Best cannabis stores in Essex, Ontario with authentic reviews

Chillen Buds...what a sweet shop for your recreational marijuana. I have visited many shops in” North America” in the past decade. Colorado was my first look at how these shops cater to their clientele, they have all more or less had the same style…. until I walked into Chillen Buds! What an Incredible modern take on the Cannabis Stores . I was amazed what a classy looking store! Everything in that store screamed class, comfort and quality. I’m from Quebec and the weed industry is government run here, so the experience is less than enjoyable, wish we had the level of professionalism and knowledge that I experienced in this store/province. It was the first time ordering from a store that has this level of professionalism and the experience was fantastic, while I was scrolling on one of their iPads, the store advisor asked if I needed help and showed me through the process, no pressure sales I loved it only suggestions for type of high I was looking for. They had a very wide selection of stuff, and although I am a flower/vape kinda guy and not a edibles fan,I tried their peanut butter cups, they are to die for :) Picked up some Animal Face,dosi gross#6 and sage n sour, quality was great , well its like all the stuff at the stores come from the same place since its heavily regulated. I found Chillin Buds sets itself apart from the rest, from the minute I walked in the staff are super friendly! It showed from the consistent amount of cheerful customers that the staff knows their clientele, When I’m back in Brantford/Paris Ont, expect to see me again thanks for the great experience and swag.

Been here a couple times. Staff seems lovely with good recco’s. Store is neatly organized and clean.

They were very kind and gave me a very good recommendation for the maple pancake joint.

Covid-no inside store option- but only place I have been able to find great lvl Marijuana! Great staff service, quick, and delightful!

Ganja Garden,, one of the best weed shops in Ontario,, def the best in this region,, always a wide variety of products, lowest prices with a super friendly staff that are funny & easy going. High Rating if ya like to get High haha

I have been ordering from highland for yrs now. I only found it on Google search and I'm glad I did. I have gotten help on what to purchase from Gloria and Beatrice, Nick and if I forgot anyone I'm sorry....I'm old lol. Oh and today's my birthday and they made my day perfectly perfect. I can't say enuff about the staff there becus really there are no words for being patient kind and helpful with customers. I work retail and it takes alot of talent to deal with people's moods at times. So overall, this is my store and i refer it to anyone who will listen. Thank you friends. Love ya all Karen

I loved how friendly and knowledgeable the staff are. I don't smoke so they were very helpful in finding me an edible or beverage that I might enjoy. They succeeded!! I think I've now tried almost all of the edibles they have to offer, and am going to get more info from them on vaping :)

I’ve visited this wonderful place several times every year. Love it here will always come here for Vacation every year from the Twin Cities! Keep up the great work!

staff is very educational about weed strains, picked up a weed journal and stickers during my visit

Just returned from this amazing place! The staff made me feel welcome the moment I walked in the door. They helped me find a few options and I left with a happy bag of goodness!!

This is by far the best spot in town. Really educated bud tenders. 7 mood walls based on terpene profiles instead of indica or Sativa.

Easily the best dispensary I’ve ever been too! Tom and Bre are knowledgeable, friendly and incredibly professional. They know their products very well, offering new shipments weekly, and always looking to get the best product in your hands. The store is clean, welcoming and extremely organized. It also has two esteemed K9 bud tenders that will be sure to make you forget why you came; between the licks and bouts for your attention. PLEASE don’t let them scare you as they’re beyond friendly!! I’ve tried countless dispensaries in Waterloo and I won’t go to any other than Uptown. From the minute you step foot through the door you’ll notice the Uptown difference. #uptownwaterloo

It was my first visit to the store to pickup an online order (which was ordered earlier and was ready promptly for pickup), and I got to meet the owner (I believe) who gave me a tour. We had a chat and she recommended a few products to me. They were excellent. The atmosphere is pretty chill and there's a neat display of different cannabis flower in these orbs that have a magnifying glass and holes for smells to come through. It was a pretty cool setup. I'll try to shop here more if I can. Check them out!
