Great products, great prices, staff depends on the day. First time there was wonderful, second time some sort of ordering mixup (I'll take blame due to chemo brain), third time was awful. Security guard was hostile, guy behind the window was as well. They were both barking questions like it was boot camp! I assured the sneering technician at the window that I would do my best not to bother them again. I repeated that to the woman at the window where I had to go to sign before I could leave. She was pleasant but the other two were awful. She was taken aback when I explained that I have terminal cancer and the stress they imposed on my was unhealthful. By the time I got home there was a message on my phone from Ryan apologizing for my treatment and giving me a $20 credit on my next purchase. Great response. Wish I hadn't left my phone at home so I could have talked with Ryan. However, next time someone comes charging out the door demanding to know why I am there I will just leave -- that is if I decide to gamble on pleasant people being there next time, since there's a closer dispensary selling the exact same product for a few dollars more.

Questions & Answers

Can any body buy there , what's the rules

You need to have your doctor refer you to a clinician that is authorized by NYS to provide you with approval for a med marijuana card. Once you have that you register with the state of NY for a medical marijuana card. If approved you get your card within 14 days. After you receive your card you can make an appt at Columbia Care. You must take your med marijuana card and doctors auth everytime you go. Expect to pay at minimum about $200 for a month supply, can be more depending on what you want. Currently you have options of vape, sublingual liquid or capsules. All comes in different THC to CBD strengths. They will match you up with what best will work for your issue. There are a limited amount of issues that NYS has authorized for medical marijuana use. Consult your doctor for further information on if you may qualify.

Having a real medicine grown from the land and not being able to afford it on a disabled amount that Americans can't live on what justification is the price on one's life.

JoAnna collins | Oct 11, 2019
Andrew M | Oct 10, 2021

This company doesn't care about you at all. They lobby against home grow so they can have what they call a 'captive market'. As soon as you can spend your oney elsewhere. This is a terrible company and should be boycotted.

My dermatologist recommended that I get cbd oil for my eczema. She said I can only get it online. I am having trouble finding the proper site. Can anyone help?

Columbia care is for medical marijuana You don't have to get cbd oil strictly online, there is a new store in Henrietta called cbdepot I think that if you go there and explain symptoms they will give you what you need Lastly, cbd oil with no thc is legal in every state now.

I have fibromyalgia will I be able to get it

Scott Morris-Bouza | Oct 11, 2019

Yes, your condition is a qualifying condition. Remember NONE of the cost for medical marijuana (MM) is covered by insurance, it is 100% out of your pocket. First, you need your primary care physician or pain management doctor to give you a referral to a doctor that is licensed to certify you for MM. The certification doctor will give you the paperwork to get your MM card from NYS. The cost to see that doctor $250 - $300, another $200 annually to recertify. Then you will log onto the state website to apply for MM card, cost $50. When you receive your card you can then make an appointment with Columbia Care (CC). Figure at minimum you will be spending about $200/mo. My first trip was $170 for two weeks of meds. By the time we got it adjusted to a level that helped I was paying over $500/mo. Remember this IS NOT covered by insurance at all. The meds are weak, they don't last long and it takes a lot, at least for me, to eleviate my pain. If your looking for a high, not gonna get much.

No, they don't have pre rolls but their flower is pretty good. And they do sell raw cones so you can pack your own.

Why did your company lobby against recreational cannabis in New York and other states when your company actively profits in other states from it?

No, medical marijuana dispensaries are not allowed to sell dry herb of any kind by law. You can't get that from any dispensary in NY.

Do you guys have dry herb

marcus oliver | Oct 11, 2019
Luna Turtle | Oct 11, 2019

The NYS MMJ program does not allow smoking as a method of consumption, so no they do not sell flower at all. They offer tablets/capsules, suppositories, tincture, topical cream, and vaporization oil.

Bill Dirks | Oct 11, 2019

In order to get certified it cost me about $500 all told. Insurance doesn't cover it and there were multiple visits to the pain specialist to get certified. In addition the actual product is extremely expensive.

I'm looking for doctors licensed to prescribe medical marijuana in Rochester NY. Does anyone know anyone?

Dr Loomis at Highland Family Medicine. The Upstate Pain Clinic is another option as well.

My husband is a veteran with a service connected disability. He suffers from chronic pain. How does one go about getting medical marijuana as a veteran?

Elizabeth Delude | Oct 11, 2019
Scott Morris-Bouza | Oct 11, 2019

Other answer is correct. Will need referral from his doctor to a doctor that is licensed to prescribe medical marijuana. There is one at Highland Family Medicine, Dr Loomis. However must be a current patient at HFM to get appt with her. There is another in Rochester but I forget the name. You can search medical marijuana prescribers. Once you have the certification you apply to the state for a med marijuana card, $50. Takes about two to four weeks to arrive in the mail. Once you have that make appt with CC. Remember, everything you do from the appt to get your certification to purchasing medical marijuana comes 100% out of pocket. No VA or insurance will pay for it. Also, this stuff is EXPENSIVE. I also suffer chronic pain, degenerative disc disease, herniated disc and authritis in my back. I was spending $450/mo just to feel better, not pain free. I the pain reduced by about 40%, for that amount of money it wasn't worth it. Before going that route try CBD.

I was told by a friend who goes to rochester that they had smokeabke street grade and that her insurances covered it which is same as my bf insurance he went and they gave him a pill help we know nothing about this process and person who told us lied

A Google User | Oct 11, 2018
Scott Morris-Bouza | Oct 11, 2018

They flat out lied to you. No insurance company will ever cover medical marijuana, it is still illegal federally. Insurance companies accept federal funding and would lose it if they covered it. The only smokeable form is via vape cartridge, and it doesn't really get you high. It is only meant to help alleviate whatever symptoms you have. Also, you must be referred by your doctor to a state licensed doctor to start the registration process for your medical marijuana card. You must also have a qualifying condition and tried almost every other therapy prior to being referred for medical marijuana. It's not cheap either. I spend about $170 a month for 2 weeks of pills and a months worth of vape. But I only use it when I really need it. If I used it everyday all of that would last me maybe 2 weeks. Also, if you want it to get you high, it doesn't unless you use a ton of it at a time. You may get a mild buzz but that is it.

Looking to get smokeable marijuana where is that available

A Google User | Oct 11, 2018
Scott Morris-Bouza | Oct 11, 2018

Marijuana is illegal in NYS at this time. You can get tincture (sublingual liquid), pills and vape in medical marijuana. However, you must have an eligible condition and apply for a medical marijuana card. You will need a referral from your doctor, if you qualify, and then get registered by another doctor that is licensed by the state. You then apply to the state to get your card, there is a one time $50 registration fee. Also, you must be re-registered annually by the licenses doctor and the state to keep your medical marijuana card. They have different levels of THC to CBD depending on you medical needs. Figure about $150 to $200 per month depending on what type of delivery system you get. I do a combo of pills and vape and it cost me about $170sh a month. $85 for 2 weeks of pills and $85 for a single vape cartridge. You have to buy a battery, $8.50 the first time but can reuse. Some legislation is working it way through the state senate that will legalize recreational marijuana.
