**Forbidden Cannabis Club: A Dispensary Wrapped in Mystery, But Definitely Not Forbidden (or a Club)** Step through the doors of **Forbidden Cannabis Club**, and prepare to experience **top-tier herbal perfection**, an establishment so expertly curated that it **defies all expectations**--including, apparently, the very meaning of its name. The product selection? **Unmatched.** Every strain is a masterpiece, every edible a revelation, every concentrate so smooth **it deserves an award**. The staff? **Phenomenal.** Knowledgeable, welcoming, and **ready to guide you through the finest offerings with the expertise of cannabis sommeliers**. And yet--**AND YET**--we must confront the **great paradox** standing at the heart of this dispensary: **It is neither forbidden nor a club.** Washington legalized cannabis years ago, so **nothing here is remotely forbidden**. You can browse freely, purchase freely, and leave **without fear of secret underground operations or dramatic cloak-and-dagger exchanges**. Forbidden Cannabis Club operates **fully within the law**, with licenses, regulations, and **an air of legitimacy so strong it could be mistaken for a government building.** And then--**the club.** You might expect **a private lounge**, velvet ropes, secret handshakes, maybe a doorman checking membership credentials before granting access to **an elite cannabis society known only to the chosen few**. But no. **Forbidden Cannabis Club is, very simply, a dispensary.** No memberships required, no exclusive gatherings, no underground meetings where people solemnly discuss the future of cannabis culture. **Just excellent products, great service, and a name that dares to mislead.** But here's the thing--**the name works.** It adds **an air of intrigue**, a touch of rebellious energy, a hint of mystery that makes walking in feel like **you've discovered something truly special**. And really, you have--**because this place delivers nothing short of cannabis excellence.** Five stars. And **a respectful nod to the audacity of its name.** read more

pretty cool dispensary. appreciate the extra parking in the back. large selection and good deals. the tech here is broken though. there aren't tracked rewards and the website has been down for months. it used to be nice to see if they had what I want before heading over. I don't go as much to this spot with all the other options because of this. read more

Please start labeling the garbage distillates as distillates on the online menu. There's nothing more infuriating than getting home and realizing that something that was labeled 'Cured Resin' is really just a deceptive way of selling the bottom barrel product as something else. I feel tricked into buying this trash. read more

Pre Rolls, Gummies, Cartridges, You name it.... They don't take cards only cash however they do have an ATM inside. Staff was friendly and recommended some good products to try. I'd definietly come back when In town. read more

Thanks to Daniel she's knows her strands and what helps best for me. The owner is so genuine and hands on. I can tell the employees here love what they do and are educated in the products read more

An employee and the owner Tim Reynolds is extremely rude. He is a passive aggressive individual. He goes out of his way to be rude and condescending. Blaming others for being entitled and making personal judgements as such without having any background. read more

So my boy Cedric checked my ID and when I walked in, and I about imploded with joy. Budtender King (he's tagged in a pic) helped me find an oz in my price range AAAND some RSO that would help with my pain. Did I mention @fccseattle420 is PET FRIENDLY; bones and water are ready at a moment's notice. If you're looking for a new dispo, Forbidden Cannabis Club is legiterally the new hot spot in Seattle. Now if only they'd come to Renton read more

This place is the best and the budtenders are always friendly. I'm so happy they moved in after ponder, and they still carry all my favorite brands, plus the deals are killer. One of the budtenders, King, gave me a great indica recommendation after I asked for something to help me sleep. Gelato punch by WA Grower is something I don't think I would have picked out on my own, but King convinced me to try it and wow! It's my new favorite go-to for the night before an early shift. Don't sleep on the discounts and loyalty program. And if King is there, definitely get their opinion! read more

Clean, professional and friendly! We were just exploring the neighborhood and decided to stop in and browse. Ask for Sara, she is so delightful and sweet. :) Thank you for taking the time to share your honest recommendations! Tip: There's an ATM if you have a debit card, but bring cash to avoid withdrawal fees! read more

Genuinely shocked at all the high ratings. Everyone acts like they are way too good to serve. Especially the lady Melonie? She's awful at her job and acts truly mad when customers walk in. read more

