Janelle B. was very patient and professional. I messed up my call in order and she helped to straighten it out and got me the proper meds. I have never had any problem purchasing items at Verilife-Amherst. The people treat you with respect and are so helpful when you need help. Again Janelle thank you so much for your help....norb
Please don't eliminate 1-1 extra strength capsules. This is TRULY a MEDICINAL product. I understand marketing and what the company is doing, but PLEASE DONT STOP SERVING ACTUAL PAITENTS!!! Some people CANT smoke and DONT WANT TO. That's the only option now....
Please bring them back !!!!!!!
I liked not having to wait forever, and friendliness.

please don't stop carrying the matter blue extra strength capsules.
Francine F. took really good care of me today as always. She went out of her way to explain policies and answer my questions as well as getting the best deal for my family. she has been with verilife awhile and has always been professional, polite and cheery. Anyone who complains that verilife is too expensive, I say I know what i am getting everytime, the stores has many, many regular discounts and it is better than smoking garbage someone smuggles in with no quality control.

Been using Verilife almost exclusively for the most part since I’ve had a Medical Card.
I have always received excellent advice, service and product.
I would highly recommend Verilife.
Med Men is ok but I like Verilife better. The other place is too far away.

All the staff are kind, caring & treat you like a family member that just came to town fo a visit. Plus they are very knowledgeable added to the vast selection of quality medicinal cannabis. I prefer flowers and they always are fresh and tasty. You definitely will get quality at a reasonable price plus great deals and loyalty $$ to use on meds!

Anthony was wonderful! He was able to answer all of my questions and didn't make me feel stupid for asking. He's a great Budtender and very knowledgeable. I will definitely be coming back!
This dispensary is perfect for beginners and medical patients looking for the most reliable buying experience.
For casual to experienced tokers, there are far better products out on the rez. For much cheaper. Do some research.

