Our high praise
Hear what mile-high seekers have to say about Elevated Exotics Republic and Escanaba.
Shelley was AHAMAZING getting us together fast!!! Cannot wait to come back. Great prices, great serviceaaa
Friendly staff. Good prices and special deals.... That was for a free item when they were new. Update: still 5 starts. Good friendly service and more knowledgeable than other shops in town
Megan was an awesome budtender, she was able to help me with everything .
Love this company! And now the Menominee location is open 9am-9pm everyday!!!
Great company. Great products. Great staff and Great owner...Worth a peek. Don't miss out
This is one of my favorite places to shop in the upper peninsula of Michigan. The products are definitely of the Exotic variety. They have great customer service as well. Very fast and efficient, most of the time. Online order picking and processing could use a little improvement. I'll definitely be back to shop soon!
Like just a swipe of id 👍e.e.,like there plastic bags,reuse it when i go back,no need for waste,asked if they could get zilla dog treats,we have lil guy who snubs most everday treats,so when i got zillas just thought he'd walk away oh no he💜s shake the bottle hes showing up. Thank you e.e. i just found out you have in stock so want all dog 💜s to know all 3 of our dogs give "zillas" 5🦴🦴🦴🦴🦴s & HAPPY TAILS.
Everything I come here, I drop $200. Very knowledgeable budtenders. Always enjoy the deals I find when I go, and the "bang for buck" factor.
I placed my order online. I ended up ordering the last of one product. Well it was shown to me was not put in my bag after i paid. I will never go to the Escanaba store again. As obviously the bartenders cannot be trusted.
I wish I could give negative stars. Gave this place 3 chances and they let me down all 3 times. After the 3rd event getting our money thrown in our truck and dude walked away because I asked him to prove that I couldn't use my medical card because I looked online and I saw no reason that I couldn't and even tried to show him but the man was cruel, rude and mean, I'm disabled and wasnt able to go inside and lets just say I had to go to Nirvana and THEY WERE AND ALWAYS ARE AMAZING! I will NEVER visit this awful business again! I tried patronizing this business as it's woman owned, I'm just ashamed!
THIS IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST PLACE YOU CAN GO 10 TIMES WORTH THE EXTRA DRIVE!!!
The staff is amazing an knowledgeable. An so kind. Definitely repeat customer . Definitely will be recommending to friends
Good customer service very helpful never disappointed will tell ppl about elevated
I've been going to lume for awhile and I just moved back to escanaba and the locals told me to give them a shot. I've been going there lately and the staff is knowledgeable and won't be going to lume again elevated is my place to go to for my cannabis needs!
Love love this place!!! They are so friendly and knowledgeable!! I love how I can walk in and they already know what I like and don’t like!!!
Was great finally got to try the fresh coast live resin new in stock!!
First person to buy a fresh coast live resin cart i have been waiting for them to be available I'm the area if you a fresh coast fan or like affordable live resin these are awesome solid taste no dirty disty feel to it smooth nice hits and tastes like the strain the budtender was awesome he always is very knowledgeable and happy to help it a positive experience everytime very happy to see these in stores so we not stuck with the low grade mixed stuff I'm usually a pro grow guy for straight l.r. but I'll be returning for more! Grand daddy purp hits right very smooth and tasty shout out to elevated for their awesome selection and staff and can't beat their deal I only wish they would stock bulk butter brand flower again I recommend to anyone in question of a dispo and the only one in my area I know of with the fresh coast live resin they just got in today go check them out !!
Best place in the UP for sure. The Escanaba location always has some gas!
Love going in ! always greeted with a big smile and positive energy and I think the best prices in town. The whole crew is awesome I only know Tyler by name and he’s always on top of everything and super fast all around great service from him and everyone that works there honestly ! I’d give em more stars if it was possible , keep killin it guys !!!
Love Elevated always good smoke awesome bud tenders and unbeatable prices...
