Westwood Collective

It was raided by the DEA in October:

I used to love this place. A little more $$ but it felt like the adjacent greens section of Wholefoods. Great service and atmosphere where other places feel like brothels cum tobacco stores. Sadly however they’ve GONE OUT OF BUSINESS with no reason nor rhyme. Judging by the tawdry mess they left and hastily furnished closed sign i reckon they fled. I’m not up on the local politics or laws so maybe someone can explain what’s the deal and recommend me another decent place nearby. The ones on Westwood blvd are more akin to a Salvadorian brothel in July. Not that i know what that’s like.

Posting for folks interested in trying #MedicalMJ for aches, pains, anxiety, depression et al… I suggest you find the right dispensary first. I highly recommend this one simply because folks my age feel just fine there. About the medicines, I was a doubter re: the 4.20 dark chocolate w/​seasalt bar – edibles often don’t do much for my condition. My very helpful sales gal totally understood and said «Try this one, you’ll like it.» I did. I do! Just gotta be sure not to eat the whole thing! Quite tasty & effective. Plus, the 25% discount for new patient was a bonus.
I’ll be back. Thanks to the Farmacy team for your mellow vibe.

Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Decent selection. Discount for new customers. Convenient location. The prices can be a bit steep but nothing too outrageous.

I had to find a new place to go since the place I was going to closed down. I am new to the dispensary world and I am so happy that I found this place. Everyone is extremely nice and very helpful. They will even switch out the product for something else if you aren’t happy with it. Every time I go in there they are warm and welcoming. I wish that I had gone to them in the first place. I am now a loyal customer and I highly recommend The Farmacy to anyone!

Absolutely the rudest, most Walmartized shop I’ve ever been too.
Feels like a front for the DEA or something.
Yuchhhhhh.

This is THE «go-​to» place for people who actually know herbal medicine, not just cannabis. And I recommend this shop for the hash, tinctures, candies etc., none better or purer.
But: it’s complicated, and hence, not 5 stars: Though the the weed per se is the best, you can (shhh!) do as well for less dough elsewhere. Another downside: They can get a little snobby: I bought a joint of their supposed best for 25 bucks, but it was very loosely packed, dried-​out, and really, not worth the 25 bucks. When I complained about it, they treated me very cynically, as though I was asking for a «freebie». Just for the record, guys, I wasn’t. I was just trying to let you know there was a little quality control issue, and that you should be aware of it.
Except for this one incident, I must say their staff has been super, and I’m not going to let a single negative experience ruin a place I otherwise enjoy.

The staff knows ‘The Ancient Chinese Secret’.
Probably a lot of other things too. The service was outstanding and they know their herbal tinctures so well. Why can’t organic medicine shops pop up all over the U.S. so that people know they have alternatives to traditional drug stores?

I read about this place and thought it was worth checking out. I was the most open and ‘respectable’ place I have seen yet, and the ‘stigma’ of shady business truly doesn’t exist here.
The selection of edibles was truly amazing, but PRICEY!!! Wow, I will not make this my main source, even though it is right next to my home. But that said, the cookies I bought are absolutely fabulous tasting, which prompted me to write this review. The woman behind the counter is an actual herbalist, and while she may not be someone I would enjoy smoking with, she makes for a good doctor.
15% of for first time there. A MAJOR bonus!
$ 35 for 4 cookies (4x) is pretty steep, as I buy individual cookies with larger doses (Dr. Feelgood) for a mere $ 5 at EDEN. That said, these cookies are much better, smoother, stronger.
But if your looking for luxury and can afford the steeper prices, this is THE PLACE to go.

I recently stopped going to dispensaries but this one is the best in LA. I’ve been to several and their service and staff are top notch. The product is great and their manager, Susan, is a gem.
It’s an open environment so you can bring friends but they have to stay in a certain part of the store. You can also bring your pet and sometimes they have doggie treats (don’t worry — not that kind).

this place is a all Natural… everything taste on point .will be back fosho

The low down: Clean, safe, and secure with a large selection of strains, edibles, and hash. There is no buzz system, you just walk right in and everything is out in the open, which is a major plus. The reason I give it three stars is because its way overpriced. For my first visit I got 15%, even so the prices where still sky high. The person that helped wasn’t all that friendly or helpful, Luckily I knew exactly what I wanted, which usually isn’t the case. I will probably go back for their selection of edibles, but there are better dispensaries for almost everything else, esp. when it comes to price.

Good location… I love
Put me to sleep!

The Farmacy is a great find! I had been going to another pharmacy nearby for my meds and had to be buzzed in by security and though the staff there was nice and their product was good, I feel pretty certain they were usually high and it felt a little shady going there.
The Farmacy is nothing like that. When they are open, you can walk right in to a bright, comfortable storefront with professional staff and good products. They’ve been in this location for 3 years and it feels like walking into a legitimate, non-​shady business. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone wanting to get their legal medicine without feeling like they are breaking the law or have to be frisked before entering.

