Temescal Wellness - Hudson (Recreational)

This is my 3rd review of Temescal; Leafly has taken the previous 2 down but I believe customers have a right to know about a bad experience. I had some of my medicine stolen from this pharmacy (when I got home, there were loose gummies in the bottom of my bag). When I sent a letter to the owner, he refused to answer my questions. He offered me a full refund but I told him I didn't want it. I wanted him to believe me. I never heard back from him. I'm not trying to scam anyone, nor am I a liar. And it bothers me that Leafly is purposely keeping truthful reviews from their customers.

Went to the dispensary yesterday,They just started selling recreational marijuana. As a medical patient I had 4 choices of flower, as a recreational customer there were 9 choices. The only way to get something that wasn't on the medical list was to pay recreational prices. The reason for that was they already scanned all their product they plan on selling as recreational. In other words they already counted their profit before they sold their product and now they won't sell it for less to people who have medical cards. Talk about something not being fair. My wife and I have been patients since they opened and they've never really had a huge selection of flower but having it and not being able to sell it because you want to make more money on it that's disgraceful for medical patients, just another business out to make a buck. Thank you and have a pleasant profitable day...

Terrible staying at the hotel across the street. Walk over in the rain and tell me I can’t enter unless I take the shuttle what a waste of time security boy is a lil punk! DO NOT SHOP HERE!!! Rude staff high prices and extra unnecessary steps!!

UPDATE: went in today around 11am (5/24) when i got in i asked the guy at the front if there was someone i could speak to about being over charged. said i got charged 45 for a half gram of wax. i heard a girl opening boxes in the back say under her breath it is 45$(um no its 37$) i was told to go inside and speak to the 'blue shirt' got in talked to the blue shirt and he was very rude and gave me attitude. not once did he apologize. he asked if i brought the product with me, i said no i just want the difference. He goes to some closet comes back with 8 dollars (i didnt get my $1.60 back in taxes) and hands it to me, still no apology. he then goes on to say its not their fault and that it was miss labeled by the distributor. now this is a bold face lie, the package clearly reads .5 WAX not LIVE RESIN whomever had keyed into their system for prices priced it wrong at $45 instead of 37$ and whomever keyed in the leafly description keyed in LIVE RESIN instead of wax and whatever i get things happen, just this guys attitude was so poor blaming everyone else and not even apologizing, he really needs to go. the most helpful people at this place seem to be the females (the shorter one in particular, lidia maybe) you really need to put her in charge of the product and leafly and get rid of that 'blue shirt' guy he was awful and rude. the short girl there is so knowledgeable on the products and is super friendly, put her in charge. but fair warning to anyone whom comes here, they ripped me off and would not have said anything nor changed it unless i spoke up. their flower here is some of the worst ive had (unless ur getting rhythm or something not packaged by them). their customer service is horrible. you need to take a shuttle. there are so many other options in the area (a few within 20-40 mins) i really hate to rake them over the coals like this, but ive had it with this place. be warned ugh, this place is so poorly run. hands down the worst one. why, please why do you advertise very blue dream resin on your leafly site and i go in get home and its WAX. correct me if im wrong but the wax here is usually 37$ i paid 45$ for a half gram of WAX not live resin as advertised. i can get a gram of wax from neta for 50. no way wax should cost more than shatter. can i please get the difference back since i paid 45$ for WAX not RESIN. i have my receipt.

Very sterile environment, not that welcoming. Why sell flower with no thc or cbd in it? Recreational menu is lack luster. Disappointed.

Seems to me the store has made enough money to at the very least rent the parking lot of the empty building next door taking a shuttle is a little off putting when it’s 90+ out

Been here 4 times up until yesterday I have been real happy with great service and great product. Last week they had vspr banana kush cartridges and I went through the line twice to get 2. The first was great and yesterday I went to open the 2nd and the carton was empty. I paid $70 plus tax for an empty box. I have been trying to get in contact with them to see if they will make this right but no response yet. It’s gonna be my word against theirs I guess. They have been out of these vspr cartridges since last week, makes me wonder if there was a problem with others.

First, higher than average prices then followed by recent really poor customer service experience has added up to me not planning a return trip anytime soon.

This place sucks. People that work there are so rude. They have one flower right now and everyone else has at least 10. Don’t go there people

It is the only place local to me that still requires a shuttle, which is a bit ridiculous seeing as I've never been (on the weekdays at least) and seen more than 5-10 people. The staff is either super friendly, or super unamused that you came in and there is no in between. The product is pretty good most of the time, but holy hell are they inconsistent. Lastly, I haven't seen this many seeds in a preroll in my entire life. Hopefully they start getting it together soon, as places are popping up left and right and this one will surely fall by the wayside.

very clean, extremely fast.. took me less then 15 mins from car, to door and back. staff was helpful and eager. products are top shelf.

I’ve been now a few times. The Light Saber strain was fantastic.... I just picked up some Peanut Butter Breath and it’s so dry it crumbles to dust 😕... hopefully this doesn’t happen often going forward. Packaging could be a bit better as well.

