If you are visiting Florence, Oregon, and would like to purchase recreational marijuana from a dispensary, this blog post is for you!
We will provide information on the dispensaries in Florence and what you can expect when you visit them.
Keep in mind that each dispensary has its unique atmosphere and product selection, so be sure to do your research before choosing one. Happy shopping!
I've been visiting cannabis dispensaries in Florence for a few years since I moved to the Oregon Coast in 2016.
The city of Florence has three dispensaries in town and one just south of it. Beyond those, the nearest dispensary to Florence is approximately 15 miles due east in the small town of Mapleton or 20 miles north in beautiful Yachats.
For this review, I visited them on the same day, and they are all fairly close to each other.
All of them have a top shelf vs. bottom shelf kind of display. The pricier bud on the top shelf can go as high as $18 a gram, while you could also find some $50-60 ounces which would reduce your price to $2.5 a gram.
Most Florence dispensaries also offer price breakdowns when you get more than a 1/4. They have other products like topicals and edibles that also have daily deals. You can see the different owner's footprints in each shop which is cool, considering they are all within a couple of miles of each other.
Each dispensary also has its own grow so they are priced competitively.
I recommend asking about their private brand.
If you are in the area more than once, I recommend checking them out and figuring out which is your favorite.

Arboretum parking & Entrence
Arboretum dispensary from highway 101 I have known this place for years and I've seen it grow its offering through this time. Pleasant space right on highway 101 for a quick stop on the way, lots of light and easy access for a dispensary with a private parking lot, security is friendly and welcoming and they have cookies and water for patrons.
Entrance
I remember the first time walking into this place thinking how open, bright, and inviting it was, like a little boutique pharmacy but for cannabis. 
You can see the different strains on the shelf and the manager/bud-tender I spoke with Trista was very professional and knowledgeable about their products and the process altogether.
Bud selection on the shelf
Acapulco gold, Karmic elevation
The most expensive bud in the store is $18 for some top-shelf stuff and they go as low as $60 ounces which gets you 1 gram of pot for a whopping $2.5 which is an awesome deal IMO.

The bud-tender was so lovely and made me feel very welcome. We had a great conversation about the benefits of cannabis and what products have the most positive and effective impact. Some quality bud from quality people.

Buds4U - Florence Location
Florence Buds4U Entrance
Buds4U as it is a chain of dispensaries with 4 locations in Lane county so it kinda touch and go depending on which store you visit and the bud-tender. This was the quickest visit and perhaps the smallest shop we visited. Buds4u started with its Mapleton branch in 2015 and expanded its operation to Veneta, Florence and Lakeside

Private Reserve Cannabis 101 - About 1 mile south of town
The last time I visited this location was a few years ago and it was under a different name with different ownership. I find it remarkable that quality was not diminished and this place is still a cool hidden Gem.
This place had a really clean design, and access from the highway heading north is easy while if you're coming from Florence it's a bit tricky as it’s not a big spot, so pay attention when you're driving in. They have a few flags saying Dispensary but it’s not that obvious. The bud-tender Logan helped me out and he was great.
A very chill attitude allowed me to take my time and check out some of their wall art and merch. If you Spent $20 or more on some great bud you get raffle tickets! The prize is one interesting artsy-looking glass pipe which I did not win. The guy in the back said they run a raffle every 15th of the month for a cool product like that so good on them! Maybe ill start visiting every 14th.