Super-​cool. All-​natural. All vegetarian. Mostly vegan.
The customer service here is outstanding and the ambiance is awesome!
Very cool selection of natural meds. Prices are pretty reasonable — cheaper than Whole Foods!
Gotta try their vegan desserts next time!
Love the idea. :) Farm-​acy how cool is that?!

I went to this place, I love there customer service, and the weed was amazing… Best kush ever… I’m starting my own blog call
and I’m going to put these guys on there

Greetings,
I was in the market for some concentrates and looking for Valentines Edibles for my medical sweetheart… if you will. I stopped at my favorate spot in WestWood… the Farmacy. Here are some thoughts…
I recieved my medical prescription over a year ago (since renewed) and have been an avid fan of my friends at the Farmacy in Westwood.
From my first experience in Sept ’07 to today, the staff is friendly, helpful and most importantly KNOWLEDGEABLE!!!
I have learned more in the last year about different strains, methods and general medical information then I have in 23 years using «illegal pot»
From the greeting when you first walk in, to the group «see you next time» on my way out, I feel that I have been to the best. no need to go elsewhere!
Iam currently registered at 5 dispensaries in LA and Venice, and I continually shop in Westwood because I always know Iam getting the best medicine at the best price, with many laughs to boot… and that always feels good.
The Westwood Farmacy, Susan and Cheyenne and everyone (including the security guy who doesnt get up) really take this place to the next level, you dont have that «are they about to get raided» feel that other dispensaires have. I actually met the owner of the farmacy chain on my last visit, what a class act, he even took the time, in a very busy store, to stop and say «Hi»…very cool
keep up the good work…

I walked down there for an emergency prescription while visiting a friend at UCLA just a few weeks ago.
My friend does not carry a prescription but there was no buzz-​in system or locks on the door so we went right in. right away we were greeted by the employees there who went right to work in checking my license and getting me set up in the computers there.
It only took about 5 minutes and I got to spin the wheel to get a free treat for my first visit!
I’m vegetarian so I got the vegan chocolate gelato and DAMN. That’s it, just DAY-​UM.
That was some good gelato.
There is a pretty nice little variety of vegan edibles there, also the price of them is pretty expensive.
My suggestion is to try the pomegranate lemonade. It was on sale when I was there for about $ 5 and it was really really, really worth it.
While I was talking with the employees, my friend was able to browse around the store. She didn’t show any interst in actually buying anything and they never asked for her liscence so she was able to run around picking out all the vegan foods trying the free tea samples they had. It was great to be able to bring one of my non-​smoking friends in so they could appreciate the calming and friendly atmosphere of the place and get a better idea of how awesome the world of MARIJUANA can be!!!
They had a pretty good selection there, at least 35 strains that day.
The prices weren’t THAT much higher than that of other dispensaries.
They’re all pretty high anyways.
I purchased some Sour Haze while I was there.
And the quality was SUPER WOW for what they described as a midgrade.
The employee who helped me (a super cute tall lab-​coated guy who can get my number if we ever meet again) was EXTREMELY helpful in talking with me about my needs and prescribing the perfect herb for me.
They also have really, really wide variety of Herb medicinals and tinctures and Chinese natural and herbal medicines there. And they also offer a lot of services like herbal consultations and I think even acupuncture or something.
As well as marijuana, the cute guy there talked to me about other things I could use and do to help my symptoms (I got a license for the meds because I am, completely unable to eat without the aid of marijuana and I do not take conventional poisons or toxins ((medicines)) prescribed by medical doctors). He was very friendly, understanding and well informed. He was the one who suggested I get the gelato, as edibles tend to encourage a hunger feeling better than medicating in other ways.
It was really a pleasure visiting this clinic
Next time I go I might sign up for a consultation or a checkup!!!

Interesting store with a giant pumpkin and wall fountain right when you walk in. I didn’t try any of the «meds,» but the advertisement for the gelato caught my attention. They have loads of samples in refrigerated bins that they’ll generously dispense if you ask (and even if you don’t). I swear half the volume in the bin is dedicated soley to samples. The flavors include mint chocolate chip, pineapple mango (supposedly an aphrodisiac), vanilla and probably around 4 more that I can’t remember. I liked the taste of the pineapple mango, but for a little container (think the smallest Ben and Jerry’s size) the price was @#$@ five bucks!!! Yeesh!

Cool ambiance but I suspect the ultra relaxed staff may be sampling the merchandise…
The agave sweetened ice cream is fantastic – but I changed my mind after finding
out a ½ cup serving is $ 10.
OK they get their stars back. The ice cream is…“enhanced”. I should have known that!
