some of our patient reviews from WT:

just got back from harborside, this place has huge potential. The staff here are excellent. They are friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and clearly qualified for their respective positions. Their opening day selection may leave something to be desired but the intensive care grand daddy is top notch and some of the others look pretty decent as well. This is a patient and caregiver collective, they do not force you to designate them as your caregiver in the way many other clubs do. These people are on the up and up, and are clearly trying to provide safe access to medicine for patients while also providing services above and beyond the call of duty. I'd say this place reminds me of BPG, just a lot more classy and a lot less hippy-style(not meant to be derogatory to hippies.


this club is a keeper, folks... the space is clean & bright, with tons of natural light coming in from the windows (yes, you can see in from outside). and the staff is as friendly & professional as they come, too. at this point they've got edibles, extracts, a few clones (jack flash, the odious HMW skunk & a couple others) and a decent though small selection of herbs (a little outdoor, some purples & a few other odds 'n ends). they're striving to have over thirty different varieties to choose from-- a noble goal if there ever was one.
go check this place out & give them the business... they deserve it!

as for harborside - oh my gawd! makes the BPG look like a soup kitchen. We stopped by because we'd heard that they were opening this month and were curious to see the space. We got a little preview (lucked into someone working on the space who gave us a mini tour) and can't wait - this is the club Oakland has been waiting for! Classy, classy, classy. Great BIG space with lots of room in the dispensory and seperate rooms for classes, massage, counseling, etc. If the herb lives up to the space I may just park my car in their big 'ole lot and move into it.

I was able to visit the ultra clean, brand new facility @ Harborsie health center 1840 embarcadero in oakland and I was highly impressed. Upon entrance I was greeted in with a handshake and after being properly checked by security I was instructed into there oreintation room. It was a painless verification process and although I had ocbc my compadre had medicann and his sf card and was able to get verification painless as well. The staff was courteous and they seemed like they were eager to get to helping me.

Med selection:

About 15 different varieties (could be more)

8ths range from $50-60 donation and they have some great concentrates as well. I purchased some Intensive care granddady Purple that was topnotch both in curing and effect.The jarred meds they sell are all sealed and weigh 3.5 grams (checked on my scale at home)

They also had some killer sour deisel best i'd seen in a long time for 55 and some odd 5 purple strains,

For patients on a budget they had purple budlets wich were the same purple nugs they had just smaller for 30$ quite a deal if you ask me..

and for you edible fans they had the standard butter bros products and a couple extras Im sure once they get going they will have a lot more..

Overall Vibe:

Im glad they gave these people the permits to operate this faciltiy because they seem really decdicated to helping patients they have such a huge facility with holistic massage rooms, really nice clean bathrooms and the best part is that the counters. the counters are sort of magnified i guess in wich the buds are very visible and sit on nice glass plates wich are very visible unlike some places where you gotta bend down and get on your knees to look at whats in the bottom of the case.. The place really gives off a more medical vibe than most places and they had a kinda spiritual vibe that i dug in there..

overall Im glad that this place is the future of oaksterdam and I know once the secret gets out this place will be flooded with business..

bottom line:

If your in oakland this is the place..easy freeway access,good staff and most importantly good meds..

Welcome aboard and good luck with the new dispensary. You're getting pretty good reviews and seem like a fine asset for the local patients of Oakland.

I had room in the rotation for 3 adoptions (clones) and I was passing by Harborside and thought I'd drop in and see what's available. The racks were at about half capacity for clones, but there were still good selections. From memory they had:

Sour diesel (Quite a few of these)
Master Kush (Alot of cuts and dried bud too, running in the booth now)
OG Kush ( Quite a few)
Lambs Bread (next to the last one)
White Widow (A Few)
Cave (a few)


So I needed three so I got a Lambs Bread Mon, The OG Kush, and a Sour Diesel. Sour Diesel looks in the best shape, the lambs Bread doesn't look too bad for being next to the last one and the OG Kush looks a tad wimpy but that's how she grows. Clones were $12 each at Harborside.

They look healthy with no bugs but I hit these with Ed Rosenthal's "Zero Tolerance". Good for bugs and mildew, like neem and pleasant smelling. On young-uns I use it at 10%, and I use plain water before and after, I'll repeat in a few days. I'm using up some BC nutes for veg, even at 2/3rds strength it's still 900 ppm but the girls love it. As soon as their roots hit water they're off. I have them in a bottle garden ebb and flow, in grow rocks.

Purple Urkle or Purple Erkle Super melt hash at $60 a gram is pretty good medicine I must say. I was spreading it across a bowl on NYC Diesel and I got alot done today. No couchlock.

sweet dopey that lambsbreath is fantastic if its the real deal, but a bitch to manicure. I like to just trim off the big leaves and just throw the whole plant in the bubblebags, I prefer hash anyway. Thanks for the report

[mr. collieman]

hey dopey, what are the genetics on the lambs bread? i heard that's what Mr. MARLEY liked to smoke back in the day. can you give me the heads up on what the make-up is and what she likes to eat. is she a heavy yeilder and flowering time? thank you.

[Dopey Taylor]

She's a tough one to find info on, that Lambs Bread. Scrasppy supposedly has the real deal, but this cut looks really unique and is probably legit.

She's only vegged a couple weeks but she has very thin leaves, but rather bushy at this point. She's just slightly larger than the OG Kush cut purchased at the same time. I think she might have got a touch of powderey Mildew, I'm watching her closely. It's warm now but was pretty cool the last couple of weeks. She appears okay.

Hard to get info on this one. The strain guide barely has anything for this marijuana type. She's supposed to finish fast and grow spindly, they reccommend a fan to help bulk her up. She probably feeds light but she's in there with a bunch of gobblers so I'm feeding her heavy for a start up. No idea what yield will be, probably light, we'll see.

I think HS has more of these.

Its rumored that shes from the blue mountains of jamaica but has roots in africa. The term lambsbread is because the africans used to let lambs and kids(baby goat) eat the big water leaves and chew on the stems of their plants to girdle them. This allowed water but not nutes during the last few weeks so it was a way to cure them while they were still growing and it also turned some gold such as the famed malawi gold. I gotta say african sativas are special plants. I got a red congolese I cant wait to germinate. I will share soon!!

Lambs bread is a generic term used for the body of christ like the wafer in Catholicism. I have one but it isn't a pure Sativa like the Jamacan one is supposed to be. Either way, remember, Sativas take a looooong time indoorrrr..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

[mr. collieman]

either way, does anyone have a review of how the taste is? i'm willing to give it a go, but i think i'll wait until the winter when there's more down time to sit and chill a little more, 12 weeks will take up most of the winter so i think that will be the ideal time for me to take more notes and not be distracted by beers and bikini's! lol. thanks for the info guys.

[Dopey Taylor]

The strain guide here says Lamb Bread finishes fast, it must be true!
