I live in Seattle and I have a medical marijuana card that enables me to purchase and posses certain amounts of the herb. All the legal herb are sold at dispensaries and I was wondering if anyone can tell me what the best clinics are in the city, what are the worse, etc. Just a general overview is what I’m asking for. ---

I don’t know if you will get any answers to such a localized question from these forums. I would suggest getting a copy of The Stranger (free all over the place), there are ads for dispenceries throughout the paper. ---

The best ones are the ones with the weed in them, man! But yea to answer your question, I don’t think there’s many dopers here (heh) that 1) live in Seattle and 2) also been to enough dispensaries to give you a good opinion as to which ones are best. ---

Remember, the quality of the bud is inversely proportional to the amount of clothes the “nurses” are wearing in the ads. 🙂 ---

Dude. Go to [THCFinder.com](http://THCFinder.com), [NWGT.org](http://NWGT.org), [legalmarijuanadispensary.com](http://legalmarijuanadispensary.com)…or just GOOGLE dispensaries. Try Have A Heart CC on Aurora and tell Ryan you were referred by Bethany Sweet. Maybe he’ll remember me as the Medibles lady. ---

[moderating] Moved thread to IMHO, since OP is asking for opinions. [/moderating] ---

**Mod note:** As a gentle bit of advice to all, we don’t allow discussion that in our opinion promotes lawbreaking. This is a little tricky due to the nonuniformity of marijuana laws, but on the whole common sense will be our guide. Discussion of how to obtain MJ illegally is against our rules; discussion of how to obtain it legally for medical use, OTOH, is OK. If a thread veers into a discussion of how you can game the system to get MMJ for recreational purposes, we’ll put a stop to that, so please don’t go there. ---

May I suggest you go to [Grasscity.com](http://Grasscity.com), it is a marijuana based message board and I can pretty much say that you can get an definite answer there 😃 ---

> [@runner pat](#): > > Do they have a snackpit? > > d&r Snackpit? Not that I have noticed, though last time I was there several months ago they had a few threads about food. I contributed a recipe for a crockpot casserole version of pulled pork bbq we like to make. Damned northerners can’t make pulled pork to save their lives, bless their little hearts. > [@the lone cashew](#): > > reported! 😉 Why reported? I pointed out a better site for asking a question at - and did not suggest anything illegal. OP wasn’t even asking anything illegal, just for an opinion on a good place to shop. ---

Note that federal law enforcement recently raided a bunch of dispensaries in [Seattle](http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2016775063_marijuana16m.html), and earlier in [Spokane](http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2014903653_apusdispensaryraids2ndldwritethru.html). The herb may not be as easy to find these days as it once was.
