Update: the service has gotten worse, I am currently looking into emailing the owner. They are owned by the Greenleaf company but that is all I could find out online so far. If anyone could help me get in touch with the owner or their email I would greatly appreciate it.WORSE DISPENSARY IN TOWN!!!!!I wish I could give it zero stars. I went there early because the last time I went there they said I couldn't park in their parking lot unless I had a pre-order or it was before 10:45 a.m. when curbside pre-orders start. So I made sure to get there early to avoid this situation happening again. Unfortunately it did not help, no sooner that I got checked in was their security telling me to move my car. I asked him why because it was before the time but he insisted and also felt the need to escort me to my car for some reason. I saw someone else parked right behind me and asked why they could stay because we came in and registered at the same time and they also didn't have a pre-order but the security guard didn't bother him at all. That place is so much hype for unreasonable prices, not friendly staff, no parking and selective bothering.

I had the worst experience with the new security guard out front of this dispensary very rude I was just getting dropped off on the side of the building for curb side my driver had no plans of staying parked there. I was confronted by this rude security guard that my driver could not park there and I told the gentleman that my driver know that and that my driver normally drives around and just picks me up when I’m standing outside. The security guard stated no he can park right there as long as he’s in the vehicle it will not get towed. My driver did not want to illegally park anywhere because it did not want any type of tickets at all. I told the gentleman no my driver will drive around. No he can park over there. This man really argue with me out front of dispensary. Finally, my driver does what he needed to do which was drive around the block. I proceeded to go inside a dispensary. I am on my phone changing my address then the security guard tells me that I need to go back outside walk all the way to find my car and standby my car and change my address by time he tells me this I have already changed my password and I’m getting ready to log into my account and I am told that I need to go outside to do so and I there is no way that I need to go outside to log into my account to pull up my medical card. I have to show them my medical card and my ID when I enter I should never be told that I have to go outside to login to show my medical card that was horrible so finally I got completely frustrated and just left. I will never come back to this dispensary dispensary has poor parking you have to pay for parking or you have to have somebody there with you and even if you do that That you’re going to have the security guard harassing you out in front of the store. Horrible service way to overprice.

Good prices but you have to walk across the street to park, doesn't make one feel safe while they walk back to their car with a bag full of goodies, whilst downtown. Smh. Cool ppl that work here. Just kind of unnecessary to make people move their cars for curbside orders, that no one hardly gets.

Not ideal for patients living with chronic pain. Parking is confusing; parked in our usual space marked for the Botanist (we parked here 4 times previously with no issues) but last time were chased down by a security guard telling us we had to move the car across the street instead?? So, now you are hauling your painful self back to the car, finding a new spot, then trying to safely cross a very busy intersection without crosswalks or signage to alert cars of pedestrians, then navigating a tall-ish flight of steps. Once inside, the entire process is befuddling and dehumanizing, as the folks working there expect one to inherently know what their expectations/process is (seems a little different each time, depending on who is working, so there is no consistency) and are a bit cold and unhelpful. They silently push you along like cattle, watch you being perplexed, then only seem to speak up to scold you for doing it wrong 😂 If you have any pain or mobility issues, choose another dispensary with safer parking and more helpful employees.We can say that the people at the purchase counter are always kind, but all they are handling is the transaction. Seems by the time you are handing over large wads of cash, they can find it within themselves to promote you beyond cattle status 😂😂 We highly recommend Zen Leaf in Newark. Can’t always make the drive, but when we do, those folks make us feel welcome, are helpful every step of the way (they always offer to print and laminate our cards for us!) and seem to understand that every dispensary process/setup is different, so it’s natural to offer a little guidance to patients, instead of making them feel chastised while trying to navigate an incredibly complicated system. We’ve even received a follow up call from a extremely friendly and personable manager at Zen Leaf to ask how we liked our purchases and ask for honest feedback.We kept coming back to Botanist for the great selection and product, but the people always seem to leave us with a bad taste in our mouths. With their prices being higher than everyone else, you’d think friendly customer service would be a no-brainer. Maybe the folks working up front could take notes from the cashiers. Really wanted to love this place, and why we were initially dismissive of the unpleasant experiences. Now that they have far superior competition, we ditched our pre-order to spend that cash elsewhereEditing to add: we headed over to Amplify on Hamilton for the first time today and they were SO DANG NICE. Also recommend as it’s a shorter drive than to Zen in Newark (both of these places were so friendly, inviting and were prioritizing making everyone there feel comfortable. You can tell they like being there together and work well as a team.)

Won’t be returning to this dispensary. The staff is amazing, budtenders very caring and patient. But explain to me how you are selling cartridges but don’t have the correct battery????? I’m sorry, to me that’s disregarding patients needs. Doesn’t make clear sense at all. But I do appreciate the experience.

Good store and selection, but if you wanna use curbside pickup you better make sure you're there precisely within that 15 minute time slot, or you will be turned away. They will not work with you, at all. Lesson learned - I will stock up at the other dispensaries so I can avoid having to go to this one ever again. At very least the time slots could be 30-45 minutes. Who can reliably arrive anywhere in Columbus in a 15 minute window?!
My favorite dispensary in Columbus. It’s beautiful, well organized, they have great options and different specials all the time. The staff are all amazing and so kind & welcoming. I love it here, I don’t go anywhere else.

Their quality of service fluctuates. I've had times where I'd come in and people that came in after we're served before me. I'd say it was just coincidence but it happened several times. They are an ok store to visit though. Location is convenient or I'd make Verdant my primary due to the deals they have weekly

Cashless debit machine doesn’t work properly. Two reps also tried to swap orders with me and another customer. Created a big mix up which caused me to be late to work. I then had to use my personal paid time off to cover my time. Paid $120 for a $70 order. When I called and asked to speak with a supervisor I was told there was none that I can speak with. The word “sorry” sometimes just doesn’t cut it. Won’t bring me my money or time off back. I never had any issues prior but I will be fulfilling my orders elsewhere.

