Great Dispensary

Awesome staff, clean, well designed store. Generally really good inventory. Amazing rewards program for frequent visits. I still wish there was a pre-ordering system. Especially since the store is so busy all the time and all the other dispensaries within a 5 mile radius do offer that. Overall definitely a 5-star operation.

Good news, we have a newly established online ordering process. If you go to our website, Libertycannabis.com, click the Menu icon and then click the Rockville icon, you will be able to order online. Once we fill the order, you will be notified that it is ready and you can come in and pick it up any time on the day that you ordered.

Tone Deaf

Despite my reviews and feedback via email (where I was offered a discount on my next purchase to keep my comments off Weedmaps), they have literally done NOTHING to adapt to the market. I can only be left with the conclusion that they simply don't care, or they're passionate about being the worst dispensary in the area. They don't keep their menus updated, don't regularly disclose their testing results, don't show prices on many products on weedmaps, and are significantly over priced compared to local competitors like Peake Releaf, Liberty or Health for Life. Truly a shame. I want to shop here, but they just suck. There's no point in sugar coating it. that said, their staff is friendly. That's the only thing they have going for them. And stop deleting reviews. How can they have a 4.5 when most recent reviews are 1 star? 11 of their last 15 reviews are 1 star.

Love PR, But Some Feedback

First, I love this dispensary. From the management to the front line, they are great. Compassionate, professional, very friendly. I also love their bulk pricing, pre ordering and their loyalty punch cards. Here's some constructive feedback. Tiered pricing shouldn't just be based on THC%. It should be based on strain and more importantly, grower. I'll never pay $55 an 8th for Forward Grow, SunMed or Grow West, and competitors here in the Rockville/ Bethesda market are charging closer to $40 for these growers. Also, in general, most dispensaries are down to $40-50/8th on average. You can get the flower of the day at that price point here, but that limits my choices. These are factors which have contributed to me spending more resources at a couple local competitors. I feel it's time for an adjustment. I hope it's coming. All things being equal, I'd much prefer to shop here, and I refer your shop to everyone I know.

Online Menu

Why the rush? Why no online menu? Why zero communication around things like online ordering, the rewards program, specials, etc.? Your competitors communicate better, post online menu's, and provide their patients with options. What in the hell is going on here?

No Online Menu?

Why aren't there online menu's available? This dispensary is way too far away to go to the store to check inventory. Unacceptable in 2019. You truly completely botched this merger.

Pursuit of Perfection

Leading the way in Southern MoCo. Great inventory. Generally transparent, though they've stopped posting their flower of the day on Weedmaps which is lame. They've also stopped their 10% online pre-order discount, with zero notice, which also pissed me off. But their staff, inventory and rewards program are great. Neck and neck with Liberty for the best dispensary in MoCo. Can get 8th's for $5 less at Liberty though, time to catch up.

Unfortunately, the reason why we are unable to show additional deal information is due to Weedmaps' requirements in regards to what can be shown in deals and promotions. However, we make sure to include this information on our text blasts, email newsletter, and website so that patients don't miss out! Thanks for the kind words regarding the staff and selection here and we'll keep working hard to provide better and better value for our patient community!

Hide Their Deals - Overpriced

They were first, but now they're last. appreciate their emergence, but they have failed to adapt. Lagging inventory. Had to call to ask for their 4/20 deals because they wouldn't post them on social media, and they weren't anywhere near what the competitors were offering. Furthermore, they don't disclose which growers they are selling on Weedmaps or what %'s they are testing at. On top of that, they changed their rewards program and my old rewards are now null and void. Truly a terribly run operation. They don't come close to hanging with Peake or Liberty. A real shame, considering they were first, and I was loyal to them. Badly need new management. I won't visit again until that is the case. The Wal-Mart of dispensaries. Solid inventory, but awful in every other way. Go away, please.

Needs work but still a great operation

Rating 5 stars because even despite of my recommendations, they are still a top notch business. What I'd like to see: 1. A loyalty/rewards program 2. Online ordering/pickup (they are always so busy) 3. Bulk discounts on non-Liberty flower Keep doing: 1. Super friendly and knowledgable staff 2. Crazy good inventory 3. Lowest 8th prices, even for top shelf 4. Clean store/great atmosphere A nearby competitor has great inventory, but doesn't sell Verano like Liberty does. They also offer a loyalty rewards program and bulk pricing, which is why I do most of my shopping there. If Liberty did these things, they'd be hands down the best shop in the state. Please consider it.

Still the best overall

Peake is still my go to dispensary, despite more thorough offerings from more growers at other dispensaries. Their bulk pricing model and specials still set the bar for the market, and their staff is super friendly. Also a big fan of their rewards program and their 10% discount for pre-orders. Their staff is the best in the state and remember your preferences and are quite knowledgeable. The way they consistently engage and highlight different growers is also a huge plus and has been very informative. My only feedback would be to stay on the leading edge with pricing (can get many strains that are priced at $55/8th at a nearby competitor. And to continue to cultivate relationships with additional growers. That said, they are always professional and honest when explaining the quirks to those things and why it's sometimes easier said than done. I have a lot of faith and trust in Peake, their leadership, their people and their process.

Consistently Comlaaaionate Pricing

Harvest sets the bar for reasonable and compassionate pricing. My youngest brother is handicap and unable to work, so their pricing is beyond huge in terms of providing much needed relief for one of the people I care about and love the most. Thank you for doing this, when the industry standards say you could be charging a LOT more than you are.

