MedMen - Oak Park

I overall like the place and have spent so much money there, but I just called 2/7/24, and the person who answered the phone was so unprofessional. Before saying hello she said we’re cloooosssed and was laughing. I had to drag out of her that they’re closed for 2wks & will be reopening. Then she laughed and I said what’s funny and she said that her friend was doing something. Then she said adios and hung up! Wtf?! Do better

i hate to go negative because this place legalls sells cannabis, but wanted to share what i've learned. since nearby sunnyside in elmwood park is owned by cresco, i believe cresco stopped supplying their cartridge products to medmen. i'm a medical user, and i've been tracking medmen's daily availability of cresco carts for the past year, and they've slowly diminished over 2023 to where they literally had zero cresco carts for the first couple months of 2024. it appears cresco is trying to put medmen out of business - and succeeding. sunnyside has consistently had way better availability and prices. also, medmen's music is WAY TOO LOUD. service is hit or miss. when you check in at the front desk, you won't get a friendly greeting or even eye contact. there always seems to be a wait, yet there are 5 visible employees either doing nothing or laughing loudly in back (apparently trying to hear themselves over the music). it's walking distance from home, yet i no longer go to medmen. hoping they re-open as a sunnyside.

This dispensary will be out of business soon....like very soon

I bought the Wedding Cake Shake by Simply Herb this time. $128 for an ounce of “shake” that I found what seemed to be chopped up stems; and not just the twigs from trimming buds but what seems to be pieces of larger stems. The flavor and smell were a bit green, while the consistency was about that of a single grind though it tended to clump together which lent to the green flavor. It could have used a longer cure time before packaging. The product was harvested in May 2023 and packaged June 2023. I will say the buzz from the Wedding Cake was quite nice. I started with a half dozen hits off my dry herb vaporizer with an initial lift of euphoria that segued into a strong head and body high that stretched out over three or four hours. Would have been nice to get a better cure to improve flavor but at $128 an Ounce for a value brand, if you get the chance, go for it.
