The Botanist - Danbury (Med)

Having been one of the first patients to set foot into a medical dispensary in the state of Connecticut, I didn't expect much. And at first that's exactly what I got--a few grams of nameless shake for an exorbitant amount of money. BUT...it worked! The cannabis was GOOD and I was happy. The staff was compassionate, just as the sign says, not to mention kindred souls. I loved Angela D'Amico immediately. I had faith, so I waited. Within 6 months this dispensary did a complete 180. I was thrilled and amazed. The growers were on their 2nd or 3rd season and the product was getting better and better. Suddenly what was once shake turned into beautiful buds, then the vaping oils and edibles were introduced...and so on. More and more patients began showing up; people of all ages, races, income tax brackets with one thing in common: a desire to be healthy. Today this dispensary is, I would imagine, one of the BEST in the country for medical cannabis. Their inventory is amazing. These cutting-edge growers are constantly brainstorming new ways of treating peoples' pain and fulfilling patients' needs, and the know-how of the staff at the dispensary is there constantly to personally guide you through it. In just one year's time of using medical cannabis I am very pleased to say that my personal experience has been a wonderful and very highly successful one. My Crohn's disease is in full remission, my constant pain from DDD in my spine is under control, and somehow I have managed to lose 30 pounds of FAT from around my waist without dieting. Ahhh...the wonders of THC and CBD's. I would never know without the fine product provided by these guys. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Ive had my first bad experience at a dispensary out of 50/60 visits after just my fifth time here. I visited the first four or five times for recreational and had no issues. Preordered my first order the last visit a few days ago. Got two 1/8ths. Got home and did the “opening” and one jar was sealed but completely empty. I followed up immediately and was told they were “looking into it”. They had me send pictures which i did and i offered to come in and return the packaging immediately. Again, told they were “looking into it”. Well its been three days, no further follow up and they aren’t answering me any longer. Trust me i dont need the $40 im out but i wont be spending anymore here out of principal. It sucks driving the distance but MassAltCare sells $150 ounces on saturdays including the tax. Way better than spending $85 and getting an 1/8th and an empty jar

Every time I go to The Botanist I feel so welcome and happy. Everyone is so welcoming and knowledgeable. This last time we worked with a young gal named Rheaona who just couldn’t be more helpful! Other than them being out of stock a lot I have no complaints. The Botanist really is a great asset to Danbury ☺️

This is my medical dispensary. I've been there three times so far. The lobby area is a bit small, but well apportioned for 6-8 customers to wait their turn. It's nicely decorated and comfortable. A large TV has their current menu rotating through, and there are also a couple iPad's available for this as well. The pharmacist I first met was really great. I knew nothing about Cannabis (still learning!) but she went slow and talked me through all my options. No sense of rushing me through it. I definitely recommend this location if you're new to medical cannabis (or perhaps soon legal for recreation!) If I had to mention one drawback is that the prices are a bit high. I only know this from conversations I struck up with others in the waiting lobby. They had legally purchased in other states and most of those were less expensive. I suspect this is more related to MM being fairly new to CT and legal growers are still limited in numbers. I'm hoping that if (when) this is legalized that the supply will increase in relation to demand, and prices will drop.
