1. Very informative and patient. Great bud and decent prices

2. Just went in for the first time and was a complete spaz. My condition makes it difficult to function public due to sensory issues and extreme anxiety. But despite my awkward fumbling the staff were wonderfully pleasant and inviting and helped put me more at ease. I will definitely be coming back.

3. Honestly the best place I’ve been too! Thank you guys for doing what you are, can’t wait to be back in!!

4. Dave, helped me and was wonderful in explaining the CBD isolate.
   Best Customer Service Ever

5. Quality meds and excellent service

6. Budtenders are knowledgeable and nice even nicer bud gmo is gas

7. I love the Meds, the people and the location of this dispensary. Knowledge and information is readily available, and the entire staff is always pleased to help you make good selections for your ailments, hobbies and tastes. Would love to volunteer to help renovate / decorate the lobby. Lmk if you’re interested! I can design on a dime… bag. dY~++dY~Z

8. Great service, good vibes, just all around friendly. Closest spot for me to get meds.

9. The people are solid professionals. The medicine is awesome. I would recommend this dispensary to any valid card holder.

10. Can you guys please get some Fruity Pebbles in there. Pplllllllllleeeeeaaaaassssseeeee.. thanks! Extremely wonderful excellent service, staff, and pricing. I probably should’ve start out by saying that. Lol. Fruity Pebbles please.

11. I will NEVER go back! Not only were the tenders rude and seemed preoccupied, everything they sell is super overpriced. Yeah they test it so do a lot of the shops in Lansing. The shops in Lansing are well worth the drive!

12. Great Place! Bud-Tenders are always really nice and helpful! I love the reward system and that you can pre-order ahead to save on wait time.

13. Lake Effect always has amazing medicine and more importantly Lake Effect has amazing staff who truly love what they do Johnny M Johnny are Rebecca Luna mate Jeff and the others who I am missing great job guys you’re awesome

14. Excellent service excellent staff excellent meds!

15. I have a very pleasant experience at Lake Effect in Portage and Kalamazoo I was greeted with friendly service and as I am handicapped it was very easy for me to access and my budtender was very helpful when it came to saving money and getting the best deals thank you

16. Lake Effect is a top notch establishment, Always has a fresh, fantastic and diverse selection and a superb staff. The michigan medical cannabis industry has a bright future with dispensaries this good. Highly recommended.

17. I’m excited to try the suckersdY~S

18. Amazing staff! They have a great selection of products and cool rewards programs. You won’t be disappointed.

19. Joe help me out and he was very knowledgeable about their product.

20. Friendly staff with an amazing selection.

21. Super impressed with the bud tender we had! Rebecca was awesome. Very knowledgeable , accommodating, and funny. Will return not only because of the fantastic customer service but I was also happy with every product I bought.

22. Thank you to Dave for such an amazing visit!

23. Way too over priced compared to the rest of the state

24. First dispensary in portage! They just opened up in December of 2015. The staff was very friendly, the place was very clean and organized. I learned a lot. Their medicine ranges from $10 a gram to $20. They had more selection in the higher priced ones. Not the biggest selection, but I was happy with the meds I left with. They don’t have a sign up yet, so they’re kind of tricky to find. On Google maps, it says they’re “ruff cuts grooming” because that’s the business that was there before.

    Great place. would recommend it.

25. Happy to see you’re open! Sorry we missed the Grand Opening. Like the new setup!!! Great seeing those familiar faces, and our wonderful friend Jessica at the desk. We missed you guys. The Grand Daddy Purple went fast! Need to get more in soon! So we went with the Dark Plasma. Very nice for the price.

26. The people here are amazing and love interacting with everyone and always pleased when I leave

27. I was super impressed. Very friendly, patient and informative staff.

28. Quality, organized service. John B was my customer service agent and he did a good job of making me feel welcomed and informed.

29. Super friendly & good location.

30. Went to Lake Effect for the first time. What a great place, friendly atmosphere, and a clever name! I was helped by Johnny M and he was awesome. He was very knowledgeable and did a great job explaining the products and strains. I definitely found my new spot. Thanks Lake Effect!

31. I love the 35$ eighths and the points program they do. They always have good flowers and they give me free grams for sending in friends. Pretty cool place.

32. What I liked about my visit was the service was great and my choices of product were of good variety. Overall it was a wonderful experience.

33. First time I went here it was incredible. Friendliest staff I’ve ever encountered. The staff all went out of their way to make sure they were saying my name right since it is a unique and different name. I wish to learn all their names by the end of the year! The selections in cannabis here are top notch and they are always hosting deals! I highly recommend this place to all!

34. Great staff

35. Of course wish it was closer to Battle Creek, but don’t mind the drive for what I know I’m getting!

36. Always great friendly and never let down.

37. Been a customer for a few and always love the staff and quality of medicine.

38. awesome folks

39. Only bad thing I can say is they are a bit pricey. Other then that great place

40. I think that it’s a long way away, however worth the drive. Everyone was great on the phone (David) and sorry can’t remember the girl’s name for detailed directions and Joe? Happy atmosphere but parking sucks. Great service and Products! I will be back!

41. Mark greeted me with a smile and always knows exactly the product i would like, or what i can benefit best from. Always greeted on a first name basis upon reaching the establishment. Impressive work guys.

42. Lake Effect is an awesome place with awesome employees. Joe helped me out he last time that I was in, and he is one of the kindest guys they have working. I always look forward to working with Joe.

43. Great experience all the way around!

44. Great place friendly and knowledgeable staff! Love the educational aspect too. Only drawback is the menu options get slim quick, but understandable given the few dispensaries in the area.

45. I live 5 mins away and love this place. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I understand the scrutiny the meds go through before they shelf them, but it is still not so affordable for patients that are on a budget. I would love to see some recycle programs for old med containers and such. all in all if you have the money it’s the best dispensary in Michigan.

46. They have the best bud in the world and they show you with a world cup on display in holograms how can you not love that?!

47. After waiting nearly 4 years, we finally have a dispensary in the Kalamazoo/Portage area… and it’s wonderful! In fact, I would say Lake Effect is the preeminent medical dispensary in the whole of Southwest Michigan. While they limit their stock to bud, the wide variety of strains is unparalleled for the region (and they have a nifty iPad you can order from if that’s up your alley). All of the products are thoroughly tested and described on placards in great detail (THC content, cannabinoids, effects, etc.). The staff is friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and display genuine enthusiasm in their work. The best thing, however, is their prices… With grams ranging from $9-$20, they remain competitive on a statewide level in terms of price (i.e., no regional markups). I am delighted with this dispensary and hope they continue to operate unfettered by the City of Portage. They provide important, much needed care for patients in the area- who no longer have to drive over an hour away- and appear to be an upstanding member of the local business community.

48. My first visit was very informative! They give you information on all the different types of CBD or cannabinoids and what ones help with different conditions. The bud tender, John B was very helpful with my selection. I will definitely be back!

49. white lavender and blueberry pancakes was what I grabbed up in flower yesterday and both strains are fire. works well for me around the clock and also picked up a 100 mg gummie from sweetstone candies. Rasberry and I tell ya, Sweetstone is on point, have had them in the past and always consistent with there powerful punch of dosage. If you want quality tested meds along with a one stop shop, LAKE EFFECT is it. Their staff is honest and hardworking to provide the best in meds and experience. blessed to have them in our community. If I lived hours away I would still frequent LAKE EFFECT for medicine and THE SPOTT for all testing needs. Thank you again LAKE EFFECT AND STAFF!

50. I used leafly to find this dispensary on the way to concert.. They told me they are not taking new patients because of a bust in Kalamazoo. I would have appreciated them putting this on their website instead of me going all the way to portage and have to go in to find out. Seriously it’s 2016 and your handling business like medical marijuana was just legalized.

51. I like the selection and the people.

52. I like that they have a big menu on the wall in the lobby. Johnny M, and all the staff, are very knowledgeble and are considerate and actually take the time to help you. They are professional and really rock.

53. It was a great experience! The staff is very welcoming and I felt comfortable and informed about what I was buying. I worked with a guy named Dave and he was really helpful and nice! Can’t wait to go again.

54. Updates review: went back on 420 for the GG#4 deal and free pre-roll. But I also picked up some Gorilla Cookies and some Purple Kush and wanted to leave another review. These two strains are fire. Comparable to some of the strains I’ve had in Colorado, California, and Arizona. I definitely recommend trying these two out.

55. The staff at Lake Effect are friendly and knowledgable; the bud is top notch and they always have the latest concentrates! Pre-orders make it super quick and easy to run in after work.

56. My budtender was awesome and despite the crowded lobby I was in and out within 20 mins. Nice place with great quality product and their prerolls are amazing! Will be back!

57. Joey was my budtender on my last visit. Just like the rest of the staff, he was very friendly and knowledgeable. Even on a busy day, they keep everything moving and you never have to wait too long. If you know what you want before you get there, you can pre-order by calling, going online, or just write it down on a piece of paper when you get there. For me, it is worth the 45min drive. Great service!

58. I was impressed with the freindly energetic staff, they new their buisness and it showed It was an all around enjoyable visit

59. the only place to go….imo
    staff is super friendly and very helpful every time.

60. The service and quality has gone down hill to the point of not even testing their product. Do not shop here anymore!

61. They are the best ever!!

62. Nice Selection and Location. Johnny M was great when I wasn’t sure what I wanted to go with. Highly recommended.

63. Kind and knowledgeable staff and lots of great products. Couldn’t ask for more!

64. This is my first dispensary but I loved it. Great atmosphere people and most importantly great tree

65. this place is amazing

66. Was there today and is I was very impressed. Very clean and nice. Very nice people and medication. I am from Lansing and will now be going there bi weekly for my medicine

67. Really great service. Wonderful selection. Highly recommend!!

68. The medicine is amazing! Everything is lab tested and they are very honest and knowledgeable here. The office space needs some work and my first time trying to find it was rather difficult, but the flavors they have to choose from was great. Just wish they had green crack in stock. Will be back soon! Thanks guys.

69. Very positive location, my budtender John was a cool guy told me how he just recently learned how to use chopsticks and I couldn’t tell because he uses them better than me.

70. Walking into Lake Effect is like walking into Paradise. You are met with the best products, at the best price, provided to you by the most caring people. I recommend Lake Effect for all Medical Marijuana Patients!

71. A wee bit pricey but over all a great place

72. Very nice people great service and quality products and good prices with daily deals make this my go to place Hope to see more to come

73. Very high quality. I wish the prices for an ounce were much lower.

74. I have been a loyal customer of lake effect for several months now and I have to say I am really offended lately at their disloyalty and shady intentions on their customers. I have been weighing my orders myself for the past few times I’ve done preorders compared to when I’m in the room placing my order and the past 3x in a row I’ve done preorders with certain people at your establishment you intentionally rip me off. An 8th that’s stating it’s 3.53g turns out to be 3 grams even and mostly stems once I broke it all off how much I got left Only 2 grams??? Then you have the prerolls they’d be great if you rolled like you used to but these are only half joints every time there limp and I have to pack them correctly it ends up being half the size i started with. What happened to the great customer service and honesty that we started with? This isn’t why I drive an hour to your location every week and honestly I’m starting to rethink that, your prices and product aren’t that great when your ripping off your clients on the goods! The majority of your clients like me need the medication you sell and aren’t just looking to get high so for you to scam people out of medication simply to get higher profits coming in is just plain wrong. Very disappointed dY~”

75. Good people great place

76. First one in Mich. I fond the isn’t a total rip off in price. Most anyway. but to a real smoker you’re way out of the park with high prices. they all are taking advantage of patience that have nowhere else to go. Bad karma coming for this fact.