Completely happy and floored at how wonderful the staff here are! Every single one of the staff were above and beyond kind, insightful, and patient. I never felt rushed and it honestly felt like every member truly enjoyed working there.A special shout-out for the super kind soul wearing rainbow glasses, taking the time to explain the process of purchase and going into depth on the products in an amazing manner and tone!The Botanist is an extra 20 mins from my closest store, but this experience made me feel so safe, respected, and comfortable… The Botanist is now my go to!Plus, the interior and energy in the building is STUNNING.

Staff is always super friendly and helpful. They may not have the cheapest prices around, but I would rather spend a few dollars more and go to the botanist. Ordering online through their website for pickup or curbside is the way to go and the quickest way to get in and out. The staff rocks!!
Absolutely the best dispensary in Columbus. The staff is absolutely amazing.. Fast, funny, friendly, and always to the point. Well worth the small premium in price point to pay the right people. What I save in valuable time, and not having to deal with the extreme frustration of any other Columbus dispensary is priceless. I'll never go anywhere else.

Great service and set-up. Staff is accommodating from security check-in to purchase. Very well knowledgeable on their products and will gladly answer any questions or give advice. Good menu selection on all cannabis products. Plenty of space when inside and waiting for your order. Only downfall is parking...it being in downtown, it doesn't have its own lot. Expect to pay for street or lot parking. My go-to dispensary!

The workers are friendly and are happy to answer any questions you have. It was really nice inside as well. My only complaint is that only a few people (workers and patients) were wearing masks. I was scared the whole time I was inside since I am high risk for COVID. Many people who go to dispensaries are high risk as well. I strongly suggest making masks mandatory in your store, as this would make everyone feel more comfortable.

One of the best experiences I've ever had at a dispensary. The store is very nice and super chill, prices are competitive, and the staff is always friendly and happy to help. My first time only took 25 minutes between sign up to recieving my order and is almost always faster every time I return.This is definitely the most professional dispensary in Columbus.

Amazing clean dispensary, gorgeous displays. Fast service and friendly tenders.Park as close as you can to the building if you're in the public lot diagonal from the building. That's the free parking for here.

If you are in need of these services I feel this is the place to go. I have been to a couple other places not far from The Botanist and I feel so very comfortable with all the people that work there they are very personable and knowledgeable and will take as much time as needed to explain any questions you may have. The only thing I would like to see is better parking I feel very exposed coming and going.

I love coming to the Botanist! Security and front desk staff are always welcoming, kind, and try to get you back into the show room in a timely manner. They usually have what I need but sometimes they have a smaller variety of products compared to other dispensaries in Columbus. MOST (but not all) staff is knowledgeable about products and can recommend something great! The big parking lot close to the building and the ability to drop off right in front is a plus!

Probably one of the worst customer service experiences I’ve had in a long time. Really painful. I’m my estimation, not a professional or capable organization. “Consultation” was full of confusing and overly technical jargon and little relevant and helpful information. My recommendation: be careful how you use terms like “over medication” and “lethal” with a 91 year old. Hire competent people who are trained to do their job. I hope you can make changes and be successful.

I visited the store today . I have been in the store before with a pic of my passport and 2 ids. Today the pic of my passport was not accepted. I traveled 30 mile to and from. It was 2:00 and a male staff member was very impatient and rude to me as I tried to explain and show proof. People that come in are in pain already. I will never return and advise others not to. Need more compassionate staff person. You may want to rethink the people you hire and you need to be consistent. I’ve been coming there since you opened. No more until you change you philosophy about the people you hire. That rude snarly man was on the right, by the wall. Check him please! After checking EVERY OTHER DISPENSARY IN THIS AREA WOULD HAVE ACCEPTED WHAT I HAD. 10 /2/2001

This place is amazing. The staff sat down with me when I was researching and had questions. They spent a lot of time with me and didn't rush anything. The staff is ALWAYS friendly and very knowledgeable about this area. I have never felt rushed or anything. The ONLY thing I will say is it is a little on the expensive side BUT, with that said, their products, staff, and assistance make it worth a little extra. Also, they do offer Veterans discounts and discounts for people that are disabled or low income. Approx 25-30%. That makes them 5 stars, all day, in my book!!!

These long outdoor waits in the heat, the rain, and everything else have to stop. Can they make people do order ahead so everyone else can be safe from the climate? No awnings, just a pergola with nothing on it.

The Botanist is a really good dispensary. All of the employees are helpful, courteous, and knowledgeable. They always have good strains and decent prices. My ONLY complaint is, that they had a better system. When they text and tell you your online order is ready but it still takes a while for them to call your name. It’s never really an in n out trip. Other than that, I highly recommend.

I live 1-2 hours away from most Ohio dispensaries, so I know I will be in the car for a while. This place is worth the drive! From the gentleman that greets you at the door, the front desk staff, to the bud tenders - every single person was friendly and helpful. It's gorgeous inside! The selection and displays are great. They were Busy, but my wait time was minimal. This is where I plan to go in the future. Definitely give them a try.

Front Desk Reception needs more training. I was a first time patient and never greeted or asked questions, I was checked in as another patient with the same name. A simple check of Date of Births would have prevented this from happening. The dispensary agent did a really good job rectifying the issue and setting up a new patient profile on the dispensary floor with other patients waiting. As somebody in the industry, this is extremely embarrassing on the dispensarys behalf. Hoping for a better experience next time.

Honestly some of the best customer service I've experienced. Have a very smooth process for getting people in and out, and the pre-ordering system is great. Everybody there is very helpful and willing to answer any number of questions about the product. I wish more restaurants and bars had this kind of customer service.

