Girl at the front door is still a grumpy b. They really need to get rid of her and find someone that smiles and more friendly to their customers.

Elevele has the best staff I've ever encountered in a medical cannabis dispensary in my 7 years of having a medical marijuana card between here and my previous residence. On Saturday July 15th I went in to get my flower because that is my preferred method of consumption and the staff knows me really well so I was looking for a point in the right direction in something new. I love the Huckleberry Kush so I got an 8th of Platinum Huckleberry because, why not? Paul tells me check out this new flower "Chi-Dawg" popcorn nugs. I've never been disappointed in any flower recommended to me from any of the staff here, so when I get home i settle in, put my Platinum Huckleberry in a jar with my Boveda moisture pack. I sit down, open the Chi Dawg; the aroma took me away. It was an instant earthy, sinus clearing scent. I took out my flashlight on my phone and the nugs were lime green with some dark leaves, nice orange hairs. I gave it the "squish test" to check out the density it had some nice tightness and density, some nugs were a little lighter and I personally love it because my main way to smoke is Bong and Blunts so when it breaks out it is nice and solid little pellets that form perfectly and burns very evenly. Taking a snap in the bong tastes amazing, very clean tasting and smoother than I expected for how potent the flower is. In a blunt the flower taste the way it smells, earthy, potent and kind of bitter sweet. The snap I took first, it took, 2 .1 snaps and instantly had an effect; calm, anxiety instantly started to calm, my heart rate slowed, I started to relax and read a little bit of news. My peak came about 35 minutes after smoking and lasted about 50 minutes at that peak euphoria and had about a 20 minute come down to where I started. I went and proceeded to roll up a .8 blunt in a "Diamond" Swisher. about half way through I felt completely relaxed, muscles started to relax, I was content sitting there smoking not looking at anything, no TV, no reading, nothing to keep my busy and with ADHD that is very difficult for me to do and this worked. I finished smoking the blunt in 1 sitting in about 12 minutes and in about 30 minutes I was at my peak, enjoying dinner, then I sat down and watched TV for about an hour before playing a game of Madden and then I was ready for bed. I slept like a baby, woke up refreshed, and will definitely be going back for more of this Chi Dawg. Hands down, a highly effective flower. I'm still enjoying the Chi Dawg, when I get around to the Platinum Huckleberry, I'll let you know how it is.

This is the premier medical cannabis dispensary of the north shore. The staff at Elevele has the knowledge, the space is amazing and they go above and beyond to make sure we have the best medical cannabis options in the state. If you love concentrates like me - they have you covered. Elevele is my go to medical cannabis dispensary for so many reasons. Just give them a chance. You won't be disappointed.

Having used Medicinal Marijuana since diagnosed with Metastatic Prostate Cancer 3 1/2 years ago, I've become fairly knowledgeable with strains and their benefits for my illness. The staff at Elevele are very knowledgeable about the product they represent. As I don't want to hear suggestions that mislead or upsell, here the suggestions for product that I'm not familiar with are genuine. If you are a patient new to medicinal marijuana, Brian, Paul and Rory are very great! They will introduce you to this phenomenal plant that has so many benefits, to help us in so many ways. I have been to all the dispensaries in Lake County... give Elevele a visit as they will certainly provide you with easy to understand knowledge and compassion. "Feel Good!" - Bill

I've been here a couple times now and cannot think of how the experience could have been better. The store is well designed, clean, & professional inside & out. That and the attentive & knowledgeable staff combined made a nervous novice instantly comfortable.

