Hey Buffalo! The botanist is the place to go for help! As i entered the Botanist, I was treated by people who were compassionate, knowledgeable, very friendly and understanding!! I actually dealt with a pharmacist in trying to figure out what i needed! The pharmacist was very friendly, knowledgeable and compassionate as well. A person who actually lived the medical marijuana life, both professionally and personally!! Please Buffalo try out the Botanist! You will not be disappointed!

I just went to The Botanist for the first time and was so impressed! The reviews had me nervous but I decided to finally take the chance. The very personable & knowledgeable pharmacist took care of me almost immediately and took an abundance of time discussing my needs and the products. They currently stock Etain & Pharmacann. He says they have some really great products of their own coming in the near future. I'm very excited to experience the future products because they're going to be better than what's currently offered. Everyone was very friendly. It's a very nice atmosphere. The prices are on par. I am very happy that I took the chance and went today! Editing to add: the 2 different products the pharmacist recommended are working much better than my previous products. It was so nice getting helpful advice.

This place is terrible staff sold me a cart that my pen did not work for and did not offer to refund me for the product furthermore offered to sell me product on top of that is this a drug dealer or a cannabis dispensary.The staff here are laughable at best being more pothead then pharmacist these staff would recommend anything to hit there sales numbers.Sad establishment with worse customer service support will not be returning here I'm out 75 dollars with a broken vape cart no one deserves that Oh and side note the guy at the front desk short hair blonde guy is the one selling the boof carts so beware they all know there bad but those sales numbers have to be hit

I arrived at 6:37 knowing exactly what I wanted, yet I was denied entry. The guy at the front said “we’re closed” despite it saying on their website that they close at 7:00pm. He then pointed to a sign that said “we take out last patient at 6:30” Why wouldn’t this be communicated on their website? Why is there no one that picks up the phone when you call? I would not recommend this place simply due to their lack of fundamental customer service skills and business etiquette.

Very nice people, not knowledgeable at all, but I didn't talk to the pharmacist. Reselling others products. Anyone know when they are getting their own?

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!
