I am really hoping Medmen reopens. Ever since they hired Imani Lucas as the Manager I have been purchasing from Medmen exclusively. Imani brings great leadership to this facility as his team of employees were so proactively helpful upon arrival. Imani and his team have built strong relationships with myself and several of my friends who were customers. As a leader myself, Imani has all the qualities of a great Manager. His Employees work hard and I would always notice how respectful they are towards him and I. There is a strong positive vibe at Medmen San Jose and it is reflective in the culture and high standards Imani and his team have created. It is a shame that Medmen closed down as I was noticing great improvements ever since Imani was hired. If Medmen reopens I strongly hope Imani becomes Manager once again. Thank you Imani for all you that do!!! read more

I really liked this MedMen in San Jose and i'm really bummed they closed. There was a manager there, Imani, that my husband and I had gotten to know over the last couple years or so. He was a great Budtender! He got to know what product I liked and kept track of that to the point that all I had to tell him was how much I wanted to spend, and he would put together a bag of goodies that nobody could resist! I sure hope I find him again! Sorry you're gone, MedMen! read more

Go to purple lotus! Management is super unprofessional especially if you are a woman. Practically eye you down, most uncomfortable experience of my life. read more

Hella expensive, and the girl helping me was rushing me out of there like the place was on fire. Honestly it kind of stressed me out, and I will not be returning Not my cup of tea. read more

so, this is the first dispensary i've ever been to, and came here with my brother who is in momentary retirement and thus living his best life and wanted some pharmaceutical help to do so. having never been to a dispensary before, I didn't really know what to expect, but whatever i was expecting, medmen surpassed those expectations. this is basically the apple store of marijuana. very clean, modern, spacious layout with a helpful and professional staff. for anybody who needs a B&M dispensary, i would definitely recommend medmen. read more

I am happy to find a place super close by! I ordered online to pickup curbside, This service can take up to 2 hours, according to their website. My order was ready in 15 minutes at most! If you order curbside, MedMen asks you to call when you arrive. I was greeted by an absolutely delightful young lady named Destiny. She was sweet and bubbly, all the while taking care of business! She gave me a suggestion for pain, smiled through her mask the entire transaction, was polite AND professional, and I was out of there in 10 minutes. I wish I would have given her a tip, I have never purchased curbside, and didn't think much about it. I'm really glad I purchased from MedMen, and will continue to do so. Plus the name MedMen is FABULOUS!! read more

Finally with Recreational cannabis, there really is no reason to go anywhere but Buddys! This is the only licensed location ai know of that eats some of the taxes to make it a little easier on your pocket book. Excellent staff and management, and they all love the product they are selling. read more

Blake was helpful, kind, & informative. Put us in a great mood. Great selection, Decent prices, and clean environment.

would like to send a commendation to Medmen in regard to Marissa A at the San Jose site. She has proven to be star employee as far as her Managerial customer service skills. She is cordial, polite, very efficient and professional in her follow through, and follow up in completing the Medmen related task. She reps with expert business acumen. At the conclusion of my bizniz with MMen, I felt valued as a patron thx 2 Marissa read more

Been to a bunch of dispensaries throughout the years. Most have been a pleasant experience. But this one was by far the most! I always pay attention to how patient the employees are, especially with the ton of questions I tend to have about trying different products. Jayden was extremely patient and super knowledgeable about all the products. He explained into detail what specific products and strains should do and what I can expect. And he was absolutely correct! Thank you again Jayden and I'll be back in the near future. read more

So a shaky guy shows up and first thing takes a PICTURE of my ID... Not a scan, but an actual photograph after he scanned it, and after I submitted an actual photograph online placing the order. First BS "policy" Next he goes to take me payment and "Can't " in a whiny voice take my credit card or bank card because there's no slide reader functioning on his device. Driver was clearly lit. I Literally had to just refuse the order all together and shaky guy left without any explanation for photographing my id and no reason or way to correct the situation. Wow... where's your clear and legal company/business communication MedMen? Where's your smoothly functioning professional website? Where are your knowledgeable intelligent driver delivery people? This is the first time I was giving this dispensary a chance and will never ever make that mistake again. to anyone thinking about it just don't. read more

I'm going to miss this place!! Imani always helped us out whenever we came in for our monthly supply. I haven't trusted my business with anyone else. I'm really going to miss this place!! I give this place 5 stars based on our interactions with Imani!!!! read more

Such a strange experience! 1st star for safety?! - two security guards at the door to protect us?! Nope, to protect the product. 2nd star for presentation- who knew buying "herbs" would be so fancy? It felt like I was in a jewelry shop: employees in uniforms with ear pieces, product under glass, a representative to help explain the quality of each product. 3rd star for friendliness, yep, it was like buying herbs from a 5star restaurant. "May I recommend to start with this? What are you looking for today? What purpose would you like it for? 4th star for convenience, large parking lot and easy to get to. 5th star for not making me feel like a basic tired mom! Haha... thanks guys! read more