I appreciate the fine selection and the quality of the staff members usually found here.We all know prices could be more reasonable. But, alas...This location has issues between the back of house where people fill the orders and the cashier.I place my orders in advance to be expeditious about time. Even though I’ve placed my order in advance somehow it gets shuffled behind at least four other clients who walked in behind me.The excuse today was that the dispensary has changed how they fill orders and that the cashier said they’re not being filled until you arrive. Even so, four other clients arrived after me and got out of there quicker.If you’re not preparing the orders in advance any longer perhaps you should let your clients know that.I understand accidents happen and things get shuffled around. But, a 4+ each time it’s happened is a little ridiculous...

All staff were incredibly kind and patient. I had a 45 minute consultation that helped me figure out which products would be most beneficial for my needs- the staff is so knowledgeable! Check out was easy and there is an ATM onsite since The Botanist only takes cash. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase.

While none of the dispensaries are run perfectly in Columbus, I consider The Botanist to be the best one. They always have wonderful customer service, orders are filled in a very reasonable amount of time, consistently, many times they seem to have batches of the same strains as other dispensaries that are slightly better quality than the others. There always seems to be somewhere close to park, and I've only had to wait longer than 30 minutes less than 5 times out of a hundred or so, which is a much lower rate than the other Columbus dispensaries. All in all, if you need the products they sell and are in Columbus, be sure to make this the first place you check.

The Botanist is, simply put, the best place to get medicine dispensed in the area. After visiting a couple different places when I was new to the program, I landed at The Botanist - and there I have stayed!! There are a multitude of reasons for this - the immaculate atmosphere, the reasonable prices, the close proximity to downtown - but the SINGLE BIGGEST reason is the employees. These budtenders are some of the most compassionate, enthusiastic cannabis advocates I have ever come across (and I’ve met a few!) and they really genuinely care about their patients. Every single Dispensary Agent I’ve had the pleasure of talking to there so far has been immensely helpful, but none more so than Andrea G!! I had the blessing of having my consult with her during my initial visit, and my god I have never felt more seen! She really took the time to educate me, and answer every single question I had (which was a lot, she’s seriously so knowledgeable!! and kind!) and then some! She also had some awesome recommendations which I am still so grateful for. The Botanist is seriously my go-to place now. I can definitely see myself going there a lot in the future!! 🙂

As a new medical marijuana patient. The folks at The Botanist. Made my first legal purchase as easy at it gets. The staff are equally knowledgeable as they are friendly. I spent less than half hour there.The Botanist located in Columbus has a modern architecture. Easy parking, and relatively convenient location.Only gripe I have is with the ATM, and it's limited tender amounts, and fee. However, that not going to stop me from going there.

I have been to every place in Columbus and they are by FAR the best! Actually I don't think any other location even comes close. Great staff, fantastic product selection, great prices and I was in and out pretty quick. They also offer a 25% discount to veterans. They are absolutely on par with stores in Colorado. This is the place for me.....

I’ve had nothing but awesome customer service (they know their stuff!) and understanding here and always walk away with new info and awesome products. Beautiful store, beautiful people. ❤️

I stopped in at 2pm on a Wednesday and just managed to beat the rush. As a new patient I felt I got processed faster than normal compared to other experiences, it usually takes at least 20 minutes for them to process your new patient forms, I was brought back around 12 minutes from first entering the facility. Great atmosphere, bud tenders, and medicine. My new favorite medical dispensary.

Prices are a little higher & sales are few but you shouldn't have to wait very long. Today was my first visit and they had a fabulous selection of products. parking is not beside the building , so be prepared to walk a very short distance. I will visit again but only when I have extra money to spend. The ATM cost $3

Awesome dispensary in Columbus. I’m a new medicinal card holder and this was my first experience with a dispensary. It was super professional and everyone was so nice and helpful. I told them what I needed it for and they knew exactly what strain to get me. Not to mention you feel like you’re in the future when you go into the building it’s super well decorated and kept very nice. Definitely the dispensary I will be using.

My boyfriend and I frequent this store a few times a month. The first time we went it was waaaay quicker than I could have ever imagined. They take you in the lobby 6 at a time. After everyone is checked in, you are ushered to the back where all the wonderful, yummy varieties of your medicine are kept. Goes super smooth every time we go. The staff is knowledgeable and courteous.

It doesn't make sense to place an online order at noon and then pick a specific pick up time if they do not have the product ready and you have to wait 20 min to pick up the order.Other than that, it is usually a wonderfully friendly place.

Interior was nice. We found close parking in a free lot near by. Not a large waiting area. The main 'showroom' was nice. Had a jewelry store set up with lit display cases of packaging samples and info cards and hardware but no one on the floor selling or assisting. The clerks, I assume because of covid, did not come out to help customers. There were only 2 employees that I saw. Online pick up seems to be their mainstay for now. Their flower 5.66 + selection is better than other shops in town, especially for counting days. Their specials weren't advertised but applied. If its your first visit with them there is paperwork. They'd prefer you come in early if that's the case.

Great place! Streamlined and very efficient, fantastic light, airy, and modern decor. SW feel. Pleasant, quick, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable staff, wide array of products at good prices. Usually a line so plan on being there at least 30 minutes, which can be somewhat reduced with order ahead.

The Botanist has set the standard for how to operate during a pandemic. You can either order online or walk in. The staff is friendly and if you do order online, your items will be ready for pick-up when you get there. No having to stand there while they print up your information tags.

As this is my 1st time venturing into the world of Cannabis I found the people I interacted with to be very professional, knowledge and friendly. Since I knew nothing the woman who worked with me took time to explain the various products and suggested usage guidelines. Parking was available but limited. Overall I found the interior to be well organized and very clean. I am not sure what more a customer would like.

Clean, beautiful facility with lovely displays. I was in and out quickly, all the staff assisting me were friendly. Pricing is consistent with most of the other Columbus places, but the experience alone is worth coming in for, and if you know what you want just call it in and make the trip even quicker.

