Cannabist - Chicago (medical)

I changed to this dispensary after visiting 3 others, and even though this one is farther than at least 6 others to my home, this one is BY FAR the LEAST expensive! Outstanding deals for veteran's, 15% off instead of the usual 10%. And, EVERYTHING gets the discount, not just half the menu like other places. Also, use your 5% credit after EVERY $100 spent. Spin the wheel on Wednesdays for extra discount of free product. And, to top it all off, the OZ prices are the best in all of Illinois! I've shopped around and called places, no joke or exaggeration. I've already recommended 2 others, and I got a $30 credit for each of them. Just love this place!

I love how fast & easy the process is. My first visit the staff was so nice & helpful. I got $30 off my first purchase & on top of that 14% off since it was valentines day. I love this dispensary, honestly been trying to compare to others & there isn’t really a comparison. Love that they have deals & take time in making sure us patients are well taken care of, They Take their patient appreciation to a new level. I’ve been there about three-four times already since & it great & fast every time. Shopping on Wednesday’s are even better! Major plus for patient only day, Definitely recommended.

I love the feel of this place. There is always someone ready to answer questions or check you out. I especially love sales on special occasions.

Cannabist-Chicago is my favorite dispensary!! Their inventory has pure quality products, the staff is super friendly and knowledgable, as they are able to answer all of my dumb questions. And it's located close to home is a plus as well!

This is a follow-up to my review of May 16, 2020. On that occasion I drove the seven miles (Chicago traffic) one way to this dispensary based upon the sweet, sweet promise of a low price on a medical product that I needed. After a person on the phone confirmed to me that the product was in stock, as the product web page also claimed, it turned out that they were totally out of stock, something I learned only when I was there. At that time, their "excuse" was that their inventory system was problematic and that they were working out the bugs. They also told me at that time that their inventory system tends to be unreliable when stock of a product is low, sometimes falsely showing that the item is still in stock. So today, exactly two months later, I decided to give them another chance. What a mistake! I found a cheap and desirable price for capsules, and decided to give it a try. The web site clearly listed the price for me as being $17.70 per bottle of ten capsules. In the grossly overpriced market of Illinois medical cannabis, that's not a bad deal. I "reserved" the product online, and the reservation confirmation affirmed that the price per bottle (I ordered four) would be $17.70. So when I got there, guess what? Golly gee, it seems that they had WAY too low a price showing, and that the bottles were actually being sold for $25 each. Are they just plain incompetent, or is this a "bait and switch" where they offer a low price they never intend to honor, and then think your knees will buckle when you get there and you'll get something at a far higher price. They swore, once again, that it was just an error, and that, gosh, they had put down a wholesale price instead of a retail price. They also told me that they would make no adjustment in price to me to compensate for THEIR (not my) error. One major pricing screw-up I can understand, but now, twice in a row? What good is Columbia Care if the pricing information on their web site is basically fictional? The state of Illinois should investigate this place's inability to list honest prices (I plan to contact them), because whether it's incompetence or deliberate, people are being lured to this dispensary based on totally false pricing information. I will NEVER shop at this place again, because I don't like their bait and switch game. Two utterly wasted trips will be quite enough for me, thank you. If your time, trouble and gas money mean anything to you, you will also be wise to take your medical cannabis dollars elsewhere. I gave one star for quality, because the quality of their online information is garbage, one star for service, because false and/or incompetent pricing is worse than no pricing at all, and is the antithesis of good service, and three stars for atmosphere, simply because the physical atmosphere was acceptable, and the staff showed routine politeness, in spite of the glaring previously mentioned careless and unethical pricing incompetence. AVOID THIS PLACE.

Great service. I like the hospitality and great deals every so often. They Also provide info on medical cannabis and are very helpful! Megan assisted me last week and I didn’t have an online order. Still very fast and efficient and was patience with me as well. Great shop in a cool neighborhood.

Amazing dispensary! Great prices, selection, and especially staff. Excellent service!

I would love to voice my opinion to all about "my" dispensary "Columbian Care Illinois". Earlier last month I received my card and was able to head on over to C.C.I., My first and all y experiences have bee a 5 plus *star if not more(a 10* star if their is such a rating on there half. The staff at Columbia Care, they are so congenial so cordial, sounderstanding to your needs mentally and physically is an "under-statement". There are not enough good words to say about Columbian Care - but to STAFF at Columbian Care , "Keep doing - what your are Doing"! isa

Knowledgeable and friendly people work here. I’ve been really happy with the quality so far. Only been here twice, but looking forward to future visits.

Very friendly, professional & knowledgeable staff, clean place and a welcoming atmosphere. Convenient location being near the Metra and CTA stations.

Awesome. Great customer service. Cool vibe and very friendly environment. Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful with medical needs. Highly recommend.

Good staff good store

Probably the fastest processing I’ve seen at any dispensary i have been to. I am always out of there in less than 5 minutes with a pre-order of course.

The staff is friendly, understanding. I feel the bud tenders are concern about there patients and that comes from great management. Thanks

The best people and product in the state! Changed my dispo from another local one over a year ago and haven't looked back. Do the online ordering for quick service!

This place is top notch. Great friendly staff that is very helpful. Seems to be the cheapest prices in the city that I have found, and they always have discounts or some sort of deal going on. Wednesdays is spin the wheel day for recreational and you can get % off or free products.

Friendly staff and clean, safe vibe. Appreciate efficiency and attention to detail, giving back to community, knowledgable staff.
