The High End Dispensary
About The High End Dispensary
On Central Ave in Albany, The High End Dispensary leans into community programming alongside its product mix. Friday night open-mic comedy at 7 PM is a regular fixture, and reviewers note the store actively curates its shelves rather than carrying everything indiscriminately. Budtender Colin gets called out repeatedly for thoughtful recommendations, especially when customers come in chasing a specific brand and need an alternative. Prices land in the value range, and the vibe skews casual rather than clinical. Hours run late: 10 AM to 11 PM most days, with an 11 AM Sunday open. That late close matters in a market where many shops shut by 9 PM. With 406 reviews and a 5-star average, it's one of the higher-volume listings in Albany. The store positions itself as community-focused, and the events programming backs that up. Worth a look if you want a dispensary that feels less transactional and more like a neighborhood spot you can hang at.

Customer Reviews
I came to high end dispensary on a whim. I was on my way home and needed to restock. Colin was extremely helpful with helping me pick the best options. I was looking for a specific brand he provided with comprehensive recommendation for a similar option. I also appreciate that they are particular about the brands they carry to make sure they are providing the best quality for their clients. I would highly recommend stopping in for your relaxation needs
