Cannabist - Chicago (medical)
5/20/2021
This was the first dispensary I visited as a new cannabis user. I have a medical card and am hoping to use cannabis to treat IBS, pain and anxiety. I’ve been here twice, and both bud tenders I worked with seemed annoyed and were quite impatient with my naïveté. Neither had any truly useful suggestions for edible cannabis products to treat IBS or anxiety. Despite making it very clear I have no interest in smoking or vaping, I still felt very pressured on my first visit to try vape products.
Frankly, working with this dispensary has made me wary of continuing to try cannabis for medicinal purposes. I become anxious just thinking about going back a third time (to this dispensary, or ANY dispensary) to try and find products I don’t have to smoke for relief.
