Best weed dispensaries in Illinois with authentic reviews

Uriel was my bud tender and he was absolutely awesome! I had to leave the line twice to transfer money and was scared I was being an annoying customer. Uriel was so understanding and kind! I will definitely be back time and time again because of people like him. The entire staff at Ascend River North is top notch. I highly recommend this shop!!

The overall service was exemplary as it pertained to conveyance of knowledge of the strains and practices their benefits. I was impressed with her willingness to timely transitions per my requests for additional information. Well done Sunnyside, KIM K is definitely on the Sunnyside of the Street

Love this place! So quick in an out to get orders!

Great place to stop! Conveniently on Lake Cook Road for quick entry/exit. The staff are all super friendly and the deals always blow my mind!

Love the atmosphere of this store - variety of product, merch and accessories. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, close to the city center - I'll be back!

Great place. They always have a killer deal in every category. The service is fantastic. Everyone there is happy to help and really make me want to keep coming back. Worth the drive and next to Costco.

Front staff very helpful. They will take time to explain what you are asking for . Great choice of medications .

Dispensary was very clean. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

The deals here are amazing! Love this place, always friendly faces and so helpful! Shot out to Manny!!! ALL his recommendations have been amazing! Like seriously amazing!!! To the point that I just go in and tell him what I want and let him choose, he is so knowledgeable on all the strains. Thanks Medmen!!!!

Sunnyside is my go-to and Jerusalem is my #1 budtender. They are well-informed, professional, kind and patient with a great senses of humor and infectious laugh. I can't even guess how much time they spent with me figuring out my needs the first time I went there. And I never felt rushed. They made me feel confident that we were figuring it out and time played no role. I'm so grateful this special person showed up in my life. Thank you, Jerusalem, AKA : J Ru (Please forgive me if I have the spelling wrong.)

Very chill and knowledgeable staff; excellent addition to the neighborhood for convenience reasons, but also excellent to be lgbt and poc owned and operated.

Best crew on the North side. Location is great, staff is great, products are great. Period.

Friendly staff and fast service every visit. Usually have some great sales going on and their living wall is awesome! Haven’t checked out the lounge yet but I’m sure it’s great.

Hatch is by far my favorite dispensary that I’ve visited. The budtender they helped me was friendly & I will be back.

RYAN helped steer me in the right direction with 14 grams of Baker’s Dream by Revolution Cannabis. Greatly appreciated!!!

This is one of the nicest dispensaries in the area, you must see in person! free donut and coffee if you spend $40 during the week before 10am . Check these guys out!!

My favorite dispo by far. Nice deals on nice product and terrific well informed staff. Every receipt has some kind of discount for the following week and the rewards points are nice as well. The two Jos are particularly nice and have turned me on to some fine stuff for pain and for sleep.

Kyle was absolutely FANTABULOUS! I came in for the first time on my birthday, and of course technology hates me, so my rewards account wasn’t working! Luckily Kyle was there to swoop in, save the day, and make my birthday absolutely magical! I don’t know what he’s getting paid but he deserves DOUBLE! Besides Kyle being an absolute ASSET to the team, the atmosphere was top tier (seriously I felt like I was stepping into a mini art installation), the prices were to die for, and the bud was almost too strong (in the best way) Thanks again Kyle, and the rest of the amazing staff for making my birthday special! I’ll definitely be back!

First time being in this dispensary and wow it definitely blew my expectations out of the water! BEAUTIFUL store with huge windows and natural light unlike any of the other dispensaries I’ve visited in the area. Staff had a great vibe and steered me to some new strains I hadn’t tried yet on the IL side. I will be back when I’m in the Edwardsville area 100%!

12/24/25. Sam, the cashier was super chill & down to earth. Really good at his job and took good care of me as a customer! 10/10 experience.
