Thrive Dispensary Lewes

Happy it's legal, but the quality isn't very good. Those that have experience with quality will know what I mean. The flower tastes and smells like it's mixed with tobacco or something else. Smokes very harsh. If not, then it's just terrible flower. In their defense, I haven't found better in any other dispensary in delaware. Cannabis Dreams in NYC has the smoothest flower I have found legally. Will use because it's convenient. Gummies do zero for me.

Went over on NYE they advertised that they were open till 6:00PM. I arrived at 5:45 to see that the lights were out and the door was locked. I knocked on the window and was ignored by staff that just didn’t want to work. Never going back.

I fully agree with this comment, "Since moving to recreational and switching to Thrive, it has been harder to get my medicine since it is no longer sold in 1oz bags which used to be almost a months worth. I have to make more frequent trips from Seaford to get a little each week now. I miss First State Compassion." Do Better Thrive! Delaware’s medical cannabis patients just got steamrolled. First State Compassion used to be a patient-focused nonprofit. Then it got bought by MariMed — a publicly traded MSO — and everything changed overnight. The best strains that were once affordable under medical pricing? Now pushed into “retail” at higher margins. Medical menus downgraded to mid-tier leftovers. Prices up, quality down, because recreational sales bring bigger profit per gram. This isn’t an accident. It’s exactly what happens when a nonprofit medical program gets absorbed by a for-profit corporation with shareholders to satisfy. Delaware let former nonprofits convert, sell out, and operate without any protections for medical inventory or pricing — so the corporate playbook kicked in: move premium product to the expensive side and squeeze the medical market. In short: Patients built the system. Recreational profits are consuming it.

The only good thing left about this place is the staff, they are wonderful. I used to LOVE this place and would pay a slight premium to come here as a medical patient. I did that because this product and employees were worth the few extra bucks. They completely sold out on their medical patients within a day of being recreational. They sent emails and saying how they would always prioritize their med patients because they built this business on their backs. They raised prices significantly, took away most of the discounts for medical patients and the ones they kept they put on higher price product. Medical patients can find better deals and care elsewhere. I did reach out directly to management to voice my concerns and try to have a productive conversation on how they could treat their medical patients better, but received no response. Recreational took so long in Delaware because they didn’t want to affect medical patients access and affordability, thrive completely dumped their med patients with no second thought.

This is the first time being in a Dispensary. I am so glad I looked up Thrive and decided to visit. Upon entering I was greeted by Theresa to whom I explained my diagnosis and my desire to relieve anxiety and many questions as to what I may need to try to know what products to purchase. She was very kind, had a gentle demeanor, and started showing me blends and products in detail. She provided a contact at another location for patient questions and support which I will be using in the near future. She also had me working with Tyler at the counter who was fantastic as well. Very cool vibe and genuine engagement. He really gave me good insight on selection and what I aimed for also helping me find what product would be best for me. Both Tyler and Theresa were really great and patient with my questions, showing me regard and care which built my confidence to buy. I was helped also at the counter by a kind gentlemen I believe his name was Tavarous but if I am incorrect I apologize, he helped select a device and screens sharing how to use them and why they are beneficial, he too knows the product and spoke highly of the brands. Everyone overall made this experience great, and is why I will return to see them again at Thrive. Excited to share feedback soon! In addition the store was very busy, everyone did a great job servicing customers but also making sure my questions were answered, for that I appreciate them and want to acknowledge the excellence in service provided. If you are like me and new to going to a dispensary please go to Thrive where they will assist you kindly :). total spend 150+
