The web-menu includes a Hi-Res photo per strain.

When convenience is your game – especially if you’re located within San Francisco city limits – The Green Cross is your best option. Specializing in Medical Cannabis Delivery, The Green Cross offers a wide variety of cannabis flowers, along with a hefty selection of edibles, concentrates and Green Cross memorabilia, ready to show up at your door.

If you’re interested in joining the Green Cross, send them an email (staff@thegreencross.org) that includes your recommendation, and your California Driver’s License. Once that’s complete – visit their website (www.thegreencross.org) and feast your eyes on the virtual menu, offering pictures and descriptions of each item in their inventory. Now that you’ve made a decision, call them at (415) 648- 4420, check that they’ve recieved the necessary documentation, and then place your order.

Eighths (3.75 grams) are $40 dollars, quarters (7.25 grams) are $80, half-ounces (14.5 grams) are $160, and full ounces go for a cool $300 (with all prices including tax). The Green Cross also offers Mix-A-Lot bags, which are down-priced bags of smaller nuggets, weighing either a half (for $130) or full ounce (for $250). Other savings come in the form of overstock specials, which mark random strains down a couple notches; it’s best to check their website every week to get the scoop on the Overstock items since they do periodically change.

First bumper is free, each sticker after that is a buck.

After you’ve placed the order, you have to decide how you’re getting the medication. If you’re within San Francisco city limits, give them a delivery address; if you aren’t in city limits, arrange for a place to meet their driver (one of their favorite places is at the intersection of 11th and Harrison) alongside a U-Haul parking lot. Tell the phone representative the make and color of your car, and make sure you decide on an accurate meeting time, or just call them when you arrive.

The Green Cross is a friendly, convenient option for any Bay Area Cannabis Patient. They are quite hospitable to new patients (oftentimes offering gifts like lighters, jars, free edibles and knick-knacks) and are one of the only dispensaries to inform customers of their inventory before you place an order.

An exceptional breed of cannabis clubs have a sophisticated air to them, as if – rather than entering into a legal drug dealership – you find yourself stepping into a connoisseur’s cafe. Medithrive is a magnificent operation, and I must say that it is one of the most impressive establishments that the city by the bay has to offer.

Your ID and recommendation are required for admittance.

Medithrive is located at 1933 Mission in an inconspicuous building fitted with frosted glass windows, which blend seamlessly with a not-so-obvious doorway. Stepping inside, an individual sitting at a desk on the left-hand side of the lobby, and another fellow seated on the left on a bench, who will inquire about membership. Handing him your driver’s license and recommendation, he’ll ask you if it’s your first time; If not, then your next stop is the desk. There you’ll sign the rules of the collective, hand the employee behind the desk your I.D. and recommendation, and wait to receive your member number (which comes on a little round sticker). Once that’s done, you’re free to enter the back room.

The glossy wooden floor leads down a shallow ramp, where a large elegant wall offers decorative lime-green moss grows in vertical slats. Across the room hangs a large flat-screen television, where all the products are listed for convenience sake. Each strain is displayed in a glass jar, where they are all available for examination. Two counters offer an identical selection, each composed of about a dozen different varieties (including both sativas and indicas).

MediThrive strives to be safe, clean, and sophisticated.

Their gorgeous spread is priced at 60 dollars an eighth, while grams cost anywhere from 14 – 20 dollars each. But, don’t go thinking that Medithrive is overpriced, since each 8th isn’t a normal eighth – but a Medithrive 8th. In other words, at Medithrive, the standard 8th weighs a whopping FOUR GRAMS! This is a huge plus for those looking to get more bang for their buck. Aside from the cannabis, they do also offer: a wide specturm of edibles (by Auntie Dolores and Incredible Edibles), and a list of concentrates that includes full melts, bubble hash and oils.

Medithrive is also proud to offer their customers a variety of services, which will be available as they expand. These include: Chiropractic – spine and joint corrections; Naturopathy – natural medicine primary care physician; Yoga – Iyengar and restorative; Massages, Grow Classes, Traditional Chinese Medicine – incorporating Herbalism and Acupunture; and finally, Western Herbalist Consultations.

Don;t forget to pet the moss before you leave!

Medithrive is open for business from 11am until 9pm. Their entire menu is available at their website:www.Medithrive.com. They accept credit card, and remember that new patients are rewarded for their curiosity by a choice edible, or a medicinal joint – ABSOLUTELY FREE!

This is one Cannabis Club that you have got to try out; however, be warned, that once you’ve spoiled yourself with Medithrive’s excellence, you might find it hard to buy your medications anywhere else.
