RISE Dispensaries Amherst (Medical)

Medical patient review: First off it's so nice to have you in Amherst! Secondly, I have had a couple mistakes happen by Rise employees but, they alway make it right. Much appreciated! Third... Please add new strains more frequently. Your menu is stale and is disappointing to look at. Also, please add the testing info (THC percentages) to the menu. When I look online, there's a lot of strains without it. I look forward to coming back but will be staying away until new flower is in the menu. Thanks Rise!

I really enjoyed my experience at rise amherst. The staff and facility were amazing. The team really walked me through all the education I needed. I will be returning soon.

Thank you, RISE Amherst, for a great experience, and for educating me about an alternative form of medicine--I'll definitely be back!

I predict good things for Rise in Amherst! The facility is very Zen and comfortable with peaceful looking decor. They even thought of putting an ATM on site which is really helpful. Big parking lot, off the beaten path, it's very easy to navigate to without much traffic.The staff is super-nice and they know a LOT about what they sell so they are better at giving advice. The products I have tried so far are really good- great flower choices. They also have sales which I appreciate. Pipe and bong selection is uber low price relative to competitors and their selection is great! Gorgeous glass pipes- artfully done- will make you proud. They are going to do great!! I am a fan and am referring friends here.

I was so pleasantly surprised by this gem of a dispensary when I first tried it months ago. I've been a consistent customer since and frequently visit. From the weekly deals and offers to the quality/variety of products RISE has it all. The staff is kind and knowledgeable. The loyalty program is amazing. I have yet to have one negative thing to say and I'm a prissy pot head lol! Hope this helps 😃

Nice people, run of the mill set up.The flowers are terrible.Why are dispensaries allowed to open using other dispensaries sub par product? Just getting prepped for retail. Thanks, but no thanks Rise.

Best flower variety and quality in western mass hands down. Love that they are able to wholesale out for the best stuff - insa's concentrates are my favorite so far, but Berkshire roots has some potent, quality products as well (they tend to be a bit more $$ so great for special occasions). Also the most knowledgeable and friendly budtenders around. I always leave smiling.

Best dispensary in MA💯 See for yourself

I really like the staff and their helpfulness. It's always a pleasure to deal with them, they make you feel so welcomed and comfortable.

I’m a regular customer and I’m like there almost every weekend and it’s me favorite place to go. I always feel welcomed and the people there are awesome. I feel guilty when I go to any other dispensary other than Rise.

Easy to find location with a great selection. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Drove much farther than necessary because I love their selection and atmosphere. The people are friendly and knowledgeable. It's worth the drive!

The visit itself was a little awkward - the medical user portion is smaller and no product is available at the counter for viewing. I am used to seeing products to make informed decisions on a potential purchase. Every other dispensary around showcases their product. So why hide products? Also, after discussing writing product reviews, RISE amherst seemingly has no place for product reviews. Thus - Copperhead beverage is a super choice, and is accurately described on the can. The individually wrapped gummies are not accurate, and can be either low-dose or over-dose, so be ready for a surpRISE! The DRENCH mixes are not worth the bother, and are listed as 5mg, but are between 3.7 and 4.2mg, and have very little flavour (Meh! is what I say). Whereas the tin of mints was super accurate and each mint contains precisely 5mg and is worth the purchase. One of my canisters of flower was not labeled at all, which I had not checked before leaving the store, but still - making sure every product is labeled before check-out should be a priority of the bud-tender, and this is not acceptible to me since I rely on accurate labeling. Perhaps this was an off-day for my bud-tender, but then take a break dude - get some fresh air and get back to accurately helping your medical patients. Overall, I give the dispensary 4 stars, as some of these things need work. And could somebody get back to me with a place I can write product reviews?

Fantastic place, friendly staff, excellent product. Will return! Their proximity to UMass is going to make them SO. MUCH. MONEY.

Rise has high quality cannabis. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable. Glad to have them in Amherst.

It's clearly a team effort at Rise, from Alex helpfully assisting access to my first time paperwork and walking me into the dispensary and introduced me to Nathaniel, behind the counter, who knowledgeably answered my questions and helped me make selections for me. I really liked how comfortable I felt at all steps of my first visit! No hard sells, no rushing choices from their many products, and very personal service. Their entire setting is classy and unpretentious and allows for one to take their time getting information, even in their comfortable lounge, with resource books and surrounded by beautiful artistic photographs. Thanks to Jon for providing additional information about my questions, while Nathaniel processed my order. Wonderful how Alex, Nathaniel and Jon worked so well together. It made for a relaxed and very enjoyable visit. I will be back!

great selection. quality products. reasonably priced.

I had to give a Five star rating for a few reasons. RISE in Amherst was the very first dispensary I visited since i received my card. I really didn't know what to expect. I had done a lot of research before picking where to go first, and these guys won by a long shot. It is a long trip for me, but well worth it if I have a decent amount to spend on medication. The building is beautiful and the staff was very happy to help me to the fullest extent to make my first experience awesome. I called three times during the day to ask various questions before I went, and the employee I spoke with (I believe your name is Nathaniel ✌) was very patient and helpful with all of my millions of questions, and that was much appreciated! I don't drive.... so it is hard for me to get to Amherst from Gardner, but whenever I can I will visit this location for my products. Also, the prices on their concentrates are great compared to many of the shops in MA! Thanks for the great experience guys and girls at RISE

Love it there. Rise Rocks

For my first time at this dispensary I was extremely pleased with the friendly service! I look forward to going back again.

The service is exceptional!! I was just wondering if your sale on pax pods will change? I have 2 pax pod batteries right now and that's just fine! So I don't need a deal that includes the battery. Can you ever do something like ....keep the sale you have..but could you may do a sale with 3 pax pods if you don't need the battery? Thanks....I can't think of girls name that helped me...but she maybe had reddish hair?? Super duper knowledgeable! Meredith maybe?? Something like that...sorry..lolol. She made the whole experience at Rise....spectacular...thanks!!!!! :-) Will definitely be back when in Mass!!!!

Very friendly and informative! Great to work with Very helpful

Very special and blessed place full of knowledge able compassionate people keeping us happy and healthy! 🤙🙌🔥🙏

Love, Love the service!! Excellent accomodation! Best location out of all of the available different locations.
