The Botanist - Williamstown (Med)

I started using this location about a year and a half ago. The staff has always been professional and knowledgable about most strains. The quality of the products by each grower I've used, have also exceeded my expections and can only be described as somewhat of a Godsend for my medical conditions. Generally speaking, the atmosphere on any given day can change and I've seen this place packed with people or a ghost town, however, for medical use patients the process is usually swift. Parking can also sometimes be an issue due to the locations small lot but can easily be avoided if you don't mind a short walk around the building.. just watch for traffic... All in all a great location to shop at! js

Buds are great. Prices are ridiculous, especially for medical patients. Also if you plan on going a specific day for a better price because of a discount, good luck. The Botanist never has any discounts. They create absolutely no incentive for the customer to purchase their product but rather sit in disgust at how much you have to pay for weed legally. Also the staff seem to be left completely out of the loop. When asked general questions about pricing and availability on strains, they’ve left me with more questions.

I lived on the west coast for years and its amazing how far behind NJ is in the game. Unless you've been to a real marijuana dispensary, you wouldn't know. In Vegas, you go to the dispensary and get way more budtenders, way way more selection, way better cultivators and product, vendors handing out stuff like free lighters to free shirts to promote their brands. You get tiers with everything from $20 1/8ths to 2 for $20 gummies. In Jersey, you get like 3 or 4 budtenders with 3 or 4 weed products. Like what is small bud and big bud? Never heard of that. The gummies by verano are garbage. The reward system is wack. The prices are profit-driven with no specials or sales ($100 for 2 1/8ths). What happened to Quarters? (oh, you make more by selling individual 1/8ths, right) The hours are better now, but was a disaster at first because the cultivators that signed the contracts didnt know how to scale their growth and cant meet demand and the owners didnt anticipate that cause they dont know weed, they just have the money to start up the business. Jerseys dispensaries are ass. Hopefully that changes when they make money the first year and can start scaling their business. The best one I've been to so far is Botanist in Williamstown. It doesnt say much, but it's my choice for now.

I've been here a few times & I have to day that my overall experiences have been really good. I prefer Verano flower & The Botanist always has a good selection from them to choose from. It is also located in the same town that I live in. I'll be coming here for a long time.
