Here are a few reviews of dispensaries in the East Bay area, across from San Francisco, the city that started medical marijuana sales.
 Jumbo size clones ? You can get some well-established starts at SR-71 to either vegetate for larger plants or take directly to flower. Oaksterdam News photo by Jaime Galindo.

I think of SR-71 as the old stand-by... they have good hours (7 days a week) and move the line (when there is one) quickly. The selection’s not the greatest — only ever six - eight strains and only one - two of them are high grade; but they are consistently good. The price is always reasonable, however ($50 at MOST) and they’re cool folks.
This is the club I actually visit the most, just for the convenience, the consistency, the vibe and the chai. The staff here is friendly and courteous and the coffee, etc. out front is great (espresso, chai, smoothies, etc.). They have jumbo-size clones of Purple Kush, Hindu Kush x Skunk, and Odyssey for only $8 each.

One of the oldest clubs in the East Bay. Gotta love the volcanoes, drinks and snacks, which can be enjoyed in a spacious room with lots of tables. I liked the unhurried experience there and talking with other patients.
This place is so popular that the best varieties get picked off early. Keep an eye out for their Jupiter and Blueberry. They have a variety of clones available, too.
The group is politically plugged in and big sponsors of Americans for Safe Access and they host political education events for patients.

Oakland’s newest cannabis outlet. The people are genuine and nice. I have nothing but praise for these guys’ experience, and knowledge.
Large facility with extras such as holistic medicine and massage therapy. Cool ambiance with a Hindu theme. The place has a warm comfortable atmosphere, as well as freeway access.
They are committed to keeping the highest quality clones available. They also have a great selection of medicine and concentrates.
