I am a long time user of cannabis, it's medicinal and recreational value has been quite obvious to the majority of the world forever. Finally we have medical cards and a small handful of dispensaries. I found the orientation silly, but if it's law, fine. I give 1 star for friendly people, and 1star for a pleasant and professional run retail end. My problem is not so much the cost, though your cartridges are running about 1/2g shy for 70 dollars, but really what bothers me is the final product. In the literature, they are boasting about state of the art growing facility. Let's pretend you do, and you dumped no less than 500k in your growing facility only, not state of the art but, you should be able to rock it. The problem for me is almost every 3$blue jar meant to protect the product from degradation is nonsense when you should save that money, and wait until your head grower learns how to flush the product correctly, I'm sure your ppms are over 300 in your final run off, can't imagine what a slurry would read at harvest.. That's why you don't display all the residual contaminates and just the thc, cbd, etc. Do you use insecticides, etc. Next, is Key, it's called the cure. This is done over weeks. First dry in 50 percent humidity, when done with that, move to curing tubs, burbed a couple of times a day. Eventually the smell is of the natural terpenes. Do it your way, which smells and tastes like grass,or hey, burns throat. Too often there is just a harshness and crackling from residual nutrients, black, or Grey at best ash, not good, means it's full of nutrients. Curing is the make or break of the final product. This takes a couple to 3 weeks. Dry' at 50 percent humidity for a while, then bins burbed daily, eventually you want aprox 12percent moisture in acured bud. Now, assuming you flushed it, the flavor via terpenes, profile is on full display, you should see a glistening trichome covered bud. If you really are hand trimming, that's silly, your quality does not warrant, and that's not what a hand trimmed bud looks like. When so much has a harsh grassy taste, you dried to fast. Maybe skip the jars and add a 12percent bavida packet to get to and keep at correct moisture level. I realize lots of customers either don't care or much more likely don't know, and give 5 stars on staff, and how great the flowers are. Their ignorance is no excuse for this to be called medical grade, particularly because you aren't proudly posting how clean your cannabis is with full disclosure of your reports. The thc value of one run you tested, and then used results to make a menu is mis leading, regardless if it's all clones, every run is slightly different. I guess you might as well clean up while you can, because when you are faced with real competition, like when it goes recreational, it will be about quality, and branding it. You have a long way to go before you could ever consider the quality grade A. Nothing more annoying then dropping top dollar on poorly to mediocre quality cannabis, from a "medicinal facility. Sorry for the book, but I have given an honest opinion gathered over a few months, so it's not a disgruntled customer thing, it's just what is, and too many people are enamored with the nice Abercrombie and Fitch dressed staff, and just assume they're buying top notch. It hurts twice to spend money on this, and then again, while smoking, hurts throat and sinuses I think a business that is a guaranteed money making machine should be held to standards.. Osha, fda, and whoever else should make full disclosure a law, and this would weed out sub par growers, and businesses. It's a privilege you were awarded the license to open. So assuming I had the money for all the applications and licenses, still doesn't mean I'd be able to open a store, or you. It's like a winning lottery ticket here, no real competition means no reason to improve. When real growers are player's down the road, not seeing any longevity for these few current dispensaries. Guess it is what it is for now. read more

Breakwater ATC it's the best refinery you're going to find in New Jersey with all quality and what they say they have they have no surprises always adding new strains been going here for two years over two years I won't go nowhere else friendly knowledgeable a real 5 star read more

This place is a joke. You cant go there til you schedule your "first" appointment. Its been 6 months and they still havent added a day yet. This is a absolute joke. read more

First and only dispensary I've ever visited. Travel time and traffic are minimal from my area. Product are high quality. No reason to change. Just wish there were hours available on Sunday as my business schedule conflicts and I can't get there when I need to. read more

I drove over an hour to get here. The people that work at this place are rude and have an attitude of entitlement. I asked to use the lavatory only to find out " we don't have a public restroom " not sure what this means but couldn't use it . They were unable to accommodate me for my meds and told me to come back tomorrow. I DROVE AN HOUR! I wouldn't come back if the meds were Free . Steer clear of this place it's a awful experience especially if you have some sort of depression . Most likely this is top 10 worst customer service ever. Especially at check in .. read more

