Peake ReLeaf - Maryland

Oh, Peake Releaf. This hurts to break up with you. You used to be my favorite because y'all were on point with your great selection, knowledgeable staff and stellar service. But now? Sadly, 3 strikes and you're out. The last 3 times I've tried to give you my business there has been an error. Twice now, I've placed an online order and received text notification it was ready, only to drive the 25 minutes there to be told, "Yeah, sorry. It's not ready but we'll get right to it," and then waited in the parking lot for an additional 60-80 minutes waiting for them to "get right to it". Today, I tried for the last time. I placed my order over the phone and triple checked that I would be notified when it was actually ready. I was repeatedly assured I would be contacted in 45-60 minutes. I called at the 65 minute mark and was told it wasn't ready, then waited over 3 hours before becoming fed up and calling to cancel the order. Raj took my call and he was extremely polite and considerate. Obviously, it's not his fault so I can't unload my frustration on him, but Peake? Y'all got sloppy. And inefficient. And have wasted too much of my time for me to return. And that makes me sad. From now on, I'll just go to one of the other 3 dispensaries I pass on the way to Peake Releaf because they have their curbside pick up systems in working order. Good luck to you. I hope you get turned around and back to what used to make you amazing!

Very light bags buyers beware

Came on the 2nd day of their soft opening and was greeted by a very friendly staff and spacious waiting area. They're still setting things up, but the layout is great and I love large meeting/patient counseling room. It might be the nicest dispensary "waiting room" in MoCo. I did the usual check in procedure with the ladies at the front desk and soon the secured door opened to grant me access to their finest available meds. I spoke with Warren, Anna, and Audrey who were all very helpful and extremely patient. Warren explained to me that they do an additional trim on all of their flower, so each bud you buy from them, no matter what grower, will only be premium selections. Their strawberry banana was smelling dreamy and all of their sample buds looked very well manicured. I came for a vape cart though, and was happy to see Curaleaf CO2 and distillate carts available. I picked up a cart of the Gorilla Glue #4 distillate, but quickly realized I had a problem when I got home. It wasn't working with my autodraw pen, so I went back right before closing and they even stayed after hours to help troubleshoot my issue. Turns out, while the Curaleaf carts are high quality (best I've tried yet), that quality also needs a quality battery. I picked up a Swon vape battery kit and went home to see if solved my issue. Got home, got situated, and was pulling tasty, terpy clouds in no time. If you're in Rockville, Bethesda, or just MoCo in general, definitely swing by. They got competitive prices, premium select flower, and an extremely friendly and helpful staff. I'm proud to be their 2nd customer ever, but they treated me like number 1.

Charging $80-$100 for a half gram of concentrate is absolutely ridiculous! Out west in Cali, Washington, AZ, you get a whole gram for $40-$60, and ITS TRULY TOP SHELF. And you can get decent concentrate for the same amount around here if you know the right people. How do you have a grand opening and charge way over street prices for just decent flower. I’ll be sticking with my boy down the street. This place (and most in Maryland) think they got no competition 🙄

The staff is excellent, you can tell they value leadership and coach to the patient experience. Very consistent in this regard. They reliably carry the best strains from the growers they sell, and they never cease to have amazing deals. It happened organically, but I realized today I haven't visited a dispensary other than this one for over 3 weeks now. It was recently also explained to me by management that they provide shake for sale at discounted prices, this is amazing for my handicap brother who can't work and is on a limited income. They just get it. Compassionate and resilient in their commitment to their patients. Keep up the great work. *I've visited more than 27 dispensaries in MD, Peake Releaf is the bar everyone else is striving to reach. Simply the best.

Peake Releaf has never been my go-to dispensary, but I shop here once in a while if they have something I want that other dispensaries don't. More often than not (if not always), flower is sold in their house packaging. Perhaps it's just the packaging, but the flower is consistently dry, regardless of the expiration date. My most recent flower purchase contained a ton of sugar leaves, which leads me to believe that whoever trimmed was either sloppy or playing tricks with weight. There's a ton of turnover here, and rarely do the budtenders seem engaged or even remotely happy to be there. Not exclusively, but enough to feel like more of a burden than anything. With high turnover, it's tough to establish a rapport with the budtenders. Peake Releaf, pay attention! The last one is important. Your customers are your patients, and like with any other healthcare setting, the value bedside manner and rapport cannot be overstated. All of these have been issues before, hence my infrequent visits, but chances that I'll be back again are slim.