77. Awesome group of people that work at lake effect. It’s the only place that i go to get my medicine. Thank you guys. Rick R

78. Quality meds.

79. I love this place!!! Workers are awesome!!! Lots to choose from!!!

80. I have severe ptsd and anxiety these folks listen and are very nice. I always feel better after visiting. Thank you!

81. I absolutely LOVE this shop. Every time I walk in I’m welcomed by my first name and a smile. Everyone that works here is very knowledgeable about the product and seems to enjoy their job. I would recommend this despensory to anyone. They always have a range of med’s from the 9$/G to their top-shelf 20$/G “and the top-shelf is always amazing!”

82. Ever time I have been here great service always freandly bud tenders and front door check in with a smile and conversation why you wait for your meds.

83. Lake Effect is a diamond in the rough. The stafff are well versed in the medicinal aspects of all the sorted effects of the healing strains they supply.
    Excellent medicine locally produced. The Startonic and tincture they recommended will serve me well and help me with the chronic pain, anxiety, PTSD and nausea I experience. This is a truly medicinal place. If you are looking to recreate go to California on a holiday.
    Good luck Lake Effect.

84. Lots of choices and great prices!

85. I really liked how knowledgeable the staff was and how quickly they were able to get me exactly what I was looking for!

86. This has to be the best place within 100 miles. Bud is so fire. The girls that work there are hot too.

87. I’m from az and these ppl helped me out so much. I’m happy I can shop in Michigan! thx u

88. Great setup and atmosphere. Nate was a great budtender. Would recommend.

89. Great staff, very knowledgable and happy to answer questions. Great products, great range and selection, average prices. Had an issue with a cartridge and it was resolved very easily. Very friendly atmosphere! Would highly recommend.

90. Shining Armor is a great strand! I definitely recommend Indica lovers to try it.

91. Very professional. Friendly. Organized. Knowledgeable. Good variety.

92. Great service and knowledgeable.

93. Going there today to pick up some lovely kind buds! Hope they have BlueBerry Pancakes! Sigh….. I love you Lake Effect

94. Love the selection of meds, always have some good deals going

95. They CARE!

96. Enjoyed my first experience here. Workers are helpful and insightful, facility is clean and trusted

97. Great place

98. My consultant, Pieter Hostess, was extremely helpful and courteous. We both have arthritis so he had the knowledge and sympathy for the pain it brings with it. I’m a newer patient and have nothing but great things to say about the whole staff or experience! Thank you Lake Effect!!

99. Lake Effect is the premier site for our area because it is the only one. Flowers are priced at just above reasonable, but the quality is high. Concentrates are criminally upcharged. Edibles are reasonable. Novelties are ridiculous. They make a big deal about testing but it’s just potency hype for recreational users.

    The place isn’t really intended for medical clients. Anyone who really needs the medicine is getting ripped off.

    Just spend 15 dollars driving to Lansing and back to get the same quality for half the price on literally any product you can imagine.

100. The selection is the best in the area, the budtender was knowledgeable and helpful. The atmosphere is less rushed, they are in the groove now and are only going to get better.

101. great service!!

102. I love going to Lake Effect! The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. The quality of the product is excellent!

103. Always an amazing time there, it’s cool to see some new bud-tenders. I got served by Pieter, I have to say for being new he was so sweet and was a very good listener to what I was looking for. When I mentioned micro dosing he was very knowledgeable and we talked over things I’ve tried that he also recognized! Always a 10/10

104. awesome people and great flowers my consultant logan was the best.

105. Friendly knowledgeable staff, good one-on-one interaction, solid selection

106. I think I was liking before they sold me some swag, some of the flowers they have are terribly dry and they short me almost everytime I go in there. I’ve been several times and not once felt welcome when I went in there, they need cheaper selections for the quality they have.

107. The people here are great, easy to talk to and very helpful with any questions you may have to the best of there knowledge. very good quality bud and a decent variety to choose from. had like 20 different strains the day i went and i know they only been open for couple months now an I’m very very impressed.

108. Great bud and knowledgeable staff!

109. The prices are good the employees are friendly and they have good daily deals.

110. This was my first time here and will be back again. My budtender was Luna. She did a fantastic job helping me find exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend Lake Effect because the staff and quality of products are like no other.

111. only dispensary in Michigan that gets $20 a gram when you go to Lansing get the same stuff for 90 bucks an ounce play some big joke rip offu

112. Enjoyable! Staff is chill AF

113. Sometimes they get super busy. But for the most part, their meds and costumer service is spot on.

114. Super nice people, very knowledgeable. Great selection will be coming back a lot!

115. No on Tehition Treat it was mild for my taste.

116. I like that the meds are the best around and the staff are always friendly and very helpful. Would recommend this place for sure.

117. Great Place!! Bud tenders take their time with each individual patient. Excellent Staff!!

118. First time here and it was great!. Johny was knowledgeable and helpful!

119. Staff is super knowledgeable and always really listens to me when I explain what I’m looking for.

120. Wonderful place. Great service. Will go here all the time

121. Professional and polite in all aspects. Anyone can go here and feel comfortable. Great selection of quality, tested product.
     I chose the least expensive selection and am very pleased. I used to manage a dispensary. Visited at least a hundred in Michigan.
     The bud tender was very nice and informative. From the moment I called ahead, beyond purchase and walking out the door it was relaxing. Thank You.

122. Absolutely love this place and the staff amazing selection of bud

123. I loved the friendly staff. John Moran was my budtender. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Overall excellent experience.

124. Hey its ryan an if you know me the weed is amazing trust.the ppl im going to miss 6 weeks will go by fast..

125. Hope you stay closed! No more prices gouging patients!
     Bye bye!!

126. Great place for quality meds. Budtenders are friendly and in knowledgeable. All products tested

127. Quality products. Great selection. Excellent service. I’ve been there twice and I will keep going back.

128. Awesome selection, good pricing, and helpful friendly staff.

129. I really enjoyed the mix professionalism and friendliness. They budtenders are very knowledgeable about the products and effects. They lab test all their flowers for spidermites/mold etc. and that really impresses me. I will be back in the future for my medication needs.

130. Your hospitality goes unmatched. Traveled across the state and you guys were my only option and I felt like I had been coming here for years. I didn’t catch the lady’s name who welcomed me at the desk but she was amazing and Johnny and the back was like the friend I’ve always had. Keep up the excellent work

131. This isn’t my first time visiting Lake Effect, and it certainly won’t be my last. Every time I go, I always walk away with a smile on my face. The store atmosphere is chill and informative. The quality of medication is superb. And the employees try their best to remember you. All in all, a great location for all your needs. My consultant today was Mark, and it could not have gone smoother. Funny guy.

132. Being the only dispensary in the Kalamazoo area, I love it! Being able to get good quality bud with a friendly staff is awesome. The staff is super friendly and always welcoming. They strike up conversations with you and always remember you when you come in again.

     My only complaint is they never have pre-rolls consistently, only on some days, but there’s never a pattern to it.

133. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. I will return and recommend to others. I didn’t feel rushed or unwelcome at all.

134. Very helpful and friendly staff! I’ve been to my fair share of dispensaries and this one is for sure my favorite. Always suggest good strains and they’re sure to make you feel welcome when you come in. Super knowledgeable about all of their strains and any missing strains are easily replaced with something in shop.

135. Free birthday gram boom! This place rocks

136. Been going here for a couple of months now and they only get better and better! Love the fact that they have edibles and concentrates now. Not to mention the flower that they carry..extreme cream and blueberry pancakes are by far the best I’ve had some far but they have so many to choose from. Would highly
     recommend stopping in if you’ve never been in.

137. Very high quality product and service!

138. great place very informative n very nice staff

139. A little hard to find the first time I went but otherwise the staff and products are top notch.

140. I love the atmosphere and kindness. Everyone who works there is friendly and professional and knows what they are talking about. They always have what’s on the menu as well.

141. clean professional and great service

142. first time visit!! they were very friendly and there flower was pretty good!!! so happy there is one closer to home!!!

143. Perfect location very safe and frendly atmosphere I am very happy that I can get my meds safely

     Jennifer L.

145. I love coming there.

146. Knowledgeable people, great meds & good location.

147. my first time to a despensery great atmosphere and the best people and customer service I could imagine I will recommend it to every one I know

148. Parking is limited but everthing else was great. Freindly service and people working there are awesome. They make you feel ar home.

149. they have wonderful service and know how to make you feel like a friend. I would reccomed this location too anyone!

150. Clean, friendly and professional. My experience was calm and enjoyable and staff was very knowledgeable about products.

151. Visited this place for the first time and I can say it was a very pleasant expierence. All the staff was easy to talk to and helpful at every turn. The gentleman John B. who helped me was able to answer all my questions and recommend other things that I may like. Definently going back again.

152. last friday was my first visit to a dispensary, i chise Lake Effects, and I loved the atmosphere, the knowledge and professionalism as well as the staff being so friendly and personable. love my med and am going back today!

153. Great visit on 6-22 with great services thanks Jeff from lake effect

154. Joe was extremely helpful- explained a lot when we asked questions.

155. Wide variety, detailed lab info, super sticky buds, great customer service.

     Prices are fairly standard for top-shelf flower, topping out at $20/g; lots of economy options and specials, too.

     They take plastic, as well, which is convenient.

     Will return.

156. Had to drive a distance to go and drove past it at first but was so worth it! Great people and great medicine! Very professional!

157. I really like the staff, they’re really friendly, and knowledgeable for the most part. If they don’t know the answer they will connect you with someone who does. They offer a good product for a decent price, however the stock can be iffy sometimes. Their cones are good, but they’re really loose. They could use a little more herb, and be packed down a little better. Other than that it’s a great place, and I’ll be back for sure.

158. nice, place

159. five star everythang

160. I would recommend visiting this place if you are in the area. Prices aren’t bad and the staff is very friendly. They helped me out on my first time coming in and gave me the run down of everything they had. 10/10 would shop again.

161. well…they did it again! came home and was more happy then I thought I would be with my meds. Such a friendly and well spoken staff that has never disapointed this repeat client. Can’t wait to see what you guys have for me the next time! Lake effect has the best overall quailty in all they do.You only wish you could get anywhere else. Keep up the great work guys!

162. Happy Halloween!!

163. Stopped here for the first time last week and was very impressed! Great quality bud.

164. I like the fact that there is more than one person to wait on you and the selections were incredible. And the staff was vary knoligble and was great at helping me find what I was looking for.

165. Great place for a first timer!

166. Great selection awesome people! Johnny M was my budtender he was very helpful and patient as it was my first dispensery experience lots of smells to take in lol. The waiting room was a bit cramped and the menu tvs lacked info but the wait was fairly short and there were more menus in the bud room.

167. I love this place they are super friendly an nice best despencery around

168. I’ll be back

169. This place has it going on first place where iv been and got a 7 pre rolled(grapefruit diesel x brain wreck).

195. Very nice set up. Very easy to see what they have in stock and prices. They even take credit cards. Only dispensery I would go at this point. Very nice staff. They are friendly to new members. Great selection as well. Will be back.

