The Botanist - Columbus

Love this dispensary! Chill vibes and incredible staff. Shout out to Andy, bud tender extraordinaire, who is so empathetic and kind, and has helped me so much! Request him, especially if you have questions. He is super knowledgeable and has been spot on with his recommendations for me. I will be back!

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.

This was my first experience at a dispensary in Ohio. I was very nervous and anxious walking in but they created a welcoming environment and encouraged lots of questions. I felt like I knew so much more about my cannabis journey after working with their staff. They were also very efficient in fulfilling my order.

This is my go to dispensary in Columbus. They just have a whole vibe that is different from any other dispensary I've been too. Its kind of like an apothecary/spa for weed. Their staff is super friendly and gladly helped me take my debit card out of the ATM once bc my nails were too long to grab the card. Haha, I was a bit embarrassed but then it happened to another lady and the guys just made us laugh and feel even more welcomed. I have been to Terrasana as well and its cool- their music is good, but overall between the Botanist, Terrasana and Verdant- I'm going with The Botanist. Thanks for always taking care of me!

Their staff at the Botanist is second to none. Out of the 10+ dispensaries here, this has been the most knowledgable and friendliest staff that I have found. Their products are a little more expensive than their competitors, but they are my go-to shop with any questions I may have surrounding strains or consumption. Excellent spot to check out if you haven't already.

Staff are cool. Wait times for online orders can vary but it’s all good. Prices are competitive. Sales are scheduled and easy to plan around. The Botanist is the best Columbus dispensary experience.

All good people. Chill environment. The waiting area is small but you usually aren’t there for only a couple minutes. Then inside it’s big and plenty of things to browse while wait for your order or to be called.

The staff is very friendly and helpful!!!

quality products the ones I got and you get served really friendly and thats something rare this days honestly... nice place

The only bad thing is having to wait outside. Which is understandable given COVID and the small lobby, but it still sucks, and is really my only complaint. As far as local dispensaries go, this is my #1 stop.

Always an easy experience. The staff is all super friendly and knowledgeable.

Actual PHD Pharmacist on site makes it stand out and feel “Medical” but the pharmacists are also down to earth people and amazing to work with will be back soon!

this is the best dispensary in columbus. prices are competitive and lowest mostly without promotions at other stores. it is very clean, spacious, and friendly atmosphere. staff are great, cheerful and informative. product is almost always available. they update menu daily. i have never waited for more than 20 mins with an average wait of 10 mins. i always feel upbeat and satisfied when i leave. others have me drained after visit (wait times). i recommend this dispensary to all. there is no other like it!

I’ve only ever visited out of state dispensaries, but this location is by far the best. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the facilities are secure and very nice. Online presence is the best that I’ve seen in central Ohio.

Super friendly almost every time, if you want to try new things they'll tall through options. High quality product all around.

Good job Botanist. I felt very welcome here. Love the facility, the location and the free parking. Friendly folks and a good product selection. The people in the back room were warm and more than willing to talk medicine with me. Lots of places try to rush you out the door once they get your money but I did not have that problem here. The vendor sales make for some killer deals if you catch them.

I've been to all the dispensaries in Columbus more than once, none seem to compare to the Botanist. Pricing is inline with the current market in Columbus. I have only received grade A flower and extract here. Every memeber of the staff that Inhave interacted with, has been wonderful. Arica is a great budtender, she cares about the customer and is very knowledgeable about the products offered here.

It was interesting and educational and I would return. I have not tested the product as of yet but it’s m interesting to see if this will help me.

Location is good decent amount of parking staff is very friendly and willing to help

This was my first visit. It will NOT be my last. Andrea helped us. She was super helpful in explaining their process and their products. She was also very informative in helping me find the right products. The atmosphere was amazing too. It was unlike any other place in town. I will be back. Thank you guys.

Very slow service even with a call ahead or online order.

It was great! The staff was super helpful.

Very nice 👍 The staff is very friendly and helpful

My intake with Zak was amazing. He was very nice and knowledgeable. I went back in the back and everyone was so nice back there. I had no idea what to get or do because it was my first time there.. but the girls walked me through it. The products have been life changing and I will for sure be returning to The Botonist