We are getting TAXED! They are raping us by only selling eights and joints for flower consumption. They have raised the price per gram to heights I haven’t seen since the prohibition, and the quality isn’t what I would expect for top shelf cannabis. They have no clue how to cure cannabis and it shows. Out of the three times I have visited one one of the three eights was properly cured IMO. They tout quality control however they will not stand by their products and refund or exchange if your not happy. I took a video of the last 1/8 I bought and you can see for yourself. I’ll post it on twitter today. Shame on you Massachusetts you caused this. No competition equals price jacking, quality fails, and lack of choice. Never again

Product i got good so far until i got an 8th of Dream Lotus. Flower was mature, but poorly trimmed. Way too much leaf for the price. Product usually pretty good, but experience needs a lot of work. Shuttle round trip can take over an hour even when not busy. Setup like a bank, not a retail store. There is stuff behind the counter you can't even see, wouldn't even know you had it unless I was tall. Friendly staff, but shuttle trip is a problem when your competition doesn't require it. And more are opening soon.

1st time visit and found selection and quality was there.Came back to the house and smoked 0.4 grams of the Jack Herer,mercy!😀 and I'm not a neophyte!

Horribly annoying. I couldn’t walk over. I have to Uber 5 minutes away and take a shuttle back to the location. Then shuttle back and call another Uber back to my house, which is 300 years from the place. For medical, it’s fine I guess. They should t even offer adult use if they’re this moronic. Never again.

Ok so your prices are cheaper and the product is great. Staff great and unfortunately I will not return. I have to Penalize the dispensary but the shuttle has become a huge inconvenience. It is Asinine at this point! you have to wait an extra 45 minutes in the parking lot middle the winter For the shuttle. You can stop being cheap and get more vans there a bunch of options you keep sending a five passenger van to save money on gas or whatever that doesn’t fit the people of been waiting a half an hour and have to wait again this is just bullshit Has dispensary tried to reach our to town of Hudson? Do you have a bunch of people sitting in cars waiting on the shuttle or a literally right across street from the park with kids the parking lot at the dispensary is empty they could shuttle the employees and have them park here they’re a bunch of options that would be more effective for the town there would be no back up of traffic instead we’re sitting here waiting for a stupid van next to a park where kids play Also directly behind peoples houses in backyard these poor people I guess don’t matter

Nice place, helpful people and fast moving (in-and-out in under 30mins). One piece of feedback: if you're going to use Leafly as your menu, please supply more info on the stains. Of the four stains of flower you offer today (4 is not enough btw), only two give any details and they are both very heavy sativa-leaning so I have no idea what kind of variety is offered, if any. If I'm going to spend this much on an eighth, I'd like to educate myself on my options first.

I don’t see why they can’t have local parking. The people at the desk have twice been hard to deal with. I felt they were argumentative. They have excellent cartridges !

Rec patients currently HAVE to take the shuttle which is quite the little drive, it’s also not a shuttle but a six person van- which makes the lines inside move very fast as you go in with six people at most at a time. There seemed to be a lot of employees and only two helping customers- my tender was not very friendly or informative. The % offered was NOT the same on the packaging received- which by the way the packaging could use a make over. Lastly seeds. I have been to many rec dispensaries and have never gotten seeds till now.

never going back until that stupid shuttle is gone

First time at any dispensary but have been reading reviews to decide which one to go to. Coming from NH I decided to drive past Lowell and go here due to positive reviews. Here’s my take: Arrived at satellite lot and was pleasantly greeted by a very friendly shuttle driver already there and maybe 5 others to take the shuttle over, ride was about 4 minutes to dispensary. Once there, there was zero line which was nice, they scan your ID and go inside. The whole buying experience felt rushed and empty to me. I do know indica sativa difference but not being able to even see or smell the flowers you’re buying for 50$+ tax is kinda lame. Limits were only one 1/8, 2 pre rolls and one cartridge per transaction. That’s what I got and it came to $145. Holy crap. That being said, the fruit punch flower was exceptional product. Vape cartridges being butane extracted left more to be desired but blue dream is a favorite indica so I grabbed one anyway. They maybe had 4 different flower you could buy, 4 different prerolls and 2 carts as options. Didn’t see any edibles, shatter, wax or anything else on the menu. I expected more options but I was happy with the products I did get. The prices are high but I’m hoping with time and more dispensaries opening that they come down. Overall good experience, it was really nice not having to wait in line. Shuttle and purchases back to car took maybe 20-25 minutes total. Will be back again.

It's a great store with excellent products, and a simultaneously friendly and professional atmosphere. It's great to see more products being offered as time goes on and cartridges being in stock at a more reliable level. That said, I have to voice a complaint about the stores service to customers at the end of the day especially on weekdays. They list "open" hours as being open until 7 with the lot closing at 6:30, and several times now I have arrived at 6:20 and have been turned away by the lot guards because "they said to close". It's just not a good way to do business and is very frustrating when you have people driving to the business during open hours and being told your closed. Obviously it's a challenge with the whole lot/shuttle setup, but at the very least you should fix your listed hours because you are not truly open until 7pm for customers plain and simple. Perhaps you could get creative and do something like parking tickets for the final customers to drive up and not use the shuttle at the very tail end of the day if that is the issue, but irregardless, the listed hours just are not correct and you should at least be able to service the customers that arrive prior to the advertised lot closure time of 6:30.

It has a sterile feeling inside. Perhaps adding music may help
