Aren't you supposed to be running a business instead of harassing customers? You really need to get a life!!! I would suggest you get a new lawyer as well, because accusing someone of possessing a fake license like your "square badge" did on camera to me is Slander. I'm guessing you didn't tell your lawyer of the above facts and it's on your own video system of me taking my license back from "square badge" and showing him it did have an expiration date on it. I'm guessing you never heard of negligent hiring and retention practices of "square badges" that accuse customers of having a fake license because you didn't train them properly as required. From CA case law: In cases where an employee's lack of training leads to a false accusation, the employer could potentially be held liable under the legal theory of negligent training. This is a form of negligence that occurs when an employer fails to provide adequate training to employees, resulting in harm to a third party. For example, if an employee falsely accuses a customer of having a fake license due to inadequate training, and this accusation is publicly made and damages the customer's reputation, the employer could be liable for defamation. https://www.justia.com/trials-litigation/docs/caci/400/426/ Please send this to your counsel: SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF [Your County] [Your Full Name], Plaintiff, v.

Defendant's employees statements were published, written, and/or spoken to third parties, and were understood to be about Plaintiff, thereby exposing Plaintiff to hatred, contempt, ridicule, and obloquy. 5. The statements made by Defendant were false, and Defendant acted either negligently or with actual malice in making these statements. 6. As a direct and proximate result of Defendant's defamatory statements, Plaintiff has suffered harm to their reputation, emotional distress, and financial loss. 7.

CRC is the best in southern california hands down, bar none. Since 2007 they have kept my faith in the MMJ movement strong, because unlike 99.99% of other "collectives" - they actually care about the social aspect of legalization, and do a lot to support it through good science and research. When I go there, I dont have to worry about shady looking teenagers hanging out in the parking lot blaring cypress hill, and the atmosphere inside is equally as tranquil and calming. I appreciate that more than they will ever know, because I actually enjoy talking to the staff. The NUMBER ONE reason why I drive to CRC regions far beyond is because of THE PEOPLE behind the counter. Every single one of them is extremely knowledgable about each strain of medication, and their recommendations have always been 100% spot on for what I need. They are genuine, good-hearted people that have invested real kindness in me every time I visit, whether I am donating for something small or something large. If I could, I would come by just to chop it up with these guys and hang out. The medication is the best - it is clean, ACCURATE based on effects and always, ALWAYS burns cleanly. They do not have to false advertise with 20+ "different" types of OG Kush, nor BS around with concentrates that are tainted with solvents. Everything, and I mean everything is 100%, no - 110% top quality regardless of donation cost. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone that actually appreciates the subtleties of Cannabis and the true medical potential each unique strain has. To the reviewer below - complaining about not being able to get access - if you actually have a legitimate medical problem, they will absolutely take you in as a patient. Like I said - they are extremely good people who genuinely care about those in need, and that is why they deserve 5 stars. read more

There's no better collective anywhere in L.A., O.C. or San Diego area. The very best medicine imaginable, and I'm a connoisseur. I drive to them half hour each way and stock up for a week or longer at a time. Have been a patient for several years now. Believe you me, their stuff is BY FAR, and I mean BY FAR better than anything you've had (it may come off arrogant, but do yourself a favor and try their stuff and name me a better dispensary in L.A. - and I tried so many I'm practically a dispensary slut :) it was before Cornerstone... Also, their medicine is very often even less than other places, and I feel effect for hours after couple puffs!!! Super knowledgeable staff, super polite. I hate edibles with passion, because they almost all have a nasty aftertaste and you have to brush your teeth after you eat one - not with theirs, their edibles are amazing, cheap too, although I care about quality, not price. I tried all shops listed as best dispensaries on Yelp, there's no comparison, nobody comes close to them. Also, super clean nice location, although for me personally location and how clean the place is and how much everyone smiles... I don't really care but nice that they're super-friendly and very knowledgeable. Even menus are awesome, describe everything. Even their little containers are best in L.A. Classiest place I came across, I was fortunate enough to sign up right before they relocated a few years ago. read more

I am battling cancer. Without my marijuana I am not able to get rid of my pain or have any desire to eat. With the Coronavirus virus affecting access to everything I found that I needed to restock my supply. I contacted Cornerstone and what they did for me was beyond anything I could imagine. I will always be grateful to them for educating and guiding me through the marijuana options to find the best products for my symptoms and for always going the extra mile for me as a patient. They will ALWAYS have my business. read more

This is the Collective to join! The staff are professional and friendly, lots of variety in terms of products, plenty of reference materials., relaxing environment, clean, neat, etc. This is my only experience with a collective but at least I don't have to shop around. My brother did that for me. He found Cornerstone many many years ago. This is a great place, I would highly recommend it. You do need an appointment for your first apt. but that is about it. read more

Best dispensary in socal? More like worst, I only buy from here because they have stuff from some small farms that are difficult to find anywhere. None of their flower is fresh, even what they call fresh drops. They don't refrigerate their rosin while it's waiting for you. Takes forever to wait in the lobby. Weird attitude and vibe here. Never again. read more

I really like this place. I have very bad anxiety, and they are very patient with me. I had a disposable that I bough and it stopped working. They tested it and replaced it for me no problem after testing it didn't work. I really appreciate it, you guys rock and made the experience alot easyer. read more

This is one of if not the BEST dispensary in the State! Really they are, all the folks are super knowledgeable. Their medicine is top notch and guaranteed to be free from pesticides and fungicides. Here is a fun fact: 90% of the dispensaries in Los Angeles cannot say this! read more

Don't embarrass yourself by asking for a straight CBD (i.e. no THC) edible. They don't carry "hemp shit" that "don't do nothin". With an eye roll like that you can be sure the budtender knows what they're talking about! read more

This is the best dispensary with the most knowledgeable staff I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. It makes sense why they have been voted best dispensary in Southern California for the last two years. read more