Very clean and friendly!! Just got home and tested my medicine and let me tell you it is everything I needed. Thanks so much to Andy for your wonderful recommendations and for being so kind to me. Also thank you to Jared and Simone for making me feel so welcome! This will be my go to spot! Also there’s a parking lot right across the street and bar/restaurant so you could grab a drink after you shop! We were in and out 🌼🌼🌼 Blessings to All!

I am entirely new to cannabis use for either medical or recreational purposes. Getting my medical marijuana license was a bit of a Hail Mary pass for relief from chronic headaches.I was a little intimated at first, not being familiar with the history, culture, or language that has formed around cannabis use. After some research I chose The Botanist in Columbus to be the first dispensary I tried. After that first trip I see no need to check out the other dispensaries in town.The store is warm and inviting looking from the outside. The friendly front desk staff quickly checked me in and took me back to the purchasing area. The interior is warm and softly lit, with jewelry-style display cases showing off some of their hardware. An ATM is available in the store, but for a fee. Transactions are cash only, so come prepared. After only a brief wait I was assisted by another extremely friendly and helpful staff member, who was able to set me up with everything I needed to get started, and for a reasonable price, including a strain that has helped alleviate my symptoms. I have been back several times since that first trip, trying out different strains and forms, and everything I have purchased from The Botanist so far has been absolutely top notch.I will be returning to The Botanist for all my future purchases, and see no need to check out any of the other dispensaries in town.

Best dispensary I’ve been to in Columbus! You can get in and out quick if you know what you want, but they’ll take the time to answer any questions you might have and are happy to help guide you to what will work best for you. Everyone on staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the facility is always clean and well-maintained. This is the place to go!

I have gone to The Botanist for a few months now, and can honestly say every trip is fun, efficient, and organized. Every representative that works here that I have dealt with have been pleasant, but more importantly they are knowledgeable about their products! Rony, Jared, and the three other Botanists (sorry I don’t know ya’lls names! ☺️) answer all questions I have ever had. More importantly they never appear inconvenienced or as if they are in a rush to see you leave! Anyway, I could probably write a million more good words about this dispensary. Point is, it’s a well ran company with great products and great employees. If you need medicinal marijuana and want to get it in Columbus, this place is the best.

I honestly hesitated to review the Botanist because it's my favorite dispensary and it feels like a hidden gem. I have been going regularly for several months and have never had to wait to be assisted. The prices are reasonable, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and it's always a very quick process. Even if you don't order ahead it takes a maximum of 10 minutes to get checked in, order, and receive your product if you know what you are looking for. Ordering ahead makes it that much faster, maybe 5 minutes tops? They are always adding new products and have a wide variety of options for every budget and preferred consumption method. Also they occasionally do fundraising drives, encouraging patients to donate their change to their chosen charitable organization. They recently did this for cancer research. A great dispensary with a great staff.

Incredible! 15% off of 10 items is just what I needed to nest myself in my home for at least the next month. I called my order ahead and it was ready when I got there. Very quick. Very easy. Very safe. Go get the peppermints before they are gone. :)EDIT: 15% off of 10 is TODAY ONLY (until the end of March) but there are deals consistently!

The store experience and the medication was amazing. I felt so much more secure and healthy compared to going to the mainstream pharmacies where I used to pick up my meds that caused extensive side effects with less relief. And, I am a disabled Vet, and they offer a 25% discount on all the medication.

The manager has taken extra time during several of my visits to get to know my son and I in order to assist us with our purchases. He not only listens to our needs medically but also recommends product based on our budget. Recently the customer appreciation discount was a great incentive for trying new products. He asked for feedback about our experience with this location and actively listened to both complimentary information and constructive criticism. This dispensary genuinely wants to best serve the medical marijuana consumer population in the best way possible.

I visited this dispensary for the first time today. I was very impressed. All of the staff were very professional and courteous. I Also met the manager who went out of his way to greet all the clientele. As a veteran I appreciate that they give a discount. The parking was a little confusing but once I was inside they showed me where the complementary parking was located for next time. Make sure you check out their website before you go so you know where to park.

I give a neutral rating. We came from out of county after getting a text from the dispensary advertising 15% off flower. I have a 25% indigent discount. My thought was we could stack the discounts like other dispensaries have done. They told us no. We went from assuming we'd pay a certain amount to that amount + more. Major disappointment. Very sad considering tax isn't figured in menu prices. Other dispensaries include tax in price. Perhaps, when they send such advertisements, theyll mention their offers cant be used in combination with the indigent discount. Other than that, top notch customer service and love the atmosphere. What breaks my heart is we pay 3-4 times in price compared to our neighbors above in Michigan. It's heartbreaking to witness patients state they'll risk a felony charge bringing cannabis back from Michigan because Ohio charges too much. Every person that's a patient is genuinely sick. I just don't understand how it makes any sense to charge patients the same as street dealers. Your store is fantastic. Your prices are awful.

Once I found where to park everything was great! It’s a really cool place and set up. The building felt safe and professional. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. Since it was my first time I got the grand tour. I love that they have a pharmacist there and medical/pharmacy students from OSU. They seem to really care about the science behind everything and want feedback from patients about what strains are working for what ailments for them. It was a great experience and I will def be back!

The Botanist Columbus is a great dispensary. Now that there are more choices of where to go, the little things really make a difference. The location is urban but parking is close. You are greeted at the locked front door by security who actually takes a moment to speak to you while welcoming you. The receptionist was equally as friendly and the check in process was efficient, both as a first timer and returning patient. The “budtender” quickly gauged how much assistance I was looking for and provided a menu folder. They were knowledgeable and interested in past purchases, as well, in order to communicate those experiences to other patients. They have a wide variety of products- especially sativas which are lacking at some other dispensaries. The prices are competitive for the market and they offer discounts, which helps. There are multiple people working and both visits I was in quickly and never felt rushed once inside. The vibe is relaxed and the space is large, open and beautifully decorated.