I've been coming to this store for years now and over the course of the pandemic, the quality of service and weed has gone to 0. I spend around 6-700 here every week and over the last year and a half the staff has been increasingly rude, and increasingly flippant about the restrictions they place on patrons. Specifically the way that they yelled at me to put my I'd up to the glass one night and then another Yelled at me not to. I'm just tired of being yelled at so I can give you my money. Further, their security doesn't do anything to stop aggressive people from hanging out in front asking for weed. This store was good before the pandemic because it was small and the service was good. Since the pandemic, the rude staff has made it so unpleasant to go here I have to medicate myself before I come normally. Today was the last straw and I'm done here. They've officially made it more costly to deal with them than to just go to the reef in Capitol Hill. So that's where I'm taking my business. read more

This is my favorite pot shop in town. Skip crooked Ike's and cross the street to a better, more lovable shop. The crew is very helpful, patient, and kind. Selection is HUGE. 5/5 highly recommend and ask that you give this shop your business over the nearby competitor. read more

BEST NEIGHBORHOOD WEED STORE!!!! Go here instead of Ike's if you're in the central district, but come here no matter where you are from as this place is the absolute BEST!!! Good whether you want a detailed customer experience or want to stop on briefly this is the place to go!!! King the budtender knows everything there is to know about their products and has great recommendations for whatever you may be looking for. Incredible selection of flower, vape, edibles, etc. TL;DR Products are great, experience of shopping here EVEN BETTER! You won't regret stopping in! read more

It's cool if you're in the area but prices are above normal prices for the exact same product at most other dispensaries, a joint that'll cost u $5 normally is gonna run you about $8.35 cause they add extra tax like the taxes aren't already added onto the price litterally. Something that may be priced at $11 if you check the receipt that product price is most likely only about $7 they add $4 for tax so you can just pay the whole dollar so that extra change is just something their comps specifically adds on. read more

For a true weed smokers who smokes only Gas . This store never has any good weed for $25 dollars shoot even for $30 dollars , they never have no weed that is Gas that gets you high all of there 8ths for $25 dollars are Bammer no good dried up weed. This store is not affordable and just does not serve good affordable weed. I literally HATE it there. I wish they would GO away . And get a better store read more

Very unneighborly :( we pulled into their drive for 1 minute so I could jump out of the car and pick up a large order from Lowrider. The worker was extremely rude telling us we needed to move- which is totally fine because it's valid. However, the delivery of this message was extremely condescending and abrasive. As a result of the interaction alone, I will never visit this establishment. read more

Very distasteful experience here. I walked in and an older gentleman was standing in the store looking at his phone, the young Caucasian female worker with the piercings asked him what he was looking for and he briefly said something like "after I look at this I'll let you know" and crouches in front of the glass case by the door and is looking at the product. The girl then asks "are you looking for flower?" He doesn't respond to her and this girl starts screaming "ARE YOU LOOKING FOR FLOWER" repeatedly at him while walking over to where he's crouched in front of the case - mind you, I just walked in so he probably thought she was talking to me. He looks up at her, realizes she's talking to him and says in a very calm tone "you don't need to yell," and she goes off about how he was ignoring her and he's being disrespectful... the lady sitting by the door to scan the IDs starts laughing and the guy looks at her and kinda laughs and shakes his head, and the lady with the loud mouth goes "oh shes not laughing with you, she's laughing at you." Screaming at a customer and then belittling him by saying you and your coworkers are laughing at him is disgusting. I'm sure they deal with a variety of difficult clientele at this Central District location, but this was treatment was unnecessary. I honestly commend this gentlemen for saying "thank you, have a great day" after she checked him out. I was boiling inside and she wasn't even talking to me. The entitlement and disrespect she exhibited was extremely distasteful. After he left she was still loudly saying how she "doesn't have the time to deal with this today," as if she's not standing there on the clock with no other customers. read more

This used to be good weed shop but now it's bad! Unprofessional and unpleasant staff limited selection and way overpriced weed! At least everyone wear a mask! read more

After dinner at Fat's nearby, my boyfriend and I decided to walk around to take in our first night in Seattle. We definitely pondered (lol) about going to a dispensary since marijuana is recreationally legal in Seattle and Ponder was the nearest one! A short walk down the neighborhood brought us to this brightly lit store with a welcoming bouncer outside. We were warmly greeted right away when we stepped inside and the budtenders were super helpful in guiding us throughout their displays. After looking for a while, we got some tips from the budtenders and ended up purchasing a 3 pack of j's for $12. They smelled great and were very nicely made. The overall ambiance of the store is very clean and uplifting. Loved my experience here, I'd come back to visit to try out some other products! read more