196. Joe was very knowledgeable and helpful. He helped me choose what would be best for my disease. I highly recommend them!

197. I had a good experience! They have good medications for decent prices. I will be a returning customer!!

198. Keeps improving, good meds and friendly people 😉

199. What an awesome experience! Great service, friendly and knowledgeable staff and great product! Johnny M. was a blast as budtender and I highly recommend visiting Lake Effect (and Johnny M.) for your medicinal needs.

200. great friendly atmosphere great selection just an all around great place

201. This is the best place to get your meds, hands down. The staff is welcoming and friendly and will always steer you to what you need. Favorite place ever!!

202. Nice and friendly, knowledgeable consultants. An in case you were wondering yes dave is here man.

203. GOOD spot great place the pepole are amazing helpful all the way on point fasho yall…> GoGioG3000 out peace and luv

204. Great atmosphere friendly budtenders.

205. Good selection. Got some pre-rolls and they smoked pretty well. Rebecca is super helpful!

206. Had a great experience! Everyone is very friendly and makes you feel comfortable. I’m going back again and definately recommending my friend to this location. It’s bigger than where we usually go and about the same distance with a lot more choices.

207. First time in a dispensary the lady at the front desk and the guy behind the counter that was helping me find medicine was very helpful! I appreciated the fast service!

208. Incredible! Best meds ever. Staff could use some work. The inside of this little hideaway is so beautiful I will be back soon.

209. I got the extreme cream, sunshine4, banana breath, and strawberry headband. none of these flowers disappoint.
     Also grabbed a clear lemon cartridge. The cartridge is exactly what you’d expect but the batteries they sell are trash.

210. Great Location and Selection.

211. I live within a mile of this place and it is still way cheaper to travel to Lansing for my buds. Staff are all really nice but Lake effect is way too expensive. If they could compete with Lansing dispensaries on price I would love to give them my business but I live on social security disability and can’t afford black market prices.

212. I’ve been to this place a couple of times and each time I go the staff is very helpful and overall the vibe is great!!

213. Awesome place to have in the community. This was my first dispensary experience and I have been blown away! These guys are on it. Customer for life!

214. Love this place!

215. Excellent experience the people working here are friendly and polite and are always ready to help you find what you are looking for. Would highly recommend

216. Love the bud tenders. Everyone is so friendly and helpful when picking out strains and trying new products.

217. Helpful and polite staff. Good quality medicine just a little pricey. Would definitely recommend this place to a friend.

218. could use a bit more advrtisments on the outside and a little bigger room to view the medication the guy and (beginner) girl were very respectful and they were also talented and focused on what meds suit u best I’d highly recommend LAKE EFFECT dY’dY”a~o
     A little pricey but u get what u pay 4
     Definitely good quality!!!

219. very informative staff. very friendly environment and good clean products. love this place!!!!!!

220. great product, and very friendly and knowledgable staff.

221. It’s a good location

222. These guys are amazing and very knowledgeable. Best dispensary around!

223. Lake Effect does it again. Deadhead OG super cool. Honey sticks and suckers are awesome. Thx again guys and gals of Lake Effect.

224. What’s my first time to Lake Effect in Portage Michigan. Pleasant atmosphere very welcoming. Was impressed with Johnny M’s knowledge of the product. I was looking for Edibles and extracts very pleased.

225. excellent service and care. some of the best choices in the area. I highly recommend this place to everyone.

226. Everyone was friendly and my experience was great! Jeff was a great help and answered all of my questions and carried on a very informative conversation with me! I was very pleased with my first experience in Lake Effect!

227. Love this place, very nice atmosphere friendly people and Good Meds

228. A little bit crowded atmosphere at first but the front desk was very helpful and calming. Once inside, it was a very professional set-up with expert staff who knew the product well and answered all my questions precisely. Will be looking forward to returning.

229. Dammit you guys, I asked for Indica and you sent me home with a Hybrid.
     Could you please also turn the music down? It’s not a good environment for people with anxiety.

230. This place is amazing. One of my favorite shops! Cookie dough is a must have

231. Great place. Knowledgeable ppl working with great deals and what a great location

232. The edible factory 4 pcs are not as strong as they were, it was worth the deal.

233. Very amusing, I love how the place looks so incognito. And no matter how much time has passed in~between my visits, the staff always remembers me. And of course it goes without saying that their stock is Top O`Line!dYOEz

234. Very dissapointed in the Moxie cartridge, I went for The Clear, but they are always running out and it’s extra pricy there as well! Like this place but they need to keep more quantity in stock!

235. Rebecca and Jevin helped me out due to i had an egg allergy. they are very helpful

236. My last visit I was very satisfied and was helped and everyone I’m always informed of something new.and I’m so sad that the due date was forwarded to October so I have been calling that number that was given to me to keep our medicine.

237. I was impressed with the friendliness and helpfulness of the employees at Lake Effect. I will definitely be buying my meds here.

238. Love love this place! It’s a friendly atmosphere and comforting help.

239. very relaxed and people where chill even if I stumbled on my words..

240. Perfect location

241. Nice location, friendly atmosphere, knowledgeable staff and great tested BUD selection. Will visit again soon.

242. Medication is of average quality and priced at premium

243. Great people. A lot of good energy and they make you feel welcome. It is a little bit more expensive but the quality of their products are awesome.

244. Lake effect is super clean and convienent from where I live. They carry the best high end products

245. Looking for home of e meds. Lake Effects is king of them. You’ll love every bit of your experience and are sure to return.

246. Awesome atmosphere, great staff very knowledgeable and friendly. new patient process is quick and easy. quality meds, will stop in anytime im in the area again. A+

247. Best dispensary I’ve gone to so far. Everything’s lab tested to very high standards, and there is a free gram for first time patients! I recommend the pink polar bear cookie dough! dY>>

248. The last time that I was in the staff let me come back with my friend who is also a patient and they accommodate me both us in a very timely manner

249. Love this place and you will too.

250. I love lake effect. My boyfriend and I go there on a regular basis every time he has to come up to Battle Creek for his VA appointment service is so friendly , love the bud tenders ..sending my brother in law Thursday hope they take good care of him too….

251. cool shop, small for the area it cares for so sometimes they may not always have specific things in stock but I haven’t had any bad experiences there thus far, great perks too, should check em out if you haven’t yet

252. Quality service, first time visit made extremely easy by excellent staff and it was busy !!!!! Luna helped me out today , she was excellent, I will be returning !!

253. Awesome staff, Great service and Quality Meds . Will forsure be returning dY’dY>>

254. Excellent patient care from Rebecca! As always meds on point and a pleasant visit! Don’t be upset if they are busy, they are extremely efficient at this location! Great Customer Service!!!

255. Rebecca was great.a~o

256. Great place

257. Overall great place! Best in Kzoo!

258. I really have to do a 2nd review on this place. I had it all wrong after coming here on a bad day. After all policy is policy. Onto the flower, I picked out 3 strains all kosher. If you get a chance try Stankfinger you wont be disappointed.

259. Amazing, friendly staff. Immensely helpful to a new patient.

260. Always a pleasure visiting Lake Effect. Rebecca was a very helpful and kind bud tender. Loving my pre roll!

261. Staff is amazing, plenty of variety. Joe is always very helpful.

262. Everyone at Lake Effect is helpful and knowledgeable. John B. Helped me at my last visit and he was friendly. By far my favorite dispensary!

263. Love the location, staff, and medicine only been there once but plan on coming in again in the near future, most quality dispensary I have been to yet

264. Are you tired of spending your hard earned dollars on products that don’t work? Are you tired of being just a number? If you said YES to either of these questions then you must visit LAKE EFFECT! Here you are well taken care of, no matter what your need. These kind people are like family, even calling you by first name. I never have left with a frown. Thank you for all you help me with. #KnuckleBump

265. Really can’t say enough nice things about this place. The remodel looks great and I really appreciate the new price point for the buds on sale. All the staff is excellent but special shout out to Joe and Dave for the greeting today. Things like that keep me coming back.

266. This place makes you feel welcome and is always a warm inviting place

267. Great Place and the atmosphere is wonderful

268. We had our first trip to a dispensary. It had a nice atmosphere and although busy, had a reasonable wait time. Eric was our bud tender. He was very helpful and answered questions without judging or hurrying us. He seemed well informed and guided us towards different strains that might benefit our health issues. Overall we had a comfortable and successful visit and will go back to Lake Effects again.

269. been awhile sense I’ve last come by. Went by thursday before a event. Yet again very pleasant experience and very helpful in finding what I needed.

270. Joe was great and the flower was good

271. Can’t rave enough about this place. The Grape Stomper actually tastes like grape soda pop. You guys have some awesome flavors.

272. Lake Effect consistently has great selection, relaxing atmosphere, and top-notch service. It is about an hour drive from my location, but it is always worth the trip.

     #highlyrecommend

273. I was so happy to find Lake Effect! They have a great selection and everyone is so nice and helpful. All of the types of medicine & prices are clearly marked and they have a huge selection. Very professional establishment. Highly recommend.

274. Anytime I’ve ever came in the staff has always been super friendly and the flower has always been super effective! 10/10 recommend

283. Can someone tell us why they are still closed. The only quality place around to go to. Great, friendly people that knew their stuff.

284. Awesome bud tenders… awesome products.. I had some sherbet terp sauce. All I can say is wow amazing!

285. Friendly and knowledgable staff! Great selection.

286. #1 store you could ask for! Best in the business. Recommend extremely highly.

288. I absolutely love everything about lake effect except the parking lol but dont stop me from coming hope they open back up soon because compassionate care by design sucks just being blunt

289. Love them everyone’s so friendly

290. absolutely wonderful. they’re very helpful descriptive. good people too!

291. I stopped here not too long ago, I got Strawberry Banana Kush, absolutely amazing! My budtender saw that the bud was looser and gave me an extra nug, I didn’t even ask, definitely will be shopping here again!

292. I’m a caregiver and my patients are extremely pleased with their top shelf medicine. Thank you for being a responsible alternative to this area.

293. works for me

294. The budtenders were knowledgeable and helpful. The dispensary was clean and professional. It was a great experience for my first time to any dispensary. I will definitely be back.

295. Prices are insanely high compared to every other dispensary in the state and their bud is no better if you have the ability drive anywhere else unless you like spending more than you should have too.

296. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. I love this place!

297. Good people, prices, and selection.

298. Good. Strain not consistent on edible. Joe is my favorite team member.

299. bthought a premium pre roll the other day and it had me feeling good til bedtime

300. very professional atmosphere. Very helpful with current laws and where to research updates.

301. It’s a great calm, friendly place. The staff is knowledgeable. The variety is great. Highly recommend.

302. “My experience at Lake Effect was a complete pleasure in every way, Staff, meds and atmosphere were all A-1” Will recommend to any patient in need.

303. staff is very kind and helpful love calling ahead for orders

304. Great selection, nice friendly staff. Wide selection of products besides just bud. I’ll definitely be back

305. First visit here and very impressed! Very friendly and prompt service and had a rad budtender named Johnny M.!
     This cat knew the meds and was very helpful and a great dude, overall! Highly recommend this establishment…….and Johnny M.!

