I have been going here since the day they opened. I have spent thousands of dollars over the years with them and I can without a doubt claim they are the worst dispensary possibly ever but at times they do have some serious chronic and its worth going in that disaster of a club to get specific strains if your a connoisseur.
RasMike below claims hummingbird is the second best when they are literally the best club North of Mendocino, unfortunately they have just closed their doors because they are moving locations in the next few months.

For the last 6 months the Sai Center has had maybe if your lucky 1 good strain to purchase. I have had to walk out of there on numerous occasions. Although last time HBird closed for a few months many of their suppliers were forced to go to SaiCenter so they should start caring better strains in the following months until HBird reopens.
If you dont want to deal with them HPRC and THC are right around the corner and usually have at least 1 good strain and are very speedy as well.
The truth is grower/suppliers dont want to deal with the Owner of Saicenter/iCenter(Whatever they are calling themselves these days) due to his history of Shady practices and lack of compassion.

PLEASE BELIEVE THIS POST! I know reviews are always mixed but I swear to you this place is pure evil. On top of having crappy meds, this owner could not give a shit about his business or customers. He forces his mom to do everything and she doesn't know anything about marijuana whether it is about growing it or the finished product. Unfortunately my friend consigned over 100 clones to them. They wrote out a contract for it and everything. The Sai Center did not water or transplant the clones and killed them all. Then they offered to pay less then 25% of the original price agreed on. How does this make any sense? It doesn't. Please, don't support a business that doesn't give two shits about you.

I been goin to the place for years and heres the scoop.
Steve is a stubborn but very cool bro. who has stood up against this psudo liberal city gov. for along time.

Hes got the best selection of meds in the county with the hummingbird being second.

Yes, he has slacked on the atmosphere element but he is remodeling so hopefully that will improve.

my biggest complaint is that he serves the meds. out the original bags vendors bring so toward the end of each bag he ends up with a lot of smaller roughed up meds. I have asked him to get jars and work on handling but he wont listen.

Counter folks are super cool and easy on the eyes:)

If you want the bomb , this is the spot. usually between 10-20 flaves and some good keif n hash. Cloes are kinda iffy, lots of mites sometimes. hprc is the spot for those.

Do need more counter attendants....and a little soothing music .....thats it.

OH MAN!!!!!These posts are classic!! Anywho..... The Sai Center/iCenter shall have an unbias review. The meds are bomb and the concentrates are VERY affordable and aMAZinG quality. I find the house strains are typically not cured correctly and buds crumble too easily. Flushed perfect tho. Price is ok...better than socal bullshit.

This place is absolute bullshit. "Sai," as he calls himself, is a total sleaze, the club always looks like a mess, and you can tell he doesn't give a damn about the health aspects of the herb. It's about making money for him, and he seems to get off by lying and cheating people. I've been in a few times, but the workers were so rude that I didn't even want to spend a dime in there. There was one dude who was nice, but the clones they had were garbage, full of pm and mites. If you want to go to a dispensary in Arcata, go to HPRC. They actually care about their patients, and routinely help people with whatever they can. I've never had a bad experience there!

Horrible club..there is greed all over that place...been there 6 or 8 times never 2 return....looks like they take a lot of students parents money...its a bad seen I give them 6 months

The quality is def superior to any of the other places, I get the feeling they are trying to improve since they moved because I have had better experiences since they moved. I had this blue dragon this week that was really good, and since they moved I can stop by after I get groceries at the coop

sucks that they import medicine into humboldt from eastern counties.
Hear thay are closed now. owner ripped off too many employees.
go to the next block, the club by the post office is the best and $215 per oz for high quality bud.

I have heard so many things about this place and the few times I have been in, I will have to admit that I received various experiences. The meds are outstanding for sure, the staff usually pretty helpful, they do have some bad days apparently but don't we all. The OG strains are absolutely worth what ever you have to deal with. Give them a try, hopefully you'll hit them on a good day.

This place is a joke. If you ever go there, you'll see why.

It is hard to maneuver around Arcata at times with the traffic but the kushs found in this place will be worth it if you have to walk. I loved it absolutely killer. It was a nice friendly helpful staff that will assist you in finding just what you might be dreaming of.

Hit this spot when we go to Arcata, it has awesome product and the prices are real cool. I like the girls there they are real nice. And it is a perfect spot for choosing great bud for a great price. If you are in the Arcata area you should really slip over and give this place a try. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Me and my family love this dispensary and go to it every single time we travel to the coast and enjoy the redwoods along the way. It have extremely top grade buds and clones. I find that they also seem to get a very unique selection. I think it may be the fact they do not have much other dispensary any where near them. But whatever the reason may be if you are looking for a particular strain I would recommend you give these guys a call, they are very nice and will help you answer any questions you may have. The location is perfect and its a very nice drive to get there.

The traffic in that area is a real nightmare. But with a short trip to Arcata I was recommended to give this place a try. They really had some of the best killer bud I've ever tried in my life. spent a great amount of time in the motel room crashed, but was kind of on a vacation so it was a good thing. Needed the utter chill time it gave me. I'd love to visit them again and recommend if you have the chance look them up the emerald triangle strands are absolutely phenomenonal.

Exceptional medication! The staff made me feel warm and welcomed. The two beautiful young ladies that hepled me were knowledgable and polite. Was able to get some grade a++ master kush and og kush... fair prices all in all A+++!