WOW- just wow. This place is very swanky. Very clean, super friendly security and staff. Jared was amazing and went the extra mile to ensure my first dispensary experience was thorough.

Not going to comment on pricing, which is higher than out in the sticks, for example, for obvious reasons.The vibe is relaxed here, which might be due to time of day or location.I've been to all Columbus dispensaries now and this is the one I like the best. I can call and speak to someone about the number of days left or whatever. Stuff like that is what makes a dispensary stick out for me.

    Update: the service has gotten worse, I am currently looking into emailing the owner. They are owned by the Greenleaf company but that is all I could find out online so far. If anyone could help me get in touch with the owner or their email I would greatly appreciate it.WORSE DISPENSARY IN TOWN!!!!!I wish I could give it zero stars. I went there early because the last time I went there they said I couldn't park in their parking lot unless I had a pre-order or it was before 10:45 a.m. when curbside pre-orders start. So I made sure to get there early to avoid this situation happening again. Unfortunately it did not help, no sooner that I got checked in was their security telling me to move my car. I asked him why because it was before the time but he insisted and also felt the need to escort me to my car for some reason. I saw someone else parked right behind me and asked why they could stay because we came in and registered at the same time and they also didn't have a pre-order but the security guard didn't bother him at all. That place is so much hype for unreasonable prices, not friendly staff, no parking and selective bothering.

    I had the worst experience with the new security guard out front of this dispensary very rude I was just getting dropped off on the side of the building for curb side my driver had no plans of staying parked there. I was confronted by this rude security guard that my driver could not park there and I told the gentleman that my driver know that and that my driver normally drives around and just picks me up when I’m standing outside. The security guard stated no he can park right there as long as he’s in the vehicle it will not get towed. My driver did not want to illegally park anywhere because it did not want any type of tickets at all. I told the gentleman no my driver will drive around. No he can park over there. This man really argue with me out front of dispensary. Finally, my driver does what he needed to do which was drive around the block. I proceeded to go inside a dispensary. I am on my phone changing my address then the security guard tells me that I need to go back outside walk all the way to find my car and standby my car and change my address by time he tells me this I have already changed my password and I’m getting ready to log into my account and I am told that I need to go outside to do so and I there is no way that I need to go outside to log into my account to pull up my medical card. I have to show them my medical card and my ID when I enter I should never be told that I have to go outside to login to show my medical card that was horrible so finally I got completely frustrated and just left. I will never come back to this dispensary dispensary has poor parking you have to pay for parking or you have to have somebody there with you and even if you do that That you’re going to have the security guard harassing you out in front of the store. Horrible service way to overprice.

    Good prices but you have to walk across the street to park, doesn't make one feel safe while they walk back to their car with a bag full of goodies, whilst downtown. Smh. Cool ppl that work here. Just kind of unnecessary to make people move their cars for curbside orders, that no one hardly gets.

    Not ideal for patients living with chronic pain. Parking is confusing; parked in our usual space marked for the Botanist (we parked here 4 times previously with no issues) but last time were chased down by a security guard telling us we had to move the car across the street instead?? So, now you are hauling your painful self back to the car, finding a new spot, then trying to safely cross a very busy intersection without crosswalks or signage to alert cars of pedestrians, then navigating a tall-ish flight of steps. Once inside, the entire process is befuddling and dehumanizing, as the folks working there expect one to inherently know what their expectations/process is (seems a little different each time, depending on who is working, so there is no consistency) and are a bit cold and unhelpful. They silently push you along like cattle, watch you being perplexed, then only seem to speak up to scold you for doing it wrong 😂 If you have any pain or mobility issues, choose another dispensary with safer parking and more helpful employees.We can say that the people at the purchase counter are always kind, but all they are handling is the transaction. Seems by the time you are handing over large wads of cash, they can find it within themselves to promote you beyond cattle status 😂😂 We highly recommend Zen Leaf in Newark. Can’t always make the drive, but when we do, those folks make us feel welcome, are helpful every step of the way (they always offer to print and laminate our cards for us!) and seem to understand that every dispensary process/setup is different, so it’s natural to offer a little guidance to patients, instead of making them feel chastised while trying to navigate an incredibly complicated system. We’ve even received a follow up call from a extremely friendly and personable manager at Zen Leaf to ask how we liked our purchases and ask for honest feedback.We kept coming back to Botanist for the great selection and product, but the people always seem to leave us with a bad taste in our mouths. With their prices being higher than everyone else, you’d think friendly customer service would be a no-brainer. Maybe the folks working up front could take notes from the cashiers. Really wanted to love this place, and why we were initially dismissive of the unpleasant experiences. Now that they have far superior competition, we ditched our pre-order to spend that cash elsewhereEditing to add: we headed over to Amplify on Hamilton for the first time today and they were SO DANG NICE. Also recommend as it’s a shorter drive than to Zen in Newark (both of these places were so friendly, inviting and were prioritizing making everyone there feel comfortable. You can tell they like being there together and work well as a team.)

    Good store and selection, but if you wanna use curbside pickup you better make sure you're there precisely within that 15 minute time slot, or you will be turned away. They will not work with you, at all. Lesson learned - I will stock up at the other dispensaries so I can avoid having to go to this one ever again. At very least the time slots could be 30-45 minutes. Who can reliably arrive anywhere in Columbus in a 15 minute window?!
    My favorite dispensary in Columbus. It’s beautiful, well organized, they have great options and different specials all the time. The staff are all amazing and so kind & welcoming. I love it here, I don’t go anywhere else.

