RISE Medical Marijuana Dispensary Erie (Lake)
About RISE Medical Marijuana Dispensary Erie (Lake)
Off West 8th Street near the Bayfront, this RISE location is one of two RISE dispensaries serving Erie and carries a 4.8 average across 1,812 reviews — among the highest review counts in the city. Patients call out budtenders like Susan and Abby by name and note the price points on Goodgreen flower (those $18 slices come up more than once in recent reviews). The location works as a counterweight to the Peach Street retail strip — closer to the Bayfront, downtown, and west-side neighborhoods. Hours start early at 8 AM Monday through Saturday and run to 8 PM, with Sunday 9 AM to 6 PM. The early open is genuinely useful for patients heading to work or commuting south. Selection covers RISE's GTI-grown brands (Rythm, Dogwalkers, incredibles) alongside other PA-licensed producers. RISE rewards points work across all their PA stores. Bring your medical card and ID; online ordering through riseDispensaries.com cuts wait time.

Customer Reviews
Picked up meds today, Susan was very thorough. Cash me out, quick and put me deep with the $18 slices from Goodgreen! I will definitely be in to get me 1 or 2 flavors tomorrow! The guy with the dreads is very friendly also. See yall tomorrow!
This place is dope! Sorry I had to say it. Anyway its a great place to go thats not on Peach St. With that being said somedays you got happy people working and other days notta. I'm glad they are there regardless and love the location.
Very satisfied with my service at Rise today. Abby did my check-out. She was personable, professional and expedient! Thank you for an excellent experience, Abby! Bonnie
Darrell is a 5 star employee!! He always greets me with a smile, and is very personable and knowledgeable. Always very fast, efficient, and polite. See you again soon bro! 😎 UPDATED 12/20/25. Was in today and saw Katie and Sofia and last week spoke to Dave; they were all so amazing to deal with and very friendly!! Wish I could leave a new review but had to update this one. I will say once in a while you get a slightly different strain than selected(sativa instead of hybrid, indica instead of hybrid) but I bet it is rly confusing with how many products are available nowadays.My main takeaway is the vibe here is awesome and they genuinely care😎💪🏻
I’m not really a big reviewer, but I had such a great experience with an employee that I would never forgive myself if I didn’t at least try to give this woman the credit and blatant adoration she is due. I recently had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with Jessica, and WOW! She was so kind, patient, knowledgeable, and helpful- (she is like Google personified!). There’s no need to go anywhere else or talk to anyone else, Jessica is truly the best! Thanks, Jessica! You made a seemingly mundane task the very highlight of my day!
