Peninsula Alternative Health - Silver Spring

Waited nearly 40 minutes for curbside pickup. It was only until minute 20 that someone came to get my card and cash. Another 10 minutes go by, nothing. Manager finally comes out to say MD's system is down (despite me seeing at least 7 patients come and go with their products after I pulled up). Why not communicate that from the first time I called to let you know that I arrived for pickup???

My absolute favorite dispensary! Budtenders are very nice and knowledgeable! You can’t be the specials and location! Check them out today!

They typically sell Verano eighths for $53. I got an alert today that they were having a $10 off flash sale on Verano flower. The online menu said $50. This math didn't make sense because if the discount was already reflected online, it should say $43, so I called to confirm. The guy says the online price is the discounted price. I said, but your regular price for Verano is $53. He tried to dispute and say their regular price is $60. BS! I pulled up my receipts to be sure I am not crazy. Since I got my card in the summer, Verano has always been $53 and when they have their 20% off happy hour sales, it's $42.40. Service used to be amazing here but this past Sunday they had me waiting over thirty minutes and then tried to tell me my order was 20% higher than it was supposed to be. It's bad enough medical cannabis is so expensive... to feel like you're getting taken advantage of by a dispensary sucks! I'm not sure what's going on over there, but something is off or has changed recently and it's not good. I tried to send this to their customer support/feedback on their website, but it appears there is no such thing. 🤷‍♀️

Their prices & stock between the two Mission stores have gotten progressively better. Rockville used to be my favorite till Glenmont's stock has gotten more diverse. I love Curio products & they have some of their latest strains that others don't. I got an eighth of Grow West's Cough OG that was packaged so beautifully, wrapped in cellophane with a humidity preserver that made opening it a wonderful sensory experience. The eighth was mostly one big bud with several tight buds rounding it out. And it was on sale, if I had known it was that good I would have bought more. I've been going there over a year & I'd ignore some of the reviews that talk about non-competitive prices. I've had the same experience at first & only bought things on sale. Then they started rivaling their Rockville branch in having the things I want. They're also receptive when I ask about something I've found at another dispensary, they are a good crew.
