WHAT SETS US APART FROM OTHER COLONIE DISPENSARIES

We started Ripe because we wanted something that we didn’t really see yet. A cannabis shop that felt real. Not clinical, not flashy, not out of touch. Just a place where people could come in, feel welcome, and get honest help finding the right product for their needs. The three of us who opened Ripe grew up right here in the Capital Region. We’ve spent years around cannabis. As enthusiasts, as growers, as part of this community, and when legalization came to New York, we knew we wanted to build something different.

What sets us apart is this: Ripe isn’t about having the biggest menu or pushing the most product. We’re selective about what we carry because we want everything on our shelves to mean something. Whether it’s flower, edibles, tinctures, or vapes, if we don’t believe in it, we don’t stock it. Our team has decades of combined cannabis experience and we use that knowledge to stock only the best. We keep things clear and upfront. All prices include tax, what you see is what you pay. And when we run deals, they’re real ones. We hate gimmicks as much as you do.

We’re proud to be in downtown Schenectady. It’s got character, it’s got history, and it’s got a community that shows up for its local businesses and we’re honored to be one of them. That community is what drives us to continue being our best. We care about how people feel when they walk in the door. We take the time to talk, to listen, and to make sure you leave with something that works for you. No pressure. No awkwardness. Just a team that knows cannabis and is willing to help people find what works.
