Hands down the best place for patients serious about their medication. The quality of product, the knowledge of the staff and the subtlety of the location make it my one-and-only go to place for my medication. The staff is super friendly and always interested in how I'm doing as I navigate my though a newly diagnosed chronic illness, of which they are intimately knowledgeable of the ways in cannabis can alleviate my pain & symptoms. I have yet to come across anything similar to this in the LA area. read more

My friend and I were loyal members of this collective at their original location. We spent big bucks there because they were good, but very, very expensive. Then they closed down for a spell. Their website said to email them or leave a phone message. I left more messages and sent more emails than I can count. Not a peep. Not one return email. Not one return call. I've since found La Brea Caregivers to be as knowledgeable, more friendly and certainly more reasonable in costs. While providing a high level of service and product, they don't take themselves as seriously as Cornerstone. I'm glad I found some place better ... but I'm still giving Cornerstone 1 star for apparently not giving a damn about their original members. read more

Staff is extremely knowledgable and the product selection includes small businesses with ethical values.

In regards to my previous review. I gave an honest assessment of this establishment and a member of this collective commented on my review that what I said didn't happen. If you read my previous review I was treated very rudely and I don't recommend this place. I give fair assessments and don't jump to conclusions. I just caution anyone before you decide to visit this business. Guy at the door looked at me didn't even let me speak and rolled his eyes as I was told I needed to make an appointment. I had $100 to spend and went to another dispensary was treated with respect and am annoyed that I wasted my time going here. Just be warned read more

The best dispensary I've been to. Their lobby is top tier, which a lot of places don't do correctly. This aesthetic is important, I've found out. Their staff is on point and friendly and they've got what you need read more

This was one of my favorite "high priced" dispensaries until I was shorted twice on my orders, so it gets two stars. I will no longer frequent, and am glad there are other dispensing facilities in the area. read more

The relocated Cornerstone Collective dispensary on Colorado Blvd (across the street from the mall) is in this unobtrusive little brown building. You walk up to the door and it swings open as you approach. A handsome young man in a three-piece suit greets you (if you're a member) and tells you the time, for your convenience when you sign in. Things have certainly changed since the first time I bought pot. My cousin and I walked through a grove of sycamore and oak following a friend into the Canyon one summer morning. Our destination was an old bungalow that had been added to over the years and now sported a deck, a large garage and featured a tipi, towering above the roof. The floor inside the tipi was covered with Persian rugs, pillows, boxes filled with soaps, incense and all sorts of knick-knacks. Half a dozen people were spread out on pillows, smoking a waterpipe, talking. G. had unwrapped a brick and broken it up to test. We were invited to sit and have a taste. He said he had thirty bricks... How many did we want? Having been an outlaw smoker for many years, it still blows my mind that I can legally buy and use pot. Not only has cannabis regained its honored status in the pharmacopeia, its true value as a social and economic resource is being reconsidered. The knowledge and skill employed in the cultivation and application of cannabis has gone far beyond what anyone could imagine forty years ago. The staff at CC are on the cutting edge, as far as I'm concerned. Their suggestions have been helpful and they take the time to hear what you're saying. As well as beautiful buds in clean, labeled glass jars, there are comestibles, tinctures, vaporizers and books for sale in the comfortable dispensary sitting area. It really is a pleasant space. As for prices, well, when I consider what a lid cost in 1970 compared to now, it's outrageous! Still, there are discounts available at CC, just ask your helpful consultant behind the counter. Still can't believe it! read more

I did do my homework. Called several times only to be sent to a voice mail box where I HAVE left very detailed message. And haven't had a return call. So........ That's my story. read more

Hi! I'm a nerd, i dunno the first thing 'bout pot, edibles, vapes, flowers, pipes, bongs, culture or nothing. its true! I have never smoked out anything stronger then cloves and felt sick as heck after that! BUT, I do have a strong amount of pain in My life that I have to take care of. Facial reconstruction, shoulders and hands (don't ask, just guess what kinda misspent youth I musta' had!). Papa and Barkley CBD was introduced to Me by My wife trying to help Me find a solution so We could both sleep and go about My active daily lifestyle. It works for Me within 5 minutes and lasts bout a hour! After running out of My first supply, I yelped around and found Cornerstone as the closest local I could by "my" brand at. Been coming here and happy bout it for nearly a year now! Great happy service, even on My grumpiest day! Yeah, I'm paying alot for what I get, but I dunno, being a newbie', I'm not used to much else and am happy with Cornerstone! Woo! read more

