Curaleaf - New Lenox

I just got off the phone with my mother who visited this establishment a couple days ago. I ought to preface this by saying for many years my mom was strongly opposed to Cannabis (mainly due to me abusing Cannabis when i was a teenager). Since then times have changed dramatically. Peoples perceptions have changed, and the positive theraputic benefits of Cannabis has become common knowledge. My moms husband has Parkinsons disease,and surprisingly my mom encouraged him to obtain his medical card, and she her caretaker card. My mom called me today to tell me about her experience at the Greenhouse Dispensary. She spoke incredibly highly about the place. And she specifically spoke very highly about how helpful,and knowledgable a gentleman named "Brian" was. (Reading the reviews, a man named "Ryan" was mentioned favorably by many, and I suspect this may have been the person she spoke to and my mom misinterpreted his name as "Ryan"). Given my mom's previously held views on Cannabis, her visiting a dispensary is in sharp contrast to her previous beliefs. Wide spread shifting attitudes regarding medical Cannabis in the public and media, (along with my mothers profession placing her in contact with people medically benefiting from Cannabis),IMO helped her see the benefit that Cannabis could have for her husband who suffers from Parkinsons disease. I think some doubts or effects from false anti-cannabis propaganda still caused her to procrastinate taking the plunge and visiting a dispensary. Fortunately her visiting this establishment, and speaking with "Brian" or "Ryan" helped seal the deal and I think she now fully believes she is not only doing the right thing, but that Cannabis does have many medically theraputic values. I thank you for being patient with my mother and her husband and taking the time to adequately explain the number of products available, and the pros and cons of the many products available for ingesting Cannabis. I am incredibly thankful for the time you took with my mother and her husband. Had she went to an establishment that wasnt as knowledgeable, and helpful, who knows how her opinion would have been effected. Thank You again, and I look forward to hopefully visiting your establishment in the future.
