I was three stops away on the bus when my phone alerted me that nuEra was closing soon. My guests…read moreand I were in shock. We were so close to the business. I called and was connected to someone at the store. I stated I had traveled far to come and get medical marijuana, I knew what I wanted and could pay over the phone that I would be there within the next two minutes max. The person on the other end of the line asks if they can do that and I hear people yelling NO! And conversations. He comes back to say no, because they closed their registers earlier than the listed time of closing. All registers were fully broken down by 3:30 pm. They were listed as closing at 8pm when I spent over an hour traveling there. I was in the weather they were closing over. This is Chicago. It snows in Chicago. It's upsetting that they would treat a disabled person with a medical condition this way. It's apparent they don't want my business.

I recently got into Vaping CBD flower, and was in need of some local goods and knowledge. After…read morehitting up some shops and getting disappointed by the quality and prices that I found, I stumbled onto this little shop and knew this was going to be good. So welcoming, clean, calm and the owner and girl that works there are the most awesome, knowledgeable people I have come across in a long time. They have the best selection of fresh flower I have found in this city. The best CBD products for your mind and body, which is why this is now my to go store. I cannot recommend this shop enough. They are there to answer all your questions and make sure that you leave with what you were looking for. Customer service- 4 stars. Products- 4 stars. Prices- 4 stars. Go check them out, you will not be disappointed.

Tonight was my second visit to Botanic Alternatives, and my first impressions of it have been…read moreconfirmed--it's great. I'd previously visited a few CBD/vape shops in Chicago, but most of them had either a stoner, haphazard or indifferent vibe. (One in my neighborhood, which shall go nameless, was disorganized, had staffers more interested in chatting, smoking and hanging out with friends, carried more bongs & pipes than actual products, and weren't at all knowledgeable about types of CBD nor for what they were appropriate--the very young clerk had to phone her boss at home for answers, and I still didn't feel adequately advised). But Botanic Alternatives is a gem! Unlike the other stores, it is devoted mostly to CBD (with a smaller section for nicotine), and carries a variety of the most reputable CBD products (I know because I've vetted many brands online), with no gimmicky or faux-stoner stuff (such as those Weed World truck scam candies). Owner Tom, and associates Marissa & Jeffrey are friendly, patient, professional and extremely knowledgeable. Both times I shopped there I had extremely specific questions about which CBD products would fit my precise health concerns, and they explained exactly why they recommended some products for me and steered me away from some others. I also sought Jeffrey's advice for how to transition my husband from cigarettes to vaping (a work in progress). There is plenty of literature on hand to educate consumers. The layout is modern, brightly-lit, streamlined and very well-organized. Tinctures, edibles, tablets/capsules, vapables/concentrates, flower and even pet products are in their own sections of shelves and eye-level display cases. Jeffrey was able to advise me as to how to customize & combine amounts of products to best fit my needs (e.g., sleep, pain relief, anti-anxiety), and even integrate them with supplements & foods I have on hand. There's even a comfy lounge area with sofas & tables. (Those other shops mentioned in the first paragraph didn't even have a single chair on hand, and felt like "corner-store-meets-head-shop"). The only downside for me is location: Logan Square is trendy, but it's far from my north lakefront 'hood, difficult to reach by public transit (at least the CTA line that serves my area), and parking is a crapshoot at best. But that's not their fault--they are well-suited to the surrounding upscale millennial demographic (though even as an unhip aging-boomer I nonetheless felt welcomed, valued and comfortable). Besides, rideshare services have made driving & parking a non-issue. Hence the full complement of stars!

They also have a compassionate cannabis use program that helps out medical users who have fallen on hard times, which I think is amazing. I'm always looking to support an independent dispo over a big corporate cannabis conglomerate, and D33 is easy to support! My only minor suggestions would be to improve the POS system a bit (sometimes more complex sales/deals aren't reflected at the register and the bud tender has to do some manual work), and to bring in more classic strains in whole flower form (Blue Dream, GG, Super Silver Haze, Sour Tangie, etc.).

And God forbid if you would complain to the manager (two times) because the sniveling little weasel named Andres laughs in your face and says they need time to check the order (8 times??) so there is noting he can do about it. The staff is nice so not sure why they cannot hear a complaint and consider a solution that might work like going in order.

The loyalty program is a nice perk, but when there's nothing you want to buy, it's kind of pointless. In theory, having no cultivator obligations sounds nice, but apparently Okay only gets what they don't want to sell at their own dispensaries. Difficult to have "regular" selections, and apparently NO ONE will sell them 1g vape carts... and when they do, there's ONE on the menu and it's (of course) well over $100 The website and kiosk often don't match up with what's available--and neither tell you anything about the strain. Today, they didn't have ANY disposable pens, even though the website said they did. Some decent specials, but who knows what will be in stock, if anything. I'm done. When 50/50 can figure out how to keep an actual choice in 1g carts that aren't all ridiculously overpriced, maybe I'll come back. But at this point, I'm done.