Ponder is my go-to pot shop. To me, it feels like walking into a modern apothecary or herbalist's shop (which, ok, is kind of what it is) because Ponder emphasizes the functional aspect of marijuana. Other shops really revel in the party aspect which is fine, but if you're looking to treat your cramps, your anxiety, your depression, chronic pain, inflammation, etc. you're not looking to get ripped and party, you're looking for medicine. The staff is awesome. They're always smiling and everyone has good suggestions because they know what they're talking about! You can tell you're getting foofoo lip service if your budtender says, "Yeah, you know, it's a really good high, just a little bit of body buzz, and it tastes really good." That's not what you want to hear when you are ready to drop $100. Ponder's budtenders have told me, "This is what I smoke when I need to unwind but I'll mix it with this one so that it doesn't put me out right away. Smoke it a couple of hours before bed. It always gives me a great night of sleep." or "If she's new to marijuana, she can cut one of these chocolates into thirds and see how that affects her first. I like to melt mine into hot cocoa - it's really good with the peanut butter flavor!" They're not afraid to tell you what the better option is, either. Fantastic. IMHO, this level of professionalism is what makes Ponder's clientele and atmosphere so pleasant, too. Everyone who comes here is chill and polite, are a range of ages, and TBH, it feels like the friendly neighborhood pot shop. I've never gotten bad weed from Ponder and my housemates and I have tried a lot of different strains and growers. I *have* gotten bad weed at other shops that either had few discernable effects or felt muddy (the generic "high" feeling). To me, this means Ponder really curates their buy so that the strains they carry have clear applications. Ponder also has a decent selection of CBD things like mints, cartridges, capsules, edibles, tinctures, etc. which are great for anyone who doesn't like to smoke or doesn't want to feel high but just wants to feel better. Prices are really good and they usually have stuff on promotion. The Ponder Promise guarantees that they'll always have stock at certain low prices. If you're visiting from out of town or just dipping your toe into medical marijuana, this makes it cheap to sample marijuana in different forms. $3 chocolates! They now have an option to pre-order online for pickup. And they run Happy Hour from 12-4:20, 15% off. Ponder, I love you. Can you tell? I do. read more

This place was wonderful! There is a "mature" lady budtender (I didn't get her name) but she is wonderful! Very knowledgeable and kind. She informed me of many different items and made me feel so welcomed. I was just visiting the city but would be a repeat customer if I lived her! Thank you for the great experience read more

I love coming to Ponder. Being a cannabis tourist and medical patient, I've been all over the country to various rec and medical dispensaries. This is one of my favorite spots of all! Positive vibes abound, and the staff seems to genuinely care about individual needs and wants, as opposed to other places that want to grab a quick dollar and rush you out the door. Aside from the excellent staff and product selection, I've found their prices to be the fairest of all the cannabis shops in the area so far. Definitely, you have to check out Ponder. Whether you're a seasoned and dedicated fan of cannabis or new to the culture, I think you'll find you're in your comfort zone within their store. read more

Awesome shop, friendly people, my go to place, awesome recommendations, especially from Jason. #noveltree read more

It's nice they carry a few brands Uncle Ikes doesn't. They carry Verdelux Bonboms here. They let my daughter in to purchase. They allow the vertical ID here. read more

Ponder has been thru a lot of changes in the past 2ys of pandemic. The staff is doing it's absolute best to help customers, most which are wonderful. However, the increase in extremely rude and entitled people coming in has put a strain on the staff's morale. Ponder loves it's customers, but the employees are not slaves and honestly, you will be treated with the same amount of respect with which you treat them read more

I've visited this shop several times primarily because it was a small quite shop. The weed-tenders were well knowledgeable about their inventory in response to my needs. I no longer smoke and they had a wide assortment of options for ingestible users. I will continue to visit Ponder as one of my major options of Canibus shops in Seattle. read more

Saviors! Had a horrible experience with Unlce Ike's up the street, luckily the folks here are helpful AND nice. Recommend asking what's good on the day as they've got specials and great product to try. read more

My favorite pot shop in Seattle, nice spot and I love the service there, everybody is so cool and nice, they have a happy hour 12-4. I haven't see those prices in Seattle. And they give me guaranty about my pen. read more

Attractive staff. Really great products. No matter if it's payday or not, if I'm on a tight budget or not, they have taken great care of me.

