About the Botanist
This spacious and exquisite building is handicap friendly with an access ramp located on the left with stairs located on the right. The brick and mortar dispensary is owned by Acreage Holdings, Inc., one of the largest vertically integrated, multi-state operators of cannabis licenses and assets in the United States. “We have 5 retail stores throughout Ohio, (Akron, Canton, Cleveland, Wickliffe and Columbus),” said Erik Gott, Designated Representative for the Columbus Botanist store.
“Our Canton location opened on the first day of Ohio’s Medicinal Marijuana Program, and the other stores followed shortly after,” explains Gott. “We received an award from the Columbus Dispatch for the 2022 Readers’ Choice Awards, winning the title of Best Medical Marijuana Dispensary. We are constantly striving to enhance the patient’s experience, so it was gratifying to receive recognition from the community. It’s also worth noting that our Cleveland location was nominated by the local community as the best cannabis dispensary in Cleveland in both 2021 and 2022.”
The Botanist Cultivation and Processing
The Botanist also has a processing and a Level 1 cultivation facility in Middlefield, Ohio.

My Patient Experience with the Pride Gummies
With my discount, I paid $15 plus taxes for these scrumptious gummies that delivered consistent potency with natural fruit flavors. With my specific dietary needs, one half dose of these gluten-free, vegan and non-gmo are my new go to when I need GI pain relief. Or just to unwind and relax, I eat a whole one. The onset for my relief is usually between 15-20 minutes. They contain cannabigerol (CBG), a cannabinoid that plays a vital role for motivation. When I need to get up and be productive, they’re readily available to just take a nip of one and I’m ready to get things done.
I always recommend these excellent gummies to other OMMP Patients and others who are actively getting their Ohio medicinal cards. With the consistency of this awesome product, I make sure I have these delicious flavor-bursting gummies nearby for easy access with their push down twist lid that stays locked in place for safe keeping. The Botanist’s Columbus, Ohio dispensary is handicap accessible with an awesome staff readily available to answer your questions in a friendly and timely manner.