First off I admit I tried to go there with only a legal medical marijuana prescription from a doctor and a photo ID that is good enough for every other dispensaries in the State of California, except them. A large bouncer blocked me at the entrance. ( I'm over sixty, not a stoner). I was forced to stand on their porch beside Colorado Blvd. while every car that passed, including my neighbors, could see me waiting to get into a dispensary: so much for anonymity. I was told that they had to review my medical records and discuss the nature of my diagnosis, before they would sell me any product. This requires an appointment. These people are not doctors. They have no right to see and review my medical records: so says California law. They are want-to-be doctors who get off trying to play doctor with people. I was given a card to make an appointment by phone. I was standing right there. Why couldn't they make an appointment with me face-to-face? So I called to make an appointment. I got voice mail. No one ever returned my call. Yes, I was polite and subservient in my request. My advice, stay away from this place! read more

Incredibly nice and helpful staff. The front desk literally offered me donuts(Krispy Kreme) which is pretty amazing. I have anxiety and they were able to cater to my needs and teach me information on what to get in the future. The menu is very large and the selection is great ranging from flowers to vapes to edibles. Definitely will return. read more

Went in Sunday and maybe my expectations were too high. Meds are overpriced IMO and as far as potency is concerned, I think they might have sold me the cannabis that does not contain any psychoactive ingredients. Bought two of their flagship strain, Hazy Kush and Pincher's Creek, the only thing I can say: WEAK SAUCE. read more

I've been "medicating" with cannabis for more than 40yrs (Humboldt, Hawaii, Thailand, Afghanistan) and since 420 arrived, I've visited approx. 25 dispensaries in LA Area; Clearly, CRS stood far and above all other suppliers. I've been with them since shortly after they opened in 2007. Always checking other locales but nothing comes even close. I can say unequivocally that this dispensary is the top of the heap for a number of reasons: They are, in my experiences, by far the most knowledge about the medical use of cannabis; they offer the most literature and reference material; they are always the first with new improved methods of ingestion, (vapor, atomize, edible, etc) accessories, more and most importantly is they have a level of customer service and customer care that stands far and above any other dispensary I've ever visited. Northern California and Amsterdam included.... Don't quite understand the bad reviews for personal. Usually when there's friction, it's a two sided street. Give friction, get friction. I find all the personal very courteous and accommodating. Prices, the old adage applies here. You get what you pay for. The quality of their goods in unequaled and their satisfaction guarantee policy is unrivaled. It's simple: "you don't like for any reason, bring it back in a reasonable amount of time (a day or two) and they will trade you out at full value for anything else in stock". Never had to use their guarantee cause the goods are always consistently good. I dare anybody to ID another dispensary that has a policy like that. Further they always have specials going that are up and more than 50% off for those price conscience types. Always a classy joint, well decorated, a "sterile" level of cleanliness, tasteful claim surroundings, greatest goods, greatest people; what more could you ask for??? Have recommended several friends (10+) and consensus is always the same. INCOMPARABLE! Come in and see for yourself, it's a whole new level of professionalism you've probably not experienced before.... read more

I've been a patient at Cornerstone for 4 years, and I've not gone anywhere else unless I absolutely have to. The reason for this is that they are the best at what they do, period. I've been to other dispensaries, especially after receiving my recommendation, and most of them are shady. I remember one place in Eagle Rock (since shut down, and good riddance) where a large, foreign man with gold rings and a suit would serve you while several other men in suits smoked cigars in the back. I'll let you connect the dots on what kind of operation those guys were running. Cornerstone is the opposite of those fly by night places. The staff is educated and caring. They remember your name, and will recommend new varities based on what you've found to be most effective in the past. They have patient appreciation days fairly often, and these usually come around holidays to help you get your meds easier when there would usually be a rush. All the products they offer are top shelf, and I've NEVER in 4 years been dissapointed with anything from them. Becoming a member is a process, but trust me it's worth it! read more

