RISE Dispensaries Bethesda (Med)

This used to shop here exclusively as it is close by to my house and Scott and others that work there were very helpful and knowledgeable. After 7/1, their prices went up quite a bit, selection of flower went way down, and with so many new staff members, service isn't quite the same. I now feel like a stranger. This is still necessary medicine for some of us and I can no longer afford my medicine there. Peak Relief and Liberty seem to have MUCH better deals and are now worth the longer drive for me.

Over the years, Rise Bethesda has had some quality control issues which seemed to be improving. It's probably time to shop at another dispensary again, though. The last few purchases of flower have been disappointing at best. The flower has been dry as a bone - literally crumbling just from touch - and based on the expiration dates, the flower was close to - or in excess of - six months old. Sorry, Rise...you're all nice folks, but I'm not going to continue paying for sawdust.

Really great staff that’s helpful and made me feel comfortable in the space.

Love this place always delivering the best!

Every staff member is courteous, friendly, and knowledgeable. Every time I’ve been in their shop has been a great experience.

2 reasons to visit 1. 40% social media discount 2. The GM is a stand up guy! Customer Service Genius!!

Great dispensary

This place has got to the worst dispensary in all of Montgomery County, and one that I would not recommend to anyone, ever. First of all it is very inconveniently located, the dispensary does not have a store-front, you have to drive around to the back of an odd building and somehow find your way up to the 2nd floor where there is a door to RISE with the tiniest sign ever, first time there I got lost. But the real and main reason I would NEVER suggest going to this place is that they short the weight on almost all of their flower (except brands which they receive pre-packaged and not in bulk like Curio and Verano). The first time I got two 8th ofGhost OG and BOTH were short by 0.3g, amounting to a total 0.6g loss, that is WAY TOO MUCH! The second time I came back the next day after filing a complaint and exchanged it for Skywalker OG, I was literally amazed when I came home, measured it, and found out I was SHORTED AGAIN, this time by 0.21 and .12 coming to a 0.33g for the two 8th. This kind of stuff genuinely disheartens me, and has done so at RISE, where still in this day and age, people with real medical needs like myself, especially for the prices we pay, we get ripped off by dispensaries! THIS IS NOT OK! Also it wouldn’t hurt to say that the staff is air-headed and hardly knows anything outside of the words “THC” and “Myrcene”, no knowledge, or real experiance whatsoever. The atmosphere is nothing like that of an actual dispensary, if you did not know what it was honestly you might not be able to tell: the waiting room is alright, but the actual dispensary is TINY, it’s like 100 sq ft at best, crammed as heck. They don’t have ANYTHING on display, so you can’t EVER view flower, you can smell it from a container and kinda get a glimpse a it but that’s it, and nothing else like concentrates and tinctures/rso/edibles are also not on display. The people that work in there are hardly “bud-tenders” but more so salespeople that push things onto you that you don’t need, that’s the worst quality to have for a bud-tender, they don’t know much, but they’ll make sure to try n sell you what they can! Last but not least their prices are THE HIGHEST I’ve seen, crazy $60 8ths while it’s 50-45 everywhere else for the same thing, $18 preroll is only $12 at the next place, NO PRICE BREAKS ON FLOWER (which is crazy and means that an ounce of $60 8th is $480), and just overall terrible prices for mediocre stuff you can find for cheaper at every place nearby.

It’s a good dispensary are used to go there in the beginning often however I’ve only been back once in the past two years maybe I would come here more often but unfortunately with the veterans discount being only 10% I’m going to opt to go to the majority of other dispensaries who are all at 22% .

Great with point System but if you want Tampered and contaminated products that been open and used carts as a example I've had Multiple Occasions Where is my cartridge has been used and opened and very Obvious also I've had to who's been too lazy to put the cap rubber cap back on I hope they take Their jobs more as a medical profession this is our medicine also very Expensive medicine plus covid 19 is currently happening !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty Crucial

Nothing

The staff are kind and knowledgable. It's a well run store with good product

First time there and had a great experience. Very friendly bud tenders and just a great experience.

The staff are friendly

Don’t know what to think, they don’t have any information about they’re products.

Staff so nice, friendly and knowledgable. I "highly" recommend them. They stayed open for me and were very efficient filling my order. Love RISE!!

Overpriced

Excellent

Knowledge staff, welcoming environment

This is a great great location. They always have the stuff I am looking for. The people there are some of the nicest and always go a little bit further to help me with my purchase.

Best Place Ever!! and Best Staff!

Súper amazing with the best staff!

Main dispensary for me. Prefer certain companies products more than other, but they carry a great variety. Run different specials on different products on different days of the week. You can get you favorites cheaper on the that schedule. Clean, welcoming, and well stocked.
