The Botanist - Danbury (Med)

12/24/2017
This has been my dispensary for months now. Unfortunately, I can't say it's been a great experience. The main receptionist is almost always unpleasant, and when you go you have to listen to her bitch about not only her job but the customers who come to Compassionate Care. Moreover, their website is terrible. There's not much information provided on the products, and they're missing many of the product photos that should be there to help the patient make decisions. And when you put a product into the basket and go back to shop the website often doesn't remember what you already had in the basket. But that's what you get when you run your business on a Wix website. The least they could do is put up a functional WordPress site. It's not rocket science. Another issue I have had is that a lot of the flower is very dry. That may not be their fault, but it's kind of unexpected. And you would think they could invest in a humidor for the poducts. Finally, the place is tiny (I mean really tiny). And the 8' x 8' waiting room feels dirty. My impression is that compared to places like Colorado and California and others, Connecticut dispensaries are lacking substantially in many many ways. This is no exception. The one thing they have going for them (other than being nearly the only game in town in my area) is that other than the one receptionist, everyone there is awesome. If I could give a rate on people I'd give them 4.9, but with all the other flaws, with regret, I have to go far lower.

Emerald Avenue

So to say I was skeptical is understating it. A delivery service for meds? Really? I hadn't heard of it, and being a bit "old school" wasn't sure I trusted it. Still, when I found Emerald Avenue here on Leafly and read all the reviews I wanted to try it. It was a bit of a rocky start, but my experience proved to be EXCELLENT. I say it was a rocky start because I had emailed my medical card/information in and hadn't heard back from them until I texted them a couple of days later. It turned out, my email ended up in their spam folder, but as soon as they found it they took care me really well. Also, as soon as I did they found my email in the spam folder apologized profusely -- saying that had never happened before. They then answered a boatload of questions from me and were very patient about it. As I said, I was skeptical, and I pushed a bit. But I took a chance and I am glad I did because was extremely happy with everythign I got from them. The driver texted me an ETA and arrived right on time. The flower was good, the vape pens awesome, and the packaging was beautifully done. Great job! I will definitely shop with Emerald again! First rate! Thanks Emerald!