306. Love this place, the staff and product are equally awesome..

307. Such a great staff, everyone was friendly and very helpful

308. different verity an good flower the meddie eddie destress balls are fire the staff rocks the only thing I don’t like is the prices on concentrate toooo expensive

309. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff good strains avalible highly recommended

310. Thank you Lake Effect! Best bud tenders ever. Always kind and courteous very knowledgeable of all the products.

311. Very friendly staff. Large selection. The last time I was in Rebecca assisted me and was extremely helpful in choosing a strain.

312. Very impressed with the staffs knowledge of the strains and the effects they have. I guy exactly what I was looking for to help me stay energized.

313. this was my second dispensary and i wish it was my first. this place was welcoming and extremely friendly. i struggle with social anxiety and after only a few minutes in here, i felt relaxed enough like i was just talking a friend! my bud tender, jeff, said he was kinda new but sure didn’t seam like it. he was very knowledgeable and took his time with me. despite the drive from me to this place, i will for sure be coming back not just for the experience but also the quality of bud and wax that ranges in price from affordable to not but the quality seems to be in everything 🙂

314. Joe helped me my first visit, he was very informative about all the products!

315. I’ve been coming to lake effect for almost 2 years now. I’ve been to Detroit Lansing Ann arbor and hands down they have the best quality in the state. The price is fitting for the quality of medicine, quality of budtender, and quality of care for the patient experience. always clean and the budtenders make the wait worth it. I will remain a life long customer

316. What a great spot! First time visit and I was there less than 15 min, super friendly and had some really great edibles. Customer for life.

317. These guys were amazing, they listened to what my issues were and steered me in the right direction. Can’t wait to visit again, 🙂

318. I think this place is great, tbh.

319. Every time I’m there the staff are so friendly and welcoming. Very knowledgeable and hook me up with good product. Would highly recommend!!

320. great location,great staff, great products.

321. Very friendly and helpful staff. Luna did a great job helping me find what I was looking for. The building could use a bit of an update, but I’ll definitely be back.

322. Super friendly staff, very laid back, knowledgeable and helpful.

323. Lake Effect will always get my business as I travel South on 131. Great staff very informative and friendly.

324. The service was great and everyone was very nice and helpful. The variety of products was large and reasonably priced. If you’re in that area I’d recommend stopping by!

325. Very friendly staff!! Got us our paperwork we need to sign basically going through the process like any legit place would. It’s always nice when the workers or person your working with are very friendly and knowledgeable to their product! Definitely will be back and the others I was with said the same thing also. Good buds in every price range, all bud is lab tested and they even have a card on the front with more information. GO CHECK IT OUT!!

326. was accused of stealing and treated like a criminal and was 100% innocent!!! do not buy here!!!

327. Great store with incredibly helpful and friendly staff. They always have great deals! I recommend them to all qualifying medical patients!

328. love the v-pod from claw! another huge win for the cannabis community! would love to see a special on these and a GG #4 cart soon! love the staff <3

329. Awesome people

330. Great place great variety and AWESOME ppl!!

331. The meds were good along with great service. and its a convenient location.

332. I’ll be the first one at the door when They reopen! Hopefully soon. Governor Witmer please do the right thing reopen all Patient safe, Quality Medicine Dispensaries!!

333. Service is great, quality is good, have lots of options, very very pricey though. I am from out of state and I am staying in the Kalamazoo/portage area and I didn’t think to drive elsewhere for medical marijuana, but after checking prices in Lansing, go there. Prices are much cheaper, worth the gas money to go get cheaper products that are as good or better. Especially oil cartridges.

334. My budtender took time and made some very excellent points and helped me make my own decision. Its not always about the high. I have already recommended them after my first visit. I will return…

335. Always greeted with a smile and the staff is knowledgeable

336. From my first visit to my most recent visit I have always felt comfortable here. The staff is outstanding, knowledgable, and helpful. Peter Hofstra ,bud master,
     always has a smile to share. But all the Staff go out of thier way to make sure to help you get what you need, introduce you to something that might help better and of course share those smiles. dY~dY~

337. Bud tenders and desk people are super friendly all the time! Wish customers would be too!

338. Where to start, this place is amazballs. I got a free gram as a new patient. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, they recommend a few strains for me and so far they we dead on. They only offer flower but wow hands down some of the best bud I have smoked in the state. I recommend the Private Stash Blue Cheese, Blueberry Pancakes, and the sour diesel all 3 are fantastic. They were doing a remodel so the place was a little disorganized but that didn’t slow them down at all can’t wait to be back.

339. Mark helped me when I went in, he was very knowledgeable and helpful. Had a lot of strains to pick through!!

340. beautiful happy very nice. place.

341. i love them. Rachael is a good manager and it shows in the other staff.

342. GREAT place Awesome workers couldn’t get any better

343. Front counter person was clearly blown out of their mind. They ignored what i said when i handed my credentials to include me telling her it was my first time there. Two people walked in and went back before me so I asked what was going on and she simply just did not do what she was supposed to when I went to check in. Then they failed to tell me that they’re takes two pieces of identification on top of your medical card that is never ever happened anywhere else at any other dispensary and I’ve been to quite a few of them. Horrible customer service horrible attention to detail I think everybody there needs to lay off the medicine before coming to work. If stopped by LAW ENFORCEMENT the only thing required is a valid photo id and valid mmj card. No other dispensary I’ve ever been too has had this issue. They need to make that known so people dont waste their time on an unprofessional business.

344. A very good business. They are professional yet laid back. Very friendly and kind. They will even help you find what you need based on the pain or ailment you have. I have used your services many times and every time has been a pleasure.
     My only thought is to invest in your office. Its important to make the process feel like you are a reputable and professional medical office. This will boost your “Atmosphere” Rating from 3 to 5 stars.

345. My second time there! The staff are amazing and medicine is perfect for what ails you. Thanks for the service Lake Effect! See you again soon

346. The closure of Lake Effect is caused by LARA (https://www.michigan.gov/lara/0,4601,7-154-76106-42245–,00.html) not having an idea what they are doing. Incompetency runs a muck through this department. Hopefully Governor Whitmer https://www.michigan.gov/whitmer/ will take the lead and get this dispensary open again!

347. Professional staff, clean and well maintained facility. Medicine was well presented and well organized so even a guy like me who doesn’t know a lot about strains could figure it out. Putting the menu out front is a good idea which none of the dispensaries I’ve been to have.

     Only negatives to me were sort of feeling crammed against the windows when you walk in while there’s quite a bit of space behind the desk. A better layout might

348. They always have a great selection here and they rotate strains out regularly. I stop in once every couple of weeks and the staff is incredibly nice and so happy to talk to you about their favorites or give recommendations . Their menu ranges so even for those on a tighter budget, they can still have access to top quality medicine.

349. Just visited for my first time a week ago and loved it. Good selection, good staff, good product. Will shop again!

350. By far the best dispensery in Michigan.

351. I have never seen an unhappy employee they are polite, helpful and knowledgeable.

352. Great meds, extremely friendly bud tenders. My favorite dispensary to visit in Michigan.

353. Lake Effect is The best legit place for your meds!

354. Good quality products. Ridiculously expensive!…

355. Always top quality medicine in stock, plus, great service and friendly smiles.

356. Definitely a good dispensary, good selection with quality merchandise. Also good service too. Would definitely recommend!

357. Great conversations with staff, very experienced and knowledgeable workers.. Great prices, nice selections of flowers and wax.. Would recommend this location to EVERYONE

358. What was the outcome of court today? I am off the text update chain somehow. I need to know I drive 40 miles to get the best!

359. love the elmers glue.

360. I love this place everyone there is legit and basically remembers me when I was through the door with great product….Was wondering about how we go about obtaining our 2018 purchase records for taxes….

361. Quality meds, knowledgeable staff, competitive prices

362. appreciate replacing a defective cartridge at no cost – great customer service!

363. Love the chocolate Thai claw cartridge.

364. I absolutely love this place! The friendly and knowledgeable staff make it an enjoyable experience evey time I visit!

365. Awesome service, great products

366. This place has a professional and laid back feel to it. The guys usually greet me by name. Awesome employees, really friendly. I always leave happy!

367. friendly staff low wait time will be back

368. Love the people here

369. Great Staff And Meds Some Of The Best In Mi

370. got 1 g purp punch feels good smoking

371. great atmosphere, friendly customer service and decent quality for the price!!

372. Fantastic products, not overly priced too, great staff as well.

373. Great location. Friendly staff. A decent selection of meds for a variety of ailments. They do not sell wax or oils, but this is because the city isn’t properly educated on the topic.

374. The friendliest and most knowledgeable establishment I’ve ever seen. I wish everyone in the state had their stuff in order like these guys. well done.

375. Amazing customer service and wide range of edibles and strains!

376. Phenomenal bud, personable staff, good prices and plenty of discounts! This was my first dispensary trip and they’ve definitely made a regular out of me. The Danny Trevino, 24k, and Amherst Sour D are top-notch, and the Pineapple Skunk was probably the best strain I’ve ever tried.

377. Over priced meds, does not give you the proper pricing online and when you call to ask are in no way any more helpful. If you don’t live in Kalamazoo to just look yourself your better off going to Lansing like everyone who lives nearby has to

378. They are tooo expensive for some things,thats why ive been going to Lansing, $85.00 for 1g vape rediculous to me, i get those 4 for $106 in Lansing. only because they are the only ones here. . Not fair. Quit gouging customers.

379. Out of the few dispensaries that I’ve been to, this location is by far the best. The building and workers are organized and clean which goes toward overall presentation. When I walk in the door I’m always greeted directly, promptly and respectfully. Every single worker at Lake Effect is amazing and it’s workers are kind, caring and loving toward anyone and everything.

380. Won’t go back anymore, I tried to get behind these guys, but greed is the order of the day, their biggest draw is lab tests well everything is going to be lab tested, also everything is $5-$20 more for the same product all over Michigan (look at moxie products and the clear anything state wide) tired of paying inflated prices so they can have a cool tent at the ht cannabis cup… I’m done until it’s patients over profits again

381. I love this place. The people there are friendly and very helpful. They have a great selection flowers. It’s the only place I go to.

382. this is the only place on the west side of the state that offers this much care and variety. Everyone is friendly and knows your name enough to even have an idea of what you’re looking for when you step foot in the store

383. staff was personable, helpful & very knowledgeable

384. Nice staff and lots of products to choose from.

385. Probably the best in Michigan and I’ve been all over. Connoisseur grade selection and quality. Great staff… wish I remember their names but they have all pretty much been great to deal with and super helpful. Can get overly busy sometimes but the wait is worth it.

386. My favorite thing about Lake Effect is the people and atmosphere. The staff knows my name when I come in and it always feels like I’ve come back to see friends. Thanks Guys and Gals you’re great!

387. Been a long time customer. Friendly and professional I would recommend.

388. Nice staff. Good prices.

389. Always pleasant and friendly staff ensuring the needs of patients are met with a smile. Love returning to this facility again and again.

390. I absolutely love this place! Peacefull atmosphere. The people are awesome and very friendly. I always look forward to coming back. I’ll never go anywhere else!

391. The service and product here is beyond expectation. Everyone is very knowledgeable and willing to educate you on any questions you have. The staff, from the moment you walk in, to the moment you leave make you feel welcome and comfortable. I would definitely recommend any friend that’s a patient to this location! Great work! Keep it up!