They're wearing masks, they're polite. They have a good selection of everything. Their pricing and taxing sucks, for example, you buy something marked down or on sale. You pay all taxes (excise/local/sales) on the original pre-sale or full retail price. That is a big deal breaker. Other than that, they have plenty of newer products that aren't marked down for the end of the year sale. Budtender was informative, friendly and helpful despite company policy regarding the taxes and pricing. read more

Started visiting this place in the past few months for the first time in years. It has absolutely improved and has better selection than other local dispensaries. The budtenders are super knowledgeable and helpful. Zack and Rica were awesome in recommending topical patches for inflammation and pain, even throwing in a discount promo. Definitely coming back again! read more

I traveled an hour to shop with this company since I am a loyal customer, but I was unsympathetically turned away during hours of operation. The management was not understanding to my needs after calling them directly. Not customer friendly. Not motivated to create loyal customers. I went to Purple Lotus and they welcomed me with open arms. I will never return to any MedMen location ever, under any circumstances. MedMen has lost a lifetime customer. read more

The flower browsing methods are terrible, the prices on the screens are not easy to use. The whole environment of this place is mundane. Also they don't even have specials or first time client promos. I walked in and left without buying anything I wont be coming back. Worst dispensary ever. read more

Small inventory. And what they have was okay at best. Do not use your card. For some strange reason, they have to charge in tens(Cost: $23 Card $$30) but give you the diff in cash back. There is also a $4 charge for having used a card. read more

Caught the manager (man with colored eyes) staring at my butt, didn't even bother to look me in the face, gave me the creeps!

This was the first time I had a delivery and it was noth short of absolutely fantastic. I placed my order online, they called me to confirm and were sooo nice. Then, in less than an hour I got my order. The delivery associate, Angel, was super nice, very patient, professional and extreamly personable. I am not a person who writes reviews unless I am extreamly impressed, and I really am. Thank you Angel...you Rock!!! read more

Went at 11am (technically 10:50ish) and told that the entire staff was on break and to come back in 20 minutes. They had only been open for less than two hours! read more

The review calling this store hostile has it right. [Edit, 10 min after posting: It's incredibly misleading to use Buddy's former reviews on this yelp page. The reviews before ~February 2019 are for Buddy's, not med men. Filter reviews by newest, and see what I mean.] Buddy's is dead. The product med men sells is over-priced and not nearly as nice as what Buddy's sold. The layout looks nice, but it is incredibly cramped, cold, and unfriendly. The products are over priced, lower quality. Big bummer. Staff can be a little hostile, and the former buddy's employees will try their best to help you, but have to follow new rules that aren't at all customer-friendly. You can feel it as the employees try to sell/recommend products that they don't really believe in, bad sign. I recommend delivery services or literally any other club than this unfeeling bougie apple weed store. Buddy's was a gem, such a welcoming atmosphere. Also, don't ever buy a dosist pen. They stop working before you even use 50% of the product, and aren't returnable. Plus, the "dosing" thing is completely false advertising, as useful as it would be. Can't recommend this place. Don't go here. It's not buddy's any more. Find alternatives, like Harborside down the street. read more

