Wax pen
Giselle L.

You'll find multiple brands to try, staff is super friendly and helps you the most you need. There's an ATM inside because they don't accept Cards so get ready with cash. We DON'T recommend Joos pen cause the wax gets stuck and it's impossible to get some product out, but that concern is regarding the brand, not the store, besides that my husband and I had a cool shopping experience.

Not even seven am on New Year's Day and already sold out of flower.  Looks like I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing glue

Raise your hand if you had the pot shop as the first place to temperature check you whilst out and about during the Corona days. Yeah, wouldn't have expected that either. THC serves both recreational and medical marijuana patients. I waited for two hours in a huge queue on New Years Day to get hooked up with my recreation. I've long since wised up and gotten my medical card. In addition to saving a lot of money on taxes, the card makes a lot of sense. Illinois state law mandates a certain amount of medicine remain available for medical patients. That means cardholders can get their medicine, even when recreational users cannot. You also go to the head of the line, making it a quicker trip at a busy store. THC has a good online portal where you can browse and learn about products. Medical patients can also preorder for pickup. The store itself is bright, clean and modern with touchscreens that you can use to browse offerings. Budtenders have been knowledgeable and helpful with purchases. Like many places they have levels of security, so be patient and cool Honey Bunny. Now, to the goods. Weed has come a huge way from the schwag of my youth. Gone is the brown frown baggie of barely recognizable buds mixed amongst seeds and stems. These days flowers are High Times quality-fragrant, tacky and potent buds. While I've pretty much always smoked buds, I've gotta say I'm really liking the vapes. Supereasy with the 5/10 thread. Once you have your USB chargeable pen all you'll need are replacement cartridges. Side note-TSA didn't even mess with it when it was in my bag. Put the pen in your carryon and cartridge in your toiletries. I'm a fan of the Sativa hybrid strains, which are the best of both worlds-heady buzz without the flooring effects of straight Indica. I'm seeing more consistent strains from store to store and it's helped to find what I like-G6, Blue Dream, Jack Herer, Bruce Banner and East Coast Diesel. As for Indica, I'm liking Northern Lights for evening medicine. The Mindys gummies are also really tasty, though more of a mild buzz. Things are expensive and sized small Cash Only On site parking Good website-check to see if Rec sales are available Go see Dr Feelgood and get a Medical card to help with your Corona anxiety

receipt showing I paid for a full gram

wack dispo with a terrible customer support team and policy. I bought a full gram concentrate from this dispo, it was Revolution so already more expensive than your other brands. When I opened the product I realized it was a half gram and I actually just got finessed by a dispensary. These dispensaries might seem professional but they're not and they all have their own rules and policies that they mold around state laws. Either way the product replacement policy is 14 days something I was never made aware of the first time I made my purchase. Very disappointing because I did not have the time to drive out to Pilsen dispo and even ask them this question. Seems like I just won't be shopping at this dispo for my medical needs. ‍

Hell no they are false advertising up here and I'm pissed. They show me a screen and the screen says thc 30% and on the container when I get home it says thc 1% and thca 29.9%. I'm mad as f.....k. I know one thing tomorrow someone better be giving me a refund. THATS COMPLETELY FALSE ADVERTISEMENT. EVEN WHEN YOU CLICK IT ON ITS A BIG SMILEY FACE SAYING THC AND THEN REVIEWS. and to turn around and sell a product that says 1% yeahhh the customers need to know about this.

By far one of the safest places I've been to during the COVID-19 pandemic. Let's start by mentioning that this place, like all other dispensaries around the city, is *CASH ONLY*. If you do not have any cash, there is an ATM that you can access right inside the store. It wasn't until the pandemic started that I've made my first visit to THC. They are very strict about their safety measures, so for now, you need to schedule an appointment for recreational and even medical. The appointments are 15 minutes apart, and make sure you get there on time since there is only a 5 min grace period before they cancel your appointment. In order to speed up the process and not go over your allocated time, I suggest visiting their website and looking at their menu. The menu will also indicate if the items are available or not. I scheduled an appointment for a Tuesday at 7:30PM. Even though it was the last appointment of the day, and the store was basically empty when I arrived, they still checked my temperature and asked me to wear a mask. This is to protect yourself and others who my be vulnerable, specially medical patients who shop at THC. After my screening and ID check, I was given access to the actual shop. To be honest, it is one of the best decorated and organized dispensaries I've seen all around the city. The employees are trained well, respectful and extremely friendly. I am new to the whole "recreational" scene and since my apartment is smoke-free, I usually buy vape oils or edibles. I made a mistake and did not check the menu before my first visit, however, the employee behind the register was able to help me out efficiently, while keeping track of my scheduled time. I ended up getting the Strawberry Cough and East Coast Sour Diesel vapes and the Strawberry Crunch edibles. I am by no means a marijuana expert, but boy did these vapes do the trick. The prices are extremely high than, let's say a local dealer, but that is because of the high tax that the city and state have set in place. Both vapes and edibles cost a little over 200$ with tax (yes crazy, but I'm an engineer, I get to splurge). The vapes DO NOT last for a really long time. I've found that they empty out in a week or so, so it does get expensive in the long run. Either way, I highly recommend this dispensary. I've visited several around the city since recreational has been legalized and this is by far the best experience I've had. Chapeau bas to the excellent service!

Very nice and large corner they have here in Riverside. Cool sleek simple designed outside and…read moreinside. Very clean and well maintained. For medicinal reasons I use smoke and gummy products. DO NOT Use your phone inside or out take pics at ALL . None. Not allowed. I've been here a few times and always find them to have all around good customer service. Good knowledge of their products. However; recently I purchased "DogWalkers" pre rolls. They were completely stale. Oh no. This only happened once. When I returned and mentioned it to the cashier it was a "oh well" response. Mmm . Maybe if she looked me up in the system and saw I've been a customer- there should have been a different and better outcome with that. I can suggest to offer the customer something - "oh well" won't cut it for Long Term Stability in the market. But clean place and a large selection for an Illinois based dispensary . This is located on the West side of street on Harlem, South of 26th Street. In a very busy area. Riverside is a historical city with a wonderful and charming downtown areas. Lots to see around here. Beautiful parks and Cook County Preserved Forests . Nice gas station and drinks up the block here. Great restaurants all around . Busy shopping area the North Riverside Mall.
