The Botanist - Worcester (Med)
1/4/2019
So, just got back from my first time visit and have a couple pieces of feedback to share with the community. I will likely review this location again once they release their own flower strains, but for now here we are.
First, this place is absolutely beautiful and incredibly easy to find. I love that patriot care is 2 seconds off of the highway in lowell, and this is almost even closer to the highway.
Second, the pricing structure has GOT to go. I understand that the Botanist is a company, has to keep all the lights on (a lot of fancy lights to set ambience in the lobby/main floor) but as a patient I felt like I was crazy for being frustrated with the prices. Right now their pricing is based off the packaging, so you buy an eighth in an 1/8 package you pay 50, if you buy a quarter of the same weed its 90, but if they are out of that strain in quarters, you would have to pay 100 for the same quarter in the form of 2 eighth containers. To me that's disgusting and a pure attempt to make money.
I know some dispensaries don't let you mix and match in the beginning when they first open, but in a market that is becoming increasingly saturated I am likely to visit locations that have their own product and provide pricing structures that benefit the patient. Almost every other dispensary is willing or able to combine VARIOUS strains for quarter/half/ounce discounts, and for that reason I will continue to go to other dispensaries until change occurs here.
Oh yeah, the flower, from ACS, pretty good cornbread and mendo breath but was only able to get an 1/8 of each due to them only having 1/8 containers and not quarters.
