16 licensed shops open in Philadelphia right now, ranked on a star rating weighted by how many people actually left one. RISE Medical Cannabis Dispensary P leads at 4.9.
A 4.9 from 300 people is a weaker claim than a 4.8 from 7,000, so every rating here is pulled toward the Pennsylvania average in proportion to how few reviews sit behind it. Both figures are printed on each entry.
3903 Aramingo Ave #101
Pricing and selection here beat most of the Philly spots regulars compare it with, and deals and promotions run constantly. Staff get to know their patients and give recommendations that land, which is why people with shopping anxiety say they feel at ease. Kiosk ordering is available, with staff on hand to help.
Open
1300 S Christopher Columbus Blvd Ste 11B
Wide variety and frequent sales are what patients keep writing about, with deals that regulars say few other city dispensaries match. The room is clean, and staff are patient enough to work within a budget or slow down for someone having a rough pain day. Free parking and an on-site ATM make it an easy stop.
Open
6763 Germantown Ave
Friendly, respectful staff and low prices are the 2 things reviewers mention most here. Shoppers also praise the flower quality and a calm, welcoming atmosphere, and staff are quick to help with questions. Several regulars call it their go-to shop in the city.
Open
1221 Chestnut St
Patients say they never feel rushed here, and staff take the time to explain strains and point out the day's best deals. A strong run of Cresco flower is a regular draw for the downtown crowd. Debit cards are accepted, and it is worth confirming current hours before heading over.

Sunnyside Medical Cannabis Dispensary Philadelphia - City Ave
4502 City Ave · 552 reviews · 4.6 stars
A star average hides how many people stood behind it. Every rating is shrunk toward the Pennsylvania mean in proportion to its review count, so a shop needs a high score and real volume to reach the top. The weighted figure sits next to the raw one on every entry.
Every one Google lists as open and licensed under a cannabis category at the time of the last check. Shops that had closed permanently or temporarily are dropped, as is anything that turned up in the search but sits outside Pennsylvania.
Because we have not read one. Plenty of shops sell only through a third-party ordering platform that publishes nothing on their own domain, and a brand list is not worth guessing at.
Quarterly. Ratings move and shops close, and a list nobody re-checks becomes a directory of places that used to be good.
