OUR PRODUCTS
Are the same strains always on the menu?
Our menu changes based on what our vendors have available to us. While some vendors choose to grow and provide certain strains consistently, others enjoy versatility. We always strive to provide flowers of the utmost quality. As such, we provide our patients with the best quality flowers available to us, whether that’s flowers we frequently carry or superb new strains.
Do you do special orders?
We are not able to provide special quantities of flowers. Similarly, we are unable to supply bulk orders of flowers or products directly from our vendors. If you are interested in any other type of special order, feel free to contact our phone operators with your specific request, which we are happy to fulfill when possible.
I bought something that didn’t get me high etc. Can I get a refund for what I didn’t use?
Unfortunately we cannot accept returns on opened flowers or products unless there was a specific defect. State law requires we destroy any medicine returned to us. Therefore, we can only accept defective products for store credit or exchange. Medicating with cannabis requires some trial and error, as it is a product of nature and grown in varied conditions. We recommend ordering smaller amounts of unfamiliar products and keeping a journal to track your experience with each product you try.

Under California law, yes. Sespe Creek Collective is a CA registered C-corporation operating in strict compliance with California laws. We have a valid permit from the City of Ojai, and our State License (number C10-0000028-LIC) allows us to sell cannabis for both medical and adult use (Recreational).
Cannabis is still federally illegal.