I am a newly registered NY medical patient with chronic back pain and habitual recreational user. Verilife was my first experience today from overall reviews preferring Them over Medmen and Botanist.
Quality of Products was good I chose just an 1/8 of Vireo’s Remo Chemo because I prefer afghani dominant genetics for pain with narcotic numbing effects and terpenes of rubber, fuel, skunk, pine i do not like sweet European hybrids and it definitely lives up to its name I will likely make this my constant strain.
Overall Service was average for me I am a connoisseur and understand a lot of the science underneath Cannabis and it’s subspecies so I am not surprised when people do not know what I really want to know especially at a medical shop since they probably don’t get to try the products or study up the genetics. Otherwise everyone was friendly and professional if I didn’t know what I was looking for or anything about cannabis I’m sure they would point in the right direction.
Atmosphere is amazing nice open waiting room with pedestals full of related products on display to look at before you get called into the office which is relaxing and they play some good retro songs!
Overall experience was great I would come here again first impressions are everything.
It seems the last 3 times I visited to take advantage of ‘deals’, I left with some sort of popcorn or ‘Smalls’ that I never ordered. Nor were they the ‘deals’ in the website. I would never purposely purchase smalls or popcorn. This was ordering in the store, not Leafly or any pre order.
Verilife one of the most horrific dispensaries that has developed in the last several years. They can never make up their minds as to what promotions they're going to give usually the promotions only are for people who walk in to the building to the dispensary. And those promotions do not apply to those people who cannot leave the home even though that they provide delivery you still cannot get their promos. They also accused me of things that I did not do such as walking into the dispensary and making a scene calling names that the people that is absolutely a lie emphatically a lie. I wouldn't go there I don't believe I don't have proof and this is my what I surmise but these people don't have their s*** together. I bought I don't know how many cartridges are throwaways where they did not work and you can't get your money f****** back. So you're stuck with cartridges and throwaways that you can't f****** use now I'm f****** swearing because they're a bunch of f****** assholes. They didn't like what I had to say after I wrote an email to corporate which is pharmacann pharma can is the umbrella company for verilife. So if you think pharmacan left and their life came in that is what happened but can still owns their life dispensaries. I feel and believe that they are not an honorable company they don't help you I could not contact them at corporate cuz there is absolutely no phone number. They decided that they were no longer going to serve my medical marijuana needs because they didn't like what I had to f****** say. These m************ violated my right to freedom of speech and then they are violating me relating to disabilities for I cannot leave my house alone I no longer have a car I do not drive. I would always have to order my medication a month in advance which is b******* which once my items were in the cart and there was a promotion and I wasn't getting that delivery for a month I was no longer entitled to their promo when I put it in my cart. I call b******* once it's in the cart it should stay at the price at the promo price regardless if I have to wait a month to get my meds. That's another thing what company makes a patient wait a month to get their medication they are doing a piss poor job of helping people with disabilities people in pain people with PTSD major depressive disorder. MS fibromyalgia I can name a whole list of gamuts of things that medical marijuana helps. But these people don't care about that they care about their money that's all they care about they're not in it to help people how do I know because I'm one of those people they blew me off like nobody's business.
Do not go to this dispensary you're wasting your money and your time. Go to the botanist they do delivery now, go to Columbia care which is in Monroe county I'm in Erie I don't have to wait a month for my meds all I got to do is place my order like 2 days 3 days in advance they do delivery all the way out her in Angola New York. You can withdraw money right from you Bank right from your house to pay them. You no longer have to go to a bank to withdraw the money, or use an ATM within verilife and getting a fees for using their ATM in their dispensaries. So to reiterate verilife sucks in all aspects of their business I even feel from my own use of having to use their their med it is subpar that's my opinion it's subpar and then they don't freaking work so don't waste your money. Definitely go to botanist they do not do ATM withdrawals from your house but they do have delivery. Columbia care is the only one that I have found where you can do an ATM withdrawal right from your home without any fees from their bank and yours. They will always honor their promotions no matter what and you'll never have to wait a month a week two weeks. So Columbia cares the way to go. Unless I find out that they're part of pharmakanna then they can kiss my ass I don't want nothing to do with this non-professional lying money grubbing corporation 🖕
Hello I'd like to give a review on the Matter whole flower. In my opinion all of the selections of the matter whole flower are dry, there is no stickiness to any of the bud at all. The THC level in all of the strains of Matter whole flower barely reach 18%. Now with that being said, the Curaleaf ground flower is much stronger and way better than the Matter whole flower, that's just my opinion though. I have had the Curaleaf whole flower from a different local dispensary and it's awesome. I've tried the wappa, sour diesel and dosi-cake and the buds are packed with a humidity packet, something matter doesn't have. I also don't care for Matters packaging either. I would have to say the wappa and sour diesel were my two favorites. The wappa really helped my back pain as well as the sour diesel and they both smelled and tasted amazing!... I have also asked numerous times when Verilife is going to be getting the Curaleaf whole flower and all I'm told is they don't know what they're getting, they just get what they get, but yet the other dispensaries in the area have been carrying the Curaleaf whole flower for quite some time now. Please look into this as it's so much closer for me coming to Verilife. Thank you

What I enjoy aside the hospitality & nice environment is Verilife sells 28gm bags of their best selling cannabis. Matter isn’t my favorite brand but they’re decent for the $149 an ounce pricing.

