Review by Stacie Kampfman

Staff is extremely friendly and helpful, the products are of great quality. I will admit that I was a bit skeptical at first, but after working with the staff, I was able to find the correct products to help me & for the first time in 10+ years & over 20 Spine, Neck,& Brain Surgeries I have been able to reduce my pain medication!! I still have 3 big surgeries to go, but I’m so glad that I tried MM & cannot say enough about everyone who works at Thames Valley!!

Review by Jake Coombe

I wish I could give this “A” team 6/5 stars. While I was in the waiting room I overheard one of the other customers say he’d rather travel a much further distance to go to this dispensary. By the time I left I could understand why- Laurie Zrenda first off, was more than helpful processing my info. She made sure that I had the correct information, and gave me a choice of many doctors she thought would best fit for me. Once I came back to hand in my paperwork I was greeted by a wonderful woman named Rachel who was very patient with me even though the office was very busy. Not that it effected her efficiency. You can tell each person working there loves their job, and treats each individual like family. To Laurie and the crew I met today: You all are awesome, I couldn’t have asked for more. I will recommend Thames Valley Alternative Relief to my own family and friends. For anyone out there in need of relief these are the people to speak to. I can not thank you enough. Sincerely, Jacob Coombe

What is a Dispensary?

A dispensary is a store that sells special items or dispenses the specialized items. Cannabis or marijuana dispensariers started in the US some time in the early 1990’s when Dennis Peron opend the San Francisro Cannbis Buyers Club. Back then the cannabis dispensary faced a ton of hardships, but Dennis, his team and dream helped pave the future for all future recreational and medical cannabis dispensaries. In 2014 the first recreational dispensary, 3D Cannabis opened it’s doors in Colorado. As of 4-1-19 33 states have medical dispensaries and 10 states have recreational dispensaries.

At a dispnsary one will find many differnt kinds of cannabis flowers (buds) and concentrates, edibles along with smoking untensils, but have a limited selection compared to online shops like Elev8 Glass Gallery. The dispensary also will have what is called a budtender to help you find what you are looking for. If you need help with cannabis info Elev8 Presents is a good resource.

What is the difference between a medical or recreational dispensary?

In realtiy medical and recreational dispensaries are the same thing. This all comes down to the states laws on cannabis. We feel cannabis is just like alcohol and medical will happen first and then recreational will follow, and so far history is showing this. Dispensaries are an excellent place for patients and recreational smokers alike to find the cannabis that best suits their needs!
