The Botanist - Williamstown (Med)
7/4/2022
I lived on the west coast for years and its amazing how far behind NJ is in the game. Unless you've been to a real marijuana dispensary, you wouldn't know.
In Vegas, you go to the dispensary and get way more budtenders, way way more selection, way better cultivators and product, vendors handing out stuff like free lighters to free shirts to promote their brands. You get tiers with everything from $20 1/8ths to 2 for $20 gummies.
In Jersey, you get like 3 or 4 budtenders with 3 or 4 weed products. Like what is small bud and big bud? Never heard of that. The gummies by verano are garbage. The reward system is wack. The prices are profit-driven with no specials or sales ($100 for 2 1/8ths). What happened to Quarters? (oh, you make more by selling individual 1/8ths, right) The hours are better now, but was a disaster at first because the cultivators that signed the contracts didnt know how to scale their growth and cant meet demand and the owners didnt anticipate that cause they dont know weed, they just have the money to start up the business.
Jerseys dispensaries are ass. Hopefully that changes when they make money the first year and can start scaling their business. The best one I've been to so far is Botanist in Williamstown. It doesnt say much, but it's my choice for now.
