Maribis of Springfield (Recreational)
7/8/2019
Very helpful staff spent time with me to explain everything I needed to know. Marabis Springfield has an incredible variety of flower and other forms of cannabis. I was in Maine recently, which has a reciprocal program where people with medical cards from other states can purchase from dispensaries there, and I visited two of them. One did not have any high CBD strains, and the other had just one. At Marabis I had a choice of about 8 high CBD strains in flower form and several others in cartridge form.
Dispensaries in Maine are about a third less expensive than Marabis, but the quality of flower was also lower. Illinois regulates its growers and dispensaries more than Maine does, and I think that is why there are more medical strains and higher quality in Illinois.
All in all, I am happy so far with Marabis. It may be more expensive than places in other states, but if I’m paying more at least I can actually get strains that work for me. Marabis isn’t more expensive than other Illinois dispensaries, so one can’t complain about that. I expect with legalization prices will come down in Illinois as they have in other states which legalized recreational after medical marijuana programs were in place.
