And we know you have plans for 4/20, and probably already got your hands on your favorite stoner food in Chicago. Sure, you can go into your stash and smoke your all-time favorite. But we challenge you to try something new today and look at Chicago’s best independent dispensaries! The first bud that catches your eye, you buy. Do we have a deal?
Grasshopper Club
2551 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL 60647
As Chicago’s first black-owned independent dispensary, Grasshopper Club is making Logan Square greener than it already is! Started by a native Southside family, the goal of the Grasshopper Club was to create an inclusive space that goes further than just selling weed. This dispensary sells personalized items and offers a customized experience for all patrons. Still, it also takes a lot of pride in offering job opportunities and creating a more “diverse ecosystem in the industry.” This 4/20, they are also partnering up with adjacent businesses to throw a 420 Block Party!
Ivy Hall
1720 N Damen Ave, Chicago, IL 60647
If shopping at a dispensary can feel like an intimidating experience, check out Ivy Hall. Whether you’re new to the green or a professional pothead, the experience of shopping at Ivy Hall is one of a kind. They promise a sacred experience, knowledgeable “budtenders”, easy browsing, and the ability to ask as many questions as you need. In the city, Ivy Hall is located in Bucktown, but there are a few other locations across the suburbs. To make the visit quick, Ivy Hall offers pickup orders so you can get home to your new best bud even faster.
Dispensary 33

As the first medical cannabis dispensary to open in December of 2015, Dispensary33 recognizes the work that has come before them, and plans to keep working hard in the community as marijuana becomes more widely available.
