Flower Power Herbs & Roots - New York, NY | Dispensario di cannabis

I always wanted to visit a herbal shop and this is such a whimsical apothecary space. Wide variety of herbs, tinctures and holistic remedies. Employees are kind and friendly. I’m very shy so I appreciate that they’re just patient and willing to answer questions about anything. They offer testers which is great for people who are picky with smells, specifically essential oils or soaps.

I always enjoy taking a trip to Flower Power Herbs and Roots as they always have an herb I’m looking for. My experiences shopping here have always been nice however my last experience was different. It was my first time taking my boyfriend there. When we walked inside we greeted everywhere but was not greeted back. After browsing around we were told if we needed any help to let them know. Once we decided what we wanted we told one of the staff that there were several herbs we would like, and the response was that we could assist ourselves and use the ladder to grab what we needed. I didn’t appreciate this as it made my boyfriend feel unsafe to use a wobbly ladder and respectfully he doesn’t work there so that’s not his job. Again I’ve been to the shop several times and never experienced using the ladder to grab my own herbs, or just grab my own herbs at all. There was a customer in there prior to us coming in that seemed like a regular and was already engaged in conversation, so I feel as if the focus was on the conversation. I will still continue to shop here, however I will let it be very clear that moving forward myself, boyfriend or any customer for that matter should be climbing the ladder to assist themselves. We do not work there and that is very unsafe.
