How to Leave a Useful Dispensary or Retail Store Review on Leafly

Rachel Chambers August 8, 2013

Did you love your dispensary experience? Want to tell others about the great service or fantastic inventory they carry? Do you have some feedback or pointers for other patients and consumers? You should post a review of the dispensary on Leafly! It’s a great way to say thank you to a dispensary and to let others know what to expect. Here are some tips on how to leave a useful dispensary review:

1. Be Polite

Don’t post personal details or make assumptions about a business or its staff. This is a public resource and cannabis can still be a sensitive subject, so try and respect others’ privacy. We understand that not every dispensary experience is positive and we don’t discourage negative reviews, but there’s no reason to get nasty!

Don’t write reviews full of offensive language or all caps rants. We want to maintain a high quality of content on our site. Use your words to offer constructive criticism, not meanness.

Don’t pick fights. If you don’t like what someone else has to say, write your own review instead of calling someone out because you disagree with him or her.

2. Be On-Point

Keep tangents to a minimum and stick to reviewing the dispensary and its offerings. We know getting good cannabis can be inspiring, but you don’t need to use your review to air your thoughts about marijuana in general, or use it as a platform to rant about running into the guy from high school you hated at your favorite dispensary

3. Be Honest

Your opinion is what matters. The more you share about the shop, the service and the products available, the more informed we can all be. Did you think the place could use a little sprucing up? Or did you really dig the artwork they had on the walls? We want to know and so do other potential visitors! Feel free to say thank you to budtenders or let them know how they can improve. Reviews that simply say “Good!” or “I didn’t like it” aren’t very helpful. The more details you can provide about your experience, the better!

That’s it! Now you’re ready to tell patients, consumers, and Leafly fans all about your latest experience at a dispensary. When you hit ‘save’, you should see your review appear on our site once it has been approved. Thanks for being a part of the Leafly community!

Hello recently me and my friend have went into Tumblir Weed in Edwards Co. First Off I just want to say that the customer service was terrible! I have been working in the hospitality industry for over 10 years now and have never been treated this way when i have walked into a dispensary. I am a local and i do have my med card. My friend bought from there store multiple times with his Permanent Resident Card. According to the state law it has to be a US government issued ID. My friend went in this evening and they turned him away. On top of that he was treated very bad! I called to complain to the manager and was in shock, that I was on the phone with the manager very unprofessional, so I asked to speak to the manager above him he put me on hold. Than he comes back on the phone and says oh my regional manager is here Im thinking ok am I even really talking to the manager. The regional manager was of no help to me and hung up the phone on me when i asked for his boss’s name and number.

Purlife in Albuquerque NM disappointing. Expensive, ineffective strains.
Ed Wright

I just received my AZ med card and visited Green Pharms in Mesa. This is a great store. Very clean and well organized, the people and so nice. Lyndon waited on me and she was great. She was knowledgeable, funny, and kind; answered all my questions and made great suggestions. I will be returning here soon and often.
Vince Carroll

I’m Very Happy with the “Green Lion” store on Hwy 30 in St. Helens Ore. They’re nice, clean, and professional in a very easy and laid back atmosphere that’s in a Great location to boot! Good Job!
scott stevens

I have tried dispensaries all over Colorado. Highland Health in Trinidad, Co. is hands down the best I’ve ever dealt with…..thank you Highland Health!!!!
Elle Stanger

I’ve been a rec patient in Oregon since it was legalized, and my favorite dispensary is Medigreen Collective. The staff is friendly and always has a sense of humor that seems very genuine and candid. Natalie is my preferred budtender, and I can tell her exactly what kind of effects I’m wanting and she knows what to recommend. I hope this dispensary and it’s associates stick around!
isaac Jennings

The Hemp and Wellness Centre in Vernon is a well organized establishment.They have an extensive selection and friendly staff.I especially like their selection of sleep aides..I hope they expand to Salmon arm!
Dan Ramey