    Their quality of service fluctuates. I've had times where I'd come in and people that came in after we're served before me. I'd say it was just coincidence but it happened several times. They are an ok store to visit though. Location is convenient or I'd make Verdant my primary due to the deals they have weekly

    Cashless debit machine doesn’t work properly. Two reps also tried to swap orders with me and another customer. Created a big mix up which caused me to be late to work. I then had to use my personal paid time off to cover my time. Paid $120 for a $70 order. When I called and asked to speak with a supervisor I was told there was none that I can speak with. The word “sorry” sometimes just doesn’t cut it. Won’t bring me my money or time off back. I never had any issues prior but I will be fulfilling my orders elsewhere.

I never felt rushed and it honestly felt like every member truly enjoyed working there.A special shout-out for the super kind soul wearing rainbow glasses, taking the time to explain the process of purchase and going into depth on the products in an amazing manner and tone!The Botanist is an extra 20 mins from my closest store, but this experience made me feel so safe, respected, and comfortable… The Botanist is now my go to!Plus, the interior and energy in the building is STUNNING.

    Staff is always super friendly and helpful. They may not have the cheapest prices around, but I would rather spend a few dollars more and go to the botanist. Ordering online through their website for pickup or curbside is the way to go and the quickest way to get in and out. The staff rocks!!
    Absolutely the best dispensary in Columbus. The staff is absolutely amazing.. Fast, funny, friendly, and always to the point. Well worth the small premium in price point to pay the right people. What I save in valuable time, and not having to deal with the extreme frustration of any other Columbus dispensary is priceless. I'll never go anywhere else.

    Great service and set-up. Staff is accommodating from security check-in to purchase. Very well knowledgeable on their products and will gladly answer any questions or give advice. Good menu selection on all cannabis products. Plenty of space when inside and waiting for your order. Only downfall is parking...it being in downtown, it doesn't have its own lot. Expect to pay for street or lot parking. My go-to dispensary!

    Absolutely my favorite dispensary. It's very efficient and the staff is welcoming and personable. I have yet to have a bad experience. Avoid the first of the month if you can, it gets super busy.

    The workers are friendly and are happy to answer any questions you have. It was really nice inside as well. My only complaint is that only a few people (workers and patients) were wearing masks. I was scared the whole time I was inside since I am high risk for COVID. Many people who go to dispensaries are high risk as well. I strongly suggest making masks mandatory in your store, as this would make everyone feel more comfortable.

    One of the best experiences I've ever had at a dispensary. The store is very nice and super chill, prices are competitive, and the staff is always friendly and happy to help. My first time only took 25 minutes between sign up to recieving my order and is almost always faster every time I return.This is definitely the most professional dispensary in Columbus.

    Great Customer Service, the first time patient process was extremely quick and had a huge selection. Will definitely be back this dispensary. Highly Recommend!
    Amazing clean dispensary, gorgeous displays. Fast service and friendly tenders.Park as close as you can to the building if you're in the public lot diagonal from the building. That's the free parking for here.

    If you are in need of these services I feel this is the place to go. I have been to a couple other places not far from The Botanist and I feel so very comfortable with all the people that work there they are very personable and knowledgeable and will take as much time as needed to explain any questions you may have. The only thing I would like to see is better parking I feel very exposed coming and going.

    I love coming to the Botanist! Security and front desk staff are always welcoming, kind, and try to get you back into the show room in a timely manner. They usually have what I need but sometimes they have a smaller variety of products compared to other dispensaries in Columbus. MOST (but not all) staff is knowledgeable about products and can recommend something great! The big parking lot close to the building and the ability to drop off right in front is a plus!

    Probably one of the worst customer service experiences I’ve had in a long time. Really painful. I’m my estimation, not a professional or capable organization. “Consultation” was full of confusing and overly technical jargon and little relevant and helpful information. My recommendation: be careful how you use terms like “over medication” and “lethal” with a 91 year old. Hire competent people who are trained to do their job. I hope you can make changes and be successful.

    I visited the store today . I have been in the store before with a pic of my passport and 2 ids. Today the pic of my passport was not accepted. I traveled 30 mile to and from. It was 2:00 and a male staff member was very impatient and rude to me as I tried to explain and show proof. People that come in are in pain already. I will never return and advise others not to. Need more compassionate staff person. You may want to rethink the people you hire and you need to be consistent. I’ve been coming there since you opened. No more until you change you philosophy about the people you hire. That rude snarly man was on the right, by the wall. Check him please! After checking EVERY OTHER DISPENSARY IN THIS AREA WOULD HAVE ACCEPTED WHAT I HAD. 10 /2/2001

    This place is amazing. The staff sat down with me when I was researching and had questions. They spent a lot of time with me and didn't rush anything. The staff is ALWAYS friendly and very knowledgeable about this area. I have never felt rushed or anything. The ONLY thing I will say is it is a little on the expensive side BUT, with that said, their products, staff, and assistance make it worth a little extra. Also, they do offer Veterans discounts and discounts for people that are disabled or low income. Approx 25-30%. That makes them 5 stars, all day, in my book!!!

    These long outdoor waits in the heat, the rain, and everything else have to stop. Can they make people do order ahead so everyone else can be safe from the climate? No awnings, just a pergola with nothing on it.

    The Botanist is a really good dispensary. All of the employees are helpful, courteous, and knowledgeable. They always have good strains and decent prices. My ONLY complaint is, that they had a better system. When they text and tell you your online order is ready but it still takes a while for them to call your name. It’s never really an in n out trip. Other than that, I highly recommend.

    I live 1-2 hours away from most Ohio dispensaries, so I know I will be in the car for a while. This place is worth the drive! From the gentleman that greets you at the door, the front desk staff, to the bud tenders - every single person was friendly and helpful. It's gorgeous inside! The selection and displays are great. They were Busy, but my wait time was minimal. This is where I plan to go in the future. Definitely give them a try.