This place is capitalizing on the goodwill of Buddy's and they do NOT deserve it. They've even had the gall to buy a giant billboard above the store that says Buddy's is NOW MedMen, but it isn't. Buddy's is gone. It isn't coming back. And it's been replaced with the most sterile, overpriced, hostile, little fish tank of a dispensary I have ever been to. Buddy's baked some of the taxes into the listed prices for products. MedMen charged me $29 for two pre-rolls that they said were 1g each when they were only 0.7g. (I caught this before paying and the cashier just said "Oh. Well, they're really good." - as if I'm going to believe that garbage after he got the size wrong. Buddy's offered great deals and knowledgeable salespeople that were friendly and trustworthy. MedMen employs a bunch of kids that would be impossible to differentiate from a Target employee (lanyards, red polos, and khakis), except that they are less friendly and less knowledgeable. Buddy's took credit cards. MedMen does not and they blame everyone else for why they "can't." Everything at MedMen is "we can't." Well how the hell does every other dispensary do it then? This place makes every other experience I've had with the other corporate, over-tech'd dispensaries in the South Bay look like a super fun weekend with Willie, Snoop, and the Dude. It's the worst. I keep saying they're hostile and here's why. I made a trip in to Buddy's and bought a cartridge just before a 10 day roadtrip with my fiancee. The friendly sales guy let me know they were a new product so if I had any issues with it I should just bring it back and they'd replace it. It didn't really even stick with me until a few days later when I went to use it and I immediately had issues with it. It took a ton of hard pulling to get it to hit at all. I was on the road trip with my fiancee at that point, and we didn't have anything else, so we continued to use it, but we had to pull so hard to get it to activate that we were getting dizzy from the effort. End of the road trip and we'd used maybe 10% of the oil so I went to exchange it. I pull up to Buddy's to see it's been replaced. I don't think much of it. I walk in and immediately get an offer for help from a young guy in a hat. I explain the situation and he just sort of sits there and gawks at me. Clearly no idea what to do. I get kind of nervous/want to try and double down on my story, so I go to hit the cartridge to show that it won't hit, but LO AND BEHOLD, it's been sitting in the hot car for a while and it's warmed up enough that it hits just a TINY bit, right off the bat. I don't inhale, but a small wisp of vapor does leave my mouth into the air. Now I know I've screwed up. I know that. But I thought it was a 0% chance that it would hit and it was an honest mistake. I apologize profusely. The sales guy FREAKS out. Tells me I can't do that. I say "I know, sorry man, I really didn't mean to." He says "no, it's a REALLY big deal." I say okay and ask what I can do. We talk it out for a minute and he finally says it's fine but that he just needs to go ask his boss about what to do about my replacement cartridge. He's gone for ~5 minutes and then comes back and doesn't have an answer for me? He just sort of stutters about what had happened. Finally, another store employee is enough of a homie to tell me to walk away BECAUSE THEY HAVE CALLED THE COPS ON ME AND ARE TRYING TO STALL ME UNTIL THE COPS COME. Now I know there are two sides to every story, and you might be wondering if I'm full of crap. But I had the fiancee with me. We've been together for 10+ years and she has little tolerance for my BS. I'm more scared of her reaction than I am of anything else, but she's fully on my team: confirms that the awful sales associate was awkward and useless as hell. We're both shaking by the time we leave. I understand following the laws. And I even understand if they have a legal obligation to call the cops. But their handling of ALL of it was absolutely atrocious. Thank you to the guy who warned me that they were going to try and get me arrested. Everything else about this place is garbage. read more

So unfort I didn't have the best experience with this girl Mariko. I came in to see what I can buy for this guy that I'm dating and since I don't personally smoke or partake in edibles I feel like she was very rude to me. You would think ppl that work with weed are hella chill but she wasn't. She also didn't seem COVID conscious so that made me feel very unsettled and I'm now wondering what precautions this business is taking as a whole to ensure the safety of all their customers. Do better. read more

Horrible delivery Svc. There atm service was down so the delivery guy had to go back and get another machine. The delivery manager and store manager would not Let anyone else come back With another machine. And told me they done take credit union debit cards with the visa logo that everywhere and everyone takes. Will not be using them or recommending them. read more

I am so incredibly disappointed in MedMen. I miss buddy's. It used to be relaxing and enjoyable to be there but this place is super corporate and out of touch with the cannabis culture. They are falsely advertising their hours. They started closing at 5 pm on Sunday (which is way earlier than it used to be) but their security team closes the parking lot 15 minutes before the actual business closes! They won't let you go in if the parking lot is closed. I even caught the security guards as they were closing the door. I told them that I just spoke with somebody inside and they had what I needed at the front desk. They refused to let me walk in to an open business! He could've been flexible and said no problem, but he decided he was going to be rude and say no to somebody who is being completely reasonable, right in front of the business, literally with money in hand. They just flat out refused to help me. I then had to drive across town to a different club to get my Cannabis for my migraine. While at the other club (which was packed full of your customers... because you were closed at 4:45 pm) we were all waiting our turn to go in, several people shared their own stories about their recent experiences at MedMen. Issues included: About club hours and parking lot closures (me). You no longer except cards? The new store looks like an Apple store. Don't like the corporate vibe That the staff is "encouraged" to up-sell and have a minimum dollars/ units per transaction "standard"? And a woman was sad because you got rid of the service animals that made going there so relaxing. I'm not 100% sure if all of what they said was accurate but I do hope you use this feedback from our Impromptu focus group to make some adjustments. Myself and two other customers added up how much on average we spent biweekly at MedMen and with just myself and those two other customers, it's over $4500 a year that you're losing. All from alienating your customer base. The public is observing and have formed opinions about Med Men. I know he didn't know this but I had a horrible migraine and driving that far with a migraine is scary. If somebody has a migraine and/or any ailment and you tell them that they can't purchase their medicine... Even though they came before the pharmacy closed...You're guaranteeing a negative experience. I'm really bummed that I had to say such negative things and honestly I'm embarrassed to go back (because the way I peeled out when they refused to let me in) but you can't treat people like their nothing and expect not to hear about it. To Yelp: Since Med Men is no longer the same business, they've changed everything including the location and the name, shouldn't they be re-listed? all the stars and positive reviews on this page were earned by buddy's, which is now closed. read more

