More than 2,500 cannabis consumers voted in an online poll by The Montgonion, a satirical Montgomery County website that, while known for its humor, wasn’t joking around about this list.

The 2025 rankings for Montgomery County’s top recreational cannabis dispensaries were based on real customer input, focusing on service, selection, pricing, rewards, and parking. Peake ReLeaf in Rockville took the top spot, followed by Rise in Silver Spring and gLeaf in Rockville. The full list includes rankings of all 18 dispensaries in the county, highlighting both the top and bottom three.

According to the article, Peake ReLeaf “hits on all cylinders, with knowledgeable and efficient staff, diverse products, and “a points system that is off the hook,” according to regular customers. Peake ReLeaf’s user-friendly website, the dispensary’s sleek interior design, and the wide range of smoking accessories on display, help set it apart as Montgomery County’s Top Dispensary for 2025. Although Peake ReLeaf suffers similar parking deficiencies as other dispensaries, it’s for good reason. Their neighbors on Chapman Avenue–Gilly’s Craft Beer and Los Primos restaurant–are among Rockville’s best in their businesses, offering Peake ReLeaf customers a bonus cannabis connoisseur perk.” [Click here to see the full list.]

In December, The Montgonion marked two years of parodying local events with headlines like “MCPS to Hire 2,800 Bathroom Attendants” and viral stunts such as installing a fake mall banner in Glenmont. Frequently poking fun at The MoCo Show and other county happenings, the site has built a dedicated audience while blending humor with elements of reality.