392. Love this dispensary great environment great service and a nice variety of products

393. John B was very helpful!! They were so nice and helpful! Also their new client deal was amazing! I would highly recommend going here! This is the only place I want to go from now on!

394. The medicine is always effective and the people are amazing. They are knowledgeable and they do anything and everything they can to make you feel welcomed and comfortable while making certain to help you find the best medicine suited to my conditions. Of course, that doesn’t even take into account how friendly they all are.

     While I still have to drive out of town, it is most certainly the closest dispensary to my location. I am so grateful for their special attention to small details. They send out updates, keeping me informed if my favorite strains are back in stock or of the frequent specials they run. Lake Effect is definitely #1 in my book.

395. Highly recommend!

396. This was my first time in a dispensary, I didn’t know what to really expect. I must say the staff was so helpful they took their time to answer all my questions, even though I had a ton. Tori recommend I try a verity and recommend 3 different strains. I LOVE THEM ALL. They had little cards explaining what the effects would be and everything. Great selection of top quality meds I highly recommend you pay them a visit.

397. My budtender was Shelby. She was pretty great and patient with me!

398. Thank you, thank you for being here. I can’t begin to tell you what a difference this has made for me. The staff here is friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to take the time to explain things to me, no matter how busy they are.

399. All the bud tenders are super nice and knowledgeable. Also always have great product.

400. LOGAN WAS MY BUD TENDER. HE WAS VERY HELPFUL & FRIENDLY!! THIS IS A GREAT PLACE!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

401. Awesome place to go.

402. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Makes everyone feel welcome. the products are first class.

403. Lake effect is by far my favorite dispensary in my area. Their products never let me down! Staff are always helpful and have a smile on their face. My recent consultant was Pieter Hofstra, he was very friendly and helpful. The dispensary is well organized and clean!

404. Quality is ok, prices DEFINITELY reflect the lack of competition in the area. About TWICE as expensive as I pay in AA, and not as high quality.

     Waiting area could be worse, but it’s meh.

405. I decided for my second trip I would take advantage of the pre-order service they offer. I called in and then made the 1.5 hr drive, just to get there and have them say they didn’t have what I needed in stock… sort of defeated the purpose of doing the pre-order….not a great 2nd visit. The first trip in earlier this month was excellent though…staff was super helpful, meds were top notch.

406. I’m a medical nightmare with doctors all over the state. I’ve stopped checking other dispensaries because the quality difference is like night and day. Not only is the flower magnitudes better than anywhere else, their entire staff is outstanding in their knowledge and patience in finding exactly the right edible or smokable for your needs.

407. It’s nice clean I get a free gram when I bring a friend

408. Great dispo n West Michigan. Tons of quality selection, and friendly staff.

409. Great location and great selection of medicine as well as a very easy going environment.

410. I had a great experience, it was my first time visiting. I got a free gram and a free one hitter. Staff was great, knowledgable and helpful. It’s a one on one experience when you get into the back where the bud is kept.

411. A very good visit. I had waited for weeks to go because of southwest, MI attitude. It was very helpful for my conditions. Quality, but high prices. Things will get better in time.

412. My favorite place to go. Was hoping you’d be open by today for my birthday for the free bday gift but hoping you’ll be open soon! Always super friendly here.

413. Went for my first visit as a new patient. Very friendly, clean, professional atmosphere with approachable staff. Prices were a bit high for some items, but the daily specials more than made up for it. I would highly recommend this place to anyone, and will be bringing in friends from other areas who have been afraid to come to a dispensary for their first times too!

414. Amazingly friendly staff- knowledgeable about their products and very helpful. As the first storefront Ive been in, it couldnt have been a nicer experience- Id tell anybody to check it out!!

415. this place is awesome cool people good weed clean environment and best of all GREAT DEALS!!!

416. It was awesome!! Very organized and nate the consultant that helped me was friendly and really helpful!

417. coming from a long background of the medical Marajuana movement, if you want medical Marajuana, not some pretendaca, not sure why this isn’t ranked #1? yours truly,
     pot snob Stegio Hash!

418. The service here is always top notch! Even when they’re busy they get you in and out smoothly.

419. Best place to go when in kalamazoo county. Educated and excellent staff, quality services they stand by.

420. Always expanding with great success, keep up the good work guys 🙂

421. Not bad. Little parking upfront and the parking is plenty in the back. Staff is very helpful with questions.

422. A diamond in the rough.

423. As first time users Rebecca was wonderful. Very knowlegeable and helpful in finding out what would be best to fight my wife’s cancer. Not only did she recommend what to use and dosing information for THC and CBD capsules she was also a great source for diet and vitamin supplements. Can’t yet report on the effectiveness but do feel we have a partner on this journey. Thank you!

424. Love it!

425. Actually the service,the meds

426. its a nice safe location

427. Always great service, and decent prices. Every time I walk in, I learn something new.

428. The quality of flower is usually very good. Which is what I look for.
     Only thing that I can say negative is price but you usually get what you pay for.

429. I Always have a great experience. Staff is always very friendly and helpful.

430. I love coming to Lake Effect because they are the nicest people you could meet. Plus they are incredibly knowledgeable about all their products.

431. Love this place always nice good people there.

432. Best of the best, EVERYONE knows you and greats you like no other place I’ve been to. You guys are the BEST!

433. Staff is amazing. products are quality. wide variety but if u require alot of medicine this place is not affordable. they don’t offer any affordable concentrates and their flower is overpriced. after a year of using lake effect as my only provider of medicine I recently started driving to Lansing dispensaries and as a result have cut my monthly medicine cost in half.

434. Most knowledgeable staff on the west side of Michigan and medical grade cleanliness make for a medical patient’s favorite and most reliable dispensary.

435. Very laid back enviroment so it was easy to feel comfortable. All of the staff were very imformative and helpful. See ya soon!

436. Jeff is a great bartender.
     Clean and good atmosphere.
     Thanks for the help.

437. I like to look at then flowers and smell them before I decide which strain is best for me; some dispensaries have staff that seem a bit inpatient while I go through this process but Lake Effect is always so willing to spend an abundant amount of time helping me decide which medicine is best for me. I would recommend this establishment to any new patient.

438. Love the people they’re so helpful and kind!

439. I love the staff here they all take the time to know me as more than just another patient. The quality of the bud here is also top notch.

440. Great place to come and get meds. Everyone is very friendly even the other patients that come through. Keep up the good work Lake Effect.

441. Awesome place

442. honestly, I was happy too see so many people in this store. at first I felt uncomfortable considering there was roughly 25 people waiting to be called back but I checked in and was seen within 20 minutes of the check in. they are really nice here and explain everything too you without you feeling like a complete idiot if your new. I haven’t slept for more then 3 hours in the last month, these guys recommended some strains that made me go night night real fast. iam impressed and relieved. so relieved in fact iam going back around noon today for more. my first visit I spent 15 bucks and got everything I needed including a free gram. if your considering going to this dispensary I highly recommend it, and even if you are comfortable with your current dispensary, check these guys out and
     get your free gram. once you buy here, you’ll always buy here! thanks guys.

443. OMG!!!!! Today was the first day I’ve been in since they remodeled, it looks amazing and as always the service is great

444. First time coming here and the service was exceptional. John my tender gave me the full run through of their selection and deals as soon as I walked through the door. A++

445. Lake Effect is a cool place. The bud tenders are awesome, and they have a great atmosphere. They are always willing to try and help. Nate is a great bud tender who won’t steer you wrong. The bud can be hit and miss, but they always have at least one that will surly satisfy. They also have a good selection of other medicated options, that I have always had good experiences with. I mainly go there for cartridges. They do pre-orders making it very easy to get in and out, as they have the full menu in the lobby on the tv screens. The only time they ever mixed up my pre order and gave me the wrong cartridge; I came back they next day and they swapped it with the one they gave me. All in all I would highly recommend this place as a great local option.

446. This be my spot. Every time I go they have such a great variety. The meds are always on point. From wax to concentrate to flowers and edibles you can’t go wrong. But the thing more then Anything else that keeps me going back is the staff. They are always so friendly, very helpful and kind. From the first time I came in and signed up with Tori I Felt right at home. Customer service is a lost art and it’s nice to know that Lake Effect still has it. Thank you to the whole Lake Effect Crew!

447. First time patient and haven’t used for 20 years. Staff was super knowledgeable and helpful to make sure I was getting what I needed. If if I didn’t know exactly what that was. Will 100% be returning.

448. I love sitting there and seeing multiple new first time patients today like good for the patients and good for Lake Effect. Those patients came to the right place that’s for sure.

449. Everyone is very helpful and knowledgable on the product they stock. Great deals for high quality medicine. I’ve been in a few times since my first visit, I’ve loved everything that I’ve gotten from here. I will continue going back, this is my first stop for medicine.

450. Thanks Mark for making it yet another awesome trip, friendly helpful service with grat products.

451. Great friendly staff with a nice well rounded selection. Very relaxed and friendly environment.

452. By far the most professionally ran establishment I have been to from the receptionist to the budtenders. Great atmosphere I will be back.

453. Dope place

454. Awesome they know their stuff and keep the products A1 great place for being local. My No1 place to go for me would recommend to anyone who wants quality

455. Staff is ALWAYS friendly! Knowledge is power, and they know their product. The waiting room was full today. A gentleman who obviously works there says, “if anyone wants to pre-order we can get you out of here quicker.” I decided to take him up on his offer and got my meds in less than 7 minutes! Gorilla Glue #4 is the special today, $12/g. Pleased with the meds.

456. Quality meds with a knowledgeable staff!! Free gram with first time visit!! Friendly environment!

457. awesome place and people

458. All around great shop! Unsurpassed customer service. Clean, safe feeling. A prior review mentioned the need for “special incentives” for repeat customers, and I tend to agree. To be fair though, while there I noticed $18 g. on sale for $12 g. and I received a free gram as a new customer. By the way, get a $20 g. when taking advantage of this special. Personally I’d like to see some Jack dandy “shop keef” or even some $100 “shop medical shake” ounces available for when the funds run low. When I compare the top shops in Detroit and Lansing to this one, it easily holds its own. Because of gray areas in the local ordinances and State law, the selection is strictly flowers. But they are some damn good flowers from seemingly damn good people!

459. Very polite and knowable staff! I felt very welcomed. 10 out of 10! highly recommended! Great selection!

460. This is a great place! Every single time I’m here I’m giving no problems and the whole atmosphere is friendly! Products are great! My bud the fee was Aric D! Cool ass dude!

461. I don’t normally write reviews, but in this instance I feel compelled. Lake Effect has helped me tremendously during this time of my journey…beyond words…actually. But… I’ll try to share some words, so you will go check this place out for yourself! a~o

     I’m new to the Medical Marijuana scene, I also manage social anxiety & stomach issues, so I was a bit intimidated to visit any dispensory. But from the first phone call…

     Lake Effect not only met my expectations, but exceeded that bar. a~o

     This facility is exceptional…clean & organized. The employees are kind, helpful, & patient. They listen & try to help. Plus…all the product’s have been top self. Bonus! dY’dY~EURdY’

     Have an amazing day…and stop by Lake Effect, it’s worth it! dYOEzaoe”dY’faoe”

     (Oh ya…BIG Shout outs to Mark for being so patient & helpful yesterday and “hearing” my needs…even through all my shaky nervous energy! I appreciate you! a~o)

462. Awesome and so are the workers

463. Excellent and courteous service.

464. This location is the only one in Kalamazoo and defiantly is worth a visit.

465. They were very helpful with information.very friendly.

466. Dave was Very professional, respectful and friendly. He took the time to answer All of our questions. Really comfortable environment.