Those guys rock very knowledgeable in the products they sell also professional. Anything that I need for my wife or I have a question they recommend certain products.
I always go there and am treated great, like coming into to friends. They are so helpful with me, I can never make up my mind and they give honest reviews and help so much, highly recommend 😊
The price was too cheap, the quality was too good, the employees too nice, I didn't get the joy of having to spend an hour in line smh, and the store was clean and wasn't in a dark seedy alleyway smh. If you a fan of those i guess id recommend it. Wait then that means whoever is reading this might go there, dont go there. Your eyes will end up red and your snacks will end up missing.
Appears to be less inviting but had the best prices I had found. Definitely would go again.
Great Vibe and great service.,.plenty of choices await you here. I like the fact that it is a hands on environment and you are allowed to see the flowers before you buy them.Lots of strains here,.. I got why I asked for,. I should have trusted my nose. Renee was on the menu here and I would highly recommend grabbing it if available. My Donkey Budder should have tasted better 😢I highly recommend this location sitting charmingly on the corner of the historic streets of Escanaba in the moonlight 🌙Vets discount is subjective
Excellent service and selection. Even though there is other places I love that elevated has different selections and brands! Will be back!
I absolutely love this dispensary! It's staff are amazing and products are unrivaled! Was there on 4/20 has an absolute blast
Great prices, Great people, large selection of flower to drinks and everything in-between.Knowledgeable staff. My opinion it's the best place in the area.Better selection of products and the price are great for anyone, and they have great specials!If you haven't been there, I'd HIGHLY recommend this place!
Listen …. awesome prices , Hella cool staff … great product!!! They carry the best dab in the Upper Peninsula… my Friday spot always ..
Always a pleasure to walk here. I live a mile away and my car broke down a couple of years ago but it's worth the exercise because you guys have the best bud tenders in Delta county. Happy LATE 4:/20

As a frequent customer i tried the mix it yourself tea was surprised that it was good could feel it working in about 20 minutes i will definitely be buying more
Elevated exotics whether it's Republic or in Escanaba are by far the best dispensaries in the U.P. Or damn near anywhere else that I have lived which is a lot of places. The flower selection,the daily and weekly specials, their wax and cartridges everything with Elevated is on point. Let me not forget about the friendly and very knowledgeable budtenders and other staff members. They do an amazing job and are on point with anything and everything you need. Why go to the rest when you can shop with the best? Elevated number one ✌🏻
Love this joint..Them lil popcorn nuggets, boi....And the associates are great, I love their attitudes.
Love goin here stop by every time I get off work.! Best quality every awesome staff.!
Elevated has the best staff! They are always so friendly and helpful with great recommendations!
They have the best selection of products for the best prices became a loyal customer and haven't left since
Good service, budtenders are very informative and helpful. Also always good product!
Best dispensary in the area possible the whole U.P. awesome budtenders and educated indulges...
I was at nirvana today and mara was my bud tender i got two 8ths and some gummies. Shes super friendly. I appreciate you guys!
Ethan was awesome and helped us out. Great customer service. Good deals!
Best dispo in the UP. Amazing selection. Budtenders are super nice and know they're stuff.
Great selection and competitive price ranges! Knowledgeable budtenders!
Best prices in town! Knowledgeable friendly staff! My fav is the laughing gas 1g prerolls from bubble hash co!!
This is my favorite dispensary. Their prices are the best and their budtenders are really great to talk to. I love their Goldkine prerolls and the the blackberry Kiva bar.
Great experience! Excellent customer service and knowledgable bud tenders! I will definately be back!
I come here everyday I live in Gladstone and drive all the way here because it’s the best
This was my second trip to the Escanaba location and had Hunter as my budtender. I was very pleased with my experience as Hunter was very good at making recommendations for my arthritis and insomnia. I appreciated his empathy and knowledge and will definitely be returning as this is my new favorite dispensary! I highly recommend them!!