Ponder is a great lil shop in the CD that is known for converting Ike's regulars. They run some pretty attractive promotions, and even combine discounts during their happy hours. I remember coming in one time and picking up a bunch of half gram infused pre rolls for about a buck seventy a piece......crazy.....It was like 2 bucks on promo and another 15% discount for HH as well....and we're talking full flower infused half grammers..... They have very knowledgable staff here. They know their inventory inside and out and give great suggestions. My only gripe would be that they do not always follow their posted hours and often close at random early times. read more

After Lauren got back to me insisting the frustration I experienced at my last visit was not the Ponder experience, I decided the only fair thing to do would be to stop by again. Especially since I also recalled the selection had looked to be improving the second time I stopped in. I still wanted to evaluate the ease of getting a great happy hour deal, so I decided to stop in for the Saturday afternoon happy hour. I chose the Saturday one simply because I'm working downtown during the week, and it's likely to be the time I stop in in the future should I come by more regularly. I popped in last Saturday at about 12:30, at which point both budtenders were already occupied, so I took a peek in the cases to see if there was anything that caught my eye. There happened to not be this time, but I was happy to see an increased selection of plant apparent there. It only took a minute or two for my turn to come, and it was pretty effortless to explain I was looking for 7g of top notch Indica, budget $100. It may seem silly to remark on that as effortless, but I really can be anxious, and often experience my mind blanking when I actually get someone's attention, so easy communication really is a genuine positive statement on the service I received. Within a minute my helper was back with a few different 7g options, and this time around I was pleasantly surprised to find myself considering between options, as there was more than one great looking selection before me. After a moment I decided on the delicious looking Blueberry from Golden Tree, and sure enough it was rung up at the great happy hour pricing. BUT, they were out of bags to hand me, which shouldn't happen in this industry. Also, while I was very pleased with the service I received this time, and will come back for this experience, I still have to say the selection of Phat Panda and Royal Tree at Uncle Ike's represents a line of Top Shelf options that Ponder just doesn't answer on. read more

My friends and I love this place! We schedule special trips from Magnolia up to the CD to visit & stock up. Great selection in an intimate setting with friendly, helpful associates who ace recommendations based on whatever your needs may be that day. One of my My favorites was a migraine rescue package the owner put together for me to try CBDs for the first time. Sweet relief provided by A CBD healing stick for the neck & temples, CBD deep tissue and joint gel from Fairwinds, a CBD vape oil in For bedtime and another CBD tincture for the morning that was a delicious tincture designed to give you a little pep! Once I've got my final selection I always appreciate the selection $1.00 pre-roll doobies in the bins behind the register! Great experience every time. read more

Service is nice, product selection was okay. They were out of a few items that I was interested in and a topical that was advertised for a lower price rang up at full price but no way of reconciling that at point of sale. Overall nice shop, I'm just curious why I was charged 47.1% Tax? It seems higher than other places and I thought the tax rate was 37%. read more

Very friendly staff with reasonable prices. Much calmer and nice experience than the long line and rushed sense you get at Ike's across the street. Also they do a 15% off during happy hour from 12-4:20 each day. I stocked up! read more

Much much much better than ANY weed store in Seattle. BEST customer service--BY FAR. DO NOT go to Uncle Ikes--they are terrible at customer service. read more

A relaxed atmosphere, knowledgeable staff, incredible selection, decent prices. Also love that the contemporary decor blends in with the neighborhood and doesn't scream POT SHOP. Nicely done all around. read more

I used to think this shop was cool and all the staff really helpful and friendly, that was until my latest visit I was told don't have my regular brand so was offer alternatives which is quite normal... However the shite that they sold me was of really poor quality and was also out of date of best before. PEOPLE BE CARE PONDER SELLS OUT OF DATE POT- and it was not even discounted :( You have lost a customer using that tactic... read more

Love Ponder! Totally cool laid back atmosphere. Ask for Mari, she's an awesome budtender and knowledgeable on the medical. They have a great selection of flower and yummy treats. Go for happy hour it's oh so happy!! JD read more

Stopped here today while in town. Fantastic customer service and dope selection. Walked out happy. Highly recommend!

I came in today because ikes was closed. Was greeted kindly. But I realized after I left I was given change for 40 instead of 100. I was then greeted with suspicion and asked why I didn't check before I left. Probably will never come back read more
