The Budtenders at Divine Kind are called "patient care representatives." This is the place you'll send your mature relatives and friends who want a professional experience when they shop for medicine. With a private parking lot, lots of natural light in every room, and a no-nonsense glass display counter, this is the destination for grown-up stoners. Don't worry, though: The psychedelic art provided by a patient keeps the atmosphere warm and familiar. The two locations have near-identical inventories, but head to the eastside for wilder edible options like a microwaveable pizza. It's a simple, efficient selection of 20 or so strains and a handful of other products, but the producers are all renowned names of consistent quality. Nelson & Company Organics flower is available, as well as 1859 concentrates and Lunchbox Alchemy edibles/crumble. Divine Kind offers one of the few student discounts in town, as well as a 10 percent discount on any item during the daily happy hour.

Willamette Week’s reporting has concrete impacts that change laws, force action from civic leaders, and drive compromised politicians from public office.
