The Healing Community MEDCo — Local services in Lewiston

I am an out of state patient from MA with a medical card. Over the past year I have been to Medco several times, and each time was superb. Medco has excellent prices, a WIDE variety of strains (both past & current) and great customer service. The bud I have gotten from them (I always buy their top shelf bud and occasionally, their mid shelf) has always had a super strong smell, a nice appearance and was sticky. The strains I have tried would burn slow and even. I do not remember all of the strains I have purchased from them, but just to name a few-blue dream, blue dream haze, super lemon haze, sundae driver, green crack, strawberry glue, grape pupil, purple diesel, Girl Scout cookies, Bruce Banner, bubblegum, wedding cake, blue zkittles, gg#4, rug burn og & strawberries and cream.

One thing that drives me nuts when I read reviews on here, is when I read 'troll reviews.' I call them this because I can tell they are fake reviews or are reviews motivated by something other than the product they received. For example, maybe a customer goes to a store and does like the product, but they didn't like the person who helped them, or they are mad that the strains always run out or they are jealous that people from other states can come up and buy it. So, what they do is, they write a review not based on the actual product, but based on subjectivity and their emotions. Looking over some of the recent negative reviews of Medco, I could tell they were JUST that. For example, a man named "Tim" complained that Medco was selling to out of state patients illegally, saying that once they crossed the state line, it was against the law. THIS IS FALSE. Last June, Maine basically developed "reciprocity" with other states, including mine, which means MA patients are legally allowed to travel to Maine to get their medication AND drive home with it.

Another reviewer complained about Medco's bud and called it moldy and trashy. No details were mentioned--not the strain, not the shelf it came from. Well, in that case it appears that they probably bought a sale strain from them. People, a sale strain is JUST that-- a SALE. You can't think you are going to pay $110 or $125 for an ounce of bud and are going to get top shelf bud--you are not. Their sale bud isn't bad, but it's not top shelf. People should be grateful that they even have THIS OPTION though. Most places don't sell ounces for less than $200--so to have a cheaper option, whether you are low on funds, or u would just like to bake with, is such a nice option to have. In MA where I live, regular ounces do not go for less than like $300 in most medical stores. And the crazy thing is, a lot of MA bud is not that great. The medicine I have gotten in MA dispensaries has often had little smell and was dry. In MA, I do not have the option TO SEE or TO SMELL the bud before I get it, which I do not like at all because then I have no idea what Im going to get! Also, due to Covid many stores in MA stayed with just doing "pick ups" and have still not opened to the public. The main issue with this is, when covid happened, their menus were TERRIBLE. And I don't mean with WHAT they offered but with their prices. For example, the cost of an eighth was/is $50--but that is ALL they offered. Meaning, if you wanted to buy a quarter, you had to buy 2 eighths ($100), or if you wanted to buy an ounce you had to buy 8 eighths ($400) which is absolute insanity.

At least at Medco, you can SEE and SMELL the bud they are offering to you. And you can know its fresh because they are CONSTANTLY getting new strains in daily. For the most part, strains are not sitting around at Medco. I'm sure their sale strains do though, because that's the nature of sale strains. But in the past when I have called Medco, they could get a strain in on one day, and be gone the next night. That's why I ALWAYS call BEFORE I head to their store. Do not just rely on their menu--call ahead.

Lastly, Medco has deals everyday of the week & 3 days a week you can get a top shelf ounce for a little over $150 with tax.You CAN NOT...

If you’re thinking about going here don’t hesitate! My husband and I come from MA, we travel almost 3 hours to get to Medco. It’s a pain and a long ride believe me I know but it’s worth it! They do it how it should be done! Very nice and educated bud tenders, the prices are how they should be done! I know some Maine residents get annoyed when out of state people come to get our stuff but I’m not sure if they know how MA charges us? One OZ you most likely will pay 400 for. They usually sell it only by 8ths and 50$ all the way up. (400 an Oz) and that’s not right! They’re literally making a ridiculous amount of money off of everyone. And for what? They made it legal so now were classed as a medical necessity finally!! But why are they charging us prices that a dealer on the street who doesn’t like you would charge? It makes absolutely no sense. So we come to Maine, that has A MILLION DISPENSARIES and honestly most are really good!!! We’re not going to take all of the weed we just want to share it with you guys! 🙂 and here at Medco they’re happy to share it with you!!! They have a limit of 2 1/2 ounces per customer per every 15 days. I got my 2 and 1/2 ounces and it was my first time so I got 80$ off and only paid 380$ for two and a half ounces of fire bud!!!! WE STAN MAINE!!!!! THANK YOU GUYS!!!!!

Also GREAT edibles!!!!

P.S. they also have a nice little store across the way and like 7 more within a...

I'm giving a 4 star review because every other time I've gone, I've loved it. Great customer service, knowledgeable staff. However today I checked out strains online before going because I was short on time and when it was my turn I told the staff member what strains I wanted and was told they were out of both and the website isn't kept up to date very well... So I shifted to see their board and make a choice when that gentleman took the person behind me rather than give me a minute to make my decision! I was put off by that and had to wait another 5 or so minutes before it was my turn again. I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt and say the person who helped me was new? He didn't seem to know what was going on, took forever to weigh it out, and didn't apply the discount I was entitled to despite cutting into the card I gave him to say the discount was used 🤦 I've never had a problem there before today. Honestly whenever I'm asked or I talk to my friends about going to dispensary's, I always say MedCo is my favorite! Clean place, you can watch people make stuff in their lab, they have various strains under magnification so you can get a good look at em and they're usually quick to get people in and...
