RISE Dispensaries Amherst (Medical)

This is without a doubt my favorite dispensary in the state. They were respectful, courteous, and accommodating. I traveled all the way from Worcester to visit them which is about an hour and thirty minutes away and it was well worth the trip. They carry Rhythm Brand products and they are my favorite in the state. I will be visiting again and this may be my only dispensary from here on out. Thank you very much Rise Amherst team!!!

Until today had very good experiences. But today I bought a gram of Sacari that looked horrible. On checking the label I saw it had been tested in March of last year, so from harvest we're basically talking year-old weed. Completely discolored to brown, smell was totally gone. Not being a snob here, go see for yourself. Again, normally I have good experiences, and most of their flower is solid. But this was clearly unusable, and the manager refused to offer a credit or exchange, instead pointing out it was on sale ($12 a g down from $15)... The budtender looked apologetic, but the manager seemed totally ok with me wasting almost an hour worth of wages and the half hour to buy and try to return it. Full disclosure, I do work at another dispensary in the area. My views are entirely my own and do not represent my employer, but this is just me as a fellow toker warning y'all to check the test and pack dates on flower from here, or just stick to concentrates. You will get no sympathy from the manager if you are suckered into buying horrendously stale nug.

Wow! Such a pleasure to have this dispensary in Amherst MA. The customer service will treat you like a VIP and you won’t be disappointed. I LOVE living in Amherst. Thank you RISE.

First time medical visit, I recieved a 20% discount. The CO2 distillate is Out of this World! It was the Strawberry Cough flavor which was so terpy and clean hitting with that deep dankness. A true strawberry cough hybrid stone that leaves me focused but anxiety free. The Dogwalkers .35 jernts are super dank! Very fresh flower.

Everything about this place is great. Super well-informed staff, friendly and good listeners who work hard to respond to what you need and want. It’s easy to access. And the product is fresh and high quality. Also, just a lovely, sleek interior. Like a spa. Clean, open, sharp. Best dispensary I’ve been to here or in Los Angeles, where I’ve spent a good bit of time.

Nice Friendly People Clean Only Dispensary With Lots Of Vape Choices

Absolutely great place. Today was my first time and it surpassed my expectations. Alex was awesome to talk with and it was a very mellow, laid back feel and I love the fact it's still medical. Absolutely beautiful inside. I will be frequenting.

The building, atmosphere, and staff are great. The limited menu they have now is really good quality, and they said that they would have a lot more soon.

Great reception as soon as you walk in very polite people they made the visit very enjoyable

3rd time here. Excellent kind and informative staff, great selection of products. They also have a decent selection of discounted/lower cost items (like carts) which helps out many folks like myself. Only dispensary (in my area) that has a generous industry discount, i def appreciate that. Theyre only getting better, Im glad i came back.

As a first time patient at Rise, I have to say that I wish I stopped in sooner. Great variety, the laid back "sit down with your budtender" style was much appreciated by this pretty knowledgeable cannabidroid, and I'd bet is even more appreciated by patients who have a lot of questions. The staff were also truly awesome from the moment I walked in. Welcoming, fun to talk with, and super helpful. I forgot to ask anyone's names because I am a silly person, but you were all great. 🤘

Found just what I was looking for at a great price compared to other area dispensaries.

excelente te tratan muy bien y si solo hablas Spanish ahi una persona que se llama Nathaniel que habla español y te explica y ayuda muy bien lo recomiendo

Everyone is so nice and knowledgeable about cannibus. I always feel good vibes from this place.

Would not recommend this dispensary. Raised prices during Covid crisis, changed rewards program twice since opening to make it restrictive to the point of being useless. Better competitive options opening weekly.

I was so fortunate to have this location as my 1st dispensary I visited. The most “community based” and CARING organization I have yet visited after now visiting 70% of the dispensaries in Mass. Rise is still my 1st choice with the best selections, product, pricing w daily specials, and a staff that genuinely cares about their PATIENTS and does not treat them as “CLIENTS.” Love these guys like family!

The killer queen pax pod is absolutely perfect and the affogato chocolate bar is seriously tasty!

The product at RISE is superior to anything else I have found in here in the Valley. I appreciate that they carry 'The Best of Everything' and have chosen the top quality flowers and oils from their vendors. The staff is fantastic:educated,'kind',and informative. If you go, tell then I sent you ;)

Nathaniel went above and beyond professionalism to understand what I needed to relieve my back pain. He was kind and patient and worked with me in Spanish, my native language. It is comforting to know that you have an employee that can communicate with me and take the time to help. and thanks to Mark that helped out a lot! Thanks!excellent place!

I have been medical since it started 4 yrs ago.. At that time only one dispensary was open an there variety.was wonderful the high levels of THC for the more painful med level an low level for beginners.. Now that more have opened the levels are no were near the 29% an 30%.so i drive 45mins to Rise because out of all @ now they have the best variety an so worth the drive😎.all the people are very cool they kno what they are talking about when u ask a question.. If u doubt what i am saying get going to Rise an u will be surprised😳.. Hurry get going they run out quickly😠. GO RISE keep up all your awsome products ty

Medicinal review: First time there today, they were very polite, and easy to talk to about my needs. I'd recommend Rise to Anyone plus the selection is great. And 1ST timer you get 20% off your order and that was stacked discount with the vape deal 2 for 99 on vape cartridges.

Fantastic staff all around, fantastic atmosphere, medicine is top notch. Rise truely helps patients and am very grateful for them. A huge THANK YOU to DAN over at rise as well. You go above and beyond

There was nothing that I disliked about the rise in Amherst the people the staff were very great and helpful respectful and honest people thank you

I really like shopping at ‘RISE’!! The bud tenders (especially Nate) are knowledgeable and very friendly. I also like the wide selection of products offered. The only thing I miss and go to a different dispensary for are Indica 5mg gummy dose cubes. Maybe a suggestion for the future so I can stick to just one dispensary!! Otherwise totally happy!!