Jimmy Carnelli

I love visiting Herbal Pain Relief Center because everyone there is so nice and very helpful! The Store is in Mission Hills and even though I live a bit of a distance it is always worth the time.
melidasibrian

The service in Metro Cannibis is beyond excellent ! The girl was so sweet. And the strains were perfect. Prices were better than ever.
James Androl

I have to admit that I have never experienced service or bud quality (or any product they have) from Oasis Medical Dispensary. The people there are very knowledgeable, and have the utmost respect for their clients. It is a laid back environment with prices on par or lower. They always remember you when you walk in the door. I would highly recommend Oasis to Everyone. It was good to see everyone there last night.This evening, I attended an event at Oasis. I finally managed to have the pleasure of meeting the Leafly Reps, and spoke with them. We commented on their product quality and consistency.They were also very awesome. Thank you for doing this for the Veteran Awareness. That means a very lot to me. I hope to see you both again in the near future! The pleasure was all mine.
Cheryl Nicholls

The new store in aldergrove, b.c. is awesome, the people are very helpful, the stock is good. Will be returning there.
megan brooks

If you haven’t been to holistic health in wayne you haven’t been to a great dispensary!!! The staff there are very knowledgeable and very friendly… Awesome selection of flower and edibles and the prices are the best around!!
Quincy

My name is Quincy, I must admit that this is the best dispensary I have ever been to. Staff is nice with positive energy, very professional,and clean place. “The Green Easy” (Leafly) is truly the best I have experienced. I recommend others to visit!
Malibu Cowgirl

Thanks to everyone at 99HighTide Collective in Malibu, CA! Everyone there is professional but also so kind, looking deeper than just “filling an order”. I’ve experienced an offer of a medicinal that I would have never thought of, but it was perfect!! They even have a line of medicinal items for pets. They also invite everyone to come and participate in monthly Beach Clean Up events helping to keep our coast healthy <3 Malibu Cowgirl
Janis Chase

I LOVE Yavapai Herbal Center. Employees all very helpful and took time to answer all my questions. I plan on making this dispensary a regular stop
Bethany Doney

Love going to the Sugar Shack. Very very welcoming nice and helpfull people!
BJ Toll

Terrible product purchased from Georgia Peach dispensary in Hamilton. I definitely should have purchased only a small amount my first time there but, sadly, went for a half ounce. The product seemed to contain no THC whatsoever. This product was sampled by four people, and all gave the same review – barely enough THC to obtain the slightest buzz.
Save your money and avoid disappointment – don’t purchase here!
Frank Hightower

Went to the Cannabis Nation to purchase product. I was very impressed with their product and their knowledgeable staff. Gwendolyn was very informative and helpful! Great job! Thank you so much!
Roxanne Smith

I am a client of MMJ Total Health Care in British Columbia. I order online as I live in Saskatchewan. Their service is wonderful. You receive your order very quickly. It is filled on the day you order. It comes very discreetly packaged. It comes in sealed zip locked packages and is extremely fresh. I love their sales on Tuesdays and Fridays. I am still in the hunt stage for the magic one to alleviate my medical issues. I have found The Black that really is helping with my sleep issues. Still looking for something during the day as I still work. I will keep on with my journey with this amazing dispensary!
hisham h breedlove

I am a patient at Capitol City Care in Washington D.C. and I have to share how proud I am of their new addition strains! There is one called Cannalope Haze that I really Like but have been really enjoying the New Jack City too! The service there is also the best I have seen for a while! such a pleasure to be greeted and treated so well! 5 stars!
Xavier Sharp

Went to the #LightShade #LEAFLY to purchase product. I was very impressed with their product and their knowledgeable staff.Great job Thank you so much
Jacqueline Reed

Went to Nirvana Center in Phoenix Arizona, they have the largest selection available in the whole valley. Everything was organized, the staff was knowledgeable and the prices were reasonable.
Londale Snyder

