Natalie at the Peoria store was fantastic: knowledgeable about products, she provided excellent customer service, made recommendations tailored to my preferences, and, she was so kind it made my day!

Natalie is fantastic. She always takes great care of me and hooks me up and is very friendly. This is my favorite place to go.

The Green Solution is a vapid Apple-store/Best Buy type dispensary experience. You enter like airport security through rope lines winding this way and that. There are bright flashy electronic displays showing information (if you can read it through the glare of the screen and the glass display case the screen is behind) and one chosen nug of each flower on its own little pedestal.
The flower is of reasonable quality, the cure perhaps a little overdone, but you will only ever inspect one preweighed 1/8 of whatever you ask for.
There is an abundance of paraphernalia, upsells, and addons offered for rather steep prices. All prices are listed pre-tax, and they will force you to buy a carry bag if like me you didn't know you needed to bring one of your own.
I looked up the available strains on Leafly, none of which seemed to be available in the store. I hesitantly selected an overpriced 1/8 only to discover that the post-tax price made it even more unaffordable. The insult to injury was that I had to pay for a carry bag... it was only $1 but seeing as I don't ever plan to return to this dispensary (merely from lack of any compelling reason to do so) it just pissed me off more.
Im sure that dude-bros with money falling out of their pockets may love this type of experience, but I prefer simplicity. Give me honest out-the-door pricing, the ability to watch my flower get weighed, and a little warmth to the environment.
Dispensary response:
Thank you for the detailed review. We pre-weigh all our flower because we must stream line the experience. We do see many customers a day, and we can't bottle neck during the process. We want to make sure that each experience in timely, but fullfilling for the patron. Also, compliance is very important to TGS. That bag serves as child safe packaging so no one accidently finds your stash. If you have any questions, please ask for a manager, and they are more than happy to answer all your questions. We appreciate your feedback, and we will see you very soon.

I love coming in here and buying my salve for muscle pain. There's an employee here named Matthew and he is the most attentive budtender i've ever had. He always tells you deals and makes sure you don't leave unsatisfied!

I called corporate to resolve this issue and was told I would get a call back but never did so I guess I’ll let you know here. I came in a few months ago to get some concentrates and a cart and had a terrible experience. All I wanted was the 4 for $60 indie wax and a cart with my 15% off med card discount. I showed my med card to the manager, to get the 15% off and he looked at it so I naturally assumed that meant he would use the discount on the cartridge. I noticed after I left that the discount wasn’t applied so I went back in and they said I couldn’t double discount. I explained that wasn’t a double discount nor what I wanted. I just wanted 15% on the cart. I’ve done the 4 for $60 and 3 for $15 edibles together all the time so why would this be any different? But regardless the staff was extremely rude and unhelpful and didn’t even mention I wasn’t receiving there discount on the cart? But if that was the case they should of said something when I showed my med card instead of trying to trick me by saying nothing at all. Because had they said I can’t do two discounted items on the same transaction then I would have waited on the cart or done a separate transaction. They were very unprofessional and couldn’t even accommodate me by doing another transaction for the cart, instead they just didn’t say anything!! Then give me attitude when I come back in wondering why they didn’t say anything about the discount?

After visiting about half a dozen other places, I must say that this one is by far the nicest and cleanest facility that I have seen. This is a top notch operation with one stop shop feel. They have accessories and product both high quality. Feels more like a medical facility. The customer service is world class! Shalece was a gem and super helpful! Prices were good and they honored the coupon for a discount that I had. I'll definitely be back and have found MY spot!
Dispensary response:
Thank you for taking time and writing this detailed review! We are very glad that our staff went above and beyond during your visit, and we will be seeing you very soon.

I stopped in a few days ago to check out what The Green Solution was all about. I went in the evening (Friday) and there wasn't much of a line. There were only 2 groups in front of me. I received help but the employee wasn't very knowledgeable about the strains that were currently in stock. When I asked about the methods The Green Solution used for growing, cutting, and drying of the flowers, I received a very generic response back stating that they were all small batch flowers and that it would be too hard and costly to get all the info (but they have Terpene type and content?). I ended up with a gram of large flower Dopa-MEAN for about $18. It was super dried out and quite leafy/ not well trimmed. Upon smoking it, it was quite sour and does not match the description listed in store or on the website. It left a terrible aftertaste that reminded me of stale cigarettes (YUCK!) Didn't get me high and left me with a headache that lasted a few hours (This strain is suppose to be over 24%!) I'm not sure if I got the correct flower, even though it was labeled as such on the container. From this experience, I am very hard pressed to return and try more of their products. I feel like I wasted $18 on very poor quality flower and I could have gotten an 1/8 of quality flower elsewhere. And this flower is one of The Green Solutions 'Private Stock.' Too bad since it is quite close to me. I guess I have to drive out further to other stores.

This place used to be great, but I can no longer recommend The Green Solution at all. A month or two ago they advertised a $61.62 ounce of Cosmos flower. I bought a couple over a month and it was a great deal. Then I went a couple weeks ago and it was $67.23... Annoying because there are better deals than that and it felt like a bait and switch. So today I go to order and it's now $78 for that same ounce! I call in and ask if they don't still have the deal and am told that there was never a deal, it's always been this price. I said "Less than two weeks ago I bought an ounce for $67..." She replied "No, you didn't. It's $69.95 but you have to add tax, so it's $78 total." (which first off, no... The tax on $69.95 would be like $17, not $11) She said this like she was talking to a child. I am literally looking at my order history showing that I bought the ounces for those prices, so to be called a liar and to have them raise the price by $17 over the course of weeks is just terrible business. Go somewhere else!

They have great employees! The chicken was juicy and tender. Highly recommend
Dispensary response:
Is chicken a euphemism for cannabis? If so, thanks!
