I fought for two years to become a part of the Illinois Medical Cannabis program. With the help of Feliza Castro and her team of doctors at the The Healing Center, I was finally able to get approved. With not that many resources available yet, I initially chose another dispensary in the North Shore area. I had no prior knowledge of the company except for the little bit of research I did about their locations and their menu. I mainly chose them because of my familiarity with the area/neighborhood since that's where I grew up. I was recently referred to Greenhouse and decided to give it a try. I am so glad that I did. My first two times at the original dispensary I chose were just okay. Nothing special. It felt dry and corporate. I was not impressed but happy to get the medicine I had been waiting so long for. When you enter their lobby, you are checked in and then asked to wait in "modern" cookie-cutter looking type area. You can obviously tell they didn't invest much money or time into their set up. Once you go back to the Patient Care Consultants, you feel like you're in a doctor's office almost. There are no display cases and you sit across a desk with your consultant. I will admit that they are kind and knowledgeable, as they should be. But again, I was turned off in a way by how they designed their approach. I came in to the Greenhouse Deerfield location last Saturday and was greeted warmly by Landon(who had previously confirmed that my Dispensary change went through with the IL DPH) and was invited to sit and a much more welcoming and warm lobby environment. I am a huge music fan and was very happy to hear some old school Grateful Dead playing on the sound system. You can associate their music with a hippie/stoner following but for me it means so much more. The song Ripple played right before I was called into the back part of the shop. This was the song I chose for my Grandfather's funeral who recently passed away. He was the one to introduce me to their music. I felt like I was at home!!! It was truly awesome. I felt way more at ease, comfortable and most importantly I felt like a person not just a "patient". I understand the state treats us/refers to us as patients but that word always make me think of my medical condition and I just don't like it. Instead of being greeted by a consultant, I was greeted by Max who felt more like a friend than anything! He was informative, helpful, caring and genuinely concerned with what I needed and how GH's products could benefit me most. Jessica was also there to offer some input but had to to take care of another patient/customer. I strongly admire her dedication and passion. She is a great GM!!!! The look of the back part of the shop was everything I hoped it would be and more. At my previous dispensary on the NorthShore, it's very bland and office looking. At Greenhouse, you have this beautiful piece of art that serves as your Chalkboard cases and elegant display cases that really make you feel like you're in California or Colorado! In fact, the entire store was designed in a way(in my opinion) that makes you feel wanted, welcome and comfortable. I was very impressed with the approach and the concept and I can't wait till I can afford to come back for more. Additionally, the smoking accessory collection not only blows the competition out of the water....but it's affordable and made with quality material. Again, I'm impressed. You guys know what you're doing and I'm extremely glad I made the switch!
Ratings and reviews of Curaleaf - Deerfield
Very welcoming atmosphere. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Offers lots of different information about cannabis, brands, dosages, and events to participate in. Very professional. Worth the thirty minute drive.
I love the greenhouse. My transition to medical marijuana for my PTSD and chronic pain has not been an easy one. The state was hard to deal with but the amazing staff at the greenhouse helped me to process my application and have been really knowledgeable when it comes to getting me the right product. Thanks Greenhouse!
This is literally THE BEST medical dispensary in Illinois. Been a patient for 3 years, I’ll never switch dispensaries.

LOVE this place!!
Total awesome place! Get them grassroots
Bud tenders are always friendly and most of all knowledgeable. I am on a first name basis with just about all of them and this is by best dispensary experience for customer service.
I couldn't be happier with the experience that I've had as a new patient. Staff are entirely professional but not at all pretentious. They're friendly, funny, and generous with both time and information. The location feels entirely safe and discreet, which is very important to me. Everyone on staff, from the person that greets you to the GM (who is always around for support!) tries to remember your name and to greet you with warmth. The rewards program is noteworthy, but even more impressive are their offering of classes and groups! As a patient, you're invited to take part in support groups, mindfulness, health, and even the basics like how to roll your flowers! I feel very lucky to have chosen this dispensary. Highly recommended.
It’s way better thank Starbucks
Great staff, large selection of products. I love that they offer yoga and stuff for patients
The service I got from my budtender Bruce was second in none. They gave me all the proper information regarding what would work best for my illness and everything that I've tried was top of the line, very fresh and exceeded my expectations in every way.
Love the people at Greenhouse Deerfield!!
Loved this place on first visit they were extremely knowledgeable. I didn't care for the fact that you couldn't see samples or smell before purchasing. On my first visit I got very lucky and loved all the meds purchased, but unfortunately yesterday's visit was disappointing I Do Not recommend the sky walker og it's extremely tiny pieces of extremely dried out brittle flower. I'm hoping I have better luck on my next visit, the reason im going to return is the staff was great and personal
Very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Was looking for CBD options and they had several suggestions. Appeared to have excellent selection of different cannabis product. Look forward to returning.
I have grown to love greenhouse! I'm so fortunate that I was recommended to a great dispensary and I'm treated like family. I come in almost every week and everyone knows me and I know them. i love the staff and it helps when they've had experiences In certain products and can provide you the information and you can decide from there also I really love the fact that they have their Loyalty Rewards program it's really does help and they always run specials and deals which is great for anyone and I believe they have discounts for veterans which is cool for them to. I don't see my self leaving for a long time. these guys are my family. thank you guys for basically existing because I would not feel normal enough to function without you guys available
Very nice place, very professional and awesome information and help. I will be coming back.
