were good more often; but still, I've been coming here for three years and they have really good, high-quailty medication; and sometimes they are nice people and are capable of providing good information and advice.

Like some of the other reviewers, I agree that this place has good pot and poor customer service.

The employees rarely if ever have any knowledge of the product. If you go in and ask for a good strong sativa, they have no idea. If you ask how this month's shipment of Train Wreck compares to the same strain from a few months ago ... they have no idea.

Today was the second time I went there and was unable to do business due to the rudeness and incompetence of the staff. The guy was actually f*cking with me to the point that I just walked out. And this is after driving all the way up there from the 'burbs.

I don't want to diss this place for just a few bad apple employees. But they really need to clean up their act in terms of customer service. I do like their product, but I'm currently shopping for a new dispensary. I'm just tired of the way I get treated here sometimes.

This place is all you need in a pot club. You can buy 5 bucks of any of their 30 strains and see what you like, before you waste your money on some boo boo like at some other clubs.

It may be a little pricey per eighth, but you'll always find some top quality, connoisseur worthy, cannabis. I found the staff very helpful and knowledgeable of their products, but a sort of no bs atmosphere. If you act like a douche, those guys aren't afraid to call you on it, but if you show them respect, they'll treat you with respect.

One employee was "extra" nice to my dog, but overall they seemed harmless. One guy flirted with all the girls and even asked my girlfriend for her number right in front of me. He thought we were brother and sister, an honest mistake. In conclusion i think the hemp center is like a wave in the ocean, just swell.

The staff had poor customer service and the medicine was very expensive.

I read a few reviews about the Hemp Center and wasn't expecting much of it, but I went anyway because it's only a few blocks from where I live in the Richmond. Wow was I surprised. It took a couple of minutes the first time because you gotta register with them and get a membership ID and all, but it saves a lot of time in the long run. Trust.

As for the selection, I was blown away with how many different types of buds they have. They have at least 3 "low-grades" that go for $35 an eighth ($12 a gram), at least 4 or 5 "mid-grades" ($40 an eighth/ $20 a gram), and another few high grades ($50 to $60 an eighth/ $20 a gram). Their supplies are consistent yet ever-changing, so that's refreshing. The best part is that they sell in any dollar amount so you could get a variety pack on your visit by betting nickel-bags.

Other pros include a wide array of edibles (including ice cream) and volcanoes that you can use.

The one downside is that they enforce sales tax on bud sales, and also the fact that their pre-rolled joints are $15 because they're fatty Euro-style cones (which is how I roll them anyway and would rather buy a cheap gram bag than a $15 joint).

You have to become a member of the club (doctor's note was good enough for me) and they give you a 4-digit membership number.

When you visit, all you have to tell them is your number and last name.

The staff is unpredictable at times varying from energetic/helpful to indifferent/spacey. I can understand the other reviews here. Always quick service, though.

Med-large selection, probably about 20 different strains at any given time. Lately, it's been the same variety with a few new ones changed out. $60 for high-grade 1/8 and they don't discount as you go up in quantity. They have sales often so you can score lower-grade 1/8s for $35.

Good selection of gels, candies..

Yummy edibles ($3-$8)- "Tainted" brand is delicious. They also carry "Destiny's Kitchen" which is organic and vegan! Awesome banana bread and one of the staff told me the strains a particular cookie was cooked with - very cool.

They have a lounge where you can chill and smoke. Mellow vibes, hip hop music usually. I've been going on and off for 1 1/2 yrs and enjoy the easy access, quick service and selection. They are closed on Sundays which is the biggest downside to me.

OVER PRICED....I live close to there and wont bother going back....... great selection and great pot...... OVER PRICED......$60 an 1/8th is unacceptable....like the other reviewer wrote...he may have had his own situation with the staff.......but he is right, they should not be able to sleep with themselves at night charging that kinda dough...... better off looking around a little more

The workers here always act as though they have forgotten that they are a patient oriented facility. They always disrespect me, the owner however does respect me for going to her protests in front of city hall, however she is hardly ever there. Once I had an atrocious experience where the workers became very verbally abusive to me, when I refused to answer a question from a worker which was personal in nature. I had to scream at the top of my lungs "I AM A PATIENT WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME". I used to live near and I would frequent with my roommate. The workers would always say that we were married, and if I went in alone someone would say "where's your wife?" Once a worker said "if i saw you in the street in those clothes I would never have thought you smoked weed" which isn't so negative, but I personally don't like being judged constantly by my medicinal purveyor, just do your job. This place needs a change of employees.

Those cons set aside, this is the only club to serve the inner sunset, and richmond districts, NOT TO MENTION it consistently has the very best herb on the face of the planet, and usually carries "honey melt" which is a whole new experience in THC inhalation. I would recommend this club to anybody, my personal problems with them aside they have the best medicine in the world. I'm sure some dutch would disagree, but that's because THEY HAVEN'T BEEN HERE to truly sample how much SWEETER our medicine can be than their coffee shop's top of the line.

Prices are so - so. If they truly cared, they would sell 40$ eighths of sour diesel, they probably pay $3500 for a lb of it. thats 218 an oz, that's 27$ an eighth they pay. they could make 13$ per eighth, they sell 100 a day, that's $1300 profit a day, that's 39,000$ a month, way more than they pay for commercial rent and licenses. Why is this medicine costing me more than the medicines that destroyed my body? You people should be ashamed of yourselves, when you go to sleep at night, you know charging 60$ and eighth is wrong, it will weigh on your conscience as long as you continue to do what you know is wrong.
