I have now been a patient here for approximately 2 months. I can say that if you are willing to talk and share the bud tenders Gus and Star do listen and have a good knack for recalling your preferences and making suggestions. I personally like to vary strains nearly every purchase and this allows me to get great products often at a great sale value. You really do get the feeling of being treated as a friend instead of a client

First I must say I came to this facility for 2 reasons. 1st Reason was the location. It is right off of the expressway. 2nd reason is because I asked alot of fellow patient reviewers about this facility anf heard nothing but good things. my first visit i was warmly greeted by the staff and they were beyond cool. Very informative and very honest. Their menu was very very impressive. I love shelby county community services products and from the previous dispensary (the herbal care center 13th western๐๐) they had alll their products which made my day!!!so if your reading this get down to the posen location and register there asap for the best service in Illinois

I'm a first time cannabis user and last week was my first visit to a dispensary. I was very impressed by the professional atmosphere and the knowledge and accommodating nature of the staff. I have fibromyalgia along with a myriad of other things. The day that I went was a bad day for me and I wasn't getting around well. I was offered a wheel chair or anything else I needed. Overall I'm very glad I picked them because they are all about the patient and removing the stigma of receiving this life changing medicine. I left feeling a lot more comfortable about my decision to try medical cannabis. I'm also a big fan of Gus that everyone mentions. He made me feel that we were starting a journey that would lead to the relief I've been seeking everywhere for years.

DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!
THIS DISPENSARY DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO BUY MORE THAN 7 GRAMS OF FLOWER IN 1 DAY EVEN IF YOU HAVE AVAILABLE UNITS. THIS PECULIAR POLICY IS INCREDIBLY INCONVENIENT. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!
I have never seen any other dispensary with this incredibly inconvenient policy. At every other dispensary I have been to, if you have available units, you can buy whatever you want. NOT HERE THOUGH.
The staff is HORRIBLY RUDE and in my opinion VERY LAZY. I have called multiple times and received incorrect information most of the time. After I repeatedly told them what they told me was wrong, they refused to take responsibility and it just frankly seems that the staff does not care to help.
Despite spending a TON of money at this dispensary, I have been repeatedly treated with disrespect. I FELT 0 CUSTOMER APPRECIATION while going here. That was my cue to leave.

I have many gr8 times @Posen. Yesterday was especially wonderful. Being a Reiki Master, my surroundings, needs to be pure and free of negativity. The energy there is Ahmazing!! One of the duo's, Peyton was there. This man never stops trying,to get better prices for his patients. A good person, who actually cares. Windy City Cannabis is the premier and only place for good quality medicine. Also, where everyone knows your name. Gus & Star, Muah-

I've been a patient at WCC since June 2016. I used to love this place. I still love many of the people that work there, however it's lost it's personal compassionate side. Management is not compassionate or caring like they should be. Example. I placed an online order for pick up, but due to new hours i didn't make it there in time. No problem the next day i go online top place an additional order since new items were added to the menu. In fact, i added two new orders. Mmt total was over 475 dollars. I get there and the security staff is like 10 people deep all bombarding you with questions and directions.
I give my id and try top pick up my items... well the first order is cancelled.. the third items are cancelled and for whatever reason the second items are ready. i politely ask for all items and i am told i can't get the items i ordered. WTF...
The district manager appears and explains to me that although i did receive text telling me my items are ready.... they choose to cancel my orders. I wont be permitted to pick up any new items beaides the two they choose. I explained to her that was bogus, rude and not a good business practice. Sheer argued but eventually sold me the items i requested.
Such an unnecessary harrassment and sour taste to what usually is the highlight of my day seeing people that are known for giving personal compassionate customer service.
Candice, Star, Dave, Kevin... still gets great marks for knowing how to treat you right.
Secondly, the selections are so limited now... It's not much that can be done by WCC. I think they need to keep the family feel for their patients. The relationships matter to the patients.

Soooo bad. I drove an hour three days straight, going earlier each day to be told each time by someone just peeking their head out of the door to say they arenโt open anymore. Call first? Nope, they donโt answer the phone. None of the Windy City locations do. Still donโt even have an explanation for why I was turned away.

Itโs an average location with below average staff

They carry great products and services is fast and friendly. However, I have one issue. Several times I have visited and they either closed early or closed recreational sales early. They need to learn to remain true to their business hours. I called about 2 hours ago and asked what time they closed to recreational users. I was told 6pm. I call awhile later to make sure before I went and lo and behold, they are closed to recreational users. Again, stay true to the hours you have posted on your website and stores. I get that there is a high demand but it really is your responsibility as a business to make sure you are able supply that demand.

Windy City Posen has the best prices, selection, staff, and atmosphere in the Chicago area. I recently changed my dispensary and Im very pleased with my decision. Gus and his staff are very informed and welcoming. I recommend anyone who's looking for a new dispensary contact the Illinois department of Public health and request this location. The turn around time is 24-48 hrs and its well worth it.

I have have had such a great experience with this location Gus and Star are so informative and caring this has become my extended family right when I thought it could not get any better I met David then Emily and her kind heart with extra giving and caring makes this place the best for me... I don't know what I would do without them right now they always know exactly what I need when I need it..... Hope Emily is here to stay also!!!! She brings more joy and snacks :) I Love this place ๐

This location is by far the most peaceful and informative to the community of Posen. I suggest that when going in if you have any questions about any of the products than speaking to Gus is a must.

1st Saturday visit after legalization for rec. cannabis in IL. Got there about 15 min after they opened at 10:15 AM. I was there for about 2 hrs and in line outside for about 90 minutes. Once inside, things went comparatively quickly. The place is surprisingly small. I was very disappointed that they had almost no product available and we were told by security that they were โunderstaffedโ. Huh?!๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ I was only allowed to purchase 1 GM each of the only 2 strains of flower they had, in addition to a pre-roll joint of a 3rd strain. My final item was a bag of blueberry gummies(100 mg/10 pieces). The packaging was quality and well labeled.
I realize rec. is a new process but Iโm astounded that the lines are this long and these facilities managed to underestimate the amount of products they should have in hand. My 4 purchased items cost $101, $19 of which was tax! Tax per item increases based upon THC potency which doesnโt make much sense to me. I can only hope that the variety and restrictions of purchasing desired amounts improve over time. At this time, itโs certainly cheaper to purchase these items on the street but that MAY change over time as well. Itโs a great day in IL though! Progress is progress. Just donโt have unrealistic expectations and be prepared to wait for a considerable period of time everywhere in the Chicago Metro Area. I have not yet sampled my product but it looks and smells to be of good quality.
Incidentally, my Leafly app. stated that WCC Posen had way more varieties and products than they actually had. They also did not list any THC or CBD content for anything. Not sure why but obviously some glitches will need to be worked out moving forward. Herbs & peace to all!

I switched to this dispensary a month ago and Iโve found it to be a fantastic dispensary.

I am an patient at this location. Where is the variety of flower especially indica for patients? There seems to be only 6 or 7 types of flower posted on this site and none of them are indica. I can view the menu through both this leafly app and through email. Every time I am on either, there is nothing to offer in flower. Is there another website available for me to see the variety of products available or should I just go to dispensary much further away that has variety for its patients besides just for veterans? I really loved coming here but it seems since Recreational started it has really changed and things are not readily available like before. The quality is not as great as it used to be. The service is always friendly. The atmosphere used to make me feel like home but now it feels strange these days.
