Great facility! Extremely knowledgeable staff with a good variety of products that are great quality but expensive but that is the same statewide. They do have their own brand that I have only seen here and are a bit cheaper with equal or better quality. I will be a repeat customer.

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!

RISE in Erie has service better than anything I imagined. I'm a newbie in MJ & let's suffice to say I'm over 50 now. I also have acquaintances who've smoked for more years than I've been around.
Those commenting prices at Rise are high vs street, I'd love to know where you buy because w/friends from every walk of life & everyone has said the leaf is slightly more, but not much, & with buying Rise YOU KNOW what you're getting. I'd rather be buying it here than off the streets.
The staff is just amazingly unreal. I can ask anything! I've pretty much had experience at this point with most everyone & I swear I want to take them all home with me!
Everyone there there is VERY WELL professionally trained. They KNOW how to relate to everyone for every reason. Please don't assume because someone is younger than you that they're not able to relate. They are well trained & fully understand the medical field & needs.
Let's not forget Rise is being HIGHLY watched, judged & scrutinized because of the newness in PA. They make me not only feel safe coming & going but they have ALWAYS steered perfectly for what my needs are.
Clean, efficient and extremely excellent customer service.
My only complaint is the building location. I don't want to face a winter waiting outdoors in snow so they can take patients 1 at a time (PA LAW) nor can I even begin to walk from the rear parking so the 3 handicapped spaces are often not enough. A not so ADA friendly front entrance that they are working on getting fixed but those stairs are very difficult & I'm glad they're putting up rails.
All in all, especially working with a state that really is FAR behind the times, RISE & EVERY worker there is top of the line in service, quality & safety. I love this place!
BTW OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK NOW!

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.

Rise is a wonderful dispensary, they've been around for awhile and they always have great deals. I noticed their concentrate selection isn't what it used to be, so I haven't been here in a couple months.
I love the budtenders, including Megan she'd always reserve my orders for me.
I saw on the 2019 list of dispensarys they have a location coming to New Castle I can't wait! Us people in Mercer county have to drive 2 hours round trip to the closest dispensary.
Rise is a great dispensary and I wish it were closer to Sharon, PA!
If you're new here prepare to be treated wonderfully by the best budtenders in Erie!

Good people, real.
Emily is a great budtender.
As time passes will have more product, they were a little short on my visit. You might call ahead to see if a delivery has been made.
I believe they are now closed on Mondays, call.
Prices will get better as things get rolling.

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..

The place is great but why do Pittsburgh dispensaries have a 10% discount for veterans.

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!!!

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 !!!

It's a great experience. Relaxed, yet professional atmosphere. Short waits. Don't need to go anywhere else.

Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly, good variety. Have had problems with cartridges breaking after 1 or 2 uses. My name was taken down twice with my number and nothing was ever done which is very upsetting with the cost of cartridges.

How do I apply for a position in your business.

When they have a selection they are fantastic! Mostly they are out or near out and do not have much of a selection. Come on RISE.......supply the demand please. Actually I was thinking someone needs to open another dispensary so they have competition. May help to lower prices?

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.
