The Chronic Dispensary
About The Chronic Dispensary
On Central Ave in Albany, The Chronic Dispensary is a newer shop building its presence with a confident startup energy. Reviewers describe a young, well-trained team that knows the product range and can guide first-time and experienced customers alike. The space includes a gorgeous glass display and a cozy lounge area — design choices that set a different tone from the more clinical dispensary template. Budtender Jalen gets named specifically for product expertise. The shop runs simple consistent hours: 10 AM to 9 PM every day of the week, which makes planning easier than at shops with shifting Sunday schedules. With 28 reviews and a 4.7 rating, it's early in its review-volume curve, but the early signals point to a shop ready to compete in a crowded Albany market. The aesthetic plus the staff knowledge gives it a real differentiator in a corridor that already has plenty of cannabis retail options.

Customer Reviews
Chronic is going to be a problem for competing dispensaries in the capital region. With beyond kind staff and an impressive startup selection to choose from. Chronic has a young talented team with more than just potential. They have the knowledge to recommend you the perfect product. Additionally, they have a gorgeous glass display and a cozy lounge that really brings the vibe together. I’m very excited to see their inventory grow and the heights that this talented team will take them.