467. This place a f*cking fantastic for being the first ones to open up around here. They went above my expectations, had too many strains on the shelf for me to choose from, but i guess if that was my only problem, that should say something about it. I’m a regular and the staff has quickly become a huge part of my life because they’re always looking out for me and my med condition. I can’t drive so having this place close by is awesome and the staff is just a bonus for patients, making the whole experience fun. Keep up the good work

468. Order online if you want to be in and out.

469. Lake Effects is Top shelf and best all around place in the state for all meds and needs. Go on down an see Joe,Luna and the rest of the lake effects family. You will be well cared for. I fully recommend this place to all… This is the only place ill go from now on and you all should as well.

470. I have been a patient at lake effect since August and they have never failed to delivery consistent and effective care! Every employee is helpful and kind; the ones I have gotten to know a little better (Nate; Luna; Logan) are all super personable and really delve into details of all things they supply so that I am best medicated to suit my specific needs. Also, every front desk/check in person I have ever met here has been so chill and lovely; waiting there is pleasurable and I get to look at the entire menu on big ole TVs or watch whatever entertaining program they have on. Plus that on-site ATM can’t really be beat since I’m a card person.

471. I worked with John B. On 10-4-2018. He is very helpful. Thanks.

472. Can get busy so plan accordingly but staff is so cool you’ll hardly notice if there is a wait!

473. Love walking into the waiting room and seeing it filled with patients. Your senses are quickly high jacked by the aroma of freash quality medication. A pleasantry to any who enter indeed. Knowing they are always stocked with the top strains, usally 20+ gives patients the confindence of consistancy at the same time providing the oppourtunity to discover what strain is best for thier paticular ailment. Patients also have the luxury of examining meds first hand before purchase. Also the refferal and point system is a nice perk.

474. I use this place quite regularly and love it have a great selection

475. One of the best dispensaries in Southwest Michigan! Friendly staff is there to help you make a the best selection for you and is very knowledgeable. Pricing here is very reasonable and you’ll be able to get some great dank without breaking the bank!

476. I am so glad my son gave me their card. I think it is truly a blessing to have medicine like this available.

477. great people they know there product.willing to help you out with what you need.good friendly people.

478. i love this place, good smoke for the price it may be high but worth it, great service by dave

479. Great place and great device. Even better bud.

480. Great people. Clean meds!

481. I have been here a few times and I really love the live resin every time I have gotten it. There prices are steep but the do have daily deals. If it is your first time they have a great first time gift and a nice referral program too, but have an extra something with your name and address like a debit card or something along with both ID’s.

482. A good spot, location-wise to be in for patients convenience.

483. I had to make an account just to give the guys a shout out. Every time I am in there I feel like their best friend. They greet you with a warm smile by your first name. Everything is so clean and organized. Even when there is a long line they get you out really fast. It’s so cool they have some moldy bud on display to show you what not to get at other places. Five stars.

484. Went there for the first time today. It simply blew my mind. it was a great experience will be looking forward to visiting again.

485. Such a great place, husband and I were very recent 1st time patients. All the staff was so helpful and gave great recommendations. Great selections, will definitely be coming back again.

486. You guys are awesome! The $30 1/8ths are so crucial.

487. Top dispensary.

488. great place love it

489. Stopped in within an hour of the closing time and still had a Clean, professional, personal experience. Meds are handled properly, great variety of indicas/sativas & hybrids, everything is well labeled and staff was super kind. One of the nicer kept shops in the state. Keep it up!

490. staff always knowledgeable about their menu. we enjoy coming here, even though it’s a drive for us. best kush stuffed cookies ever!!dY$?(c)

491. great place !!!

492. nice people good smoke

493. I absolutely love Lake Effect and the people who work there. They really take the time to listen to my symptoms and help me get the right strains to help me. It’s an awesome location, easy to find, and the product is excellent. I absolutely recommend going to pay them a visit, you won’t be disappointed!!

494. pricing can be a little steep. but you get what you pay for

495. I have been a patient for over a year and always leave with great quality meds at reasonable prices

496. It’s my favorite place to go.

497. Beyond impressed with this establishment. Impressive verity and very knowledgeable staff. The kind of place I would recommend to anyone that needs high quality meds.

498. The staff are friendly and very helpful on directing me with the proper medicine for my illness. Thank you Lake Effect staff

499. For a first time user it was great. Very helpful understanding, very knowledgeable

500. Every one there are very nice and very helpful Peter Hotstra is a very helpful employee

501. Great location and amazingly friendly workers! Great prices and product!

502. On 9/6/2018 I was here and once again great product and great service!

503. This has to be the best flowers in the country if not the world.

504. Very pleasant staff, solid selection and excellent quality products. Cannot recommend highly enough.

505. You guys are wonderful , I am so freaking happy you are open again. Anyone who hasn’t been must go !

506. Pieter Hofstra was very knowledgeable and staff is always kind

507. Generally love everything about LE! Disappointed beyond description in JE Rosin medicine. Have tried twice, both times came on a foil backed, cheap sheet. Was too liquid to scrape and never solidified in my freezer (not that it should require freezing). Sent L.E. two FB msgs, ledt voice message for mngr, and mentioned to budtenders. Nobody has reached out to help with this issue. I love everything about this place, with this being my only quality/customer service issue that I can ever recall. Stay away from the JE Rosin, wasted $100 on it!!!

508. Nice rotating selection. Some very good test results on delicious strains.

509. This place is very friendly and helpful. Really good flower

510. Their daily deal system is great. You have a chance of getting great bud for up to a third cheaper than usual! Last time I went I got Caesar on sale and was definitely not disappointed!

511. Being from Lansing I cannot believe I have not heard of such a top notch place. The products they offer are all insanely good. I’m used to playing medicine roulette in Lansing, where you never know what you are going to end up with when you roll it up. This place is fire af… I will be back.

512. They are open. Remodeling done!!!

513. I travel the state and I’ve been to as many provision/holistic/dispensary as I can remember. No where else follows compliance to the aEURoeTaEUR. They always have your top shelf meds and they are always making sure to put it in rotation for the deals of the day. If your going anywhere else for true and high quality meds then your wasting time, money, and your jeopardizing your health.

514. Oh my God I went in there and Rebecca was awesome she gave me everything I need it I love this place

515. Always willing to drive the extra distance for the quality and consistency of medicine and service here! And always a fantastic selection of meds. Will continue to recommend this place.

516. Everyone is so helpful and friendly here. Super efficient in and out. Always has what we like!

517. Rebecca did an amazing job getting me familiar with the shop. She focused on my needs and took time to helped me find the best medicine to help with my condition. I left feeling more educated about my medicine and what will best help bring me some relief. I’m very grateful.

518. Joe is the best budtender always very helpful on the strands you are looking for to use for pain sleep etc.

519. Excellent!

520. Best crew and best flower in the mitten. Fairly priced when compared to other dispensarys in the state. Keep it up Lake Effect!

521. Nice selection, awesome knowledgeable staff. Would recommend this dispensary for new patients and old.

522. Ok so I really like the Juana honey sticks…however, I found an old unopened one yesterday (I could tell bc their packaging has since changed) and I noticed a difference in mg strength for what is supposed to be the same price/same product. So maybe if they could be a little more consistent…

     All other edibles I’ve tried from here tend to be pretty good!

     The staff here is excellent. It’s no secret. They’re professional but also very friendly and welcoming!!!

523. I was really nervous because I am new to all this, but the service, knowledge, and kindness at Lake Effect made everything easy. I’m grateful for them. After hearing about contaminated products elsewhere, I was comforted by Lake Effect’s promise to test everything. Relieved.

524. Experienced, friendly, and very helpful staff to help you. Very nice place with true, lab-tested meds. Meds are VERY high quality! You’ll be extremely happy with Lake Effect!!

525. Little pricey but great quality

526. I’m so happy that a great place like this with great people are so close by my home. They have everything you need and plenty of people to help with any question. I would highly recommend stopping by.

527. It is very nice to know that medical patients in the Kalamazoo and Portage are can go to a place like this one to get their meds. The place is great, their staff is friendly and they have a very decent variety of flowers. It is just a matter of time until this place can develop at its full-potential and help individuals with an even greater variety of products. But, needless to say, I was pleased with the quality of their flowers. Keep the spirit up Lake-Effect. See you soon.

528. Joe offered good information and was very helpful . Nice place

529. Excellent service, Steve and Jake were amazing and so kind. Check in guy was personable and of great help too. Products reasonably priced and effective! Def an A++ in my book!

530. It was great people were great. Product selection was awesome!

531. It was laid back not pushy I enjoyed my 1st time

532. The bud tenders are very helpful and knowledgeable. I enjoy coming to this location.

533. great place friendly people and place to be

534. Professional atmosphere,clean, knowledgeable staff,very friendly.

535. The best buds I have tried so far, the different variety’s just blow my mind. It seems there is always something new to try!

536. Great Place Great People….

537. Friendly and outgoing staff. Highly recommend!

538. Its a small would be nice if they offered beverages and maybe a place to be able to test medications. The prices are decent.

539. Had me in and out for a first time visit in half an hour. Amazing dedication to detail and tenders are all very nice and helpful.

540. Very nice except if your suppose to get any freebies an place a order a head of time be sure to check your bag! Because I assumed mine was in there an was not

541. I love the friendly, knowledgeable staff. I also appreciate that they test their product to ensure the best quality medicine possible. I will definitely be back!

542. Awesome service. They treat you with respect.love it there.

543. I like how friendly and knowledgeable the consultants are… Joe is the coolest.. Selection is great!

544. Missing blueberry pancakes like crazy.. but there are so many choices .. Lake Effect is rocking

545. I have always loved Lake Effect. The staff is always kind and knowledgeable. The stock is near always top shelf, however it tends to be on the costly side of provisioning centers. Overall it’s worth a look at least!

546. Tight parking but definitely worth the drive… Nicest dispensary I’ve ever been too… dY$?–dY$?–dY$?–

547. 1st time visit today and I’m def
     going back for sure. It was a safe environment, I liked how you payed separate so no one knew what you were walking out with. Good quality bud too.

548. Classy shop. Great staff. Great products . Recommended. Highly.

549. Some of the best people to help with your medical needs. Always pleasant and knowledgeable

550. Everytime I come inside Lake Effect I leave happy. Great place aoedY1/2

551. Lake Effect is one of my top dispensaries. Great quality, friendly staff, and decent prices too! They have weekly deals as well which is really awesome.

552. Nice place great peepsdY~Z. They are getting the shop redone. It looks great so far, cant wait to see it complete. The crew here is legit the best Ive met. Educated on meds, helpful and a damn good time. Check em out. Definitely worth your time! Thanks Lake Effect !!!

553. Absolutely amazing. Super friendly. They know all their information.

554. The staff is helpful and informative. I just wished they were able to keep cartridges on the shelf. I seem to always have to travel to Lansing or Ann Arbor because they always have them in stock and it’s my prefered method to medicate. If you’re looking for a nice flower they can help you out though.

