Cannabist - Chicago (medical)

I’ve been to a couple dispensary’s in the area and this one is the best by a mile. Very friendly and plenty of products to choose from.

I’m a noob and went here upon receiving my card last week. I had no idea what to expect. The location is very convenient for me and ample parking nearby. The location definitely felt safe and secure. Everyone was friendly - especially the very patient budtender who taught me about the different products available, and also helped recommend a few different strands based on my symptoms. I have slept like a baby every night since. I’m definitely coming back!

Columbia Care is the go to spot for all strains needed and wanted. The welcoming of the staff as to the amazing deals that I've received over the last few months. THE BEST!

Excellent, so close to my home!

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.

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.

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 place is awesome compared to all the other dispensaries. good deals when you purchase big and just an overall clean environment. shop at Columbia care.

The staff is friendly & helpful. There is always a good selection & promos going on!

glad I switched to Columbia care the deals are great. they have a mix&match any of the brands they carry the more you buy better then price and for every $100 spent they have a rewards $ 5 back to you to use in store also on Wednesday's they have wheel to spin haven't gone on a Wednesday yet.. as this is my frist visit so happy to see better deals and prices gear a little more for the patients I would give them a try if you like to buy in wight and love deal. this is the dispensary for me.

The prices are fantastic given the competition. The selection is also great. I like that there are specials each week for flower, as well as discounted pricing if you meet certain criteria or join the membership club. I would encourage anyone in Chicago to check this dispensary out, since you get $30 off your first purchase just for signing up.

Awesome selection, great deals. Right at the junction.

The staff was super helpful and was able to walk me through available product and provide recommendations on what they thought would best help my situation. They were right with their recommendations!

At Colombia Care, the quality of the products, knowledge of the staff, and reasonability of the prices are second to none. From the moment you walk in until the moment you are medicated, CC provides an exceptional mmj experience.

I have been going to this dispensary since i first got my med card & every single employee i have come across has been nothing but amazing & helpful. The selection is great, i’ve always been able to find what I need, & the staff really works with me to ensure that!

Very calm and helpful

From the wide array of products to the staff and their friendliness and knowledge, you will not find a better dispensary. So glad this is in my neighborhood.

this was a refreshing first time visit. staff was friendly, knowledgeable, down to earth and didn't waste time. can't wait to go again!

Conveniently located!

Columbia Care gets a high rating from me. I decided to switch to Columbia Care from the only dispensary I've known since I became a patient three years ago. Columbia has a lot of great deals and incentives. The people who work there are friendly,knowledgeable and helpful. They make you feel comfortable and explain their different products. Seth gets a 5 out of 5 in his service he provided me today.

Had a great first experience here. As of now, the patient loyalty programs seem to be more generous than nearby Chicago dispensaries. I didn’t feel rushed and they have chairs where I can sit when I place an order. I don’t feel that all dispensaries are suited for medical patients due to the loud music and lack of seating options, but Columbia Care is different. Being able to sit down and talk to the patient care specialist was the difference between me getting my medicine or having to leave immediately due to balance issues and overstimulation. Thanks guys!

Great staff and great product

Great service & friendly faces & great prices!!! I recommend this to all mmj patients!!!

My only really complaint is they aren't open on Sunday. My work hours make it hard to get over there other days including Saturdays