This is the breakdown: (Try the D8 cartridge--it's a stimulating experience)
They have the best products within a 50 mile Radius
Their prices are pretty standard for the locality. Meaning they are expensive BUT Roughly 50% (YES HALF) of what you're paying is a special NYS tax that applies exclusively to medical cannabis. That isn't their fault. To get $35 for a vape cartridge, they need to charge $70. Their Pharmacannis line is high end and, although it is carried by the majority of the other local dispensaries, THEY PRODUCE IT.... so they are pretty much the sole PRIMARY source for MEDICAL GRADE products in this area. Unlike other boutique shops like MedMen( who sell inferior product lines for cheap [or sometimes still expensive]) , they are more tailored to true medical patients. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, whether you are a beginner or Tommy Chong himself, they are knowledgeable and will answer any product related questions you have with ease.
Verilife and is a former subsidiary of Pharmacannis, the company which manufactures the vast majority of the products they carry. These products are middle of the road for the most part (someone from California or Colorado would not be impressed, but they are of outstanding quality for this locality, and unquestionably the best you will find in WNY.... maybe NYS altogether. Pharmacannis products are carried by most (if not all) of the local competing dispensaries, and are typically their Flagship product line. Last year the companies were allegedly going to merge but the merger ended up falling apart and never came to fruition.
It would be nice if they offered some sort of loyalty program though... perhaps a paid membership unlocking discounts and/or special pricing to non members.
The pricing in NYS is not sustainable without flower if you typically ingest 1G of THC/CBD a day. That's 100 extra strength green tablets at 10mg of CBD/THC each. More than $400 A DAY.... LOL. Most people cannot afford that. Perhaps a sliding scale for income disparity would provide more people access to clean, safe ,medicine. Go after the NYS Legislators to provide the dispensaries an option to wave the 50% tax for those who cannot afford it so they can access clean, affordable medicine without facing a major financial hardship.
Verilife has been okay for me since switching jobs and it’s much closer to me than MedMen now, however I think the biggest problem is that when you place an online order, and it’s ready (maybe even for hours it would be ready) when you go in, they don’t just cash you out. They make you wait just like everyone else who doesn’t have an order ready yet even though your order has BEEN ready. This is super frustrating and to me seems pointless to even do it ahead of time as it doesn’t make your wait time faster. At MedMen they cash you out within a couple min max if you have an online order and received a message that your order is ready for pickup, and they hustle to get you in an out in a professional manner. It’s frustrating to have to wait ESPECIALLY when I see multiple employees (on their phones) standing in the front by the desks not doing anything. They could be cashing out online orders if there isn’t a new patient to be taken care of. When I asked an associate about this before, he said they stopped doing it because people complained? You need to train your customers to do online orders and then people would stop complaining and put in an online order instead of just walking in. This is 100% an inconvenience.
I really think this is something they need to work on. Otherwise I have no issues.

Fran!!! You da bomb.com! Thanks for your help! 🤙🏼
This week has been a rough week as my wallet was taken from my car when broken into. I know, dumb on my part. I had my caregiver go to grab my medicine for me as she’s a caregiver. Not knowing anything about the products, she grabbed the wrong product for me. As I left and notice, I turned around minutes later to grab the right one. They were so helpful and sympathetic, they made it right for me even though they couldn’t return it. This place truly is the best place in WNY. Coming from buffalo when there’s a shop around the corner, it goes to show how much I enjoy coming here. Thanks for everything guys! You rock!
The Verilife Team is always the best. I need a consult every time (my symptoms can fluctuate) and the crew is so patient and friendly. When I recently shopped there, I was checked in by the very nice gentleman who's name I forgot (I think it's Anthony?) and he's always super great and patient. I was also helped by a nice new guy named Jon (or was it Juan?). He was being trained by Nate the Great! (seriously, this guy is the budtender with the vibes you want). I must absolutely give a big thank-you to Janelle my Belle! She also helped educate me on a product and why Verilife stuff will suit my needs best. The weekend crew is the best and the lovely manager (blonde lady) is always friendly to me. You'll have a good experience and the dispensary has a the most sales, locally, so their my #1. See you soon! LOL

I saw an email with a sale last week , and it seems someone has messed up and marked too many items as a sale product, with discounts that were amazing. When I went to cash out the price doubled. I gave a call , spoke to a rep and she said as long as I had screen shots they could honor the prices. I was hesitant, I did have a couple screenshots, and they did honor it !!!
I live over an hour from this dispensary , and was so happy that everyone was so kind , and honored the Goof of whoever was typing the prices in that morning.
Thanks for keeping your word , with the price of everything right now I was happy to be able to afford my medication

These prices are a joke. Go to the rez and put these scammers out of business.