    Front Desk Reception needs more training. I was a first time patient and never greeted or asked questions, I was checked in as another patient with the same name. A simple check of Date of Births would have prevented this from happening. The dispensary agent did a really good job rectifying the issue and setting up a new patient profile on the dispensary floor with other patients waiting. As somebody in the industry, this is extremely embarrassing on the dispensarys behalf. Hoping for a better experience next time.

    I appreciate the fine selection and the quality of the staff members usually found here.We all know prices could be more reasonable. But, alas...This location has issues between the back of house where people fill the orders and the cashier.I place my orders in advance to be expeditious about time. Even though I’ve placed my order in advance somehow it gets shuffled behind at least four other clients who walked in behind me.The excuse today was that the dispensary has changed how they fill orders and that the cashier said they’re not being filled until you arrive. Even so, four other clients arrived after me and got out of there quicker.If you’re not preparing the orders in advance any longer perhaps you should let your clients know that.I understand accidents happen and things get shuffled around. But, a 4+ each time it’s happened is a little ridiculous...

    All staff were incredibly kind and patient. I had a 45 minute consultation that helped me figure out which products would be most beneficial for my needs- the staff is so knowledgeable! Check out was easy and there is an ATM onsite since The Botanist only takes cash. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase.

    While none of the dispensaries are run perfectly in Columbus, I consider The Botanist to be the best one. They always have wonderful customer service, orders are filled in a very reasonable amount of time, consistently, many times they seem to have batches of the same strains as other dispensaries that are slightly better quality than the others. There always seems to be somewhere close to park, and I've only had to wait longer than 30 minutes less than 5 times out of a hundred or so, which is a much lower rate than the other Columbus dispensaries. All in all, if you need the products they sell and are in Columbus, be sure to make this the first place you check.

    The Botanist is, simply put, the best place to get medicine dispensed in the area. After visiting a couple different places when I was new to the program, I landed at The Botanist - and there I have stayed!! There are a multitude of reasons for this - the immaculate atmosphere, the reasonable prices, the close proximity to downtown - but the SINGLE BIGGEST reason is the employees. These budtenders are some of the most compassionate, enthusiastic cannabis advocates I have ever come across (and I’ve met a few!) and they really genuinely care about their patients. Every single Dispensary Agent I’ve had the pleasure of talking to there so far has been immensely helpful, but none more so than Andrea G!! I had the blessing of having my consult with her during my initial visit, and my god I have never felt more seen! She really took the time to educate me, and answer every single question I had (which was a lot, she’s seriously so knowledgeable!! and kind!) and then some! She also had some awesome recommendations which I am still so grateful for. The Botanist is seriously my go-to place now. I can definitely see myself going there a lot in the future!! 🙂

    As a new medical marijuana patient. The folks at The Botanist. Made my first legal purchase as easy at it gets. The staff are equally knowledgeable as they are friendly. I spent less than half hour there.The Botanist located in Columbus has a modern architecture. Easy parking, and relatively convenient location.Only gripe I have is with the ATM, and it's limited tender amounts, and fee. However, that not going to stop me from going there.

    I have been to every place in Columbus and they are by FAR the best! Actually I don't think any other location even comes close. Great staff, fantastic product selection, great prices and I was in and out pretty quick. They also offer a 25% discount to veterans. They are absolutely on par with stores in Colorado. This is the place for me.....

    I stopped in at 2pm on a Wednesday and just managed to beat the rush. As a new patient I felt I got processed faster than normal compared to other experiences, it usually takes at least 20 minutes for them to process your new patient forms, I was brought back around 12 minutes from first entering the facility. Great atmosphere, bud tenders, and medicine. My new favorite medical dispensary.

I told them what I needed it for and they knew exactly what strain to get me. Not to mention you feel like you’re in the future when you go into the building it’s super well decorated and kept very nice. Definitely the dispensary I will be using.

After everyone is checked in, you are ushered to the back where all the wonderful, yummy varieties of your medicine are kept. Goes super smooth every time we go.

    Interior was nice. We found close parking in a free lot near by. Not a large waiting area. The main 'showroom' was nice. Had a jewelry store set up with lit display cases of packaging samples and info cards and hardware but no one on the floor selling or assisting. The clerks, I assume because of covid, did not come out to help customers. There were only 2 employees that I saw. Online pick up seems to be their mainstay for now. Their flower 5.66 + selection is better than other shops in town, especially for counting days. Their specials weren't advertised but applied. If its your first visit with them there is paperwork. They'd prefer you come in early if that's the case.

    The Botanist has set the standard for how to operate during a pandemic. You can either order online or walk in. The staff is friendly and if you do order online, your items will be ready for pick-up when you get there. No having to stand there while they print up your information tags.

    As this is my 1st time venturing into the world of Cannabis I found the people I interacted with to be very professional, knowledge and friendly. Since I knew nothing the woman who worked with me took time to explain the various products and suggested usage guidelines. Parking was available but limited. Overall I found the interior to be well organized and very clean. I am not sure what more a customer would like.

    I am entirely new to cannabis use for either medical or recreational purposes. Getting my medical marijuana license was a bit of a Hail Mary pass for relief from chronic headaches.I was a little intimated at first, not being familiar with the history, culture, or language that has formed around cannabis use. After some research I chose The Botanist in Columbus to be the first dispensary I tried. After that first trip I see no need to check out the other dispensaries in town.The store is warm and inviting looking from the outside. The friendly front desk staff quickly checked me in and took me back to the purchasing area. The interior is warm and softly lit, with jewelry-style display cases showing off some of their hardware. An ATM is available in the store, but for a fee. Transactions are cash only, so come prepared. After only a brief wait I was assisted by another extremely friendly and helpful staff member, who was able to set me up with everything I needed to get started, and for a reasonable price, including a strain that has helped alleviate my symptoms. I have been back several times since that first trip, trying out different strains and forms, and everything I have purchased from The Botanist so far has been absolutely top notch.I will be returning to The Botanist for all my future purchases, and see no need to check out any of the other dispensaries in town.

