First State Compassion Center - Lewes

I've been frequenting this dispensary since I moved to Delaware 4 years ago, and it's been on a steady decline ever since. They can never crack more than 23% THC on their best day (if you're a numbers person). They make you place an order before getting to the window (some people like to talk with their budtenders before placing orders 🤷‍♀️), and sales are nonexistent!! They expect people to want to buy 8 eighths of subpar weed?!? And yes, the front-of-the-house staff can be rude at times! It is the quality for me that is really upsetting because anyone will tell you this weed grinds up like dust! If you insist on using that packaging, please use a Boveda packet. You sure charge for them! Please get it together; our options are limited in Sussex, and we're just gonna drive to MD.

First State Compassion is the number one medical dispensary in Delaware. They have top quality products at reasonable prices, and the staff are super kind. I’d highly recommend FSC Lewes for those in Sussex county DE. They also have a location in New Castle county Wilmington for those who are upstate. Definitely worth checking out if you haven’t been there yet. They can even help to explain the process of applying for a card, and pretty soon recreational sales should begin for those willing to wait a few more months. Thank you First State Compassion for living up to your name. Much Love and Appreciation!!

I am very disappointed with the white colored In House Disposable Vape pens. I have recently on different visits purchased 4 of them in total. I use medical marijuana for pain control yet I'm sitting here unable to use the medicine I purchased. These Vapes all 4 have clogged either when low, half way, or full. I had to take one back several times to get unclogged and they resolved that issue with that one but the rest are so clogged it isn't funny. I spent a lot of money on my medicine to not be able to use it. I am on a very tight budget and most of time I can only get one or two things of medicine each month. I can't afford to run back every other time I use it to get unclogged. I live over 45min away so I am now sitting here with medicine I can't use. 4 of them as a matter of fact sitting here useless don't buy these disposable pens they clog constantly. Now I'm broke with no way to use my med cause I can't afford to buy another to just waste my money on it. Don't buy the In House White Disposable Pens you will just waste your money. Now I have to suffer until 3rd of month before I can get something to replace it with to control my pain. Highly disappointed!!!!!

This place wouldn’t still be open if there were any competition in the marijuana business. Overpriced, weak product. They treat their clients like crap and they’re disorganized. Too cheap to have a payment system that works, so they use Venmo, which doesn’t even work half the time. Huge fail. I used to go in weekly. Not going back ever.

Horrible place! STAY AWAY! Their flowers sucks their half gram carts are not half grams they arnt even full it’s a complete ripoff! Go to any other place! The management are racist holing orders for certain people and not for others!! Raising prices that have been the same for a year and not tell anyone! So when I show up to buy the prices are jacked up ! They are the greediest of them all! Stay away!

The bud tenders here are friendly and they always make sure they lookout for there customers

Same thing every day

Staff are always friendly and nice , just need some better bud options more consistently !! Still the best option in Sussex county!

Informative and resourceful attendees Much love and needed support services every time

I am a client at the Lewes location. Sometimes when I go in I am nervous because I have PTSD. The staff at the Lewes location are always nice, and they talk to me and make sure I'm ok. They go beyond, I was at the counter and the woman reminded me that I had a discount. I really appreciated this. Peace and Much Love.

This is a great dispensary. The selection and quality of all their products- particularly, the edibles are excellent. Prices are very fair and I like their loyalty program.

This is my favorite DE dispenser! Amazing staff, friendly and helpful

Inconsistent inventory, super long wait times at certain times, have heard staff talking about patients in past. Prefer the other local options.

These guys know what they are talking about and the quality is always top notch. Big fan!

Security is a little weird but overall staff are super helpful and friendly. I’ve been super happy with all the flower I’ve gotten from the lewes location, stay away from the in-house vapes, but the carts are great. Most affordable and best quality in de.

I became a medical patient and this dispensary has helped me a great deal. It’s got a lot of space, would love to see repurposing of that waiting room. THC lounge one day perhaps. The security is Ridiculous

I've been to First State up near Wilmington. They used to have a reputation for surly service. I think they transferred the surly folks down to Lewes. The place is hard to find, not good signage. The "guard" is kinda wonky... While I waited for my order, I walked around, checking out stuff on the walls, and he came over to tell me to wait "over there". I went over there, and he pointed to a spot 4 feet from me, THAT'S where I'm supposed to wait. In their defense, there were a few nice people I encountered, but damn, they should ALL be nice, I am their bread and butter! Their website said to pull up outside, and they would come serve me. That's no longer the case. Thank goodness I'm only down here for a week!

Kylie and one other woman there are helpful. Don't expect to get what you ordered. They do not hold your online order for you, and more often than not, the medicine is not the same THC levels as labeled on the website. They say they are friendly towards Veterans, but when I drive an hour each way in beach traffic to get my meds they do not have what I ordered. Delaware is behind the curve once again. They hardly ever have amounts over 1/4 so they can make as much money as possible. Don't waste your money on a card.

Friendly staff that’s always willing to help. Clean facility. Easy in and out. Good selection and pricing. Very happy during every visit.

Love the products hate the wait outside in line.

Waiting on line to buy my medicine

After 2:00 stop in for all the CBD products you can imagine..... topicals too. That’s all you’ll get, so if you like THC save yourself the trip & aggravation!

Nice open waiting area once in. Time-consuming when only two people at a time are allowed in the entrance area to be scanned by security. Friendly people but always feel like being rushed. Always out of things, when having to drive a distance to get there it is frustrating that they don't have the strains they show on their site. It would be nice if they had Leafly so an order can be placed online of what they do have available and less time is spent in the dispensary. I will go again only because it is the only dispensary in my area in Delaware.

Nice clean and friendly. Flowers are good quality although I did find several seeds in a few bags. Speaking of bags... would be nice if it wasn't all pre measured eighths. larger quantities would be nice and weighed to order in front of you would be even better! But overall a good experience and I will buy here again.