Went to sweet leaf on Quebec. One of the better places because it’s not as crowded. Fast service is always great. In and out in 10 to 15 mins. Oppose to some stored taking a half hour to 45 mins. Victoria is great!!
Diana Smith

I am a regular customer of Altitude in Aurora since the day they opened. I’ve always found the flower to be of good quality and the staff informed and always pleasant. Would highly recommend https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/0e1990179f873e3df9f7bfdf32bc502ffe3d45f9def8824f99ba64272dde231f.jpg

Archive Dispensary has OUTSTANDING quality….. All the bud i have purchased has been of outstanding quality. I do wish Availabilty and variety of clones would be expanded… I would highly recommend this place. Daily deals are great.
patty beck

This is by far the best dispensary in the tri-city area. I have always gotten the information i needed and each employee has been friendly, helpful and resourceful in retrieving whatever info I needed, thanks to all the employees who have helped me there.
patty beck

yavapai herbal dispensary in prescott valley arizona has awesome quality and usually a nice variety of all different strains. Bud is never dry and always weighs true. People there are very friendly and knowledgeable and when they need to retrieve additional info from other employees, they always do this to serve me best. Thank you Yavapai Herbal dispensary!
Kris Deneal

The Source-Las Vegas. This is not just my favorite dispensary-it’s my favorite place on Earth!! When I try others I always, always end up coming back here….why don’t all other dispensaries figure out how right the Source has it? You can see and smell everything,the staff is the best!! They never steer you wrong…I had to wait 40 years for them, but it was worth it!! For knowledge, for kindness, for professional atmosphere…no where beats the source!!…I would start naming bud tenders, every one of them is my new best friend (and every one deserves a raise…)-but I’d be afraid I’d leave someone out! Thank you for coming to Las Vegas!!
Kris Deneal

The Source-Henderson. Everything I love about the Source, only out in Henderson. Good to know when on the east end of the valley. The Source locations are my favorite dispensaries. You get to see everything, the staff are amazing and knowledgeable. The products never fail to deliver. There are discounts for seniors, and the cultivators and crafters they use are producing some of the best experiences I’ve ever had!! ( just saying)…..
Christine

I am newbie to the whole world of dispensaries, so I have to give a positive shout out to Plantae of Bend,OR for helping me with my questions and guiding me to the product most likely to help me with my arthritic knees. The CBD salve works very good , so thank you Geoff!! Such a nice, clean, and pretty business you run! looks like a spa when you walk in, and it smells so pretty too.

My little neighbor pot store Kush 21 is close to the airport and has a large and varied menu of products. Kush 21 is my new favorite pot shop because it is so close to me, they have great special vendor deals and sales, happy hour and daily specials. The staff is laid back and know their products. Kush 21 is very discreet, no nonsense, tucked into a corner of a small strip mall next to a funky sports dive bar and free parking.
hardcorebitch69

My new favorite pot store is also my neighborhood weed shop. Kush 21 is the nearest pot shop to SeaTac airport so it gets a fair amount of varied customers . The menu is large and you can order online. They have many ways to save like happy hour after 10 PM, vendor specials and daily deals. The bud tenders are knowledgeable, laid back and cool. It is tucked away under pine trees next to a genuine dive bar and free parking. Sometimes when the deals are great food trucks park right at the door in case you get hungry. I am so happy to have a really well stocked cannabis store nearby. I love you Kush 21.
Sandy Charon

My first visit with my new card. Shopped at Health For Life and had a great experience. Dean helped me out and informed me of a lot of different item available. Chose a variety to see how each one works the best on the pain and how long it lasted. The young man was really patient answering my questions. Nice new facility and very clean and orderly.
Mike Boswell

Natures Wonder is a great dispensary to go to. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Nice open clean environment. I really like going here. I like the fact that the price you get includes tax. Munchy Mondays is my favorite day.
Amanda

Earth’s Healing is by far the BEST dispensary in Tucson, Az. The shop has a staff who are patient and knowledgeable and the products there are top quality! Best of all are their daily specials and point system! I ❤ Earth’s Healing