First time visiting, front desk guy was nice. The girl who helped me once I went back had no knowledge of the products I asked about nor was she very friendly. The carts in bought were advertised as 20% off yet the girl helping me didn’t give me the discount nor my 10% for my first time. Had to ask a different person for to help finish my transaction. Will not be shopping here again and will not recommend for a friend

Be warned! They don't honor Leafly prices and try to swap out half grams for more than full gram price. I'll never shop here again.

I don’t pay $140 for a half oz of shake. This is ridiculous. You normally advertise “small buds” and “trim” as such. Don’t understand why you would rip me off like this.

I starterd as a patient in Maryland at the start of Covid. Sadly, that ended indoor visits with the right to see and smell the flower. Now you have to scour reviews and then chance it and wait until you get home to see if its wqorth your HARD EARNED money in a tanking economy. My first visit was pure magic, I got the powerful strain of Indica my military caused PTSD requires. I was in heaven, no more coping with street sellers and all their games. So after spending almost 2 grand here, the same issue crops up (pun intended) and that is that THEY NEVER have enough stock of the PRIZED FLOWER. If you don't phone in at 10 AM sharp ( I called today two hours after opening) the best flower is exhausted by "patients' (See partying folks who got their "Medical" approvals) who go off to their Frat weekend wonderlands and a man in real NEED of PRODUCT and MEDICINE is left with their LAME leftovers they try to push. SO TIME TO FIND ANOTHER DISPENSARY that doesn't seem to exhaust its product within two hours every freaking Friday. SO not much has changed getting a real medical license. It's no better than coping with the street dealers of yore. Same crap. Wait, wait. I suggested to their management to have an ALERT system installed to contact specific patients accordng to a Preference Profile. GET TO KNOW YOUR PATIENTS! LEARN ABOUT THEIR MEDICAL NEEDS!!! WATCH OPUT FOR THOSE WHO DROP MAJOR $$$$$$$$$$ AT YOUR DISPENSARY!!! OFFER ALERTS or to SET ASIDE MEDICINE THAT IS THE PATIENTS PERFERENCE so they don't get "SORRY" every freaking time they call for the BEST FLOWER you have. Which by the way, you don't have much variety of flower. You lost my MAJOR BUSINESS!!

Today I went to Peake Releaf for the first time. I was excited to try a new dispensary in the Maryland area so I drove about 40 mins to get there but the thrill was worth it. I made it about 30 mins before they closed. I felt blessed I made it there for I got out of work a little later than usually. I entered and the man at the desk ignored me. I thought maybe they had closed early I looked at my phone to make sure and as I did the man behind the counter said, "what do you want?" I knew this wasn't going to go well from that moment on but remained optimistic. I shared that I was a new customer and I would like to make a purchase. He said, "drivers license and MMC number" at this point you could literally cut the tension in the air like a cake. So I decided to try and loosen things up a bit by asked how his day was? to which I got just a cold stare with his blue eyes. He responded by saying, "fill out this form" I filled the form and once I was done he made me watch about 5 customers that came after me go in before me. Then about 10 mins later he calls be over and says so thank you so much for coming we have you in our system MMC number and driver's license but question what was the doctors name that approved your MMC card? To which I responded I do not know and he says well in that cast we cannot serve you at this time. I asked if I could speak to the manager, he can over and I begged him and told him that on the government website it clearly stipulates that a medical marijuana card number and a drivers license is all you need. And he said well not at this dispensary. I said no problem I will try another. I stepped outside and it hit me. My rights were violated because I kept reading the website and it doesn't say that dispensaries can discriminate or demand a doctors name. So I shared that with the manager to which he replied, "sir please leave our store" I stepped back outside and called 911. Two constables vehicles showed up. I explained what occurred I showed the officer my MMC number and drivers license and he checked the website himself to be sure of the law and responded you are correct. The second officer an older white constable arrived on the seen and asked the officer I was talking to what happened and he explained and was told that this is a court worthy case and he must provide me with an incident number and to call The Better Bureau first thing in the morning to report the incident to get an official case started and I'm sure you all know exactly what I will be doing first thing tomorrow morning. All I wanted was an ounce now Peak Relief may possibly be funding the next few years worth of ounces for me. We all make choices and unfortunately have to face them. I hope they see this and get their lawyers ready because my aunt Renee Battle-Brookes the ex chief of police for pg county for the last 20 years just transitioned to law and has blessed me with free counsel and on the drive home she was gutted hear how I was treated and says she's ready to take it all the why... what ever that means. We will be on a three way call tomorrow morning with the Better Business Bureau. My first official experience of discrimination and it's officially going to court! This should be an interesting experience.

