I absolutely love everything about the people, products, and location of Patriot Care Lowell. The one thing I absolutely despise is that the wait is very unpredictable and often over 45 minutes. The price, quality, and selections are overall fantastic! I love all the special deals and points system in place! My one big suggestion would be to allow people to schedule appointments to visit. Even if I had to schedule a visit on Monday for a Friday etc it would make Patriot just that much more enjoyable to visit. I can't stress enough how awesome and well versed each and EVERY employee I have interacted with is! I have been to this location hundreds of times to date, and other then the wait it is always getting better.

I have visited Central Ave a handful of times and wanted it to be at least ok since it's the closest to my house. To put it simple they are progressively getting worse each visit. Though the wait time is very short (if any at all), the consistency of the product is very poor. There is long stretches of time when items (not specific to strains) will be sold out/out of stock, and there estimated back in stock times have been way out of reality. Once finally back in stock you never really know if you are actually getting the same thing as last time and from my experiences it is unlikely that you will. I have tried a few different flowers and took a liking to 2 specific strains (GSC and Dakini). Of course when I saw the strains were back in stock I stopped in to get more. The variation from batch to batch is baffling and I am hard pressed to believe they were actually the same at all. From color to flavor they were not even similar, and of course you can't see a sample or anything before you purchase it. I honestly can't comment on their knowledge of medicinal uses, as I have yet to speak to anyone about anything on the topic. I can however say that I don't suggest asking anyone if they will be adding any new deals or discounts as they will just tell you off. All in all I would suggest to spend the time waiting elsewhere as after visiting almost all the other dispensaries in MA Central Ave is certainly higher priced, and seems to be more of someone's hobby than an attempt at operating a successfully competitive business. To be honest, I would not recommend anyone else to go here, but will continue to stop in on the very rare occasion to see if they get any better and will update accordingly.