Very convenient however very long wait for 1st appointment. The vape cartridges have frequently gotten clogged. Sometimes actually couldn't even be smoked. Nighttime lozenges help me sleep but have been out of stock for almost a year. Curaleaf vape cartridges are far superior. read more

Started going here November 2015. Easily the best or second best dispensory in NJ, hands down. Only Compassionate Sciences comes close. Wish they had smoke free options for THC and CBD alike. read more

I have been going to this dispensary for a number of years. I have been to many in and out of NJ. Breakwater by far is one of the top 5 dispensaries I had the pleasure of working with. When you leave a message it is always returned by the end of day. They have a variety of cannabis options, always professional, knowledgeable, and check what is on sale!! This is one satisfied customer thanks breakwater read more

SOS, I can not reach Breakwater Dispensary through website or phone number. This is the dispensary the State of NJ assigned me to, on my card and the only dispensary that I can get to, because I am using the product for anxiety disorder with panic attacks. Most severe panic attack is being in a car for an extended amount of time, due to going through a windshield some years ago. Can't get anyone to reply or help me with this problem. Can someone tell me what to do? Website says you are running 45 days behind. But your calendar to book a first time appointment appears to have no openings from now (all days are grayed out) through the next 2+ years. Please help?!!! read more

This dispensary's wait time for first appt was crazy long. Not a fan of this dispensary at all. Bait and switch going on. They advertise low cost shake, that they NEVER have. Lower price bud is also advertised, they also don't have this a lot also. So what your left with is very limited strains. Oh they advertise tons of strains, but awe, sorry, we don't have that right now!!!! What your left with is very expensive, overpriced, low potency, "premium" bud. No thanks! This place looses my business read more

This facility has the nicest most accommodating people in this business, I always get what I pay for and the varieties are awesome. I highly recommend them to anyone that can benefit by this type of treatment. read more

I did not actually go there yet, however, their customer service is super. I saw BREAKWATER TREATMENT listed when I was trying to find a medical marijuana card. I emailed Breakwater and received a reply immediately. They were able to direct me to a physician who would be able to help me that is less than a mile from my house. They were very nice, polite and helpful, best of all they were able to answer all my questions. Even though I live much closer to Montclair, I wouldn't think of going anywhere but Breakwater. I will update as soon as I physically go there. Well, here it is July and I still don't have an extra 500.00 for a MMC. Hopefully the next governor will think it's a great idea to have all that extra tax money coming in, and herb will be legal. (Again). read more

It's the best dispensary unless you wanna take a further drive. This beats Woodbridge, and Montclair . The prices are reasonable and they also have sales every week. Everyone here is extremely knowledgeable and helpful and nice. They make you feel comfortable and it's just a very easy smooth transaction. read more

The jar of medication I received was infested with spider mites. I called multiple times and managment never got back to me. When I walked in to talk to a manager, manager Stan was rude and accusative. Very upset with my visit. Will not be returning and do not recommend. read more

There products are very good .They help me alot.I have full-body rsd/crps severe in nature and Im so happy this program is available to me.Give them a try you wont be disappointed. Good luck to all who suffer. Thankyou Breakwater!! read more

No matter what selection you make, you can't be connected to an actual person. Other dispensaries if you call you can actually speak with someone. Poor customer service in my opinion. read more

I just got my card and this place was not only close but my doctor recommended it. Like others I'm sure I was visualizing a dark shop with sitar music and beads in the doorways. It is actually in an office center, well lit with a clean waiting room. The people who greeted me were very friendly. I then met some people who went over the forms and explained what they had. I then met with a very nice attendant who explained all the strains, what they were for, how to take it etc. He was very patient made some good suggestions and even wrote down which ones to take for what. I didn't realize how little you need. I doubt I will need more for a long time. I also got the Grape Ape topical oil. It worked really well on cramps. I am trying the different ones, but it will take a while to figure out the best formula. One note, I only smelled the Grape Ape oil and it's very strong and skunky and reminds me of cat pee, luckily it has no taste. But it's nice if you want a dose in the middle of the night and you dont want have to deal with smoking. I would recommend this place, especially if you are new. read more

Almost never answer the phone. You leave a message and they never call back. There is no way to verify an appointment on their website. They have a long ways to go just to make it to two stars. read more

Everyone there very nice. Explain different strains that would help you. Would highly recommend! Will be going back.
