Verilife - Albany (Medical)

Let's start by being crystal clear: Verilife employees are always great and the low quality score is not a reflection on them, hence the 5 stars for service. Quality only got an extra star because I'm sure the carts are the strength they say, unlike the flower. The carts are strong, yes, but the terpene profiles are severally lacking, making the little things basically panic inducers if you're not super careful. By the time you start to feel any pain relief, it's often too late and the THC has begun messing with your head. (Indica carts) The Curaleaf Indica ground flower is, frankly, a joke. They say it's 26.57% on the latest jar, but based on my 25+ years of extensive marijuana knowledge, I can assure you it's more like 15%. On top of that, this "Indica" flower is completely heady, no body at all. I have a prescription for pain, but the only flower for pain is clearly not what they say it is. It actually reminds of a lot of MAC 1 I've had from CA, which is a hybrid/Sativa leaning and has very little to no pain reliving properties. Then there's the fact that I took, out of my crazy expensive 7 grams, 0.9 grams of ground pieces of stem out. No wonder they include a print out that warns of possible side effect: headache. You've got people smoking stem. How much of the other 6.1 grams is stem that's ground too finely for me to pick it out? Frankly, disgusting. Atmosphere lost one star, again this is not because of the employees, but rather because of this terrible state: NY. No matter how nice and welcoming the employees are, it always feels like I'm entering some highly classified space where I'm not welcome. This is because of the way NY treats its patients, because we're basically just criminals in their minds still.

love the staff and atmosphere. I'm really writing to ask the folks at Matter what's going on with the capsules and highest thc concentration tincture (blue). Many customers rely on these for pain management. The capsules are particularly potent and perfect for many to get through a whole day. The problem is they don’t communicate with the staff at Verilife so they're not sure what's going on. we heard the machine broke and they're waiting on a part. That said, being medical, why are we not treated like this is important medicine? If there was a shortage of insulin we'd hear about it. And, the staff said they can't contact the folks at Matter.

Joshua is very friendly and has great energy!

Eric and the rest of the staff are great! I’ve been going here for about 3 years now and definitely the best in town. The rewards program and deals are fantastic, prices are very competitive and the product line just keeps growing! Only giving more reasons to love this place! Please open more locations!!
