The Botanist
Every score, lowest first: 7 · 7.6 · 8 · 8 · 8.5 · 8.75 · 9 · 10 → median 8.25
8 people who reviewed The Botanist wrote a mark out of 10 in their post. Those are the numbers above, all of them, and the median is the middle one. None of them came in at 6 or less. They run from 7 to 10 — with only 8 of them, that is simply the range of what people posted, not an estimate of anything.
Another 4 review posts named The Botanist in the title but have since been deleted from Reddit. They are excluded from every number on this page, not just from the quotes below — so 17 of 21 (81%) is what any of this rests on. Deleted posts get no link: a dead one reads as a made-up one.
6 quotesWhat reviewers actually wrote
Pulled from the bodies of the reviews these numbers are counted from — the ones whose author scored the product 6 or less first, then the ones who scored it 8 or more, each side newest first, up to six a side. The quote is the illustration; the score next to it is the evidence, and both come from the same person. If one side is short, that is the data: only 74 of the site's 739 scores are 6 or lower, so low-scored quotes are scarce everywhere. Each quote links back to the original post — a deleted post is left out rather than linked to a blank page. Sentences are picked by script and checked to read the same way on their own as they did in context.
Smell: 9/10 smacks you as soon as you open the bag gives a GMO/Sour smell that gets stronger as you grind up the buds straight gas.

18 months · 387 mentionsHow much it is discussed
This is discussion volume, not quality — a recall or a controversy pushes the line up just as much as praise does. Monthly mentions across posts and comments, Jan 2025 through Jun 2026.
Month-to-month swings here are too large to call a direction. The line is what happened; we are not going to tell you it is a trend.
