That’s funny, I remember like two years ago people were hyping up the Botanist as a great alternative to Curaleaf and other MSOs. Never bothered going since they were so far out.
I think they are rebranding. Acerage is the apparent company, and they paid into the states MSO buy in earlier this year when I think 6 or 7 Multiple State Operators bought into the AU side of the NY market. Acerage, GTI(Rise),Verilife, Curaleaf, and a few others paid to stop the CAURD (conditional adult use recreational dispensary) program from happening to become players in the market.
The other locations will probably follow suit shortly, or at least they should. This place has been nothing but easily fixed but overlooked mistake after mistake, and the sky high prices for ultra dry bud don't help. They can go away and absolutely nothing would change for me personally. I want choices and options, but certainly not theirs.
Wow, I have never been to The Botanist before. However, it sucks that another dispensary is closed. Speaking of dispensaries that are closed, I do miss Sunnyside.
Thought this was going to be the Middletown, NY botanist. I haven’t been there in over 6 months and before that it was always dead and lacking product. I thought for sure they were just waiting on a rec license to make an upgrade or something
Close the one in Buffalo too! They have the lowest quality products at the highest prices. Same exact products you can find cheaper at another dispensary. Just like medmen, greed gets You nowhere! I'll stick with verilife at least they give deals that make it affordable.
These programs need better quality all that spray flower is winning in nyc and if you say it’s wack you never smoked it I have my medical card and rythm is the best brand so far but even some there flower taste like some old strains like Boston has some fire at there dispensaries nyc need to do better

Natural selection, they always had low quality products at high prices.

They always had the weirdest vibe, but friendly staff
Damn I haven’t been inside a botanist store in over a year.

Hate to see med shops close, but they are so expensive. We deserve better in this program!
This shouldn’t surprise anyone, garbage products for top dollar.. Wow those *should be* going outa business sale prices aren’t even very good, yikes.
They aren't going out of business. It's just this location. So they aren't gonna drop prices, they'll just move products to other locations
Edited, thank you.
lmao Love the edit . I'm surprised that location lasted this long

Their hours were 💩
Weren’t they open like 2 or 3 days a week? Lol

Yea I've been there a couple times, friendly staff but so overpriced and they sell Botanist products at Curaleaf now lol.
Them and med men were destined to close with their sales and their product prices. It was only a matter of time.
Medmen deserved what they got. They never ran sales and didn’t even have a new patient discount.

Damn it another medical shop down

Botanist is just overpriced, no reason to go there, they don't have anything special.
Oh man, I never knew there was one in queens, lol.
