I really, really wanted to like this place. I had a great relationship with the wonderful Metropolitan Wellness Center in DC. All of the dispensaries in Illinois have sky high prices, thats a given. Think about 5 times the total cost vs., say, Washington State or Colorado. Still, people in the Midwest are desperate for legal weed and there is very, very little competition except the black market. That said, the black market is better than these places in Illinois. The ordering process is bizarrely complicated. They are OFTEN out of products. There is no way to return defective products. If everything works perfectly the process takes at least two hours, usually 3 or 4. Then after you jump through all of the hoops -- and they actually have what you want -- you still feel ripped off.

I arrived about 11:00 AM on a Tuesday. It was total chaos. Cars were parked by the side of the road. I waited for an hour but the line barely moved. Police were checking each car. I felt very unsafe and got the heck out of there.
