Always a good time, great staff that help you get the best quality and provide you with any and all information you need about a product. They care about their customers and the quality of the products they sell. 10/10 would recommend. I go weekly.

Loved visiting River Rise during our vacation. We frequented Green Island Herb on previous visits and love the friendly and knowledgeable staff AND of course all the amazing products they have to offer!! Bonus for having the drinks refrigerated (the dispensaries in Illinois rarely do!)
Smoking indoors? The right air purifier eliminates smoke and odor in minutes.
