Chicago, the cultural hub of the Midwest, has emerged as a flourishing cannabis community with over 50 dispensaries (and more on the way) catering to medical and adult-use cannabis customers. Since Illinois legalized cannabis, Chicago dispensaries have perfected their cannabis offerings, deals, and customer service, making it a delightful experience for locals and tourists visiting the Windy City.

Dispensaries in Chicago have come a long way in just 4 years of adult-use sales. Today, the city features social equity initiatives and programs that ensure the people running the dispensaries fully represent the diversity and spectrum of Chicago’s community.

If you’re seeking a top-notch dispensary in Chicago, look no further than Leafly List. Leafly List features the very best dispensaries in Chicago, handpicked based on dispensary reviews from Leafly users. Our curated List features dispensaries that offer excellent service, knowledgeable budtenders, and great deals on top-quality cannabis products.
