After going to multiple shops in my area, I have found that Stage 1 is the only place that I really like going anymore. The staff is knowledgeable and direct you to just what you're looking for. The staff is excellent. I will note that at one point they did have an employee there that was loud and obnoxious, and even yelled at some of the employees on the floor while I was shopping. She's no longer there which makes my shopping experience there even better. The weed selection is really good. They have a really nice glass selection. The staff can direct you to exactly what you're looking for, and unlike other shops,if they don't know, they will find someone who does. Good customer service goes a long way. My last budtender was Swarley???? She helped figure out exactly what I was looking for and….. Remembered me by name. I was pleasantly surprised. I suggest this dispensary to anyone looking for a good place to buy weed or weed products. – Lisa Joslin
I have ordered from many dispensaries and I do have to say stage one is so personable, they are so easy to order from the site is easily navigated and organized. I also would like to add that the products are decently priced they run a lot of promotions and deals which you don’t see very often either. Now my five star is going to go more towards the delivery, stage one makes delivery so easy. The drivers always check in, I have had Chantel A few times and she always greets with a smile she has a great attitude and She is so efficient with her deliveries. 10/10 🤘🏻 – Heather Bendick
This place has the best prices around! I've been to other dispensaries in the Capital District and Stage One is most definitely the best as far as variety, value for your money, and excellent customer service. Pam L. and the staff are all very helpful and knowledgeable about their wide variety of products and they also run a lot of great promotions and reward points. It is definitely my first choice. – Drea Robetoy
Great customer service! Chantel and others are always punctual and communicate arrival when getting a delivery and they are prompt to notify if a product is out and work with you to complete your order. Overall a 5/5 experience for me! – Michael Spong
Small and cosy dispensary at a convenient location in Rensselaer. Staff is always professional and more than willing to help with any questions. Every time I visit the staff is eager to help & holds nice conversation (shoutout to Jill the bubbliest worker ever) :) Would give 5/5 stars if the selection was bigger, but because of the smaller size of the dispensary it’s understandable. Would highly recommend! – Justice for Party Party
