Review: Dr. Reefer

On the Hill at 1121 S. Broadway there is a set of stairs that will take you down to the home of Dr. Reefer. Dr. Reefer is open from 10-10 but in certain cases they may close a little earlier.

Quality: Doctor Reefer has some very nice buds. He had about four to five strains that I would consider connoisseur grade marijuana, which is more than most. Overall he had a very nice collection from top to bottom, every bud was well grown, cured and dried. I saw a very nice Bubba kush that matches up to most of the top tier strains I've seen.


Price: Dr. Reefer is the most expensive dispensary that I have been to thus far. Many of the buds that I saw exceeded the 20/g mark. I saw a 15/g Super Jack jar that was pretty decent and very unique as it was completely white, not because of crystals but because the plant material was white, regardless I felt it was not entirely worth 15/g. The prices get higher and higher, the Bubba Kush I mentioned earlier goes for $30/g with a limit of 2 grams per customer per a day. I also saw a Shiva Northern Lights that was very nice but at 25/g I don't think I would be inclined to splurge.


Quantity: Dr. Reefer sells their buds in grams straight up with no price cuts, and not every strain can be purchased in large amounts. Dr. Reefer sells a large assortment of strains, about 20-25 all in all.


Extras: Dr. Reefer is a teacher also as he gives grow lessons for a hundred dollars a class. like most places he sells an assortment of hash, tinctures, salves and all kinds of products. Edibles range from $6-$16 and include all different types of dessert food. He has a pretty amazing deal going right now that is if you make a purchase you get a free clone. This is a very interesting offer as most of us are not equipped to start growing but it is still a cool deal.


Overall: Dr. Reefer is located in a very unique space. For one it is a huge basement office with many unused rooms. The store part of the dispensary is very big and open and actually contains big live marijuana plants, which I thought was cool. Overall the building is a little strange as it has an unfinished basement feel to it. The owner is shooting for the boutique feel with his prices but he is not achieving this with the space. Atmosphere and decoration go a long way in establishing the boutique setting and Doctor Reefer has missed out on that aspect. At the end of the day Dr. Reefer is the fun house of dispensaries, there is a lot going on with live plants and grow classes and a huge open, kinda creepy space. The fact of the matter is you always leave a fun house wondering if it was really worth the price of admission.

Rating: Dr. Reefer gets 5.5 Green Thumbs out of ten.
