The First State Compassion Center employs some of the most kind, caring, and dedicated individuals in the medical field. Every visit has always been pleasant, beneficial and educational. They listen to my wife's symproms. They guided her to choose a strain that worked best for her. The medicine comes in flower and concentrate. (Edibles are not Legal under current Delaware's Marijuana laws.)The prices are very fair given the always consistent quality of the medicine they provide to licensed patients.
FSCC is the first dispensers in Delaware. The leadership team are trail-blazers, pioneering Delaware forward into a cutting edge field that with the potential to help a lot of people with debilitating medical conditions. The team is knowledgeable, organized, dedicated, diligent but also incredibly compassionate. They should be commended on their dedication to educating Patients and Medical professionals.

It has come along way in the 6 months they've been opened, but it's basically a monopoly. We have one place to go. If they don't have larger quantities you are stuck paying the higher cost. The one lady behind the counter is rude and hardly cares at all (Amy). Jessie and Karen are the ladies to see, they are the best! I hope that this owner isn't allowed to bid on the new location in Kent Co, we need competitive rates. Quality of flower is good, although sometimes on the dry side. Will go back as it's the only legal option.

I don't mind the location, because I use to work right up the street from there on Germay Drive for a Sheetmetal HVAC Company in the 1990's. I do believe they need more security on their staff for out in the parking lot for Patients Safety & Protection. I was once a Firefighter until my critical auto accident Cinco De Mayo 2004 ended that & turned my entire world upside down! 2 anchors that hold a plate and my left heel in place, snapped Achilles tendon, 2 herniated discs lower left lumbar, 2 dislocated collarbones, knee surgery, 2 Radio Frequency VNUS Ablations in my legs, I've got more scars on my face, head & body than Frankenstein. PTSD, Stress, Bipolar ADHD Depression, Severe Charley Horses, Muscle Spasms, Leg Twitching, Chronic Pain, Insomnia, Appetite Disorder & Severe Headaches. Life Is Definitely Better & Greener On This Side Of The Grass!

the first couple of times I went to First State I loved the place. I bought the half gram cartridges and was very happy with the strains .then I started noticing that some of the carts I bought were looking like they had less and less oil in then. I said something to the staff member and instantly their face changed and their immediate response was to show me a paper so I could see that every cart gets filled with the exact same amount, wrong!! and that there has to be room for the oil to expand when heated. Im familiar with the carts, so I know there has to be room but all others I've had never had any less oil than a pea sized bubble in carts I'd has in the past. half of what I was buying where only half full!!!! every time I went there. I took pictures as soon as I pulled them from the packages. I took them into show them and even showed them that they had never been smoked ( you can tell). they didn't want to look at them, seemed like they didn't care, just wanted to show me the paper again. this has happened to me at the last 5 times I've been. I complained 3 times and only one employee looked at the half full cartridges and agreed it shouldn't be sold that low of oil. she did let me pick. disappointingly, all 6 she pulled out where half full!!! now to make my experiences worse with FSC their credit card machine has been down for a full week now. when you ask them when it will be fixed they say " oh we don't know" no lie, that's what I was told 7 days later!!! most of the times I shop their I use credit and they are the only ones I know that take credit. once I found out the credit was down I scrounged up enough cash to get 3 carts 35$ each. I get there and am told that they are out of both the 35$ ones but do have another kind that just as good. I will say, they have high quality oils, but these other carts were 8.50 more than the 35$ ones. so I walked out with 2 instead of 3 I was not happy. since then I have not returned to FSC. it's frustrating since it's not like there's a dispensary right next to every Walgreens. I drive far to get to First State. I'm not saying they are terrible, they are very friendly and knowledgeable of the plant. I just want them to acknowledge that they shouldn't be selling medicine thats not completely full of how much you are supposed to get!! like another review said..the pharmacies don't give your pills with half missing! and, First State, please just fix the credit issue!

I've been coming here since the opening month, and it keeps getting better and better. Amazing, caring staff. With the 10% percent discount (Medicaid), I find the prices very fair.

A few months in and I'm still constantly impressed with my budtenders at FSCC. Not only that, the rest of the staff is great as well.
No, not everything is available every time I go in, but we have one shop for the entire state at the moment. To be honest, they keep a pretty good stock.
Seriously, these guys are great and always wonderful to me.