555. I found out about these guys at the Cannibas cup. I went to visit the site and was blown away by the dealsand the customer service. Can’t wait to go back.

556. Like the quality good place as well to shop

557. Good service, easy to sign up, professional service and very informative pricing.

558. Great atmosphere, friendly and knowledgeable staff, especially Nate. Highly recommend checking it out!

559. They not only test everything that they sell, they make sure you are aware of exactly what you are getting for your money as well. The staff is absolutely amazing! They truly stand by their customers and do everything they can to help. I have never left disappointed. I won’t go anywhere but Lake Effect and I haven’t for over a year now!

560. I love the service and the employees they make great recommendations for how I feel throughout a day and Know there stuff it’s good to see the educational part of Mary jane alive

561. Just moved to the area and stopped by for the first time and let me tell you, this place is da bomb! Nice waiting area, clean and spacious but most importantly they had THE BEST medicine. I love top shelf but noticed they had solid mids very reasonably priced. I tried out a couple strands and can’t wait to go back for more!

562. Fire flower. Knowledged staff. I will continue getting my meds here.

563. Completely amazing staff, very nice steup and great medicine as well. For it being my first time, I rate 5 stars. Will be visiting again.

564. Online ordering is the best. They always have so much of a selection and I can be in and out so quickly. I’m loving it for real.

565. I love lake effect! Their product selection is always reliable and of good quality and the dispensary itself is extremely organized with very friendly and knowledgeable staff. The only thing I’d change is I would make their lobby area more homey (:

566. I really enjoyed the professionalism and variety; I highly recommend all patients make a vist!

567. This place is quiet, clean, and super friendly. They have great meds and a great selection, everything I’ve tried from here has been incredible.

568. Five star place ri-cheer! Can’t wait for that cup winning Brain Wreck to hit the shelves again!

569. I always enjoy coming to Lake Effect because every time I get in and out with exactly what I went there for. I enjoy talking with the staff especially Jessica. She’s greats!!

570. Absolute best quality. Only place I’ve been to within 100 miles that has such a high quality. bad side is the price comes with the quality. it’s not over priced, lansing doesn’t have the same quality. if you’re looking for a cheaper buds with great quality than either “Best Buds” or “cornerstone welness” in lansing is where you want to go. Promise you won’t find a higher quality than Lake effect!

571. Great and friendly service, yet not everyone is as knowledgeable as I would think they could be and a hair pricey. The guy that waited on me was very patient & seemed very knowledgeable. Most of products I’ve tried were good.

572. Wowzers those platinum cookies are amazing

573. Friendly, helpful staff and great productsdY~S

574. Always a great experience, amazing quality, friendly staff, and pleasant atmosphere. Prices are on the higher end, and the parking lot is small, but you won’t be disappointed.
     A friend of mine has worked there since the beginning. They have good deals, and a huge assortment of products to choose from. From cookies and candy to pre rolls , flower and concentrates. Something for everyone!
     And it’s conveniently in the Kalamazoo/Portage area. So if you’re in south west Michigan it’ll save you are long drive to lansing! Please check them out. Your support means a lot 🙂

575. As good as their products are the staff is great as well. Professional informative and friendly as well! Now i’m not an expert but I have been smoking pot for over 40 yrs. and think the products are well worth the money they charge. Will be back again!

576. Oh my gosh this place, these people are amazing! I went for the first time today and they were so helpful and so friendly!
     They made me feel welcome, they answered my questions,they made me feel like I was a friend they had known forever.
     I will bring them my business from here on out!

577. Man I tell you lake effect is one of the best spots in Michigan and the best spot in Kalamazoo as a veteran there staff makes sure that all my needs are taken care of so please stop on and see the great staff at Lake effect

578. Excellent service, clean and helpful, A++++ on their line of products

579. Loved everything about it! I’ll be back…

580. Extremely helpful staff. Always willing to take time to help you sort try to find the best product for your specific needs. Highly (dY~S) recommend!

581. Let me start by saying , I am grateful to have a dispensary .
     But , for chronically / terminally ill patients who are living on very limited income it’s somewhat unaffordable .
     With a Dispensary it comes to eat or medication .
     That’s sad .
     People are very nice here .
     service is good but as I said almost unaffordable .
     It’s like trying to fill a $380 prescription living on a very limited income .
     Still grateful for the service .
     In a pinch .
     I support the dispensary don’t get me wrong ,
     But thank goddess for caregivers as part of the Patient and people’s law in michigan a~(r)i,

582. Very cool place. Very professional and keep a tight crew operating the facility. A sweet selection of herbs and other products. Great to have this dispensary in my neighborhood!!!

583. Joe:) was here bud vender

584. So glad I pulled my map screen out and found this place. The place down the road is a joke, you guys are awesome. Where did you come up with that Blueberry Pancake strain!? I neeeeed morrrreeee!

585. Great consulting on what you are looking for.

586. Positive vibes every visit. Premium Medicine. Everyone is Knowledgeable about the medicine they really know what they are talking about. Don’t know every ones name but shouts to Joe! Great Bud Tender.

587. Really love having a place close to me. Quality products with variety, knowledgeable and friendly staff who aren’t pushy, and the ability to pre-order for a quicker pickup. Only downsides are the prices (which are def high compared to the other dispensaries I’ve been to) and the sometimes longer wait times (because they pair you with your own bud-tender and counter). Still a great place I’ll keep returning to.

588. Everyone is very helpful!

589. Great dispensary! Came for my first time a few weeks ago based on a friends recommendation and was pleasantly surprised. Was driving over an hour to Lansing and now I don’t have to. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Worth the visit!

590. The only reason I say 4 star for service is, you must have 3 forums of ID on you, if you don’t use a credit card, or carry around your SS card you might be screwed, other than that they give you free medicine!! Everyone you go in there you have potential to get free medicine!

591. I absolutely love the atmosphere of lake effect. Any customer of any age feels comfortable walking in here! The staff is always friendly from the second you walk in the door and are very helpful 🙂

592. Best quality bud I’ve found so far!

593. Its the best and worth the hour and a half drive for me

594. Great people great buds!!!!

595. Prices are absolutely RIDICULOUS!! Spend the gas money and go to Jackson or Lansing. Prices are much more reasonable and products are high quality!! Someone needs to open a new spot in Kalamazoo so prices aren’t so high!!!

596. great location with a good size variety of meds.

597. very great reccomendations , I love the daily deal thing, and everyone is friendly. I also like the chop sticks and tongs so you know that no one is touching your weed

598. One of the better ones in the area

599. Staff was super friendly and helpful. John was my bud tender and he was very informative, patient and kind. He helped me track what I was spending, made great recommendations, and generally made the experience great. Product was all top notch. I will definitely shop here again.

600. Was surprised very nice people, lots to pick from. They seem to know about what they was sailing. I will return again Thank you

601. The killer cookies gives me the energy of a thousand Avengers, which is so helpful with my chronic condition. I wish we could make comments on our experience with each strain they sell. Would help in selecting new things and finding customer favorites, though the staff is super helpful. They are doing righteous work.

602. Cool place, worth your time.

603. Always a great experience at Lake effect! Everyone is so nice and fast! Also they are very knowlegdable about any questions you may have.

604. Rebecca was a great help and got everything I needed. Little pricey but great service.

605. The best around! Love the knowledgeable staff and the friendly service!

606. Staff always kind and helpful. Needs larger parking lot.

607. They are friendy, helpful, and understanding. They make you feel welcome and their products are great! Always leave with a smile on my face and their stuff always makes you want to come back for more!

608. It was a great experience!

609. Great place in West Michigan

610. Great Indica flowers!

611. absolutely love this location. fast service, friendly staff,great meds. what else could a man/woman ask for?

612. trash prices

613. Great service & knowledge. Excellent meds with variety. Best place in the area. Rebecca is a 5-STAR consultant!

614. Lake effect has great service and an excellent variety of different strains. Clean safe, environment and I would definitely recommend to a friend.

615. Limited choices of $10/G Flower, often out of strains on the menu. All nice looking buds, Super handling and storage. I have to drive an hour and am disappointed when they are out of what I want.

616. Hands down the best medicine in Michigan I’ve had. The staff is very friendly and welcoming.

617. Cleaner and more professional than my Dr.s office. Far better medicine to.

618. great staff.. great meds…reasonable prices.

619. Great product.

620. Small location but extremely helpful prices are kinda high

621. Happy again. Mark was spot on and knew his stuff. Lake effect has earned my business. great meds. Thank You!

622. Every experience i’ve had here has been absolutely great! Even when the lobby is PACKED, I have never waited longer than 10 minutes. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and the selection of products is great!

623. This was my first visit, actually, my first time at a dispensary. I was kindly welcomed and treated with the upmost respect. The interactions between the co-workers was very nice. I could tell there wasn’t any drama there. This helped make me feel relaxed and comfortable. Jeff introduced me to your products and points system. He answered all questions and helped me make my selection. I bought some gummies. The effects of them are great but, the flavor could use some improvement. I felt like I was eating a shot of booze. I’m not a fan of alcohol so the surprise burst of it was a little off putting. That’s why I gave the quality 4 stars. With that being said, I definitely would come back and recommend you to my friends. Thank you!

624. Always super easy experience, and fast service. Jot is super helpful, answered all my questions, and I found. Out I had points I didn’t even know existed. Great surprise!

625. This place is so chill. I love the atmosphere. I would love a job opportunity if there is one.dY$?PS but fr fr they have top shelf buds

626. Staff is always so helful. There is always a nice variety of strains to choose from. Place is clean and friendly.

627. My first visit to any dispensary, everyone is helpful and friendly. The wait was less than I expected for a Saturday and Dave was very informative and helpful. Product is great! Worth a little drive.

628. Best medicine and friendly service. Our family loves this place.

629. The canna cream is awesome!!!
     I use it regularly!

630. house was is out of control and ice cream cake is amazing u guys gotta get platinum vape

631. I drive to this place from Lansing. I like going somewhere that has a large, fair priced selection. I like that it does not feel like a trap house. Good welcoming feeling when at Lake Effect.

632. Friendly staff. Great selection.

633. Great people, good product, repeat Customer. But I had to knock off stars because of one large frustration. I have to drive pretty to get there, and there is, understandably, usually a wait. I’d love to be able to preorder but I tend to get a variety of edibles, and the menu here on leafly is incredibly inconsistent when it comes to the Mg’s in the edibles. To me that is a huge factor in what I want order. I have hopes you might fix this in the future.

634. Always help find what i need

635. The people were friendly, knowledgeable and professional. The products were excellent. I am a novice with poor hearing and My consultant, Pieter H was very helpful and patient.

636. Don’t get no better than this people!

637. Absolutely LOVE Lake Effect! From the moment you walk in the door until the moment you leave this place will make you feel comfortable! They have a good selection and great variety. The staff is very welcoming as well as having great knowledge on what you’re looking for out of the strains. Plus free grams on your birthday plus every time you bring a a new member in! What!? I highly encourage to stop on by and give them a visit!!!

638. Always amazing service with many smiles! You feel as if you are the only patient they have at the time of service, which makes a very pleasant atmosphere.dY’
     John B. Rocks!

