Garden Remedies-Newton: Med & Rec
3/20/2020
Normally I would write a glowing review for this place but ever since the introduction of the recreational use of marijuana in Massachusetts, the priority at Garden Remedies seems to be given to the recreational patients, and not the medicinal ones who helped get the company off the ground in the first place. As a medical patient, I frequently wait twice as long as recreational patients. Never in the history of my going there have I been served faster than someone waiting in the recreational line. I always have to wait.
One of my chief complaints medically is acute stabbing nerve pain running down my legs when I’m left to stand in one place too long. This symptom has kicked in for me more than once while waiting in line at Garden Remedies, all while I watch recreational users come in, make a quick transaction, and leave. It’s infuriating and it hurts physically. And that’s what I’m therefore, to get treatment so I don’t feel the pain.
It kind of defeats the purpose, no?