Lewes FSCC is now open. The staff is very nice. They need to procure some big name meds. For example: Ringo's Gift......Harlequin......Charlotte's Web. These are BIG time strains on the west coast.

I got to be honest I rly thought you had started to do better at being on point with the weight of our medication, however the last time I came when I got home I decided I was going to weigh it out to see how much ea 1/8 weighted and low and behold not a single 1/8 weighted 3.50. Each one of them were at least .5 or more short! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE and I really don’t appreciate it!! I spend a lot of money at your facility so I expect that ALL of my medication to be there!! We’ve had this issue in the past and I see we’re having it AGAIN!! As I said before, when we go to a pharmacy to fill our prescriptions they fill the whole thing not just most of it! I expect the same from you! So pls get it together again and make the weight correct!! It would also be nice to have something other than an 1/8 to get, like say a quarter!

I’ve never purchased anything bad from FSC. Everyone is so friendly and helpful - PLUS they are very quick to answer Facebook messages! The ONLY reason all 3 category’s aren’t 5 star is because I wish I could order online.

Worst dispensary out there. They are always out of shatter and wax. We have waited in line for an hour and a half. Terrible business practices. They will let all their patients or customers wait outside in the heat for some cbd heavy product or none because their out. They have only had shatter once in twenty trips there.

Today was my first visit to the shop. It was a great experience everyone at the dispensary is very friendly and very nice and they had a lot more flowers then I was expecting and I went in the afternoon at 3pm A bunch of eighths and grams.

Friendlier than Smyrna and Newark. More selection too at this time. I’d love to see them offer online ordering.

the most unorganized business I have been to. lines for curbside pick up are almost an hour long. security guard overstepping there bounties telling me to move my vehicle up when in the line when there was less than a foot between me and the cars around me. they also would not let my wife use the restroom after being in the line for over 45 minutes. overall this is the last time I will use this dispensary. they should look at how Newark dispensary works and do the same.

Dispensary gets low marks on service for never having anything bigger than an eighth available.
If you're stuck with this dispensary as your only option, make sure you budget at the eighth or gram prices. You will never get an ounce of anything potent here under the current management.

They're overall quality is really good as they have a lot of new Medical Strains just about every time when I go in. I really enjoy cooking & baking with The Decarbed Cooking Hash, as it relaxes me & helps me get some of the proper rest that I need. The only Complaint I have with FSCC is that I always weigh my Prerolls & Flower when I get them. They are not accurate with their 1 Gram Prerolls, as they have weighed .8 of a gram with the filter at times that weighs between .2 - .3 of a gram which brings the flower in the Preroll down to .5 or .6 of a gram. This is why I barely & rarely go there anymore. Because I'm not just paying for the Quality, but I'm paying for the Quantity too. They didn't replace the one that I weighed & took a photo of for them as proof. I also called & put in a formal complaint, as there hasn't been anything done about it. If they treated their Patients with the Patient - Pharmacy Confidentiality, they should be able to give me some Flower to replace the missing Flower from the Preroll/s that I've purchased. If other Patients would weigh their Products, they would be upset & mad also! I Pay For A Great Product Of Medicine For Myself At My Full Price & I Expect To Get All Of My Medicine, Not Just A Partial. Then Have To Go Purchase More Of The Medicine They Should've Replaced. FSCC Needs To Give Their Patients A Fair Shake Just Like Their Preroll Machine With The Patients Prerolls. I Know They Want The Patients To Be Happy & Continue To Go Back! But Since We've Been Getting Ripped Off By Them, They Should Start Making Their Prerolls Bigger For The Same Cost! This Is Why I Go Elsewhere For My Flower Now. If They Would Make Things Right, I Would Go Back More Often! Why Is It That Delaware Is A Tax Free State & We're Paying Some Of The Highest Prices For Our THC, CBD, Tinctures & Concentrates?

Nothing larger than 1/8 all ways

Friendly, courteous staff has been part of my health and wellness journey since 2016. Nice variety of products, informative orientation. It’s nice when they have product available in quantities larger than 1/8. Overall, I’m pleased with FSC-Wilmington.

Great service, however the location needs to start pricing better deals for quantity

Excellent place that is progressing nicely

About time.

Typically out of stock but does allow calling even though its never a guarantee. Wish the store realized how much their packaging was a hinderance for the price paid... i understand that it must be sealed then why not seal the jars with tamper seals...

Great start, anxious to see what comes of it..
