What are the benefits of creating a maps listing for a dispensary?

As you can see in the image above, maps listing will always show up above organic results. This is because of mobile first indexing. Google assumes that if you are searching for a “dispensary near me” or a “business in xyz city” that you want to go there to shop or visit the location. Not having a maps listing , or not having an optimized listing can negatively effect how you are found online.

Do reviews effect maps listings for cannabis businesses?

Oh yeah. Reviews can have a huge effect on how your listing shows up in maps searches. Google is always going to try to provide the user with a result that is beneficial to what they are searching for. If your location has no reviews or bad reviews, if will negatively effect how you show up and how many people will interact with your business.