You can get in and out quick if you know what you want, but they’ll take the time to answer any questions you might have and are happy to help guide you to what will work best for you. Everyone on staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the facility is always clean and well-maintained. This is the place to go!

    I have gone to The Botanist for a few months now, and can honestly say every trip is fun, efficient, and organized. Every representative that works here that I have dealt with have been pleasant, but more importantly they are knowledgeable about their products! Rony, Jared, and the three other Botanists (sorry I don’t know ya’lls names! ☺️) answer all questions I have ever had. More importantly they never appear inconvenienced or as if they are in a rush to see you leave! Anyway, I could probably write a million more good words about this dispensary. Point is, it’s a well ran company with great products and great employees. If you need medicinal marijuana and want to get it in Columbus, this place is the best.

    I honestly hesitated to review the Botanist because it's my favorite dispensary and it feels like a hidden gem. I have been going regularly for several months and have never had to wait to be assisted. The prices are reasonable, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and it's always a very quick process. Even if you don't order ahead it takes a maximum of 10 minutes to get checked in, order, and receive your product if you know what you are looking for. Ordering ahead makes it that much faster, maybe 5 minutes tops? They are always adding new products and have a wide variety of options for every budget and preferred consumption method. Also they occasionally do fundraising drives, encouraging patients to donate their change to their chosen charitable organization. They recently did this for cancer research. A great dispensary with a great staff.

    Incredible! 15% off of 10 items is just what I needed to nest myself in my home for at least the next month. I called my order ahead and it was ready when I got there. Very quick. Very easy. Very safe. Go get the peppermints before they are gone. :)EDIT: 15% off of 10 is TODAY ONLY (until the end of March) but there are deals consistently!

    The store experience and the medication was amazing. I felt so much more secure and healthy compared to going to the mainstream pharmacies where I used to pick up my meds that caused extensive side effects with less relief. And, I am a disabled Vet, and they offer a 25% discount on all the medication.

    The manager has taken extra time during several of my visits to get to know my son and I in order to assist us with our purchases. He not only listens to our needs medically but also recommends product based on our budget. Recently the customer appreciation discount was a great incentive for trying new products. He asked for feedback about our experience with this location and actively listened to both complimentary information and constructive criticism. This dispensary genuinely wants to best serve the medical marijuana consumer population in the best way possible.

    I visited this dispensary for the first time today. I was very impressed. All of the staff were very professional and courteous. I Also met the manager who went out of his way to greet all the clientele. As a veteran I appreciate that they give a discount. The parking was a little confusing but once I was inside they showed me where the complementary parking was located for next time. Make sure you check out their website before you go so you know where to park.

    I give a neutral rating. We came from out of county after getting a text from the dispensary advertising 15% off flower. I have a 25% indigent discount. My thought was we could stack the discounts like other dispensaries have done. They told us no. We went from assuming we'd pay a certain amount to that amount + more. Major disappointment. Very sad considering tax isn't figured in menu prices. Other dispensaries include tax in price. Perhaps, when they send such advertisements, theyll mention their offers cant be used in combination with the indigent discount. Other than that, top notch customer service and love the atmosphere. What breaks my heart is we pay 3-4 times in price compared to our neighbors above in Michigan. It's heartbreaking to witness patients state they'll risk a felony charge bringing cannabis back from Michigan because Ohio charges too much. Every person that's a patient is genuinely sick. I just don't understand how it makes any sense to charge patients the same as street dealers. Your store is fantastic. Your prices are awful.

    Once I found where to park everything was great! It’s a really cool place and set up. The building felt safe and professional. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. Since it was my first time I got the grand tour. I love that they have a pharmacist there and medical/pharmacy students from OSU. They seem to really care about the science behind everything and want feedback from patients about what strains are working for what ailments for them. It was a great experience and I will def be back!

    The Botanist is the best dispensary I have been to in Ohio. The people who work there are amazing. Jared was extremely helpful today and very knowledgeable in explaining all the rules, etc. The decor is really pretty! So happy they finally opened in the Arena District!

    The staff is awesome and knowledgeable. Very friendly and kind. Selection is one of the best and the prices are fair for the area. Location is easy, just make sure to park on the side in their designated Free Parking area. Always come back time after time and they are one of the only places to have "Deals" Major + for me

    The Botanist Columbus is a great dispensary. Now that there are more choices of where to go, the little things really make a difference. The location is urban but parking is close. You are greeted at the locked front door by security who actually takes a moment to speak to you while welcoming you. The receptionist was equally as friendly and the check in process was efficient, both as a first timer and returning patient. The “budtender” quickly gauged how much assistance I was looking for and provided a menu folder. They were knowledgeable and interested in past purchases, as well, in order to communicate those experiences to other patients. They have a wide variety of products- especially sativas which are lacking at some other dispensaries. The prices are competitive for the market and they offer discounts, which helps. There are multiple people working and both visits I was in quickly and never felt rushed once inside. The vibe is relaxed and the space is large, open and beautifully decorated.

    WOW- just wow. This place is very swanky. Very clean, super friendly security and staff. Jared was amazing and went the extra mile to ensure my first dispensary experience was thorough. Roni, the pharmacist was very informative and provided a Ritz Carlton experience as well. Parking was super easy to find and free. There was no wait! Great display cases, easy process. Thank you!

    Not going to comment on pricing, which is higher than out in the sticks, for example, for obvious reasons.The vibe is relaxed here, which might be due to time of day or location.I've been to all Columbus dispensaries now and this is the one I like the best. I can call and speak to someone about the number of days left or whatever. Stuff like that is what makes a dispensary stick out for me.

    15% off on absurdly overpriced product is not a discount. Not sure who you're trying to trick with that gimmick.. Shame on you guys and your Ohio units.. The intelligent ohioans go to Michigan, we goto Holistic health Wayne.
