Mankind

I've been to quite a few dispensaries over the years, and this one left a pretty good impression. The staff was friendly without being pushy, which I appreciated. They took a few minutes to answer my questions and pointed me toward products that actually fit what I was looking for instead of just recommending the most expensive options. The store was clean, well organized, and had a relaxed atmosphere. Checkout was quick and easy too. Everything I picked up was fresh and exactly as described. Defintely a place I'd feel comfortable returning to when I'm in the area again.

I had an outstanding experience at Mankind, and I truly want to recognize the entire team for their professionalism and customer care. Every employee I interacted with was welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making sure I had a positive experience. A special thank you to Dariush, who went above and beyond. He took the time to thoroughly educate me on a specific topic, answered all my questions with patience, and made thoughtful product suggestions tailored to my needs. His professionalism and expertise really stood out and made a lasting impression. It’s clear that this team values customer service and takes pride in what they do. I highly recommend Mankind to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, respectful, and professional environment.

This place is the best in San Diego hands-down. Andrew really helped me out I believe he's one of the Managers here. He went above and beyond these guys have great product they always have inventory stocked and they are so nice if you haven't been here you need to go here forget everyone else thanks again guys!

10/10 first timers, great experience! Dariush was awesome!! Super knowledgeable, hospitable, and kind! We came in looking for one thing but talking with him led us to an even better product. We will come back just because he was so great, highly recommend.

I’ve been a regular customer at Mankind for sleep aid products for quite some time. Wyld has always been my preferred option, but it has been out of stock for months. Each time I visited, I asked when it would be available again and was told that no one had it in stock, that was the first lie. However, after contacting Wyld directly, I learned that other dispensaries in the area are actually well stocked. Unfortunately, during my visit tonight, even my second-choice product was also OUT-OF-STOCK. The shelves appeared sparse, with only one or two items spread out to give the impression of inventory. Another customer nearby experienced the same issue when she opened the refrigerator to find her product was out of stock as well. We both commented that we may need to look elsewhere. I asked one employee if he ever passed on the gripes to ownership? He said they wouldn't listen to them. He said "hey I got a job." But he did say they field complaints on a regular basis. At this point, most of the sleep aid options seem to be gone and replaced with a lower-quality alternative. Employees have also mentioned that these shortages began after new ownership took over about six months ago, and the latest explanation is that new buyers have recently been hired, I don't believe a word of it. It’s disappointing, as maintaining consistent stock is essential for customer trust and loyalty. Based on my recent experiences, I would recommend checking the website for stock or considering other dispensaries to avoid the same frustration. I was just told you can check stock on the website before driving down.
