Customer Reviews

EDIT - Added one star back after the owner reached out to me. The shake was definitely just a qc issue and I am more than happy with how they made the situation right. Just like I said, the people who work here are great Staff is great but products can be hit or miss. Last purchase I made online did not say anywhere in the description that it was shake. I’ve seen bad weed before but this feels like I bought a container of oregano. Not only was it not advertised on the website as shake but this is some seriously low quality stuff. $50 for this and honestly I’m throwing it away because it’s not worth using.

Ahhh! I love it there! Best weed and I love their "The Healing Rose" CBD Bath Soak!

Seems overpriced I live in Framingham and recently got some moonbow from bountiful farms.I kinda liked it it was only 30$ for the 3.5 so I thought that was a good deal. I see it on your menu for 37$ and 45$ for reserve I was planning on stopping by when I visit the city next week but a 7$ increase on a product that isn’t even as powerful I cannot justify the trip.

1 Star - Lost My Trust I was a loyal customer of Blue River Terps for a long time, but I can't recommend this shop anymore. They used to set the standard—discounting concentrates and rosin older than three months so customers always knew they were getting fresh product. That policy is gone, and so is the transparency that came with it. My final visit sealed it. I bought what was labeled as a fresh press and got home to find it was actually a cold cure—dated from September of last year. That's not a mistake. That's mislabeling old product and selling it at full price. For a shop that prides itself on quality, this is unacceptable. If you shop here, double-check everything before you leave. I wish I had. Edit (January 13, 2026): I spoke with Peter, a manager, and he was kind and apologetic. They're making it right with a replacement. Bumping this up to four stars—I appreciate the response.

I haven't been to the store since I was suspicious of how they were handling the atm fee and that was early November. My account was charged tonight while I was at work. I've disputed it with my bank. Shady business. I decided to stop smoking weed or taking gummies after the first time I got suspicious. It's not worth it. Don't do drugs, kids.