Hello community . I’m not sure where to begin as Elevele beats any dispensary in this state. As of January 1st when recreational marijuana became legal all the dispensaries changed for the worst for medical patients. Long lines , limited inventory , chaotic environment , to sum it up it’s become an unpleasant experience . I was referred to Elevele by word of mouth and am so happy I changed over . To begin , the staff is so welcoming and thorough while walking you through the process. The environment is clean . Each staff member is so patient, knowledgeable, and put in as much effort to guarantee satisfaction. I was so pleased on my first day to walk in to a dispensary that is managed and ran so efficiently, as well, they have amazing inventory and not just amazing but an overwhelming amount of amazing products . I do have to give a shout-out and thank you to Brendan Striegl and Hari Jaklarri, both patient care representatives . Brendan was the person who helped me make my selection. He was so kind and welcoming , a smile and dealing with each patient with the time they deserve is truly what Brendan exceeds amongst any other patient care representative I ever dealt with . He is so knowlead gable about products, growers , and helping make the right selection for your individual needs . Now, Hari Jakllari went above and beyond, as when I made my first purchase I was still unable to log into Elevele account . 2 phone calls and 40 minutes later Hari helped fixed the situation. Overall , if you’re looking for a dispensary that operates smoothly , focuses on individual client satisfaction and a place where you leave with a smile , I would definitely recommend Elevele to anyone. Thank you so much for the time, patience, kindness, excellent inventory and making me feel apart of the Elevele community .

From my first visit, which was LONG overdue, my experience with Management, Front desk, Wait Times, Specials and Promotions and MOST IMPORTANTLY, THEIR HANDLING OF PATIENT ALLOTMENTS has been OUTSTANDING!!! Shout out to an EXCEPTIONAL BUDTENDER, Elizabeth JUSTUS.. YOU ROCK... GREAT DISPENSARY..

Great, very welcoming and helpful.

I absolutely LOVE Elevele! I haven't been out of the house much this winter, but every time I make it there, everyone is so friendly and welcoming. My husband has a caregiver card and often goes to pick up pre-orders for me. Everyone always remembers him and will often chat about everything from life to cannabis. They are super receptive to feedback of all kinds. They have fantastic weekly deals, a rewards program, discounts, and they host fantastic events! They have a Great selection of cannabis products and are extremely knowledgeable in the language of cannabis. I'll often send my husband with feedback on strains I've tried, as I suffer from a rarer pain condition, and they are always welcoming feedback on strains for specific ailments. They're also flat out honest, if they think you are getting something that won't help you.! Absolutely Adore Elevele!!

Hands down best of the best in Northern Illinois. Guarantee you will not find better service or better group of people than the workers at this location. Wide variety of Growers and products and they always have good deals.

Great combination of a great selection and an educated informed staff. Elevele is a very user friendly place to find the medication that works best for you. Highly recommended.

My experience at Elevele has been great! The staff is empathetic and compassionate. They are all well versed in medical cannabis and in it's many forms. I am confident in their recommendations. Elevele offers a rewards program too. Patients can earn free product depending on the number of visits! They continue to be well stocked. Convenient location. Thank you to Brian, Paul, Annie, Elizabeth, Vicki and Aaron....The owners as well! Richard 11/05/2017

Top notch. Amazing deals for northern Illinois patients

Love this place! everyone is so nice and helpful here!!! They have great deals on products and all staff is extremely knowledgeable on product. Not to mention you are able to place your order online before you even come in. I am switching dispensaries and making Elevele my new place to go!

Everyone is so helpful and friendly! the products are great, love the edibles and wax. Super clean and organized!

Everyone is so friendly and knowledgeable. If every business was run this well it would be a different planet. Kudos!

My first time here and it was Awesome!!!! LOVE IT!! Everyone was nice and I had no issues what so ever. I'm big on reviews of places and I read some before I came. For those who complain about the front door person is she was awesome and helpful, You must of done something wrong or showed up when they are closed. I know cause she had to turned someone away when I was there and they got all mad cause they were in the fault and started to argue with her. She was respectful and everything that a Security personal can/should be, I felt sorry for her cause she must get that lot and people need to understand just because you are in the wrong does not mean you should take it out on the staff here. There is a reason they have security and rules in place. I'll be returning here cause they do a wonderful job and treat you with respect. LOVE Elevele!!!!

Best prices in the north shore! Friendly and welcoming staff that are always ready to help. Wish there was a bigger selection, but the stuff they usually get is usually top-notch.

Must try! Can’t beat the prices and customer service. There selection of products is amazing as well. I used to go to the Clinic in Mundelein, and I probably will never go back. Love this place!

Everyone here is very friendly and knowledgeable. i enjoyed my experience here.
