RISE Dispensaries Erie (Lake)

Fantastic Staff! Extremely helpful and knowledgeable staff. Excellent experience every time.

What a peaceful and happy atmosphere. Everyone has been so friendly and helpful I love my new family!

On most days if you dont have at least $50-60 you can not get anything from here. Not to mention the dry leaf is so dry it all crumbles to dust when you touch it. You call them, have them hold product get there and nothing is held for you. This has happened more than a handful of times and and to multiple people. It's just a shame this is the only dispensary in erie county. They are getting rich selling premature and bone dry bud for extreme top dollar and its flying off the shelves...smh

People that work here are good people knowledgeable friendly.. my gripe is I get text on new shipments I get there and there sold out .almost every time .. I think they should look into purchasing more of what people want so everyone can buy what they want not settling for something else

After a 6 month visit to rise, I give them a thumbs up for the first dispensary in Erie. From Matthew the manager, Jason our pharmacist, security guards, and every professional bud tender that my wife and I have had the pleasure to meet has been great. The atmosphere is awesome, and the whole staff if knowledgeable and willing to help with all your questions. As for the product and prices, they are very competitive. The range of price and quality for the dry leaf is as expected. The extracts may be high price to some, but the quality of the extracts are superior to any street products. You get what you pay for. It appears to me that rise is trying its best to serve this community with the best product, professional service, and fair prices that fit the patients needs. Keep up the good work Rise and welcome to our community.

I love this dispensary very nice people. But these prices between Prime wellness, and Ilerra are outrageous. If you are trying to compete you arent doing a great job. I would never pay $65 for a 1/8 ounce of dry leaf. $50 would be the highest i go. The only company giving $40-$50 for 1/8 is Terrapin station. They are great. They could get all my business. Its just a shame that there is so much taxing going on. Especially when places like Cleveland are selling stuff for $35-$40 for 1/8. PA has been waiting years for medicinal marijuana. And it's just a shame to see its being used just like any other medicine. To make money, instead of helping someone. If prices went down it be way better. But I know how it is.

The staff is friendly the environment is nice but they price gouged many of us this morning because there has been a shortage of "flower" in the state and not patients looking to purchase so they went up on the price of 2 strains while I was stting in the waiting room and changed the menu in front of me. Not cool at all!

Staff is great. Very comfortable and secure atmosphere. As for the flower, it was premature, not cured very well. That being said, I do understand that it was a bit of a rush to get product out to dispensaries, and I expected lesser quality flower for an inflated price 2x what street prices are(and thats for quality bud). Will I still buy bud at Rise? Yes. As long as they can offer a few products at $10-12/gr. Now, as for extracts(what I really need, medically) the prices are absolutly insane. On the street, quality wax is $30/gr. Rise charges $60+ for just a 1/2gr for extracts. I love the place...but the patients need better prices.

While I do wish Rise sold from every approved grower, I can say quality + selection is based on those companies. I’ve ‘grown’ to love the staff, their knowledge & willingness to help & learn right along with me. My only negative comment is, in retrospect, my ‘pharmacist appt’ left a LOT of info out that could’ve saved me a lot of time, money, & grief. Simply explaining at length the differences between all the products & offering cost/benefit info. I just starting using concentrates 6 months later, because I initially had no idea of the overall value. As a patient, ask tons of questions. Otherwise, every experience has been as it should & feels above n beyond at times.

Rise Erie & the people are first rate, can not say enough good about them, however I can say nothing good about Terrapin flower products. I have tried their product 4 times & it is the worst. So dry you can not even handle it, it just crumbles. Also it is not very well trimmed. Waste of time & money. The other suppliers that I have tried are fabulous. The only other gripe I have is I wish they would get more flower with higher THC levels like they have a couple of times. I missed the flower they had twice that was in the 30’s for THC, I did not know they would hold it until u got there.

I'm new to all this MMJ stuff and the Rise staff were extremely helpful. They never made me feel stupid for asking stupid questions. I've been there several times now an they have always been personable and professional, not to mention highly knowledgeable.

How do I apply for a position in your business.

The Rise Erie staff was extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. They gave gentle guidance and addressed all of my concerns and questions. They made me feel as if I had freedom to make informed choices for my budget, dosage and consumption methods. All the suggestions that were made were spot on. Great experience.

Very secure location staffed by true professionals

Even though outstanding quality, service, and atmosphere exists there is the issue of cost. As for someone who suffers chronic pain issues, my use is a lot to stay ahead of the pain. With that being said i have mentioned this to the very informative staff and the answer seems to be the same. "Contact your state representative" or "we have smaller amounts". As to the first response lets be real, we are very fortunate to have this in PA, but there hands are tied to the costs. As to the 2nd answer less cost more when you use as much as i do ??? All in all though i am grateful to be able to get this here with the vast amount of research behind it vs the street where god only knows what your getting. The staff is great !!!

They are great! I've heard them talking to people who know nothing and they take as much time as the patient needs. I'm a longtime patient so they just answered any questions I had and let me go shop. Very helpful and relaxing atmosphere.

Hands down the nicest, most helpful people working here. I've been to a couple other dispensaries in the PA area so I can attest to this. I always leave feeling so good. A particular shout out to Megan! She is the absolute sweetest. Clean, lots of product to choose from and pleasant people to work with. What more can I ask for?

Great location great people great service what more could you ask for first time visit and I couldn’t be more happier definitely going back again

The Rise & staff are great..no complaints..Very low marks for keeping product list updated..keep checking supply list many times a day.. When you live far you can't go everyday to check what came in..and when the better product does come in..some individuals purchase the whole shipment of the better product..

amazing. period.

Really chill and relaxed environment. Pretty decent selection on products when they have it in. Supply goes fast tho. But its my main spot to pick up.

Very friendly, helpful staff. They've shown great patience when answering questions, even when overly burdened by nervous and novice customers. Thankful that they've shown such great care and compassion when helping me to find the strains that best fit my needs; in person or on the phone. When dealing with serious medical issues I'm appreciative to have these types of people and products available to enhance my quality of life! Thanks Rise!

A note for Emily: Hi Emily. I having been a patient since opening day. I muddled through my own research to find what would work for me and i was not doing a good job of it either. For the last 6-7 months i have been confused, and frustrated. Until you helped me. Not one person took as much time with me as you did. You helped me understand when to use what and which strain would help me best. Thank you so much for always being so kind, incredibly helpful and patient!!!

Rise is perfect! Anytime I need something, I got it!! Anytime I have a question, they're there! Rise is also in a very good spot! My first day there was confusing, but after the first day, it was awesome! Everyone's like family there!