Jennifer Parisi

I ordered from zippy meds the day before yesterday , i just wanted to let people know what happened. First of all they told me it would be 35-60 minutes, and instead it took 2 hours… On top of that I ordered a vape cartridge and it didn’t work, I payed good money for it… I texted multiple times the next day as well as called and they didn’t pick up and didn’t answer my texts So now I am out the money I paid for it.
Christine Pollard

I enjoyed this visit to Zen Leaf! This was the first dispensary that I visited, and I did enjoy the experience. I had a lot of questions, and they were very helpful. They are very accessible, clean and I look forward to visiting again!
Jay Nordin

RECENTLY I VISITED the Madras, OR, Plantae Store. I have been going there for about 9 months.. Usually once a month. The service is great, I can always get what I need. Great selection, numerous products. Watch for specials and discounts. I recently turned in my points and received a 32 dollars discount. If you are a senior you can get a 10% discount. I smoke the oils, easy to inhale without burning. The CBD products have helped me sleep and with pain. THANKS AMY AND THE REST OF THE CRUE. They have taught me a lot about THC and the CDB products to use.

THANKS EVERYONE
Deborah Harrell

I was impressed by the Life Flower Dispensary because I was told that the product I purchased was grown organically. This is hugely important because I buy fruits and vegetables grown organically and choose to support growers who are conscious of the way any plant is grown and harvested without chemicals. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, courteous and compassionate. I’ll continue to purchase from Life Flower for a long time.
Teri Nelson

I started buying from Deep Roots in Springfield, Oregon to find out what works best on my chronic pain – tincture, edibles and creams have been what I’ve settled on.
I couldn’t have done it without the professional help I’ve received from the entire staff. They are patient while answering all of my (many) questions and are extremely knowledgeable – VERY, very nice, every one of them. The store runs a different special each day, which is a bonus! I’d recommend this shop to anyone in the area if they’re looking for a reliable, clean shop stocked with plenty of choices in all products. I haven’t found another one that even comes close.
THANKS DEEP ROOTS – YOU’RE THE BEST! 🙂
Judy Nagle

The Holistic Center on Cave Creek Road just North of the 101 employs great Bud Tenders who are compassionate & knowledgeable with each product. I’ve found their herb to be above average & consistent in quality, as well as, their entire crew -exceptionally good peeps !!!

If you are looking for high quality, organically grown medical marijuana then you have to check out SENSICARE in Billings Mt. Very knowledgeable budtenders that will help you get the best meds for your needs.
Devony Butler

Trulieve in New Port Richey has very informed budtenders. I thought Saudia was extremely helpful. She took her time, listened to me and understood my condition then recommended what would work best for me. She was right! I’ve tried others but her recommendations have worked the best for my health issues. I always have a good experience at Trulieve no matter who helps me. They’re wonderful.

Jay

The staff and selection at commcan in south borough mass are great.
Diana Auricchio

I’m disappointed with The Reef in Detroit (which is a first, because they have been pretty decent). We have to travel 2 1/2 hours one way to get my medication, so when we got home to find out part of it was not in the bag was devastating enough, but to be told, well we can give you 10% off your next visit sorry, that’s not enough. I’m disabled and live on a disability, which is not a lot and so when almost 100.00 goes poof it is very upsetting and leaves me without vital medication that helps me to walk.
Yvonne Longairc

The green cross in silt colorado is the best place to get your joints and eatables. There very friendly.
DENITA

MANKIND DISPENSARY IN SAN DIEGO CA ON MIRAMAR RD IS AN AMAZING PLACE FOR CANABIS IN ALL SHAPES AND FORMS VERY RELIABLE LOCATION AND EASY SPEEDY SERVICE ALWAYS THE BEST STRAINS AND HUGE VARIETY OF OPTIONS TO CHOOSE FROM STAFF ARE EXTREALY FRIENDLYAND HELPFUL VERY KNOWLEDGDABLE OF THE PRODUCTS SOLD HERE.