Prices are GAS. My budtender was an OG thank you for the experience. You guys did an awesome job

This place is the definitive guide to cbd medication. They are not open to the public and you can only join by appointment and personal referral. (They check your referrals so be honest.) I can't find another place near the sgv that had better quality or knowledge of medicine. The rick Simpson oil is a life changer. Do not come here looking for a bargain, come here looking to get well. They are epitome of high quality meds and service. I'm always happy when I leave. read more

This place is legit. Their kush is california grown from the best marijuana legal distributors world wide. Its not sprayed with outrageous chemicals like jungleboys or other L.A hood grown illegal weed grow operations. This place is by the book and the reason why medicinal marijuana is legal and not burning it by other illegal weed shops giving it a bad name by earning a fast dollar. Im telling you this is real weed and legit. You wont find any department raiding this shop because its the real deal of being a legit medicinal marijuana dispensary. read more

Integrity, Credibility, Wisdom & Knowledge are all found at this Collective. Product quality remains superior to their competitors. Cornerstone Collective is the example to follow. read more

If you are looking for superior quality meds then you will go to Cornerstone. They are super accommodating and always willing to help. The place is impeccably clean. Cornerstone is one of only a handful of dispensaries in that is invested in the science and the cause for medical cannabis. Highly recommended. read more

I have been a member for several years. Excellent customer service. Pricey medicine. Over the years the medicine has been going down hill. They do not have the quality of medicine they used to have. They used to have the best flowers around L.A...but not so much these days. read more

They're not your run-of-the-mill dispensary. The people here are amazing --educated, intelligent and thoughtful --environment is beautiful, too. If you're looking for a sketchy place with Bob Marley pics on the walls, this isn't for you. read more

Great place for cbd edibles and they got lab results too...perfect! The shop looks very discreet on the outside, the prices are good and the quality is the best ive seen in town. The staff is great & very informative. The only thing you should be aware of is that you need to make an appt. Before you go can go in, but its worth it. read more

My wife and I went into Cornerstone for our first time visits and we were blown away! We have both been MMJ patients for 7 years and Cornerstone is the definition of what a MMJ Collective should be. Well worth the visit from anywhere in southern California as this collective knows their stuff. We will be back again and again. Thanks guys and gals! read more

I LOVE this collective. They were recommended to me by a nurse where I get infusions for severe multiple sclerosis. I had given up on cannabis. It was expensive and it didn't always help. I went to Cornerstone Research Collective with a great deal of trepidation. But as I pulled up I saw a place that was the antithesis of party city USA. Facilities are top notch and I was met by a caring and extremely knowledgeable staff. They explained how cannabis worked, why it didn't work for me consistently when I used it before and how I should use it. With their help I have been able to cut down on the amount of Robaxin, Neurontin and Percocet I use. It may sound stupid to some people but they have literally impacted my life for the better. For over 5 years I have never had to worry about the quality of the meds I take because Cornerstone worries about that for me. What they tell me to do works. I have reduced pain, the feeling of hornets walking around inside my hands and feet are reduced by CBD's that allow me to sleep. During the day I use a vaporizer with a Kush that allows me to cut down on the pills that used to make my speech slurred and my balance worse. I recommend this collective to anyone who is looking for people who care, people who will answer your questions (without making you feel like an idiot) and if it doesn't work they'll take it back and find something that wil. read more

I appreciate these people and the excellent work they do. Everyone there has a great understanding of what helps what, and that is important to me. Thank you all for your care and patience! read more

The most professional, high-quality option in NELA. Friendly staff, and they take credit cards. Plus they have parking!

Fine establishment. Knowledgable and friendly staff. Excellent selection of medicines. Great experience!

