amazing great people that work there very good at explaining what's good for what and beautiful atmosphere :)

very friendly staff, nice storefront, great products! the online pricing seems to stop at 1/4 oz pricing.... what are the prices for 1/2 oz or full ounce of flower? I'll be going back for sure!

From the moment you walk in, The Botanist staff, put you completely at ease. I was excited to hear they have a medical doctor knowledgeable in Cannabis and able to discuss personal medications with Cannabis included. Additionally, with your permission, the doctor will speak to your doctor. This will help patients find the best medicine for their ailments. Their veterans discount is the highest in the state and with proof of 100% Service Connected disability, you will receive a 40% discount. Every member of their staff were extremely knowledgeable and well versed in products, industry news, and so much more. Absolutely my go to dispensary hands down. I almost hate to spread the good news about The Botanist because they certainly are a real breath of fresh air with regards to Worcester and Mass state wide. Icing on the cake, they have their own grow production going on and flowers that are always fresh!! Best, best, best dispensary in the city of Worcester and across the state!!!! 👍

Stopped by The Botanist on Pullman St Worc for the fist time today. Plenty of parking. Very easy access to the highway. Excellent location. Reception area is biggest out of the other 3 Central Mass Med Dispensaries Ive been to (GoodChem, Cultivate and Curaleaf Oxford). Sales floor is as big as Cultivate's. Very clean. Brighter lighting than GoodChem but not bright like Walmart which is a good thing as I know many migrain sufferers are triggered by bright lights. Big displays with all products all spread throughout the sales area. Receprion was typical for a first patient. 2 page questionaire. Nothing new. Desk workers both were positive and welcoming. Skylar welcomed me with a bright smile and was very well informed on all the products I asked about. She patiently went over the many menu options and never rushed me as i waffled over the many choices. She offered small samples to see up close and smell, a plus in my mind that some places dont do (ya YOU Curaleaf). The menu is much like a nice restraunt with a nice fancy layout and quality paper is a nice touch. Its felt like i was looking at a wine menu. Very easy to read and % breakdowns all listed. Genetics also. Todays menu is a variety of strains from multiple sources. Botanist has its own strains but I was able to get some they wholesale from ACS, CC and others which allowed me to buy Do-si-dos i keep hearing so much about on different forums without having to go to Boston. Prices are slightly higher than GoodChem and Curaleaf but right at the market avg (which is still high due to the demand as Mass just went legal). Flower comes in small plastic jars, not zip lock bags that crush the buds. Giving 4 stars because everything i got was packaged/tested in January, GoodChem is never more than 3 weeks old. Great experince over all and wont hesitate to come back.

This is probably the most beautiful dispensary I've been to in Central Mass. Great location and plenty of parking. Easy check in and the people are very kind and knowledgable. It seems like they have a few supply problems though since they have been out of a few things for a while - specifically the gummies which we like to use throughout the day for microdosing. Hopefully this is something that they get straightened out prior to opening for recreational.

I haven't been to many dispensaries, but this is the most visually pleasing. Smells clean, well-decorated to the point you feel like you are in a tropical region. Staff is super knowledgeable and professional. Will go again.

This place used to be awesome. Good strains with terpene percentages printed, great discount program, and classy glass jars they sold flower in. Now the terpene info is gone, the discount program got slashed in half, flower comes in plastic, and most recently they introduced an awful pricing tier system. Volume discounts now only apply to their lowest tier of flower, instead of almost the entire flower menu. Speaking of the menu, the flower strains are not grouped by price tier, or by grower/brand, or even by indica/sativa/hybrid, but simply listed in descensing order of total thc%. What happened to the strain of the week? The employees were friendly and professional, so I won't go down to one star. But this place used to be MUCH better.

On the one hand, my visits have been pleasant and mostly "market price" without unusual markup. The problem is they're not reliably open. Saturday March 5 they weren't open - no reason, no signs, no phone message, nothing on the website or Instagram. We got ghosted by a whole store. I won't be back, not when there are so many choices in this town.

The botanist is only about profit. Medical patents go to mission. They are affordable and great flower. The botanist will not be able to supply flower. Each store has different pricing and products, 45$/ 1/8oz is NOT acceptable money. I hope you fail you corporate assholes.