Insanely Good Menu, But No Bulk Pricing

Great staff and atmosphere. I love the layout and the atmosphere. Their menu is also amazing, featuring just about every grower in the state. This is a go to for me when I want that exotic, hard to find strain. They pretty much will always have what you're looking for. The only things I'd like to see are: A. Bulk pricing. For the most part, they are are packaging the flower themselves (with a few exceptions), but don't offer any price breaks by the 1/4, 1/2 or 1 oz. It's still way too expensive to buy by the 1/2 or full oz. B. A rewards/points program. I'd visit much more if that were the case. They really do have a great operation, but these two enhancements would make this the best dispensary in the state, hands down.

Best in MoCo

Consistently the best dispensary in Montgomery County. I love peeping the flower of the day, always a great selection and fair prices. And they have amazing prices on cooking buds. Furthermore, their partnership with Temescal Wellness has been so great. Saves me the trip and they constantly have amazing quality. Staff is always great. I like how they are cross training the staff and they are continuing to get more and more knowledgeable about the craft.

Continues to Impress...

I love this dispensary. Their staff is always on their A-game's, and so is their menu and prices. The Temescal grow event Friday was a really insightful experience. And the new Temescal flower that you just released is amazing. Beyond that, they have a great menu of growers (Curio, Grow West, Culta, gLeaf, HMS, Shore Naturals, Temescal and more). They consistently deliver the best strains available from their grower partners, and the prices are among the best in the state. Just an awesome place to call my home dispensary. Keep up the great work.

Quality Management

I had previously complained about the menu not being updated, but upon reflection, they do a better job with this than most. Furthermore, their attempt to "make it right" is appreciated, granted I haven't yet talked to the manager about that, and really don't intend to given their prices are already among the best in the state, as is their staff and inventory (including their own flower). Also love their distillate carts. Editing my previous rant, because it just feels like the right thing to do. I truly believe Liberty cares about their customers.

Hi GPRick85 - Sorry to hear about your experience. Liberty staff work really hard to ensure our menu remains up-to-date, but mistakes still happen. I would be happy to explain more about what makes it a challenging job and how we are trying to improve the system. I would also like to make things right with you after wasting your time last week. Just give the store a call and ask to speak with James.

Love KVS

Kannavis is awesome. That really do care and have always been in front in terms of offering compassionate pricing and consistently good product. And they are proactive with communicating if there is a system issue so you don't waste a trip. Also one of the few who make the online order flow seamlessly. They just really truly do put the patient first in everything they do. Awesome leadership, that's where it starts. But great staff all around. Couldn't be happier with KVS as my home base.

Oops, I did it again

I went back because I was desperate. Oops. I was quickly reminded why I don't shop here. Their $65 price point is the highest in the state. Much of their $60 and $55 level strains are at least $10 cheaper elsewhere. I just don't get it. On top of this, they still don't even cary many of the state's growers. It's too bad. I was initially excited about Euphoria given their west coast experience. What a letdown.

Feel Valued

Peake has become my "home" dispensary through a number of ways. 1.) Their service is stellar and consistent - that it's so consistently great, is what makes them so unique. They are always on their A-Games. 2.) Their depth of inventory is consistent and reliable - I've come to learn that I can count on them carrying the best strains from the growers they sell. 3.) Their pricing is fair and will improve - Their pricing isn't quite the lowest in the state, but it's close, especially taking into account their continuous offers and sales. I'm looking forward to earning points, since I come here multiple times a week now. 4.) They have excellent conflict resolution - my first review or two here weren't great, but they were awesome about clarifying some information for me while not making me feel bad for complaining in the first place. Summary - they have it all... great service, great pricing and product, and just simply get it. Keep up the great work. I'm excited for what's to come.

Questions

Excuse my ignorance, but doesn't trimming, curing at the dispensary alter the lab results further? Those sugar leaves/shake is high in THC and contains other valuable terpene properties. Why should a medical patient prefer lost potency? You being able to turn that into additional revenue with Pre-rolls is great for you, but why does that benefit me? Also, to the previous poster. I'm not new to dispensaries. I am slowly seeing the capitalistic greed take over this process. Every modification that has been done since last December has been with profits and business efficiency in mind. It seriously blows my mind that places refuse to carry some of the best growers in the state in my opinion. BTW, I've never once gotten shake or dried herb in a pre pack. As to the manager, I'll be back. Probably once a week or so. Just sharing honest feedback, not trying to lower your ratings. I'm also open to understanding, if I'm wrong here.

Customer Focused

The product is, over all, middle of the pack among MD growers. But their pricing and staff make this a 5-star operation. You can consistently get $160 ounces of untrimmed product, which is perfect for making edibles as the sugar leaves contain some precious extra THC. I'm a caregiver for my brother who has cerebral palsy and uses brownies to relax his upper body, and to sleep. As his tolerance has adjusted, Harvest's model has truly been amazing for my brother. Very affordable and perfect for his needs.

Great Staff / Limited Growers

Love the staff... very friendly, casual and give great advice. The pricing is also fair. They don't mark up prices just based on lab results, which I like. My biggest complaint is that places like this refuse to carry pre-packaged product, which happens to be among the best in the state, just because they can't make the margin they can on deli style. I consistently go elsewhere because I don't like a menu that will never carry my favorite growers.

We're very glad that you had a good experience with our staff! We pride ourselves on having a large menu with a wide variety of products to meet all of our patients' medical needs. We're sorry we don't carry your favorite grower but we don't carry prepackaged flower because it doesn't allow us to control the quality of the products that we give to our patients. This is not a decision we make based on pricing or margins. We put an additional trim on all of the flower we bring in, and cure it additionally at times when necessary. This allows us to sell the small flower at discounted prices and make our own pre-rolls out of the small flower and shake to ensure it doesn't end up in the patients container unless it was purposely bought at a discounted price. The containers used for prepacked flower aren't meant for long term storage and we want to ensure that our patients have access to the highest quality flower from our dispensary. We hope you decide to give us another try and allow us to serve your medical cannabis needs in the future!
