The Botanist Wickliffe Dispensary — Local services in Wickliffe

(Rest of review on Facebook )So I have tried this place out about three times and for a medicinal facility it is very mediocre. The product that’s being sold is not what I’m used to. I believe all medical facilities should perform and have product that is ALWAYS adequate for all there patients. Don’t even get me started on pricing. I’ve never seen such absolute horrible&cheap child proofing(for all products)! I would like to First and foremost give a great thank you to whomever the security dude is at the front with the tattoos. His energy is always great (the 3x I’ve come in ) 2nd I’d like to just give you guys some words of advise. If a customer comes in with a complaint or constructive criticism..... LISTEN!!! LISTEN !!!! LISTEN!!!!! It’s advice for you to discuss with your higher up on how to better your facility. Look at your patients with respect and dignity. Your job is not to prove you are smart about “Weed” it’s to pay attention. Let’s talk about PRODUCT! Flower, concentrates and syringe/pen atomizers. So the “Botanist” with a name like this you should have the best of the best when it comes to flower ? Yet all the flower I have purchased has all been “Meh” 😑? They sell cannabis by the 10th and it can very from a 2.8-3.3g now just an example, I purchased a 10th of the grapefruit sour flour they had for sale. It contained about a 3.3 g worth of flour and then I went to another dispensary (A competitor not the same) And purchase the same grapefruit sour (that only contained a 2.8 g) Significantly there were two huge factors one the yield of concentrates that one put off versus the other and two the quality. Now the 3.3 g of grapefruit sour from the botanist yielded about a .6g of rosin and the grapefruit sour from the competitor which had less flour( a 2.8 g ) yielded a .9 of rosin and everything was different texture of concentrate, smell and even the medicinal effects. Anybody would wonder why is my cannabis different if they should both be meeting the standards of medicinal cannabis? It makes one think “Could there could be pesticides, Was it flushed incorrectly or maybe through the curing process Someone cut some corners corners.”Unfortunately I could not finish this review I have to go to the dispensary before they close I’ll update a little laterUPDATE 10/13/2020 So my post has gotten some questions and I’m here to answer publicly. If you have any questions I’m here to answer with the best of my knowledge. I’m not a doctor or physician so everything I write/Answer is just an opinion or a hypothesis of mine. With that being said back to the review. I went back to this facility for my entire prescription( over $1000.00 spent on mediocre (probably not approved by the cdc and fda) cannabis. Also after I had posted my review I figured maybe someone from the Botanist would have conversed with his or her employees how to take customers feed back. That was not the case because I stepped into this facility after I had asked my bud tender for a recommendation HE HAS HAD A GOOD EXPERIENCE WITH THAT COULD BE COMPARABLE TO THE AIROPRO VAPE CARTRAGES? Not one second of hesitation went in his mind and he immediately pointed to this GG Ben leaves cartridge! His body language seemed as if he knew anything and everything about it, but he said I would love it. Mind you the airopro vape carts are 70-60$ never any discounts ! And this Ben leaves product was $40 and tax obviously. I know this is America and you get what you pay for, but I’ve never in my life of medicating have I ever seen a facility with such disgusting over priced medicine in my life. This BEN LEAves product needs to be banned by the people of Ohio for pesticides, expired glycerin(bonding agent)/wax liqidizer! Please do not invest in a company who is squeezing 3g of flower and selling the .9 of rosin to a investor and then taking that chip(left over almost decarboxylated peace of cannabis) and they extract the left over and make more money by adding that disgusting burnt tasteless medicine inside a cartridge that coast less than .50 to...

I bought eight products online for pickup and after picking them up I realized that all the product info online was incorrect. If the employees are also using the same filter system to choose products, which I bet they are, then they are dispensing products based on incorrect info. 6 items I purchased were listed as having a higher CBD content, none of them do and only two of them even have CBD in them at all, which is completely different than what the website description said. Another one of the products isn't even the correct strain, it's a completely different one just a similar name. But the parentage is completely different. I wouldn't return to this dispensary for this reason. Hoping I'll be able to return some of these products since the information was incorrect, and since they won't work for me. I'm very disappointed and I feel like my time has been wasted not to mention my money. Because what the heck am I gonna do with a bunch of herb that only has 20% THC and nothing else?? When I called to point out the issue I was connected to a centralized call center for the botanist, but the rep didn't take my concerns seriously at all. Called back a second time and am trying to work this out without wasting hours more of my time. EDIT : spoke to the manager of this location. No resolution is possible. The only thing they were able to offer was a discount on future purchases.

Their logic was that because of the laws they can't return returned product back into circulation. And also that, legally, some tolerance for variation and composition is accepted in cannabis products. (i'm too busy right now to research and do all the calculations to find out if all the products I bought within these tolerances of variation) But that sounds more like a them problem than a me problem. I don't think it's a good explanation for not taking the products back. These outfits make enough money they can eat a little loss. Next step is to contact the info at botanist about email about the issue, and try to talk to someone higher up with the botanist. And I'm going to contact the attorney general of ohio because I think that especially the one product that is not even the correct product that should give me some leverage for confronting the inappropriateness of this situation.

I'm so tired of companies that do the absolute bare minimum when it comes to...

I took a day off to exploring the two dispensaries open closest to me. The Forest in Sandusky and The Botanist in Wickliffe. Both stores were new and clean inside. The Forest had a free standing green building that was easy to find and the Botanist didn't have much of a sign so I ended up driving past it. Both had minimalist kind of lobby. The Forest had a glass window much like a doctor's office and the Botanist I was greated by people at a desk who were friendly. I prefer the latter. The process was simple and quick. At the Botanist I had a paper menu with quantity, strains, prices, thc and cbd content, and it was all pretty cool. The Forest didn't have anything available for us. No samples to see and no lists aside from the one on the wall. Prices are pretty high right now but the Botanist gives a 25% veterans discount. Both places had delicious smelling flowers and I know they will be enjoyed...(not by me, I'm the caregiver) Even without the discount I'd still prefer the The Botanist. I'm sure things will get better with time and I don't want to be negative because I just legally bought...