639. High quality flower.

640. I love the staff at Lake Effect! They are all so friendly, welcoming, and most importantly, patient with their customers.

641. Merry Christmas to the LE staff!

642. The waiting room at Lake Effect has a somewhat clinical vibe, but the bud tending room is really nice and not too overwhelming. The employees where knowledgeable and kind, will be returning.

643. This was my first visit and it was awesome! The staff is very welcoming and helpful. Thank you John B for making my first visit a good one!

644. Good quality flower! Had a large selection of concentrates and normally has a good selection of edibles. Gave me a free gram with my purchase because it was my first time there. They do make you fill out some paperwork in the beginning but it takes less than five minutes. The staff are knowledgeable about their products and very friendly. Lighting was good and the facility was clean. Products were within reasonable prices. They could have had a few more strains at the lower end of their price range, but even the $10/g quality is high.

645. Beat dispensary in the Glove. Great product and great sevice. Shout out to Jeff for tak8ng care of me with his knowledge and patience.

646. Helpful and very friendly people to purchase from

647. This place never disappoints. The meds get better and better.

648. I’m so glad they were able to stay open. They have been one of the best things to happen to Portage and to me.

649. awsome location

650. Everyone is super helpful here. It is a very relaxed and comfortable experience. John B, helped me last time and was very knowledgeable.

651. Peter:
     Welcome to the Lake Effect faimly. You did a great job. Wonderful energy.

652. Luna was very helpful and answered all my questions. I would highly recommend Lake Effect to anyone! All the staff is kind and knowledgeable.

653. Great meds great service.

654. My fav dY’*

655. Not only did I get great service and medicine but they told me about this cool app Leafly, the staff here is awesome! I recommend the grand doggy purps, best ive ever had.

656. Excellent service and products!!!

657. Quality is great depending on the strain I think they preorder is way easier sometimes but if not busy no need you’ll get past prices are ok high but a lot of vairiety and deals staff is exceptional with clients except some need better training on the kind of flowers and edibles overall always there for me thoughdY’-aoeOEdY1/4

658. I went there my first time last week and everyone was amazing !! I can’t wait to go back 🙂

659. Parking is limited.

660. I miss you more than words can say. Lake Effect is always for the patient.

661. THIS PLACE HAS GOT SOME GREAT MEDS!

     SHOUT OUT TO T FOR BEING SO GREAT AND HELPING ME WITH EVERYTHING. SHE’S GOT SOME GREAT T SHIRTS IN THERE TOO!

     SUPPORT THIS GROWING DISPENSARY!

     THE JILLYBEAN AND BLUE DREAM ARE PHENOM.

     leafly is silly and wouldn’t let me post in all caps so here is my non-caps to meet post requirements

662. Holy cow! First off guys well done! Not only did I have a great experience. They were spot on with their education of the product. The atmosphere was professional. And was even given superpower advice. Shape-shifter. Would definitely recommend to a friend and will do soon. Would definitely come back again. If anyone is looking for a fun and professional experience. Please stop here!

663. Very friendly and professional staff welcomes you in the lobby and guides you through the entire process.

664. Have not been here yet. One hour drive. Would make the trip if I knew what was on the menu. Doesnt help to put names without explanations of these strains.
     Hardly ever any sativas. I need to know what im driving an hour for.

665. Only my second time going but Luna was very helpful! She took the time to listen to my concerns and then try to fit my budget and products to help my specific complaints.

666. great customer service!! Always a great selection of flower!!

667. Great place and great people! The community really needs this dispensary to reopen.

668. I hope you guys will be reopening soon love the place and the people and great selection of meds

669. This location has knowledgeable and friendly staff. Impeccable customer service and quality strains.

670. a really great place!

671. During my last visit.. I was unsure if I would have time to look at products so I made a pre-oder and by the time I got there and checked in my order was ready!!! Love fast service (:

672. Great space and great products. Recommend it to all my friends

673. LOVE this place! everyone is always polite and the service is great!

674. Great place, lots of great products and friendly employees.

675. Great place

676. This is absolutely THEE best dispensary in Michigan! I’ve been to them all and Lake Effect will be the only one I EVER go to. The service is always with a smile, friendly conversation, tons of knowledge about their product! The staff is PHENOMENAL!!!

677. Excellent

678. Jeff was very knowledgeable and helpful during my first visit to this dispo. In my opinion, prices are too high for what you get. Lansing dispos are much cheaper for the same/even better quality.

679. Great staff and great selection. I love this place!

680. This is the most nolagable dispensary. They know everything about the stains how is made everything. The prices are very reasonable. Hope they can stay open.

681. So, today was my first time actually going into a dispensary, and I was extremely impressed with everything Lake Effect has to offer. My consultant was John B and he was super helpful! He helped me find everything I needed and I’m so impressed with the service and medicine!dY’ I will definitely be back and recommending to others. Thanks for making my first experience great.

682. Thanks to Johnny M, my consultant, he did an excellent job of helping me. The place had a lot of people there, yet they moved right along and gave me excellent care. Answering my questions and helping me in a timely fashion.

683. I was pleasantly surprised by Lake Effect. I really like this place and will be coming back for a long time.

684. was diagnosed with stage 2 adenocarcinoma cancer of the stomach on 4/26, and have to say y’all have went above and beyond all expectations with helping me out with being a little less sick and pain free! the BEST tenders around!

685. I really liked this place. The guys that worked here where great. Everyone was super helpful and really nice. They took their time to help me and answered all my questions perfectly. I will definitely be going back.

686. The staff is great and the atmosphere is friendly!

687. Everyone is really friendly and helpful!

688. Some great new buds on the menu. Had the fakushima and highly suggest! Shouts out Jeff

689. John B was excellent: knowledgeable and listened well to make recommendations to suit my needs specifically. Michigan growers will hopefully develop a larger range of ^CBT:THC sativa buds, concentrates and edibles. I am relatively new to paraplegia and neuropathic pain and the medicines I acquired help a lot !

690. The best. I don’t know how any other business can compete. Best staff, nice and friendly customers, and great selection of buds. By far my favorite experience ever.

691. Don’t listen to this Guitarded420 moron. The place is honestly great. This guy is just mad he can’t afford the top shelf stuff.

692. As a new card holder, this was the first dispensary I went to and the staff was very helpful and welcoming.

693. Convenient location & pleasant staff made it a great experience. I’m so happy there is a place in Kalamazoo you can trust to have quality meds.

694. Staff are nice, waiting room is too small/at times very congested, prices are way too high for what you get. Wish there was more competition in the area.

695. The only problem with buying really great strains for sleep is my favorite thing is chiefin. Just want to add a quick recommend to my Universal props that you add small stop signs to the ends of the driveways, please!

696. Very nice staff and they keep good hours. The shop was clean and professional.

697. this is a super friendly place. I’ll def be coming back here.

698. Close to home …

699. Very much enjoyed having chica as a budtender. You go girl.

700. It is always welcoming and inviting.
     Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful.
     Love Lake Effect!!

701. Samantha was very helpful and friendly! Thanks samantha!

702. tried the new elmer’s glue, love it i think its my new favorite

703. amazing location, great service and super friendly first experience!

704. I think they beat out most in the country. Having them 20 mins from Battle Creek has been a life saver.

705. Excellent, Ann Arbor feeling with great quality product. Good to have someplace close by.

706. Any day that involves a trip to Lake Effect is always a great one.
     Thank you staff for all you do!

707. Top notch service! Friendly and knowledge. If your in the Kalamazoo, portage area this is the place to get top shelf bud!!! They have all their product’s tested at the spot in Kalamazoo.

708. great customer service

709. Close to home easy to get to!

710. Very personal and friendly atmosphere Informative. My consultant Johnny M led me to just the right combination of strains within budget. Very pleasant experience.

711. I love u guys and the perfect strain of wifi

712. I had an amazing experience when I walked in. Everyone was very helpful and I walked out beyond satisfied!

713. Love location. Prices a little high specially for disability people. Would love to come back but cant afford to be able to medicate from month to month. Would be back if only for a g or 2.

714. Always great vibes love the staff. Dave was my bartender he lead me on to some great flower . Definitely will be back again

715. The only dispensary I’ve found with LAB tested product. First Class treatment, with TOP shelf product ! THANKS ! to everyone at Lake Effect for all the hard work u do.

716. i was happy and even happier i didnt have to go far. staff was cool people

717. Wonderful customer service, happy atmosphere, quality product, will definitely refer many friends and will visit this dispensary more often!

718. Thoroughly impressed. Reminded me of the places out west.

719. All sorts of variety. Good staff. Even better bud.!! My first choice

720. awesome place to go for amazing bud and deals

721. First impressions are everything and I was very impressed upon my first visit. Excellent product and selection. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Welcoming atmosphere. Would recommend to anyone to try them out.

722. Works just fine for me!

723. Quick, convenient, great staff, and amazing product.

724. Awesome product and the staff is friendly and helpful, and those girls there are GORGEOUS! Way to run a business!!

725. Wonderful Shop, Great Staff, Friendly, Helpful. The location isn’t bad, they just need more room. Not much seating in waiting room for handicapped patients which makes it difficult because their usually busy and have long wait times, which is most the time. I can see why because its a great shop! Best way to go is to pre-order.

726. Back in the day, you’d have to call some guy who calls a guy who lives with his mom and needs to meet you at a Walmart parking lot to give you some decent unknown strain of canabis in a plastic bag…. and now here we are with cartridges, brownies, drinks, hard candies, – of course all of the edibles are vaccumed sealed. They also have about 30 different strains of regular canabis and a nice selection of pre-rolled joints. THC levels from 12-24%.

     This place is so professional as well. Flat screen TVs for the menus, they’ll walk you through the whole process, they have specials and take credit cards. Just crazy. What a time to be alive.

727. Love this place. Highly recommend

728. Awesome place good meds great people

729. Great staff very helpful and thoughtful. one stop shop for all my meds right here in Kzoo. No more long drives to Lansing!! Love this place.

730. Great people, always super nice and helpful. Product is good, and atmosphere is great!

731. These guys are great and the product is always top of the line.

732. Great an close

733. Dave has always been informative knowledgeable and very helpful. He helps narrow down the selection of products to what would be best for me. The atmosphere is always friendly and pleasant.

734. Awesome service and product, happy with my visits!

735. I really loved the friendly atmosphere and great service! would definitely recommend this store to my friends!

736. I love lake effected!!!

737. This is, by far one the best collections in the entire state of Michigan. Some of the flower I have seen go through their doors is exceptional in terms taste, smoke and high (their Jesus OG tested at 29% plus!!!).
     I would highly recommend to anyone. I have been a loyal customer for 4 months now. Thanks for what you guys do!!

738. very nice atmosphere, helped me with ever need and ever questions with no problems. will be going back again.

739. Awesome Dispensary!

740. I love Lake Effect. Grabbed a cannagar not too long ago. The magars are way better, imo. The cannagar smoked a bit fast and didn’t seem as potent. I’ll stick to the magars if I want to splurge in the future.

741. Drove three hours to check this place out! I have only heard good things and will only say good things about Lake Effect. If you are coming from out of town I would highly recommend calling in an order so you know they will have what you want!

742. Nice little place, first time in staff was great and very accommodating. Being able to put a “to go” order in is also a nice touch keep up good work!!

743. Prices are high, but excellent product.