Cornerstone is one of so few businesses who take their product seriously, as well as their patients. As a picky consumer, everything is top notch! The staff is always kind and professional and informative, and I feel "safe" when on the premises. I would recommend this place only for people who take their needs seriously. Thank you Cornerstone, I love you guys! Keep up the amazing work in supporting the Green Revolution! read more

Cornerstone Collective is a remarkable place. Not only is it a beautiful space, the staff is very warm & friendly and incredibly knowledgable! I was assisted by a staff member named Monica. She was very patient and a great listener. She was very generous with her time and answered all of my questions. I've been to several dispensaries all over LA. Cornerstone is by far the best! read more

Peaceful, eclectic, sweet smelling environment....with the BEST medicine I've experienced in SO-CAL...courteous staff with a wealth of wisdom... read more

This is no question the best dispensary that I've gone to. Very friendly and super organized. The knowledge of the employees is super helpful. I always have questions about new strains and what will benefit me most. Keep it up! You guys are rockin it right. read more

Cornerstone Research Collective is by far the most professional and knowledgeable collective I have ever visited. Their selection of super quality medication, as well as their vast selection of options (other than flowers) is amazing! Everyone that works there is friendly, knows the product, they really care and want to make sure you get the proper medication for your particular needs. Very professional and a perfect example of what a collective should be. AAA+++ Peace me out! Trish read more

This place is awesome! Great staff and great meds! Beautiful decor and professional feel. Exactly what the cannabis connoisseur looks for.

This is the very best collective in LA. These flowers are primo. The high CBD oil is really great for imflamation. I saw Marcus as a counselor & he was really knowledgable & compassionate. A little pricier than the other places I have been, but so worth the increase to know the bud is tested. I have gotten over the "cough" I had from the last place... read more

Hands down the best I've ever been to! I've been a patient with them since their last location on eagle rock blvd till now and couldn't be anymore happy with how they operate. The staff is ultra friendly and the flowers are best quality. I would give more stars if possible. read more

It was my first time back since their previous location. This is an equally attractive, courteous and well maintained place right in the heart of cool Eagle Rock. I highly recommend. No other pharmacy I've been to compares by a long shot. You get what you pay for. read more

As far as I can tell from this first, (and last), purchase, THIS PLACE SUCKS!!! My friend just picked me up an eighth of "Blue Maui" from this place. The total cost was $55.04 (that's after the 15% first time discount) I guess if I ever went back for a second time it would cost me even more!!! UNFREAKING BELIEVABLE!!! If I had known that I would have told her to forget it, and find a cheaper place. As if that wasn't bad enough, the pot is crap!!!! It's the weakest weed I've had.in a long time. The last time she got me an eighth from a place over near the Brewery for $30, and it was great, (plus they loaded her up with some great first timer freebies). This cost me almost twice as much, and it's not even half as good as the $30 eighth was, (and zero first timer freebies, except for that generous 15% off that got it down to $55). What a joke. Most places charge $30 to $45 for an eighth, so why would I ever want to go back to a place that will charge me close to $70 for eighths in the future? Maybe it's just the Blue Maui that sucks, and all the rest of their weed is totally kick-ass,(maybe), but if they are charging $55 for an eighth, I'm never going back. That's too bad, because they are literally 1 mile from my apt. and it would have been great to have a place so close. Oh well, if they want to gouge people, they won't be seeing me around there. I thought all those gouger places dried up, but I guess not. I saw some good reviews on this place, and wonder why anybody would pay through the nose and think it's ok. It's not hard to get some friends to give you some great reviews, and maybe there are some wealthy customers who don't care that they're getting ripped off price-wise, but for me, just a regular Joe, I don't care how "nice" the people are being to me if they aren't being nice to my wallet too. read more

Hands down, the most professional dispensary around. The staff and service is impeccable as well as the product. I have been a loyal patient for over 7 years and there is no where I've been where the knowledge and expertise even comes close to Cornerstone. Loyal to the cause of alternative health and medicine, Cornerstone stands out above the others. If you're looking for a serious dispensary with the right medication and knowledge for your needs, this is the place. read more

I have been a member for several years spanning 3 locations. My first budtender was Michael Backes - how cool is that? This is a serious place for serious medical cannabis seekers. Yes, you need an appointment your first time, as it says everywhere. Yes, you need a certificate. I feel the prices are very fair. Not as cheap as some places advertise, but the quality is superior; you definitely get what you pay for. The budtenders are knowledgeable and helpful. It is a 3-hour round-trip for me to go here, but it is the only place I buy from now. I just save my money and buy a lot! read more

Extremely knowledgable staff, great service, best selection of slaves, edibles, oils, and tinctures.