Went in there the other night after I got off work, and they were slammed, the guy that helped me at the register was so friendly and they all had great attitudes. Definitely a great experience on my end!
Justin was a baller. Very helpful, gave quality recommendations and was patient while I was shopping despite it being very busy
I love the prices and the staff is so friendly and very helpful! Every time I come they have something different which I love!
Every time we go to this dispo we get better quality and help then any of the surrounding within area.
Elevated has a great friendly knowledgable staff!!!they carry high qaulity products and it's always fast service and that u just can't beat!!!!!
The Budtenders are just a hoot to be around!! I laughed the whole time I was there buying product. Deffently one of the best shops I have been to in the area!!
Best spot in the nation! I have worked in the industry for 15 years as a tender, cultivator, consumer and writer. By far ny favorite spot to hit up
They are so incredibly friendly here and very attentive to the customers needs.. my all time favorite dispensary
One of my favorite dispensaries! Great prices, selection, and budtenders!
Best dispensary In town best deals too just don’t buy the 2 gram disposables mine broke twice
10/10 would recommend this place they always havethe best deals in town and all the staff there are super friendly and help the customers to make sure there satisfied.!!!!
This experience was amazing for our first time!! James and Sam went above and beyond! Highly recommended!!
I really like this place . The service is always courteous . I've known Sam for a while and he usually waits on me . He's very professional and spot on
I had fun here, they make you feel so welcome there and it was actually fun to go there, I didn't feel overwhelmed by what to buy and they didn't make you buy stuff that wasn't going to work with you, the people are great and I liked them all, very cool place.
Of all the dispensaries I have been to in 6 different states this is my top choice! I was roped in to the first location by a blow up flailing guy and a beautiful Blonde dancing on the side of the road. We quickly turned around to check it out and fell in love! The staff are very informative. I have never had a disappointment with Elevated Exotics 🥰
I love the local feel! From entry where Stephanie ( who deserves a elvated sweatshirt for hanging in front) and she is the very best! To the tender you're at home here
Best staff! Best selections and prices! Stephanie up front checking people in is the best!
Went yesterday wasn't sold what I asked for called them and I was told to come back.....So today I go back to get what I asked for to be greeted horribly by the bud tender!!!! Definitely taking my business else where........THE PRODUCT I GOT YESTERDAY IS THE SAME PRODUCT THEY GAVE ME TODAY...... HORRIBLE.....
great weed and great service. Highly recommend this place if you smoke
Awesome staff, great products and prices. Only place I found the tinctures I needed to help me sleep, the dog calming one and the migraine stick. The tincture helps me sleep, gummies don't work, so thank God for the Rise PM. The Zillas calming tincture for dogs is AMAZING. I have a hyper set of twin pups it works wonders on. I bought the migraine stick for my adult daughter and she said it seems to work pretty good she said. I absolutely love the Magic carts. My favorite is Magic Runtz. The fire cheeseballs are amazing as well. Keep up the good work. 😀
The overall experience, encompassing service, quality, and pricing, exceeded expectations in every aspect. Also a special acknowledgment goes to Ethan, whose assistance streamlined the selection process, making it exceptionally easy and straightforward.
Great environment and top tier customer service. Budtender Ethan made sure I was comfortable and sorted out properly. 10/10 would come back!
Amazing products and awesome bud tenders. Emmett Jeremy Justin Mike James Ethan and Stephanie r all amazing. Cheap prices awesome quality products
The best in town and I want to give a very special thanks to James and Ethan (bud tenders at elevated) goin out of ur ways for all ur guys help for helping me n my family out when we had no electricity at our house. All the bud tenders at elevated are very nice n very friendly.
Highly recommend! Quality products and awesome prices! James,and Ethan both bud tenders at elevated exotics and owners of The Delft went above and beyond to help my family in a time of need. They opened their door to us when we were without electricity in our home and helped us towards the costs of getting our electric in our name. We are forever grateful
Love this place best place in town people are awesome and theyre closest to where i live
I Richard k, love this place. They have a great selection, and awesome staff!