I used to come here to buddies 3-4 times a month and pack all sort of things from chocolate , meta milk, oil etc. Now it s med men and that is a NoNoNo. Expensive, high tech , and they only take cash or debit. Not a good at all and will never come back here . read more

MedMen - San Jose - Used to be buddy's but Medmen not good at all - Cannabis Clinics Near Me - San Jose, California

Not as friendly as Buddy's. Cashier had no personality. The no credit cards policy is whacked. Seems so corporate Will I go back? Undecided Got what I needed read more

Best dispensary experience I've ever had thanks to Mikey and Katie. I just got out the store and had to write this review because the experience I just had at this shop was TOP NOTCH. I came in because I googled "Best edibles near me" and lo and behold the #1 result was MedMen. I came in and everyone was so welcoming, like I was home. I had the pleasure of having Mikey and Katie assist me with my purchase. They gave me a tour of the store and gave me great info on all the varieties of flower, cartridges, and especially edibles they had. I bought some weed infused corn nuts amongst other edibles but what really surprised me was the miscellaneous weed infused items they have. They got tea packets, lotion, virgin cooking oil, suppositories (Mikey you told me you'd try on if I left a review lol), bath bombs, hella thangs! I'm definitely coming back here. If you're looking for a dope spot with dope people I definitely recommend. MedMen, the Apple store of weed read more

This place isn't bad, but I much preferred it when it was Buddy's. Buddy's was friendly and open. This is more like a doctor's office. Although you can browse more than you were able to at Buddy's since you had to wait for a person to take you back there. MadMen doesn't seem to be as friendly when you walk in. Now I'm not saying the staff isn't friendly, because they are, but the environment just doesn't feel as friendly. They only accept cash or debit, no credit cards like you were able to at Buddy's. read more

They no longer accept credit cards: Buddy's is my favorite dispensary. It is comfortable, safe, and the staff are knowledgeable and friendly. They have seating so you can sit and wait untill your turn is up instead of standing in a long line like the competitors. The prices are average and the variety of products are impressive. I would love to give this place a 5 star review but they no longer take credit cards, only debit and cash. I had to leave empty handed so now I'm sober and grumpy. I will continue to shop here and change my review once they fix this credit issue. read more

Don't come here. It sucks. The staff sucks and they barely help you. All they do is talk to each other about how stoned they are or what food they are gonna order because they have the munchies. Take the extra few steps and head to Harborside that's a few doors down. They take care of their clientele. read more

Gone in a few weeks ago and my bud tender, Sabrina, she was very knowledgeable about the products there and was able to give me some of the best service I've had at a dispensary in a long time, if I were to suggest any dispensary I'd recommend MedMen! Great people, great vibes, and great products. I picked up this bud called,"Night Sky" by Golden State and it was !!! Give this place a visit and it will not disappoint. If your looking for great quality and great service from a dispensary then MedMen is your destination! read more

This place is great! Have been coming here since it Buddy's. Staff is awesome and really know their product being sold there. Very good selection of pretty much anything you need. Recently I had bought 2, 1 gram cartridges and both of then clogged up really bad and the oil was coming out. I sent Medmen an email saying what happened, they said come on by and I can exchange for free. That's awsome! Thumbs up to the whole staff! read more

Great place to buy buds Mikey helped me out. Awesome place good selection. Clean facility. Knowledgeable. read more

Med men San Jose Is very overpriced on their marijuana. It's not good quality at all for the price I would not recommend going to this place, there's many other places in San Jose that give better discounts and also have better quality marijuana. Try at your own risk. read more

Had a great interaction with Leyana I believe her name was (?) she opened this morning and had a driver badge but she helped me with curbside! Super sweet and very politely denied my cash tip and in exchange for a review. As much as I believe cannabis workers deserve their cash tips, she was sweet and deserves the shout out! read more

I have always had the best experience at this dispo. tonight my boyfriend and I had the pleasure of meeting Zach and he was extremely kind and helped us both find something to fit our exact needs. This is and will always be my favorite dispo!! thank you medmen! read more

Terrible service. Not friendly to out of towners. Avoid employee named Imani if you don't plan to buy the first thing she throws at you. And don't do that because they don't bring out anything that's on special unless they feel your good enough lol read more

Great experience! Incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, competitively priced, superb variety, cool art (for sale) and great parking (major +)! New patience get a very generous promotion for joining them. I really enjoyed this place... Good vibes read more
