About FLUENT Cannabis Dispensary - Kingston

On Route 28 in Kingston, FLUENT Cannabis Dispensary occupies a former Etain location — and the ownership change comes up frequently in reviews. Longtime customers who appreciated Etain's medical deals miss them. New customers, on the other hand, report friendly, casual service from staff who know the catalog. Budtender Terry gets specifically called out by name in customer feedback. A running special on free cones gets mentioned as a current perk. Hours vary by day: 10 AM to 8 PM Monday through Wednesday, extending to 9 PM Thursday and Friday, with a shorter 10 AM to 7 PM Saturday and 10 AM to 6 PM Sunday. The Kingston location pulls Hudson Valley shoppers heading north as well as locals. Rating sits at 4.5 across 434 reviews — mid-pack for the area, with mixed sentiment driven mainly by the ownership transition. Good fit for shoppers who want a known brand presence in Kingston and don't have prior Etain expectations to compare against.

Customers mention:
  • Friendly casual atmosphere
  • Knowledgeable bud tenders
  • Free cones promotion
  • Former Etain location

Customer Reviews

Ben Sayeg

Very friendly staff. Casual vibe but they know their stuff. They have a running special where you get free cones.

I love my budtenders there (special shout out to Terry). Etain leaving was the saddest day ever. I honestly and truthfully cannot stand Fluent. New ownership is giving "We care more about $$ than giving customers sales options so that they actually want to come back". Etain gave its med customers so many amazing deals that I constantly gave them free promo. I'd literally make videos and post them about how grateful I was to have a medical dispensary so close to me and that I could actually get the amount I wanted, and more BECAUSE of the sales. I use flower only. I've honestly never seen a dispo that doesn't have constant sales through out the week. Over the course of the changes between Etain's policies and Fluent's policies, I've been actively going to different dispos, even if they aren't medical which sucks because medical cannabis has more COA regulations than recreational does. They only have medical flower sales on the same day every week, you can no longer combine your points with the sales price, and just before I put my order in THIS morning, it basically said that if you place an online order and the item is on sale, you HAVE to buy it on the sale day. Sure, I get that SORT of, but damn. Sometimes I want the sale and can't pick it up that day. It's honestly bull all the rules they've put in place for literally no sales to be able to happen. The next closest medical dispensary is 35 mins from me and it's Curaleaf which they only have three or so different brands of flower and they're not the best brands either. I don't want to stop going there cause I appreciate those that work there and the convos we've had about the industry itself, but I also need a bang for my buck and having only one single sale for one day out of the week is incredibly inconvenient. There are so many other dispensaries that have WAY more deals...just wish they were medical. Hopefully they decided to be more ~ fluent ~ on sales and actually have years long customers (me) want to keep coming back.

It was my first time going into fluent tonight and I just have to say they are amazing. The girl at the desk explained everything very clearly and it was easy and quick. The gentleman who cashed me out was also amazing and very helpful and nice. I told them that I will definitely be back which I will I definitely recommend this place for people looking for a good dispensary!