I'd def recommend staff are all cool, The person who helped me out was very knowledgeable.
Tbh this super cool guy named Ethan helped me find the strain just for me and his streams are also fire but fr give this mf a raise he deserves it
This is an amazing place well trained staff, they know how to treat a customer I come here everyday and the employees make my day
Love this place there kind and very helpful and I would definitely recommend visiting elevated in Escanaba it’s the best place I can go
Helpful staff. Fun environment. I recommend looking online first since not everything is on display
Went in yesterday and was told I was on their "watch" list. I exchanged points for items and since there was no cash exchanged, "Brooklyn"assumed I was given items free. I've spent thousands, literally 1000s in this shop. $1,500 in the last 2.5 weeks and I feel really disrespected that I'm being involved in whatever the real issue is between the girls. Might need to consider taking my business elsewhere.
I agree with other reviews, sketchy at best! Never got a good answer as to what would work best for back pain. Was sold Zilla reefer island topical. Absolutely no effect! Advil works better than this stuff!
I love the people and everything there it was amazing help from start to finish
Went today for the first time. The budtenders were very helpful. It was quick and easy. Will definitely be back again.
I've been here a couple times just as a tag along with my bf but my bf and I really enjoy Kevin. He is extremely knowledgeable and always gives my bf great suggestions. Very fast service.
The people are super fun. The building is really nice and more room to walk around
Very nice people and very good service. Recommend this place to anyone who smokes or vapes.
Sometimes you get someone who knows what they are doing, sometimes you someone who is untrained. They don't know much about the weed they sell they mix up stuff quite alot. They do have the best prices for most of the items they got.
I don’t know what I was expecting. Drove an hour just to check it out. Sometimes one dispo will have flower that others don’t.The front door should have been my first 🚩There was barely an indication there even was a front door.Waking in, I felt like I was being ushered into some place I shouldn’t have been, like a back room. Not well put together.And expensive!There quite a few dispos around, so I was shocked they weren’t in a more competitive position.If you drive an hr north, there are so many dispos, they are basically throwing flower at you, just to come in the door……that you can clearly see
My extended family!! Jk But sometimes feels like that! It's nice going in and everyone knows everyone's name. The budtenders are very knowledgeable and professional.
Very pleasant experience. Much better than my experience at one of their competitors last month. Restored my faith in the marijuana culture. Props to my budtender from Sheboygan! Thanks for all you help!
Decent dispensary however I've had multiple issues of driving from Wisconsin to find they're closed with little or no warning
The BEST dispensary I've come across in Michigan. Not only do they always have incredible deals, but their customer service is thru the roof. They've always gone above and beyond to make sure the customer is satisfied
This shop highlights everything wrong with legal cannabis. They aren't even trying to be a proper shop. Place is a joke and for tourists who don't know driving past this place nets you better everything.... Honestly looks like someone bought a space and just threw products up on the wall with no care. No real menu or inventory system, prices were all wrong, deals were non existent. Inventory wasn't in at all. This place is exotic trash. Haven't gotten anyone's orders right once.Hot garbage all around. Elevated trash is the nickname for this place. Not one opportunity did they get it right.All I can say is keep driving and support anywhere else.
This place reminds me of the old school dispensaries out in the Bay Area of California. Best prices in town and amazing quality. Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable as well. 10/10 place to get some fine Michigan grown.
I didn't catch the person's name who helped me when I went in, but he was extremely knowledgeable and patient with me. I was obviously out of my element being there (I don't go to dispensaries often, at all.)He helped me pick out some gummies, and the treats for dogs are wonderful (they helped my pup quick, and kept her calm all night!)I can't argue with the prices, either. They seemed fairly reasonable, and there was even a Friday discount event going on; which helped make things even better!Definitely give these folks a look!