I wanted to like this dispensary however I was quite disappointed. The waiting area is large and nice and I was checked in quickly. I get called back into the dispensary area and the disappointment sets in. Everything is displayed nice however the employees were incompetent. She asks what I like and I say vape cartridges. She points to a display and says there they are. Never tells me what they have or anything. I ask if they have White widow and she says yes grabs it and says check out is over there. I say that I actually would like to continue shopping. I start asking questions about the capsules and tablets. She has absolutely no idea about the product. I had to correct her about 4 or 5 times. I ask for a battery for the cartridge and i takes 3 employees 5 minutes to find it. With as many dispensaries there are in Rockville I will not be returning to this one.

would not recommend

Professional and knowledgeable staff. Very helpful. Thanks Wish concentrate was a bit cheaper. Otherwise nice shop. My go to. Can't wait for my tell review preroll!

It was fast and simple. I was able to get in and out with what I needed and had great help. It was my first visit and I was supposed to get 10% off and the guy who checked me out even mentioned it, but later I looked at my receipt, and I never got that. The flower I picked up is great, so purple and I love it.

Awesome! Huge selection of cannabis products and accessories. Big plus: small jars of individual bud samples to inspect and smell. This may become my go-to dispensary!

Love this place. It’s close to home and the bud tenders are always receptive and helpful, and never pushy about getting you to buy. It’s “my dispensary” for a reason and I’ll keep coming back.

Great staff, great selection

My favorite dispensary I’ve visited so far in Montgomery County! Great team working there. Very professional and great experience.

My go to place. Employees are knowledgeable and great service.

I love this place!! Great service very friendly and professional.

This place is fantastic. I have been to about 15 dispensaries and Peake, hands down is the best. I make the 40 mile trek from Frederick just to go here and have done so for the past 4-5 months. They have great prices and offer a Veteran discount which is a huge plus for me. Being disabled, with only my wife's income this really helps. The atmosphere is great, laid back, almost like a head shop. Great selection on glass and vapes. The flowers I have gotten from here have consistently been top notch. the staff is always super friendly and they know their stuff. You are greeted warmly at the front desk and then called back by a personal budtender whom remains with you through out your transaction. I love being able to crack open a jar and smelling and seeing the sample. the best part is the packaging. All my purchases have come in Mason jars, keeping the smell 100% concealed (no smell) in my vehicle during my long drive home. I've also gotten free lighters and a cool magazine to read just for the purchase. If you haven't been here, do yourself a favor and go. it will be the last dispensary you visit

I am a recently disabled 22 y/o. I explained my situation to Raj at 7:45 on a Sunday.. how Herbology and other dispensaries were not treating me well as I crutch around, risking a fall on my (already having 2 surgeries) left knee. He was super sweet, and answered all my questions so I placed a delivery order online the next day. MC was the Miss who called me to confirm my order. Now after some great specials, my price was a little under $150- Which is the minimum for delivery. After her beautiful note of “ “this one is for the positive lady vibes” wishing you a successful surgery and speedy recovery, I was amazed by their service. But Jules helped me the most, bringing my delivery to me directly, especially quickly, and to a woman on crutches, that meant a lot. The service was lovely and I can only hope all of them the best during this pandemic. They were so respectful of a woman in need and pain. Thanks y’all.

Nothing special really, it’s near my house and open until 9pm so I’ll shop here if it’s late or have no time and need something quick.
